Rewatching School of Rock with @erindwyer.bsky.social It did not age well. 1. Dewey Finn is a class traitor. The guy’s anti-social behavior led him to undermine working class musicians for private school child labor.

Big day for me today. I took first place in the Men’s 45+ Debaets-Devos crit race. Winning means I’m the Michigan state champ!! I raced smart and got in a breakaway with a person from the largest team. We held off the field, and I took it in the end!

Voting your conscience is bullshit. Voting should always be strategic.
History tells me that coalitions fail when they grow narrower and narrower, until at last they are very pure - and very ineffective. A perfectly pure, perfectly unified, perfectly tiny political party (think the libertarians), is, in the end, just a very opinionated book club - one that regularly loses elections, but with great moral satisfaction

Canvassing on the east side of Detroit today. People were NOT feeling Abdul El-Sayed. If you’re wondering how Stevens can win, go out and do some canvassing; I saw support for her today. If you want Abdul to win, it’s time to put in the work.

Maybe the other thing that some people will get through their THICK SKULLS is that most people who live & work in the US are WORKING CLASS. Teachers are WORKING CLASS. NURSES are WORKING CLASS. Social workers are WORKING CLASS. SO ARE STARBUCKS BARISTAS (who some seem to despise)....

The words you use to describe politics are themselves political. Framing Theory is the study of how language shapes perception. Not through lies, but through the implications embedded in words and structures. #medialiteracy #criticalthinking #rhetoric #journalism #linguistics

One Easter my parents put a cassingle of REM’s Stand in my Easter basket. I wore that tape out. In the Walkman non-stop. Every time I rode in the car. I couldn’t get enough. Then I took it on a flight. The tape fell out, and we deplaned. It was gone forever. My parents rejoiced. I was crushed.

Finally getting my road bike ready for the season, as the first nice day is here. Cleaned out the old sealant, added new sealant, lubed chain, charged batteries, updated shifter and derailleur firmware. On the other end of the spectrum is my track bike: pump the tires, and it’s ready to ride.

This makes so much sense. Strip Law has a firehose of jokes pace that I haven’t seen since 30 Rock. I’m certain that every time I’m sobbing laughing at one joke I’m missing two more. We’re on episode two already talking about rewatching.
