Product idea: strap-on tungsten carbide ice cleats, and corresponding bicycle pedals with holes that match the pattern of the studs in the cleats. That way you can ride a bike with studded tires on ice, and not slip when you put your foot down. May also act sort of like clipless pedals

hot take. there is no male loneliness epidemic. we've just collectively learned that the construct of close personal friendship is a form of means testing, and we deserve better. #hottake #malelonileness #gamersriseup

The first drink I've had from this brand that was actually good

As for me and my house, we will take 2000 years of linguistic ambiguity with thanksgiving.

HELL YEAH: The federal prosecutor who resigned when Trump’s DOJ tried to force him to drop the Eric Adams corruption case - is running for Congress to FLIP Pennsylvania’s 7th district. And the best part? He can win. Blast this to space and watch his video. Let’s win this seat!

Spread the love and acceptance #pridemonth

Not bad, cheap Chinese tire

We obtained lists of alleged gang members used by Venezuelan law enforcement and Interpol. Those lists include some 1,400 names. None of the names of the 238 Venezuelan deportees matched those on the lists. W/ @texastribune.org‬ @cazadoresdefakenews.info & Alianza Rebelde Investiga

The GOP’s tax scam bill would allow landlords to collude to raise your rent using AI. Instead of passing tax cuts for billionaires, let’s pass laws to make housing more affordable. www.theverge.com/news/676378/...

Here's something that should be standard on bike tires: reflective white stripes on the sidewall

Seems like the more we're forced to fight for the right to not reproduce, the more we choose not to reproduce. The Left is being gaslit into extinction...

Hot take, but the Right focuses on being reproductive, while the Left... well, the opposite of reproductive is counter-productive...

The more unrealistic the wish in your dream is, the less you have to worry about it coming true.

Cutbacks have gutted the staff at NOAA’s Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory, who work to protect the public from toxic algal blooms. Severe spending limits have made it difficult to purchase ordinary equipment for processing samples, such as filters and containers.

By slashing teams that gather critical data, the Trump administration has left the federal government with no way of understanding if policies are working — and created a black hole of information whose consequences could ripple out for decades: propub.li/3RZzqHP 📽️: @josesepulveda.bsky.social

Also, centrist sources aren't considered to have blindspots, even though there's plenty that they don't cover.

Having used #GroundNews for a little over a week now, my key takeaway so far is that almost all "Left" biased sources are Center-left. So when it says "blindspot for the left," that just means liberals.

See how this works?

In Minnesota, we’re not walking away from the commitments we’ve made to our schools, to our health care, to flighting climate change, to public safety, to feeding our kids, and to taking care of seniors.

Should this happen, the event would be countered by a massive turnout of citizens protesting his birth.

ICE has begun raiding the homes of American citizens. A widely shared story out of Oklahoma describes a disturbing incident where a woman and her children were dragged into their yard half-naked. Reports are mounting across multiple states of agents targeting the wrong properties.

Took my acoustic bike for a spin with the little guy today, and it was a blast! Not as fast as the electric, but I liked not having to worry about battery life, and the easy gearing on this bike made the lack of motor pretty unnoticeable. My new go-to rig for when the schedule isn't too tight!

1803 miles as of today ❤️

Breaking News: The Trump administration dismissed all the scientists working on the government’s premiere report on the effects of climate change in the U.S.

State organizations that advocate for disabled residents in New Jersey and Arkansas announced that they will have to limit their work after not receiving the full funds they are owed by the US federal government.

The Trump administration now says they are allowed to enter your home to look for migrants without a warrant. They claim their actions are unconstrained by the Fourth Amendment.

Has anyone tried teaching Toki Pona to ravens yet? #birds #languages #science

Something I would look into if I had r&d money: which is more sustainable, a fully-enclosed bike chain, or a belt drive?

Free Luigi!

Anyone else hate how our only good news these days is coming from the least democratic branch of government?

Politics is more clear when you remember that the "waste" in "government waste" is the profit that some rich asshole isn't making off labor in the public sector whose only purpose is the common good.

many of the prominent transphobes (& some MPs) went to bat for this one after she received a police visit in 2022. they wrote articles defending her and sent her supportive messages. they won't bother speaking up now, though

Private equity buyouts are harming our firefighters, hollowing out our hospitals, & making our communities less safe. I’m pushing to stop this legalized looting & hold private equity accountable for anti-competitive practices that force communities to spend more and get less.

A multiverse of Spider-Men, but can I get one who didn't get bit til after they were married with kids? A speedster like the Flash would be too easy, but Spider-Dad can't be 2 places at once and would have to make the hard choices.

“It seems so normalized here that people don't seem to care about the loss of life where it's completely avoidable.” This is such a sad reality. Thank you, Ben and Strong Towns Fayetteville for advocating for safer streets 💛 abc11.com/post/road-sa...

Workers who track data on car crashes, drownings, traumatic brain injury, falls in the elderly, and other perils lost their jobs. Advocates worry life-saving work will stop.
