I gave up on the first question because I want us to start actually enforcing the existing regulations and that wasn’t an option.

A scale of “much more” to “much less” in response to the question “would it be good for society to have more government regulation, about the same amount of regulation as there is now, or less government regulation?”

I totally agree with the messaging here but also this looks like a really cool indie turn-based RPG.

When I was a freshman in college a classmate had worked on movie sets in Wilmington, NC, and told me about this young actor named Gary Oldman who had absolutely blown him away.

oh! they've been up and running for a couple months now. Pretty recently. They look gorgeous. I think the brown water this week was because they were using some feeder pipes that hadn't been used in a while, at least according to NPS. This was the end of May.

In the other place so I have to settle for a PVDGNT on the porch.

One thing I'm really glad about is they created separate structures for fishing. The old bridges had people casting directly from the bike path, which got, as you might imagine, a bit chaotic at times.

Posting an all-too-rare good thing™ but I got down to see the new bridges on the East Bay Bike Path in Warren, RI, today and they're gorgeous. Slightly higher than the old railroad trestles, and made of lightweight prefab trusses that require less in the way of support structures.

Oh apropos of the communion wafer comment I keep seeing ads for THC-infused those things and I’m very confused.

This 1989 Trek 1400 that I bought off a dude on craigslist when I first moved back to DC in 2017 and put some cool Nitto riser bars and a set of track wheels on and rode everywhere including down through RCP and up the Anacostia to RFK this past Sunday. Had a couple beers at Solace along the way.

Meanwhile Gabe Amo only posts on insta and the nazi bar and the best he's come up with is this crap.

Screenshot of Gabe Amo quote tweeting: Trump’s words show that he’s beyond unfit to be President.

He is dangerous and a risk to us all.

Republicans in Congress — or frankly anyone with influence over this President — speak up!

Your silence and complicity hurts us all.

This madness needs to stop now.

Bought this from @mapcenter.com and gave it to @wvistheduck.bsky.social as a wedding present. It gets used.

Super-tough Dutch cycling helmets.

a bunch of Dutch kids riding bikes to school wearing normal-ass clothes and no helmets because they live in a country that prioritizes just riding a goddamn bicycle because it's better than strapping yourself into a fucking car on every imaginable level

Apropos of nothing but my favorite thing about Lynch's Dune will always be that Gurney Halleck's baliset was just a Chapman Stick with some ground effects.

I’m glad the shoveled the drive and cleared off the car. my guess is that they plan on sitting in it making vroom-vroom noises until the plows come down the one-block side street to clear the three feet of snow?
