Very little in life is bringing joy these days, except riding my bike. I can’t believe I didn’t do this for 10 years. Damn hills. Anyway, this is good improvement compared to a year ago. And I have another goal I’m planning for…

7.4 km, 165 m elevation gain, avg speed 15.2 kph

51.68 km, 1142 m elevation gain, avg speed 18.8 kph

been busy with life things tonight & only now able to go back and find an #ALMICHAELSFACE ... my stream has some corruption artifacts tonight & i don't have a clean broadcast but it did lead to this incredible image

It's Al Michaels's face, corrupted by bad h264 bits, looking like a horror film villain. kirk herbstreit is there also.

All you would need to know about any of this is that when I talked to actual private equity people I was told “I don’t know why people do business with us either“

RIP Jane Goodall.

A giant figure in science who taught humans that our animal relatives are sentient, emotional beings who deserve our respect and love.

Yeah I’m reading some of the replies to the prompt and some people are trying to avoid small towns cause it’s dunking. I get it but there are some decent small towns. So much of it is what you happen to see and do when there

The only thing I’ve personally been to in Indiana is Turkey Run State Park. Was nice to see woods and a hiking trail inside a stream/gully. She had to fly to Indy for work in mid-March 2020. Yeah.

Meta is constructing its largest data center yet: a $10 billion facility in Louisiana, as big as 70 football fields, requiring more than twice as much electricity as the City of New Orleans.

Louisiana has had to greenlight $3 billion in new energy infrastructure to service Meta's facility.

Who wants to smell Subway bread? The only Silicon Valley brainworm app idea I have ever had is an app that gives you city walking routes to avoid having to smell Subway

This is doing numbers on social media right now and it's so depressing how people truly yearn for this shit and want to preserve that feeling indefinitely like a mausoleum of false memories.

You may not find it on the front pages - or even sports pages - of the four big local media companies, but Niamh Fisher-Black won the silver medal in last night’s women’s road race at the world champs in Rwanda.
And yes, that’s a big deal.
