the tipping point for the collapse of the old world was when blingee shut down. i am not taking questions

The BMW R12nineT is an object lesson in looking at the whole dyno graph, not just the peaks. This thing rips harder than an R1300 until it runs out of revs; the raw thrust as it thrashes the tacho is pure muscle energy. #motorcycles #motosky

Watching a series of former Confederate states rush to eliminate any vestige of black representation in the House pretty much answers the question whether the Voting Rights Act was still necessary.

At a certain point of wealth, what is being pursued seems not to be wealth, but the ability to make other people suffer. What's being pursued is immunity from human decency; the ability and even the right to be depraved with impunity. They get off on the suffering. www.the-reframe.com/where-it-ends/

In the latest movie from Park Chan-wook, the director behind The Handmaiden and Decision to Leave, a paper factory worker loses his job — and resolves to kill his competition for a new one. n.pr/4qKVFk7

The Tiger Sport 800 is pleasantly feisty for a, uh, sport tourer? Tallrounder? Modern standard? Anyway, there's defs some significant Street Triple DNA in this bike.

easily my favorite sport bike i've owned, and i've owned a few all over the power spectrum. the tuono 660 factory has a raw sprightliness mixed with an in-town grace that i have yet to see executed si well. #motorcycles #aprilia

these baddies (trinity, nyx) know how to pose for the camera, because the other 99% of the time they're raising hell with every meow they can muster #cats

billionaires are a cancer on the body politic.

"rich people went insane because their own kids couldn't cut it in even in the half-assed version of 'meritocracy' where rich kids are merely handed dozens of advantages rather than guaranteed success" explains a lot of how we got here

Our norms and functions as a Constitutional democracy broke when we failed to prosecute Jan 6. This is on the Democrats.

trump is not a genius, unless you consider "persisting in lies until all opposition collapses in exhaustion" which makes all 5 year old geniuses. most of us grow out of that; he did not.

if this somehow ends the anti-meritocratic hegemony of the straight white american male (i am one) at the cost of my 401k: worth it.

quit trusting people based on semiotics and cultural biases. trust those who deliver results, and even then, examine how they delivered those resukts veeeeeery clisely

I don't intend to forgive or forget the abject cowardice of our major media outlets.

This will be a brutal summer.

1. A new poll shows a massive opposition to government censorship of transgender people happening now. It also shows heavy opposition to the impacts of Trump's anti-trans executive orders... the military ban, teacher investigations, and trans youth care ban. Subscribe to support our journalism.

This old tweet made the front page of reddit, or so I hear.

folks, look, it followed me home. how could you say "no" to this face (assuming you love medieval plague doctors) #motorcycles #motoguzzi

In my conversations with mildly concerned conservative acquaintances and family, there's a strange acceptance of these circumstances as basically a mildly unfortunate under the assumed but apparently fundamental American notion that "winner takes all".

If you want to understand why so many cis people who don't even really know trans people are in a full-blown panic over something that doesn't affect them, that's why. Their real anger is over changing gender roles, especially growing acceptance that women aren't biologically inferior to men.

Just keep breathing and observe as events unfold. People in your life will begin looking to those who are clear-minded and calm to help them understand what is going on. Suspend judgment. But do not ignore the chance to have a material impact.

The Aprilia Tuono 660 (Factory model) is such a goddam joy to ride, especially after a tune to kill the 5-6K flat spot. Just total immersion in riding, and it's so well appointed even an old man like me can feel an absolute hoon.
