Don't call me a Cyclist

My favorite graphics in "Transportation and the Shape of Cities" #1: Motorized transportation (trolleys and then cars) changed the scale of cities.

My painting DRIFTLESS AREA

Colorful tomato for this week's #oliveartclub. Got a little impatient right at the end working with the white but overall pretty pleased with the blend of colors.

Today's lunch break drawing precision drill.

New episode today. RIP to a guy who may or may not be dead. Perhaps we'll never know. youtu.be/NuHCD87oXbs?...

Did you know these huge mfers only weigh 4-6 lbs on average?! #birdfacts

Anyone questioning Ed Sheeran's judgement clearly hasn't taken a look at his tattoo body suit curation.

If you have never ridden a minivelo, now is the time to fix that. 500 miles later, I have no regrets about anything on this round town ripper!! #minivelo

My theory about changing literally nothing about my black pen cross hatch technique but using color pens seems to work! Loved the combo of the edges of the stripes with the smooth contour overall. Used some cheap yoobi liner markers and had issues with the yellow going dry on me. #oliveartclub

If you see this, post a vampire who isn't Dracula

Back at some color, tried to apply what I learned on the pumpkin. Kind of wish I hadnt started on the black liner but oh well! #oliveartclub

Why does the democratic fundraising machine punish you so badly if you ever deign to give any funds? Not even the worst scam emails ignore your unsubscribe requests so maliciously.

Went to Whistler and all I got was bruised hands and an excellent view of a bear.

I enjoyed working this one over a couple of days while on vacation. Didn't bring any colors with me so back to black lines only for now! Bonus bee included of course. #oliveartclub

I got some white pens and this brown sketch book to use them and found this whole process very scary. In the end i am glad I stuck to the plan though! #oliveartclub

I was really hoping the city would have the grace to do this without the presence of all the weaponry and threat of high powered violence.

I love a voluminous vegetable!! #oliveartclub

These people are exhausting.

Man this one took a lot of thought. I got a bit impatient but think it worked out mostly. #oliveartclub

Husband just came in to tell me that since the assassination of Abraham Lincoln every American president has been alive at the same time as Herbert Hoover.

Thinking back to my time in the BWCA on Crooked lake during Spring of 2024 just about a mile just about a mile east of where the 700 acre beartrap fire is currently raging. Sure was soggy then, here's hoping it can be contained.

Gotta love some direct consumer feedback. It would have worked fine if the designers had made the mountains about a foot taller, but aesthetics came first I guess!

Got to ride a downhill bike for the first time this weekend. Pretty liberating to ride knowing there was absolutely no way I could get outside the capability of the bike and proud of my hard earned hardtail fundamentals being able to transfer over.

These things are too cool looking on the vine to not include! Staedler .3 and .05 liners (thanks for sharing your tools everyone!) #oliveartclub

Black cap season is the real cause of celebration in early July.

Felt like a good one for the little notepad. Played with matching my photo of the drawing with the original. Best part of Monday morning! #oliveartclub

Sharpie Pen on my new 6x8 sketchbook. #oliveartclub

It's likely, as economic conditions worsen, that the fascists will portray this as a "knife in the back" betrayal by Trump because of Jewish control, which is already taking form if you pay attention. It might seem strange, but MAGA will likely give birth to a post-MAGA / anti-MAGA fascist movement.

Exclusive: I have seen OpenAI's audited financials for 2024 and 2025. In 2025, OpenAI had $13.07 billion in revenue and $34 billion in costs. $867 million of its revenue came from SoftBank, and $303 million came from Microsoft. www.wheresyoured.at/exclusive-op...

Loved the expanded "big sci-fi" feel of the setting in @marthawells.com 's newest Murderbot diary. Curious if the ravaged torus planet was meant to be old Earth!!

I know this is a transportation choice I made, but this is a pretty funny first view of famously bike friendly Portland, OR

Nothing like a 30 degree morning after a week of 70s to clear out the bike path in the morning.

My tried and true solution to scratching the itch to buy a new bike is to just switch up the handle bar set up. Turns out, the bike you have is probably just fine!

Like even if this all ends without an escalation from the present level of bloodshed Trump and his administration should be held accountable for the threat alone. Making this threat, on its own, is a crime against humanity.

After voting for a bunch of local non contested circuit court positions this morning, does anyone have any interesting data on how uncontested elections affect voter turnout in later races? If I'd never voted before and received a ballot for a bunch of non choices I'd probably feel pretty dumb.

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

we need everyone on this site to agree to read the wikipedia article on "keyfabe"

none of this would have happened if quibi was still around

It’s almost like green energy is the only way forward and a handful of oil barons are doing everything in their power to keep that from happening so they can get even richer at the cost of literally everything else in the world.

A story I found about Haiti: In 1999, a group of Haitians were tired of political disorder and dreamed of a better life in the United States. So they built a small, 23-foot boat by hand using pine trees, scrap wood, and used nails. They called the boat "Believe in God."

the year is 2026. the disney-nvidia merger has been approved. erika kirk is the new head of cbs news. bill kristol is extolling the necessity of a vanguard party and permanent revolution
