Paraphrasing some dialog from Star Trek TNG:
Q: "What do I have to do to convince you that I'm mortal?"
Worf: "Die."
You say you're sorry, Marge? Resign and spend your remaining days volunteering for David Hogg. And then maybe I'll believe you're sorry.

BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

Bicycle commute number 88. I missed one. And then I missed a week due to weather. And then I took a week off. And I think this is addicting.

I read somewhere that a burn-out is "the sum of all the "fuck you" that you had to keep to yourself" and I think it's pretty accurate.

A new banner graces the neighborhood archway that has inexplicably been installed in an alleyway amongst a bunch of dumpsters. Just WTF does "Now rock in 3 days" mean?

A foreign government is giving US President Donald Trump a gilded 747. Has anyone established a betting pool for how many foreign intelligence agencies have installed various types of listening devices in this thing?

Bicycle commute number 55. The first double header commute for the year. I get to see some pretty neat stuff on the way home from work. It's also there on the way to work but it's harder to see it then because it's kinda dark when I'm on the way in.

Bicycle commute number 48. First commute for 2025, first commute in my new #bikelaneuprising windbreaker. Whipping through the predawn dark with The Who's Quadrophenia playing on my new #JBL speaker felt great.
Love, reign o'er me.

I've been taking advantage of the mild weather to get in some warm up rides before bicycle commute season starts. Spotted this on the North Branch trail.

Meanwhile in my neighborhood people discuss the best way to get rid of the local homeless camp. Throw all their possessions in a dumpster or light them on fire and then throw them in a dumpster?

None of the broligarchs knows what they’re talking about. They’re just hot air, spewing what sounds smart to them but is actually a telltale sign of ignorance.
