Punk rock didn't save the world, but it should have.
I try to stay on topic, but you're going to get random posts about housing, gardening, preserving/canning, dogs, and baseball.

Look, all I want is for everyone to make 25% of the 50% of trips that are less than 3 miles by something other than car.
I know people don't like word problems, but just take your bike once in awhile.

Alright I'm tired of talking about AI.

The best part is seeing what happens when you give children a joyful way to start their day. They show up energized, confident, and connected. This is what happens when streets feel welcoming and movement is part of the morning routine. #BikeBus

So the Pentagon admits the President issues illegal orders which the Secretary of Defense and members of the military then follow.
The trials should be pretty short.

Wait... did he just admit that Vance is incompetent?
Trump on Tim Walz: "I think the man is a grossly incompetent man. I thought that from the day I watched JD destroy him in the debate. I was saying, 'Who's more incompetent, that man or my man?' I had a man and he had a man. They were both incompetent."

Here are some riders crossing the Cahuenga Pass, which the 101 passes through, in 1897.
When someone says you need a gravel bike, remember "All bikes are gravel bikes."

A beautiful little throw away from Ray Davies, released today in 1981. It's probably the sweetest break-up song of all time.

Walmart, or at least their chief people officer, says that work-life balance isn't realistic. Mike needs to STFU.
Rumor is even GOP House members are sick of being treated like potted plants, with many more threatening early departure.

![I am not a Know-Nothing. That is certain. How could I be? How can any one who abhors the oppression of negroes, be in favor or degrading classes of white people? Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except negroes" When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics." When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty -- to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy [sic].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:egd33s7iuqsmwlwab6mbtrqi/bafkreiaaicjid4jg3oongeah73ukqvwsqv4vwbp75q4f755nldtcfermhi@jpeg)
