I wanted to "respectfully" share with you the reaction of the architect of the 134 and 135 initiatives. They talk a big game about what they want you to "think" they want to accomplish, but the tone and the slurs are the real story.

And now back to my full time job, texting the word "stop" to every living Democrat.

Maybe stop bitching about your own little problems for a second and help me find out where my wife hid the goddamn Halloween candy.

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

it's just as easy to forecast a huge DSA swing from angry dems willing to vote in whoever is Big Mad (which DSA endorsed candidates are genuine about) -> DSA folks govern effectively -> hey wow the DSA actually fucking rules, keep voting for DSA candidates!!

youtubers, streamers, podcasters, etc are always on this beat bc they don't know how anything works & know that if they say something like this, their audiences will lap it up now & also 3 years later when they point to total gay commie revolution not happening and go "see? i was right!"

I don't want to hear any whining about fixing certs from the information security types today. you chose to join the techno-priest caste, now shut up and perform the rites of exorcism

question for the audience: if you were ultra rich (let’s say $25M), what completely frivolous thing are you buying?

Replying to @ryanlcooper.com

boy Trump fucked the American auto industry. first he yanks their EV subsidies, leading them to slash production and write off tens of billions in investment, then he jacks up the price of oil by 50%, leading to skyrocketing EV demand going almost entirely to China bc GM et al left the market

Someone I've known for a long time got hit while riding and is badly hurt. Everyone who rides a lot knows people who've gone through this (or worse). This is the backdrop to reading stories about drivers who want to rip out a protected bike lane because it's so hard to look both ways. Infuriating.

Eagle-eyed readers might note the almost total lack of hyperlinked evidence for this paragraph's many sweeping generalizations. Among them, that young readers want TOUGH GUY cultural objects that are cruelly being denied them by all these meddlesome women, when, in fact...

offended my alma mater isn’t a good enough school to be accused of fostering white genocide too

Vance: "Some of America's most elite universities bring in foreigners to undercut wages of American residents. There are 9 universities in particular we believe merit an investigation. Those are Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Brown, the University of Pittsburg, UC Davis, Cal Tech, Arizona State, and MIT."

All painted bike lanes are car infrastructure. The engineers have checked a box, while still allowing at-will, unimpeded movement by motorists in the heart of a major city. This design only serves those who are comfortable being uncomfortable.

relatedly one mayor candidate is now bragging that he didnt take matching funds (because he fundraised beyond the allowed cap, one assumes)

feral cross racer@ryanbonick.com

local finance laws limit contributions to $100 per candidate / PAC (i think they can go higher but the city matches up to like... 13k? if you dont so most people dont go beyond) i'll usually try to send that to my fav candidates

final tally on my ride today: 3 dogs off leash on multi use path, 3 college kids riding wrong way in bike lane, 1 car blocking bike lane, and 1 car pulling out too slowly right in front of me and people wonder why road racing is dying out in the states...

yeah so it'd be cool if it wasn't a fucking ambulance speeding through a fucking slip lane and almost destroying me

amazing how it only takes one clueless driver to ruin the enjoyment of a bike commute home

"china is charging their cars in less time than it takes you to fill up your F-150" is the kind of banal jingoism i always assumed would get us finally kicking it up a notch on serious infrastructure buildout but we were a lot more directly addicted to gasoline in addition to racism than i thought

im not bringing an iced coffee, because one should be provided for me

Kai Ryssdal@kairyssdal.bsky.social

I’m sorry, but if you bring an iced coffee - or any damn beverage at all - to a job interview, you’re disqualified. It’s not hard, people.
