BarryJT @barryjt.bsky.social · 4hWhy did the right fielder take even a step back on that ball? Pops still has the longest HR at Dodger Stadium. He's the only man to reach the upper deck at Veterans Stadium. The public pool outside Jarry Park Stadium was informally renamed "La piscine de Willie" for all the balls he hit into it. 020
BarryJT @barryjt.bsky.social · 23hAnd as it kills the internet, because who's going to create new stuff when no one will ever see it, culture is just going to grind to a halt when all AI can do is cut and paste the past. 020

BarryJT @barryjt.bsky.social · 08/10/2026It looks like there's probably 3 or 4 months at least, because there's no way they're going to get it to the city council by the last meeting of October. Just put a traffic light on Ramon Rd for cyclists to cross at street level. 120

BarryJT @barryjt.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Plus, Twitter has approximately $13 billion in acquisition debt. The interest payments alone cost Twitter $1.5 billion annually, a sum that exceeds its cash flow and keeps the platform structurally unprofitable. 100
BarryJT @barryjt.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Just reading about Twitter's finances. In the first half of 2026, Twitter generated $710 million in ad revenue, down 18.4% from the first half of 2025 ($870 million). This represents a staggering 70% collapse from the $2.2 billion in ad revenue Twitter pulled in during the first half of 2022. 100

BarryJT @barryjt.bsky.social · 05/10/2026There was a moral panic about ATVs in the 80s but it went away when the industry sacrificed 3 wheelers. I suppose the lesson to be learned is the bike industry should sacrifice throttles. 010
BarryJT @barryjt.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Making an ICBM to hit a target half a planet away is pretty hard. Just look at Elon Musk. All the money in the world and he can't make rockets that don't explode. 010
BarryJT @barryjt.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I saw Guns N' Roses open for Alice Cooper. Axel showed up so drunk that security wouldn't let him through the backstage door. They went on without him and the other band members took drunken turns singing lead. Absolutely the worst band I've seen. 000

BarryJT @barryjt.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I hate when someone says so-and-so is the MLB's post season leader in some stat. It's pretty pointless; guys play more post season games in one season than all time greats used to play in their careers. 010
BarryJT @barryjt.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I tell you, just as the auto industry created jaywalking and demonized pedestrians, the AV industry will come after all road users. You won't be able to leave your house without a government approved beacon so that AVs can see you. And you're gonna be responsible to avoid them. 020
BarryJT @barryjt.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I'm very proud that my neighborhood gets 800-1000 trick or treaters. I don't know where all those kids come from, but I'm happy to see them walking our sidewalks. 030
BarryJT @barryjt.bsky.social · 03/10/2026That point is never going to arrive. 21% of Americans are functionally illiterate. There are some really dumb people out there. 000
BarryJT @barryjt.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I was just thinking about something similar to this. We need to convince city councils that a 20% bike share will balance their budgets by reducing road maintenance. 020

BarryJT @barryjt.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I hate the bike industry. Bunch of idiots who don't understand that rather try to squeeze more money out of existing customers, the way to make more money is to sell more bikes to more people. Fortunately, I'm of an age where my current road bike is probably my last. 011
