It’s Friday. It’s been a long week (year). Been feeling cute so here ya go.

This article might be one of the most damning, of humanity as a species, that I have ever read. Not just the horror of the genocidal RSF in Sudan, but the blatant and obvious turning away of the US and the UK from their obligations in order to keep the UAE happy.

I still cannot get on board with the term “acoustic” for non-electric bikes. Language is always changing, but acoustic relates to sound! I think “standard”, “regular”, “classic” or “non electric” might be fine. This has been your Saturday afternoon rant.

If billionaires hate something, it’s probably good.

Hello yes I designed and built another lamp. Her name is Calla. #design #productdesign

Sporty or something

Another weekend in the city.

Near twilight.

Back on my bullshit

Me, whenever I accidentally switch my feed from following to discover without noticing

Brandon Taylor is just going crazy with this book. Need him on Bluesky.

Bored and I read too much so I’m choosing a second set of five: Pierce Brown (give us the final book, damn it) James SA Corey (fun space popcorn) Neal Stephenson (varies wildly but when he hits he hits) Naomi Novak (so much fun) Tamsyn Muir (my queen. Please, please give us Alecto)

As someone who has the extremely mild authority of building, maintaining, and running a 12 kilowatt-hour solar energy grid to power a small desert community annually, I guarantee you that battery storage is almost always your bottleneck when it comes to renewables. This is good news.

The weight loss industry doesn’t want you to know about this one WEIRD TRICK* to lose ten pounds in 4 days!! *get hospitalized with the worst bacterial gastroenteritis of your life and spend 3 days in horrible pain

Saturn. My second lamp creation. #design #productdesign #lamps #maker

Anyone know any good cello teachers in San Francisco?

Haha wow he’s actually a Nazi. Like, actually actually.

Gonna tell my kids this is the father, the son, and the Holy Spirit

This story is so messed up. There’s infinite places your money can go these days but I donated to the gofundme. gofund.me/e6016dd95

Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation.com, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza. We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...

Fucking exhausted but feeling kinda sporty spice today

Locking it in 😈

Question: why am I like this

Well that’s a new record.

Feeling seen

Truly incredible work in this Guardian article. “Remarkably tender frottage” is now indelibly burned into my brain.

On my third one of these and wow my wiring is massively cleaner (relatively speaking). I guess practice really does make perfect (or better, at least).

We ride at dawn

Hi

When you’re a practicing Catholic getting absolutely eviscerated by the National Catholic Reporter, of all outlets, you know you’ve really made some mistakes in life.

Tinkering

noooo! I’ve been to many amazing shows here. What sad news.

Ah the age old question - ask a stranger for a spot at the gym at max bench press, or be too shy and risk death instead?

Give it another year and Gen-Z/alpha will be sick of wired headphones again. There’s a reason millennials moved on. The first time they get snagged at the gym, cord gets frayed, or they’re yanked out of year ears by a seat arm when you’re standing up on public transit and they’ll be back to airpods.

Highly recommend baking pie for your friends

Biking to the gym is not supposed to be this painful. I’m not meant to live an uncomfortable life 😭

Truly incredible work. muskmusk.com

Spotify Wrapped day AND a new bench PR (3x 285)? What a day what a day.

How many newspapers or news services do you subscribe to? One, two, none?

The Heated Rivalry watch party was lit

Tom Steyer, what are you doing? Please sit your butt down.

Apropos of nothing feeling strong today

San Franciscans - whatever you’re doing do not drive to Rainbow Grocery. You better grab your backpack and get on that bike.
