Confused why the Gaza aid flotilla didn’t line the gunwales of all of their ships with razor wire and oil. #gaza #aidflotilla #freepalestine

Some beautiful Morning Glory’s. It’s almost as if they have a little lightbulb inside them. Nature never ceases to amaze me. #flowers #morningglory

Spotted a super cool jumping spider today while doing some woodworking in the front yard. At first glance it looked like a tiny scorpion! No idea why its front legs are significantly longer and black. #spider #jumpingspider

Really curious how much wealth the Trump family has accumulated over the last month. You’d have to be out of your mind to think he’s lost even a single cent.

Had some great runs this weekend. Friday I did a short fast run & set my PR in the mile @ 7:29. Today I did a 10 mile run trying to stay below 9:45/mile. Was really happy to see that I set my PR in the 10 mile and 15k. Loving this beautiful weather. #running #endurancerunning #halfmarathon #marathon

Hot take: We’re witnessing the death of the 2 party system in the US. No one has faith in our Democratic leadership anymore. First they lose the election, and now we watch in disbelief as Schumer and others talk the talk, but walk the walk with Trump/Elon. Jill Stein was arrested for protesting….

Just got done spending 4 days working on the brick. What started as a leaky camshaft seal repair, turned into an all belt, radiator hoses, water pump, breather box and flame trap replacement job. And there’s still an oil leak… #volvo #volvo240

The Volvo has come a long way. Gave her a much needed facelift today. #volvo #volvo240 #redblock #wagon #volvo245 #vintagevolvo #prancingmoose

Rep. Greene is a real one. Absolutely mind blown that the democrats are letting him speak. Stand up and protest one by one. Don’t let him speak. Waste all of his time. Make an absolute mockery out of this clown on the global stage. THAT IS WHAT WE ELECTED YOU TO DO. #ftrump #fascist #nokings #nazi

Set a new PR in the 10k. Really happy with my time considering I added in some big hills. Chief among them being the monster Southwest hill from the river despair, up to fire truck collection. And I saved it for right at the very end of the run too 🤣. #running #stlrunning #strava #stl #stlouis

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation. I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

Broke my PR in the Half-Marathon by 32 minutes 💪🏼. Great day for a run outside. #running #endurancerunning #stl #stlouis #saintlouis #halfmarathon #runningstl

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Dear person worried that me making fun of Trump and his party pals today will draw their attention and have them come after me: I have a decade of calling Trump awful things online, today's contribution is a mere drop in that comprehensive ocean, I was already destined for the work camp I assure you

If you have zero education, but learn how to ask AI models the right questions , in many jobs you will be able to outperform someone with an advanced degree, but who is unwilling to use Large Language Models. Just takes a smartphone, curiosity to experiment and a mindset to learn.
