Oh and thanks for the math and the post :)

There has to be a better way for the vast majority of us to compete and have more control — looks toward Oregon and also sees ABR out of the corner of her eye

And if you are not one of those twenty you’re spending $110 annually plus $6/race (plus payouts) to make sure that those 20ish are able to be tracked competitively (?). The breakdown on their grant making is absolutely ridiculous too. I think it’s time to split USAC in half or split from them.

Regarding the salaries at USAC, I wonder what the breakdown for those are considered expenses for the Olympic and Paralympic programs vs. recreational cycling. I think that it would be a useful reminder for all that are racing CCC that it is essentially a beer league for all but maybe 20ish people.

I won’t count the expenses for officials as they are local people that received pay for their labor. Why do we need a USAC daddy when even a system like cross results do a better job of keeping track of results and individual points than USAC does.

I definitely have thoughts. Was working on some numbers to see how many dollars that CCC contributed via race fees (~ $20k in 2024) and licenses (~ $40k in 2024 - with caveat that there are 1 day licenses and also participants are also riding other USAC disciplines).

I think there is a hope for a bit more than a tug to the left. Not gonna have any effect by being milquetoast center right cosplaying as the “left”, truly swinging left is the only way to go

Honestly don’t want to listen to his podcast but the guy seems to keep asking for a bigger shovel to dig himself a hole faster and faster

But for reals Tim Walz and JB are, I think, the only blue state governors saying anything loudly in opposition. Where are the rest of them?

Jim Gaffigan has gotten serious

I follow several of these lists and you aren’t blocked for me! Does it show who created the list somewhere?

Which is really immaterial to them. They do not care what a study that does not align with their preconceptions says. Their attempts to stave off cognitive dissonance consume all of their functional brain power

What is particularly galling is that this is almost a year old and it’s received little to no attention. And even though it’s commissioned by the IOC the bigots will find ways to poke holes in it, not knowing (or really not caring) that their pet studies have larger holes in them.

ohhhhhh definitely going to keep my eyes open for this! #butts

So we could either apply a humane solution to homelessness or follow the lead of pseudo-liberals like GNewsom and bulldoze what few possessions people experiencing homelessness have

I’m in a similar state but mine is “can I just go back to sleep, for at least 4 years” or “when is it time to flee, and to where”

It’s lunacy, and yet the hapless wannabe centrist right wing enablers are entertaining the worst of the worst from the right. I mean cmon chuck kirk as your first podcast guest? Was Andy Tate busy?

Chuck is scared of rainbows

This shit is exhausting

I need to put my phone down and just walk into Lake Michigan

Looks like I picked the (wrong timeline to transition) wrong day to stop sniffing glue

I love/hate that the newsom threads expose the bigots who got tired of their circle jerk over on xitter, sure I get new people to block but I had to see their stupidity and callousness

Maybe instead of wearing pink and holding up dumb little signs they could have stood up at some point and filed out of the room without speaking.

Revenge of the Nerds, irl

When is that fucking rocket going to take emusk to mars? And can we get Matt Walsh on it too?

Pic of a row of garbage and recycling bins. All are lined up except one garbage bin is turned on an angle to expose the side which has a sticker on it with the word “Men” in the style of a bathroom sign and an arrow drawn on the can pointing up to the open side of the bin indicating that you are to throw away the whole man.

As seen on a walk today

This has been coming and it’s not just for trans folks. Ladies get ready for skirts and dresses only. What could possibly go wrong!

But I’m hanging in there

It’s an utter shit show that doesn’t seem to stop

Totally normal country we got here

also someone already pulled it down

It’s been a minute since I’ve used a social network in this format. Take me a bit to get moving. Also the world is on fire so yeah I’m a bit preoccupied
