The kind of bicycle that's very expensive for no good reason. (I'd also get the kind that's expensive for good reasons.)

Eh, I think the campaign was less of a problem. The media narrative was "vote for Trump if you want prices to go down" and "Did Tim Walz retire from the national guard the right way?" instead of "Trump will end the constitutional republic and the era of American hegemony."

Maybe they should have emphasized the stakes more heavily in 2024.

What's wild is the blue Citi Bikes are quite pleasant to ride. They had a good design! The ebikes steer like a tanker, will shake your bones out of your body, and sound like a kid dumping his bag of toys on the floor for the whole ride!

The Citi Bike ebikes are such an unpleasant ride. Feels worse going over bumps than skinny tire road bikes.

Is there a good reason to change the rule to that? Suddenly you go from the hurry up to "whatever as long as you don't lose possession"? I don't see how that makes things better. Playing against the clock is good drama.

BLS this morning, with revised 2Q data: "The labor share, which is the percentage of output that accrues to workers in the form of compensation, was 52.8 percent in the second quarter of 2026, the lowest level in the series, which begins in the first quarter of 1947."

whenever someone presents the normal take of "fixation on helmets is less useful than investing in infrastructure, as supported by actual evidence" people online will read "i am advising you, cyclist, not to wear a helmet" ...those are different things!

What does this have to do with vision zero? Are we going to use this data to find room for traffic calming? Will this truck stripe a protected bike lane as it drives? Seems like basic modern civil surveying.

14 hours later and my mentions are still full of angry treatises about badly behaved cyclists. Bike lanes are not a reward for good cyclist behavior! They are infrastructure proven to make cities safer for ALL ROAD USERS. Whatever way cyclists have wronged you is irrelevant to the discussion!

The fundraising texts you delete are working on someone. It’s infuriating and heartbreaking. An 85yo in Ohio gave more than double the value of his home. A 91yo in an Indianapolis senior facility gave 25K times. The DCCC/DSCC don’t just tolerate the spammers who exploit seniors. They take part.

Maybe I'm too generous, but I'd read that as complimentary, rather than critical. They're trying to make a joke, but they're not professional satirists, so they're bad at it.

I'm pretty sure they're talking about Oath of Fealty, but I read the book so long ago that I don't remember the connection elements very well. I mostly recall the use of subvocalizations to use the personal computers installed in people.
