Not super caring about your fantasy team is only a problem if you really want to win? Pick at random or for drama. Agree to every 3rd trade someone proposes and never explain. Lose every year, but be a part of it. You only turn to AI because you desperately want to win this game you don’t even like.

My point being that half-assing a fantasy football team is only a problem if you want to win. If it’s a social obligation you feel you must bow to, make a cursory team, agree to every proposed trade (becoming super popular), and move on. You only “need” AI because you want to win this game you hate.

My extended family has a highly competitive fantasy football league with a traveling trophy and elaborate grudges. I don’t like fantasy football, so I don’t play, just sit off to the side and eat popcorn with the drama. I don’t AI a winning team to take the crown from someone who wants it?

I rode my bike to work every day this summer - took weeks for my boss to stop asking if I was going to borrow a car because it was supposed to rain tomorrow (not every day but it was a very wet summer). Could not comprehend the answer: no, I have gear.

New Haven is investing into bikeways in the next decade but it is pulling teeth to get them to put frequent exits on the paths to make it so they go places, not just in pretty circles. Also there’s a place where the bike lane crosses a busy road and they end the lane then pick up on the other side

My mom works for a university that was sued because she got the promotion a colleague of hers wanted. His suit basically amounted to fury that his white male-ness didn’t override her higher qualifications and ratings by both students and colleagues. Final judgment had a list of 12 reasons (1/2)

It reminds me of a retreat my union leadership had where we tried to map out even just potential plans to make things better. We could come up with first steps and we could imagine a better endgame but all the middle steps felt like a deep mystery. Our imaginations have a blind spot and its step 3.

(I was mostly there to point out that while the service technically REACHES the university, it doesn’t go TO where our commuter students mostly lived and was very likely to play havoc with dropoff at the elementary school across the street and why on earth didn’t it go to a grocery store?)

Once, I was at a meeting about bus rapid transit and the city officials had prepared for the parking spot warriors…only to realize everyone in the room was mad because the lanes almost artfully cut off their businesses from the new services and thought getting rid of parking made more sense, etc

One camp built a whole theological security complex around a particularly big mushroom this year and built their lunchtime rituals around protecting and enjoying “Jimmy”. Another camp, they held a funeral for a tomato.

Americans are resisting - engaging in protest and civil disobedience in a daily basis - the cruel, brutal, illegal, inhumane actions of our gov't. Please amplify their good works, the regime doesn't want you to hear how many decent ordinary Americans refuse to comply.

And definitely DEFINITELY don’t float it as an explanation for why the character you are playing in a (historical!) play is behaving badly. Just play a villain and don’t pretend it would easily explain murdering your nephews and taking the throne if the character had been autistic all along.

I have to limit my routes to the actual bike infrastructure (if it’s plowed) or the routes where the snow plows at least did a decent job of clearing the whole road. Starts to really limit things but drivers are not chill about sharing the narrowed roads.

I was enjoying Foundation series a lot more when it was all men (especially since my brain assigned several of them to be female based on the names (Hari is clearly short for Harriet not Harold, Belle is great general and also clearly female)). Couldn’t keep it up when exactly one woman appeared.

For the "pollinators" prompt for #SolarpunkArtAugust I kept thinking about the bees and butterflies who obsess over our sunflowers, so here's a sketch of their flight paths.

There’s a TV show where someone starts defending the season 1 villain song these lines and the heroine cuts in, “I don’t tend to base my opinions of people on how they treat YOU. That would be your mother. Maybe.”

- 'He was determined to prove his theory.' [portrays confirmation bias as heroism; that's not the scientific method - if you want to test the validity of something you formulate a falsifiable hypothesis then propose conditions under which it would be *disproved* - I'm looking at you flat-earthers]

And if it is simple ignorance, shut up. You personally don’t need to speak on things you don’t understand, haven’t researched, and will never experience or even be affected by. It is neither required nor neutral to hem and haw repeating bigots’ talking points you haven’t fact checked.

The actual harsh truth about MAHA is that it is an anti-vaxx, anti-science, pro-diarrhea conspiracy movement. It cloaks its arguments in abstractions about "big pharma" and "free speech" to generate *the exact op-ed The Atlantic keeps publishing*. Movements like this need to be fought, not placated.
