I can't get over how weird this photo is. I love that someone in England captioned it: "Darling, be a dear and DO click on the floor lamp."

Data isn’t vibes. If you need vibes, check out the hate filled comments the rightwing will leave on this post and all my posts.

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

People have power. Ask Target

The triangular frame is visually and technically beautiful and was cutting edge in the 1920s. Similarly the 1932, 250cc Rudge engine is surprisingly efficient and keeps up with traffic. The 3 speed (and as many neutrals) gearbox with hand change is a bit of a challenge in traffic though.

Yesterday was the Cotton Owners & Enthusiasts Rally in Gloucester. I find it therapeutic building, riding and maintaining a machine where every component can be understood and, at a push, manufactured in a home workshop.
