Antifa is an English word and isn’t even a new one. Also, while it’s true some people are trying to redefine it and make it a loaded word, that doesn’t mean you need to let the anti-antifa win.

It is inarguably a thing that you need to cheerfully celebrate and support. – Merlin Mann (2/2) #merlinswisdom

Scott Woods-Fehr @scottwf.bsky.social · Sep 3

Your kids are not little versions of you; they are little versions of themselves. So, don't be sad or alarmed whenever they are becoming something different from you. Because, they will become *lots* of things that are different from you, and that's arguably the whole point. (1/2) #merlinswisdom

“Most parents understand it's their job to keep their child from dying. But, as the kid gets older, it also becomes increasingly vital not to prevent them from living. This is very difficult.”

So anyway, I guess I’ll be at the gym if you’re looking for me.

Is there a bigger scam than gym memberships?
Monthly rate is actually every 2 weeks. So a chart showing $35 for the monthly rate is actually $70/month.
Then there is the $40 sign up fee.
Don’t forget the annual $25 maintenance fee. What maintenance? For the machines I’m paying twice monthly to use.

Waiting on hold with customer support and hearing, “your call may be recorded for training purposes” means something different now than it did a few years ago, doesn’t it?

I made something this weekend to help check the data in my SQLite databases. I can view and sort tables and rows and use a local LLM through ollama to help write SQL queries.

It’s 2025, the year where your friends are talking about AI leading to the destruction of society in one group chat while another chat with most of the same people is using AI to make a Seussian retelling of Apocalypse Now.
What a time to be alive.

AI generated cover for a Dr. Seuss Produced Apocalypse Now.

I’m hoping I can find the VHS-C tapes because they have my hours of me and friends riding in 1993-1995 plus my runs from Chicago Hoffman contest, the only Hoffman Bicycle Stunt contest I rode in. I placed 7th in amateur and it felt like an accomplishment at the time.

Scott Woods-Fehr @scottwf.bsky.social · May 12

Exciting new project:
I thought I still had my VHS-C tapes with riding from 1993 and 1994, but at least I have these. One tape has 2Hip King of Vert which must be 1989 and it’s where Hoffman pulled the 1st 900. Also Jay Mirin riding a skatepark when he was first sponsored by GT.

VCR and video tapes of bmx riding in Canada in the early 1990s.

That feeling when your son sends you a song and says, “this reminds me of the Mountain Doats and I think you’ll like it” and he’s right.

I need to convince Andy that I did this there’s a statement of our love, but the police that it wasn’t me.

I only rode The Edge in Winnipeg a few times but it was a great park.

I haven’t seen Jason or Dave in 20 years so that’s it’s exciting to hear Ens is coming to town for the Brett Craig memorial jam in June.

It only took him 35 years to make the team. We’re both from the generation of BMX where everyone knew everyone else across western Canada.
Dave Osato’s parents would drive them from Winnipeg to Medicine Hat to ride with us for a weekend before they could drive.

For decades North America has moved manufacturing to China and now a foolish old conman is trying to reverse decades of infrastructure and automation while flip flopping on tariffs.
I’m sure it will work out just fine…

Jonah and I went to the pump track yesterday. I would have never imagined when I bought my 2005 McNeil Miron that I would one day be riding skateparks with my son.
