Ultimate players never die; they just turnover. Retired software eng. I want to live in a world where science matters, not misinformation. S Jersey was my start, PA my home and the Adirondack Mtns are my happy place. Ski, bike, hike often.

Tallinn boasts 112 km of cycling routes, with the goal to exceed 300 km by 2035. Its aims for cycling to account for 11% of trips, while 70% of regional journeys should be made by walking, cycling or transit by 2035. Take a ride with us and see how the city is putting these ambitions into practice.

Philly is beta testing its own version of Boston’s Freedom Trail. I tried it and you should too.
The Path to Democracy will connect 21 sites in Philadelphia's Historic District via a walking trail of colorful ceramic tiles and mosaics.

Memorial Day weekend in the Adirondacks. At least one day was dry and beautiful.

Imagine if a woman president crashed the economy and started a war with no end in sight, and her biggest, seemingly ONLY concern was building a ballroom and redecorating the White House.

Some politicians say they want a “Christian Nation” until it comes to: Providing healthcare for the sick Funding food assistance for the hungry Raising the minimum wage for the poor They want to base our laws on the Bible until they read the words of Jesus.

And this is from someone who doesn't own one. Ignorance is no excuse. I oppose the CEO, however a lot of talented people designed leading edge EVs. The Model 3 and Y still get better range and the reliability is very good if you toss out the first model years like most cars.

The reason Trump has slapped tariffs on the entire world is not to protect American workers. What Trump cares about is being able to get concessions out of other countries and corporations that seek exemptions. It's all about his ability to hand out punishments and rewards.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode deficits 3) Use the debt as an excuse to demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Not only are they ignoring climate change—they’re trying to cover up the cost. Shutting down NOAA’s disaster tracking so we can’t see the BILLIONS it’s costing us? This ain’t solving the crisis—it’s hiding it.

DOGE initially promised to save taxpayers $2 trillion. Now it admits it's only delivered $160B in cuts. And even those minimal savings are nearly wiped out by the cost of implementing DOGE's cuts: $135B. We're losing vital government services (that are efficient!) for basically nothing in return.

Interesting that if you shop at Whole Foods, a lot of money is spent making it feel like a place that respects workers and embraces progressive values, but it is not. Costco just feels like a warehouse but they treat their workers pretty well and has rejected anti-DEI BS

‘Completely out of touch’: golf and dinners for ‘king’ Trump as economy melts down
Casual attitude as markets fall suggests man detached from anxieties of ordinary voters – and surrounded by yes men After lighting a fuse under global financial markets, Donald Trump stepped back – all the way to a Florida golf course. A week later, having just caved to pressure to ease his trade tariffs, the US president defended the retreat while hosting racing car champions at the White House. Trump had spent the time in between golfing, dining with donors and making insouciant declarations such as “this is a great time to get rich”, even as the US economy melted down. Continue reading...
