Bike #5

I have insomnia because I stayed up too late getting ready for tomorrow which is now today. I'll only get like 6 hours of sleep max, but God damnit I certainly won't be unprepared.

ah the small government libertarian utopia realized

Again, I’d like to encourage the people who think it’s a good idea to embrace a cruel and capricious dictatorship, while making it clear no legal or legislative authority can stop them from ruining ordinary people’s lives, to keep on reading to see what usually happens next.

The Crock Pot is one of the only times when real life works like video game crafting. You dump in some powders and the remains of several vile birds and out comes hot delicious food

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

JUST IN: Judge Charles Breyer finds that President Trump exceeded the scope of his authority and violated the 10th Amendment by federalizing the California National Guard and orders him to return control to Governor Newsom. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

In moments like these, I go to Frederick Douglass. Here are his words in a letter written after visiting Robert E. Lee’s abandoned plantation in 1863:

And just a heads up this is Danelle Plaza in Tempe on Mill and Southern. Given the large amount of presence earlier, it'd still advise at-risk folks to be cautious in the area and if anyone sees these guys around, don't forget to send a tip to the Migra Watch Hotline: (480) 506-7437

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

This is what every great catch makes you say but I really feel like this is maybe the best catch of this kind that I've ever seen.

this speaks a bit to my argument about leaving twitter. it's not about ideological purity, it is about the fact that it's been turned into a political weapon for people who wish to use it to harm others. it's not the marketplace of ideas - you do not have to participate in this project! very simple!

This is why we have... why we need Pride.

If we can’t take the win of “the opposition is drunk driving the country” because it’s offensive to drunk drivers then I’m sorry but we deserve to lose

Everyone has one Mitch Hedberg joke stashed in their brain like a squirrel to sustain them whenever they need to feel joy for 30 seconds and mine is “they say the recipe for Sprite is Lemon and Lime but I tried to make it at home, there’s more to it than that”

Oh my god, I was unaware my friend Dianna (aka physicsgirl) had improved so much so recently! This video made my heart swell, even as it laid bare just how awful this devastating disease is.

if dems want messaging help, stop telling people you're "fighting back." it sounds like you're being mugged. call off the podcaster search, take your ridiculous money pile and try opening some food banks and free clinics. hurricanes are coming and the feds have no plan. looks like an opening to me.

An apt demand from someone who I am pretty sure has never once soul searched abt a generations worth of fatuous columns

"You read books, eh?" A 1949 red scare Herblock cartoon about pressures on teachers that hits hard once again.

Life's too short to watch mockbusters and slop that can't even try.

“you should have a choice” means “we get to choose for you”

wife: how was guarding the two paths today, honey? guard: [looking away] fine wife: did something happen? guard: [tearing up] no wife: would the other guard tell me something happened?

Good morning. Ancient Irish blessing. “ May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, The rains fall soft upon your fields. And, until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand.” #sunset #Ireland #Stunday #EastCoastKin

In The Andromeda Strain, scientists are tasked with cracking the secret of an alien life form — only to find that it can mutate into newer and deadlier forms. Glenn Erickson of CineSavant appraises the film’s new 4K edition from @arrowvideo.bsky.social: trailersfromhell.com/the-andromed...

We live in such strange times

Rep. Julie Johnson to Noem: "Are you aware that ICE agent jackets are available on Etsy for $20? Anybody can throw a mask on and run around and terrorize people of color without any regard for the law because your agency does not have proper protocols to make sure your agents are clearly identified"

this should be career ending

I'm in an internet outage rn. 😭 #Andor

THIS GUN FOR HIRE - NYC premiere this day in 1942 - French release poster - Art by Boris Grinsson

This is my new favorite image because it perfectly encapsulates the concern trolling and crybullying from the right when you give them even a fraction of what they spew out on a consistent basis.

happy mother’s day

I am outraged by the unjust arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka earlier this afternoon outside of Delaney Hall in Newark. I am calling for his immediate release by federal law enforcement.
