The turnout for Bicycle Weekends today is amazing. And yeah, there are some counterprotestors trying to rain on everyone's parade. But there are no signs so far that anyone is going to let that happen.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Trump is committing war crimes in Iran and is threatening more and worse ones. His entire war strategy at this point is war crimes. A functional Congress would be far down the road of impeachment and removal.

‘Bike mechanic turned internet mechanic’ creates mapping tool of people killed or injured while walking or biking in WA
Snapshot of deaths and serious injuries in Seattle between 1/30/2015 and 1/30/2026 (more recent data may be incomplete). From CrashMap. Nick Magruder is a self-described "bike mechanic turned internet mechanic" who dedicated his free time to create a tool to help people "conceptualize and ingrain the true scale of the damage traffic violence bares on our communities," he wrote in an email to Seattle Bike Blog.

I continue to be fascinated by the phenomenon whereby an expert engages with any of the LLMs on their field of expertise and is instantly horrified by the wrong answers, and then goes on to use it for things they are not experts in as though it won’t be just as bad for those.
