Henderson the Purple Rain King

The resolution to this shitpost only took 777 days and ~1500 miles but I somehow did it. I’ve now biked to all 81 Chicago Public Branches in reverse chronological order (by year constructed). LFG.

But a couple hours after I told my parents I got a short email from my dad: I am proud of you! The times are hard. You have stood up for what we all believe in. Now is the time for all of us to look to stand up to the tyranny that is being pushed upon us.

People think being cynical means you're smart or something but I will never stop acting like I have hope and I don't care how silly it seems

$10 cards? That's like two gallons maybe. I certainly hope your vote is worth more than that. At least Willie Wilson was willing to fill your tank.

"amplify your people" is 100% the best strategy

...I am never beating the allegations of "man who has a lot of pictures of his bike" grape costumes work great for kids as well (and are much easier to transport on a cargo bike than in a car seat).

Don't know where it'll all go, but I DO think we have an opportunity in software to break out of some of these approaches and take a much more dynamic look at our within-team change, within-person change, and learning journeys within orgs. That's pretty exciting to me.

Did you know there’s still time for you to organize your own “Roll to the Polls” style bike bus before Election Day? …because what if voting with your friends was a party? Tagging @coachbalto.bsky.social (one of the OG Bike Bus organizers) for reach.

Might be time to go home and be a family man

hey who can I vote for for Chicago mayor that’ll make it so I can just walk into Millennium Park

Lisa Loeb Models…

Everyone thought Lula was cooked, hopeless. Then he bought a phone and started posting and now he's gonna get a 4th term. The lesson is to never stop posting.

If you told me the refs have money on Green Bay-Detroit game, I’d believe you.

We all drove our car to the same densely populated urban area and then parking was bad… Here’s why I’m against Vision Zero!

Tried to make it to these places today but only made it as far as Tasa at North/Pulaski. …a horchata latte and the pickle from their Cuban sandwich could fix me (and did!)

Chicago is perfect (part one million)

I don’t know who this “Eriksen” fellow is, but any resemblance between he and myself (whose social media handle also happens celebrates the various misspellings of my surname) are purely coincidental.

Remember! Just because the dead can’t vote in Cook County anymore doesn’t mean they don’t like being invited along for the ride! Check your tires. Check your judges! Tell your friends! And let’s ride!

Emma may not know it yet but she definitely wants us to #BuildTheTunnel so she can ride CrossTowner regional rail instead

Hey so just a heads up, if you take a speakerphone call in a bar you're an asshole. If the call is so loud I can hear it happening over the music in the bar, you're beyond redemption.

I hate seeing Kim Mulkey in every context

We all need some joy right now. You know what to do youtu.be/jPCJIB1f7jk?...

Five minutes into the AMA between @charity.wtf and @grimalkina.bsky.social and have already heard the framing, “How are we accountable and responsible to each other?” 💙💖💙

Currently engaged in a piece of performance art called “trying to get compensation for a bike I rented to get around at a conference via SAP Concur.” Current sticking points are that I filed under “Rental Car” and a fabric patch on the sales receipt (that I’m excluding from the reimbursed total).

I was out walking the dog and an old lady flagged me down so I popped out my airpod and she said “I just wanted you to know that your dog is allowed to pee in my yard! that’s what the yard is for.” real heroes walk among us.

Finally we're fighting back! This ad goes so fucking hard youtu.be/Gt_IZoM9KuQ?...

I don't want to listen to a Confluence page. I want my calendar to get blocked so I can read, understand, and respond (if necessary) to said Confluence page when it's shared with me.

Whose idea was it to call this event “Roll to the Polls” and not “No Kings but Biking”… If you’re a suburban Cook County voter and want to join our bike parade to early voting, we’d love to host you. All ages and abilities so your kids ride too! tracker.oak-park-bikes.com

Do you disavow Jimmy Fallon’s role as an extra in Band of Brothers?

I SAID YES!!!!!! 💍🥂🥳🎉 I asked myself if I wanted to grab an iced coffee and browse the bookstore.

just asked my tailor if he disavows the muslin brotherhood

Yay! The packers were allowed to touch the quarterback without a flag!
