first Slow Roll of the summer <3

Every splashy New York Times profile of a right wing influencer.

So uhh… how exactly has that guy sitting on top of the Fredrick Douglas Bridge in DC been going to the bathroom? It’s been like 4 days?

Currently attempting to bike the length of the metropark by my house. lol it goes all the way down to Berea, so we’ll see how far I get 😅

My subtle brag up until this point has been that I am the only person my age or younger I know that does not have any tattoos, but it occurs to me that going forward that might be eclipsed by being the only person I know who has never used chat gpt or any kind of generative AI

So bc of the effect the war in Iran is having on gas prices the epa has rolled back restrictions to allow the sale of gas that’s 15% ethanol, as opposed to the standard 10. Ethanol burns faster meaning you’ll get significantly less mileage out of the same (now overly expensive) gasoline.

He’s teasing taking over Cuba. We’ve spent $30 billion on his disaster in Iran and the only thing we have to show for it gas 3000 dead, and gas prices above $5/gallon, and he’s talking about trying to take over Cuba 🫩

I hate containing multitudes. I can barely contain myself as it is

Happy International Workers' Day. Solidarity. Poster by @rlmartstudio.bsky.social, and also on my office wall.

They think you're stupid

brilliant. we took away the very concept of a pension, replaced them with 401Ks, destroyed the stock market, and then eroded those same 401Ks to the point where matching barely still exists, and now we’re just putting it entirely on the private sector. This is a nightmare.

Shaker Heights, Parma, Strongsville

omg. somebody made a bunch of maps of what different cities would look like with an actual rail system and I think I’m gonna cry. 🥹

"Meanwhile illegals get free healthcare" — She can't even be mad at a real injustice without inventing minorities who are somehow better off. Brainpan teeming with maggots.

a truly heart breaking (but extremely predictable) side effect of the israeli government and zionists around the globe very intentionally conflating all jewish people with the actions of the israeli government and the fascist zionist ideology is that there has been a gigantic rise in antisemitism

I think it's honestly so sweet that the youths have basically reinvented project chanonology from first principles

I was told Iran was begging for a deal?

people are always so negative about AI. They’re always saying “algorithms have ruined social media! blah blah blah” but these are the kinds of targeted ads I get as a cyclist Still think AI is “awful”??

she’s in her Rhythm Nation era

looks like it's time to shut up about losing range in the winter

muting accounts is such an underrated feature 🥰

in unrelated news- there has *never* been a better time to get into cycling and to start trying to improve/expand your local municipality's public transportation system!

Can’t wait to go see Granny Smith and the Broken Collar bones

Kid Rock was flown in on a helicopter to address the Pentagon. No, you read that right.

“I’m putting together a team”

people don't talk nearly enough about just the absolutely insane number (and variety!) of animals he has consumed/desecrated the corpses of

The problem is not the Republican Party. The problem is bigger; it's capitalism itself.

Oh wow really

I can never fall asleep when I want to so I end up lying awake scrolling for hours trying to make myself drowsy enough to fall asleep. And then the second I actually *do* start to get tired I suddenly need to go pee 😩😤

I got really high and thought I came up with a new version of capitalism that might actually work, but when I went to write it down midway through I realized it was just the same thing 🫠

*getting in 3 hour long argument about whether or not horseshoe theory applies to jello-o*

Remember how less than three weeks ago the president threatened to kill an entire civilization

Bicycle safety is so important. This video illustrates the proper methods to utilize so you can stay safe while out cycling ☺️ 🚲

A 60 year old employee got shot to death yesterday afternoon by a random man who walked in carrying a gun at a Costco not that far from me. I cannot stress enough just how much I really *really* fucking hate guns.

Wait what

wait- so is the guy dead, or arrested? they’re reporting two different things

we just can’t have anything nice I guess ☹️

HOLY SHIT SHOTS FIRED AT THE WHITE HOUSE CORESPONDENT’S DINNER!

Okay, I worked out today and rode my bike like just under 30 miles- ethically does that mean I get to stretch out on the couch and order out for chinese, or is that still considered western decadence?

I’m out riding my bike and it’s so foggy out you can’t see the top of some of the buildings 🤓

I couldn't go to this, but I've been following it for the better part of a year now! dude! how sick would it be if you could just hop on a train and be down in columbus for a show in just over an hour, enjoy your evening, and be back in town by the end of the night without ever touching a car?

Okay, I’m not religious, but I’d say that probably counts as one point on the side of karma being real

just found out monster energy drink isn’t made out of real monsters 😔

shhhhhh! he just went down- don’t raise your voice too much or you’ll wake him! 🤫

dude I *hate* the stupid new carousel layout for multiple images. this sucks so bad- why are they forcing this?

Okay, so movies cost like $9000 per ticket now, and their new plan to get people to go back to see them more often is to start showing AI slop. I swear to god we are about to see the biggest resurgence of live entertainment this country has ever seen since vaudeville 🫩

When someone’s advocating for socialism and they’re poor you tell them “you’re lazy! you need to work harder! you leech!” But when someone is advocating for socialism and they’re rich you call them hypocrites What’s the correct amount of money to have where you are allowed to advocate for socialism?

I’m not sure what the best practical solution for what is to be done with palantir going forward, but I think a pretty good start might be if we thr*w Al*x*nd*r K*rp into a volcano.
