Phoning home during Bikecentennial '76 Somewhere in Missouri, USA 📷Dan Burden

Unexpected fringe benefit of going on an early morning run sans headphones? I'm pretty sure I heard the lion at the zoo roaring.

wow I wonder why my entire body was in the air in the first place

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

This year on Yom Kippur I'm thinking about how I can do better and be better and make amends, but it's hard to not ALSO think about how the people who really really need to be doing that reject the premises of self-improvement and apologizing.

I never want to see another human trot across a crosswalk, hurry their stroller/kids/mobility device or rush a senior resident through an intersection or any road. It’s ridiculous, like we’ve been gifted some incredible act of patience and kindness from our auto overlords.

Military clothes were historically designed for function, not fashion. High-waisted pants kept shirts tucked and allowed for better mobility. The Ike jacket was inspired by British battledress, which involved a cropped jacket that felt comfy when driving. Why change? IG army.navy.vintage

I don't think my wife and I are prepared for what Kid 1 venturing out of the Mac And Cheese Zone means for our food budget

“Frog,” said Toad, “let us eat one very last cookie, and then we will stop.”

this would give you a heart attack if you saw it in 1998

you should probably clean up all this existential dread, we’ve got company coming over later

🚨 ACTION ALERT: Secretary Duffy’s DOT says bike lanes are “not in the public interest” – and is canceling hundreds of millions in grants for biking, walking, and trail projects nationwide. Take action: bikeleague.org/action-center

Every time there’s a camera closeup of a player or coaching staff member of the 2017 Astros during a game no matter where they’re at now always surprising that dudes calling the game don’t say ‘can you believe that cheating piece of shit got away with it with absolutely zero consequences’

Stop every campaign/effort telling people on bicycles/pedestrians and anyone outside the car how to be safe and divert ALL resources to remove every opportunity for drivers to be dangerous.

the US if Tylenol actually caused autism

calling autism a “tragedy” and saying that there should be fewer autistic people are eugenicist talking points. Everyone who opposes such views also needs to recognize the ways in which everyday ableism left the door wide open for a person like RFK Jr.

*adjusts spectacles and lifts ear trumpet* I'm old enough to remember when supermarkets sold ice cream by the half-gallon

Corner of Tidewater Dr & Norman Ave. I saw this coming from further away better than either the pick-up truck driver or the motorcyclist who collided in front of my shop. The motorcycle was broken in two, the rider was taken to the hospital, condition unknown. 1/

The danger of having a friend who's a little more bougie than you are isn't jealousy or whatever, it's that you get hooked on treats that should be out of your budget range but are SO good?? Anyway I just bought my first case of lemon Spindrift and I don't think I can ever go back to Belle Vie again

We served over 151 million (!) free meals to students last year, saving families an average of $1,000 per student. Students should be able to focus on the classroom, not on where their next meal will come from. We’ve made that a reality in Minnesota.

“No,” said Frog.

I probably shouldn’t be saying this but I’ve convinced more than 60 German Shepherds to quit the police force

Just got fired for sharing a clip of Robert Redford killing an old woman because it was "taken out of context" and he was "actually playing a kind and gentle personification of death itself"

It’s interesting to see a writer list “the worst things” a man has done, and it’s truly a list of horrors, and then blithely say that still, we must get along. You can only do that when you aren’t in anyone’s political crosshairs. Must be nice.

millennials are band directors now and I think that’s terrific

Paywalls. Paywalls fucking everywhere. As if the sheer number of ads behind said paywall aren't enough to cover things. I know everyone needs to make their money, but holy fuck -- no wonder the world is teeming with a bunch of incurious, under-read mouth-breathers. Curiosity has a bill.

Remember the West Wing episode after Bartlett was shot and CJ listed *all the other people* shot that day and closed with “lest anybody think a gun would have prevented these crimes, let’s remember that the President was shot while surrounded by the best armed bodyguards known to man.”

Obviously I’m a glutton for punishment because I just replied to 15+ comments to a news story about my city adding a bike lane. A project about ten years in the making that many people are acting like it’s the first time they’ve heard of it.
