I am back to end of season weight from November and it's only end of June. I may hit a new weight goal by end of season this year!

This is what courage looks like. This is what caring looks like. This is what hope looks like.

Last week I read that Xbox prices were going up again, so I decided it is time to buy a backup series S. The boys jumped in and offered to split the cost of a series X. Also, best Buy had them all on the old price less $100, so that was a quick decision.

2 hours a day commute time on my bike - I get a little tired by friday. reading the news and seeing all the dumb shit in the world every day - I'm fucking exhausted.

Jesus H Christ, what a wild chaotic day so far. Nothing horrible, just getting pecked to death by ducks.

Day 21,235 of knowing exactly how Cassandra felt every single day...

Watching this on youtube. Holy shit, man. youtu.be/pdzkCwy46zo?...

As mysteriously as my threads account was reactivated, it's been banned again. At this point I'm pretty sure that Zuck's bots are just fucking random.

It is raining today, so I took a bus to the office. Still a much better way of getting around than driving my own car unnecessarily. Another week of my car sitting there only being used when necessary.

I went to winnipegmovies.com and was impressed to see they added a "catch a bus" link that led right to Winnipeg Transit's site. I never noticed this before, and I think it's brilliant. #fuckcars #publictransit #winnipeg

There they are!

Pride belongs in the Pembina Valley sign between Morden and Winkler Manitoba vandalized. Imagine the outrage if one of the church or pro-life signs were treated like this? #manitoba #pride

It's that simple.

FYI, cycle commuters, the northern leg of King's drive (yellow) is under construction northbound, so you have to detour as shown to reach the university. Good news! King's Drive is being resurfaced!

Normally you wouldn’t increase the likelihood of US casualties by announcing something like this ahead of time, unless you are bluffing to use it as a negotiating ploy, you are stupid, you don’t really care about the troops, or all three.

Why don't cyclists use bike paths to get around? There is no need for them to go on the roads ever! The bike path:

Guess I better take another look at steam OS. Lots of options for my day-to-day workstation at home, but gaming....

The struggle is real

I am logging miles on this rig!

I cannot express how much I love this ebike. It has the same feel and size as my hybrid, gives just enough boost for those hit, windy days. So far I have gotten 50 km range and still had plenty of battery. My daily commute is 40 km total. 300 km logged in it. Aventon Soltera 2.5

He's gonna demolish the Kennedy center. Even money.

Been riding the new ebike for a week now, have learned how to optimize it's power consumption and keep a consistent speed. The slight edge it gives me now makes it the fastest way for me to get to and from work despite the fact that is 40km round trip daily. Less lights than a car, stops than a bus.

Holy shit, it's 11 am already! time is just zooming by!

@ianmccausland.bsky.social "But there's no evidence that lower traffic speeds make cities safer"

This thing, it still feels like a regular commuter bike, it's nimble, light and easy to equip with fenders/rack/etc. More than 40km fully loaded on eco assist mode (lowest level) and still cooks along at a good clip. Also, affordable, so there's that too. www.aventon.com/en-ca/produc...

😎🪴🌵 we want #EpsteinFiles names

It appears my threads account is back, which is funny. The site though, holy shit. So toxic.

Found on Reddit. I love everything about this. NOT MY BIKE. NOT MY DOG. Just what we should all aspire to...

Another Thursday without releasing The Epstein Files!

Freedom of speech died today. You silence one we are all silenced to a degree.

#Alberta is gonna have their referendum, the UCP rammed it through. And when they lose that, Dannie is gonna nerf it even more for the seppies, and they'll whine all kinds of more. Then they'll lose again, and Dannie will nerf shit even more for them. Alberta is a shitshow under the UCP.

Ahhh. That feels better.

Hell hath no fury like a (wo)man scorned. Thomas Massie will spend his time left in Congress naming names. LFG‼️ We need full investigations into all people involved in the #EpsteinFiles. He won’t stop, and neither will we.
