I feel confused. So where are we supposed to pee then? Against their office door?

NO KINGS is a national day of action. We come together to march and collectively lift our signs and voices against fascism, authoritarianism, cruelty and hate We stand together against authoritarianism, corruption, and the growing threat of of violence to our neighbors and our city!

Huh, I guess this is physically possible for a wife attached by a metal rod (not a rope) to the bicycle. The longer the better.

Also I'd ditch the bicycle tires and just put the rims directly onto the cable.

I accidentally bought onion flavored cheese and what I'm left wondering is: "why does this exist?"

They had bicycle ridership stats but not crash stats. :/

everyone loved the tech industry's free music and friendship machines of 20-30 years ago. it's unclear what could be causing people to feel the opposite about the industry's new racism and insanity machine

I've tried riding with an umbrella in my hand.
Crosswind makes it pretty impossible, since umbrellas are basically big sails. Then the umbrella tears itself apart.
Maybe there are specially designed, lower wind-resistance umbrellas or something.

Those ship pins are so iconic. At what Kickstarter level do I have to back to get the designs inducted into unicode, so that I can emote with them on every platform? 😘

I'm with you, but the graphic is painfully misleading. Neither gasoline in the tank of an ICE vehicle, nor charge in the battery of an electric vehicle, just appears there without any other energy spent putting it there.

This seems like it's in the public interest.

Huh.

Some people feel a powerful urge to get their thumbprint into a thing. If I were smarter about it, I'd figure out a way to get them that feeling without them degrading the final product.

In case of ties, though, you should go for the one designed by humans and not cattle!

Sorry, Louisville: Saint Louis is better designed.

Here in the Midwest, where bicycles are still somewhat viewed as transportation for poor people and nobody knows what "pannier" means: my panniers' contents are _safe_.

The bell is a bit of a mind control device that prioritizes the faster traffic. It's weird that it works so well, but kind of lucky for me, I guess.

Also: Mitten not returning emails, nothing on public calendar. Very odd.

Gina MItten for Missouri Senate District 4 Committed to building a brighter, more inclusive future for our community.

There are other candidates for this state senate seat.
Gina Mitten, for one, though her campaign seems strangely quiet. I'm worried about that. It's hard to find information.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: β€œHe might have thought β€˜how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said β€˜this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

We're watching the theatrical Return of the King, and it's shocking to me how bad it is.

Denethor feels random and slapstick, since they cut 80% of the palantir. Abruptly changing POV away from Theoden's death. They set up The Last Battle in about 100 seconds of dialogue. It all feels so amateur.
