Colorful tomato for this week's #oliveartclub. Got a little impatient right at the end working with the white but overall pretty pleased with the blend of colors.
Drawing of a tomato. Sharpie pens, staedler liners, white gel pen

If you have never ridden a minivelo, now is the time to fix that. 500 miles later, I have no regrets about anything on this round town ripper!! #minivelo

My theory about changing literally nothing about my black pen cross hatch technique but using color pens seems to work! Loved the combo of the edges of the stripes with the smooth contour overall. Used some cheap yoobi liner markers and had issues with the yellow going dry on me. #oliveartclub

I got some white pens and this brown sketch book to use them and found this whole process very scary. In the end i am glad I stuck to the plan though! #oliveartclub

I was really hoping the city would have the grace to do this without the presence of all the weaponry and threat of high powered violence.

Thinking back to my time in the BWCA on Crooked lake during Spring of 2024 just about a mile just about a mile east of where the 700 acre beartrap fire is currently raging. Sure was soggy then, here's hoping it can be contained.

Gotta love some direct consumer feedback. It would have worked fine if the designers had made the mountains about a foot taller, but aesthetics came first I guess!

Got to ride a downhill bike for the first time this weekend. Pretty liberating to ride knowing there was absolutely no way I could get outside the capability of the bike and proud of my hard earned hardtail fundamentals being able to transfer over.

It does occur to me that one possible (unintentional) benefit of the NYT framing this as new is now that EVERYONE has a giant vehicle, people will feel less individually guilty or need to justify it. Maybe now we can show how the entire auto and petroleum and highest industry pushed us to this.

It's likely, as economic conditions worsen, that the fascists will portray this as a "knife in the back" betrayal by Trump because of Jewish control, which is already taking form if you pay attention. It might seem strange, but MAGA will likely give birth to a post-MAGA / anti-MAGA fascist movement.

My tried and true solution to scratching the itch to buy a new bike is to just switch up the handle bar set up. Turns out, the bike you have is probably just fine!

Like even if this all ends without an escalation from the present level of bloodshed Trump and his administration should be held accountable for the threat alone. Making this threat, on its own, is a crime against humanity.

After voting for a bunch of local non contested circuit court positions this morning, does anyone have any interesting data on how uncontested elections affect voter turnout in later races? If I'd never voted before and received a ballot for a bunch of non choices I'd probably feel pretty dumb.

I find myself quite exhausted by the laws/arguments around passing various slower road users. If you claim single file riding makes it easier to pass a group, you either have a small car or are not passing safely.
A drawing showing the typical 89 inch (plus mirrors) width of a new Pickup truck with color graded zones showing the 3' and 5' distances considered necessary for a safe pass of a person on a bike.Three drawings of a vehicle passing a group of 12 people on bikes:

A) shows the riders in single file, requiring 83' to pass

B) shows the riders in a bunched group, requiring 30' to pass

C) shows a similar sized tractor on the road

All three scenarios show the passing vehicle having to cross the centerline to some degree in order to safely pass.

There was a horrific vehicular murder in the Madison, WI area in the early morning today. On his way to crash into some cop cars, a pick up truck driver drove off the road and onto a separated bike path to intentionally murder a person riding their bike.

It’s almost like green energy is the only way forward and a handful of oil barons are doing everything in their power to keep that from happening so they can get even richer at the cost of literally everything else in the world.

A story I found about Haiti: In 1999, a group of Haitians were tired of political disorder and dreamed of a better life in the United States. So they built a small, 23-foot boat by hand using pine trees, scrap wood, and used nails. They called the boat "Believe in God."
Some photos of Haitians running in the streets. There's smoke in the background. It looks like political disorder. A Haitian man stands next to a wall with some barbed wire behind him. The original Magnum caption said the man felt Haiti was a prison and he dreamed of making it to the United States. He wanted to be a rapper. Some men take a break from building a boat. A boat sets sail far off into the distance.

So yes, of *course* Donald Trump, the most violence-inciting politician in the U.S. since the Civil War—who went from inciting Assaults in 2015 to inciting Seditious Conspiracy in 2020 to straight-up murdering people in international waters last week—has an interest in rewriting history now.

What we just saw major media do over the last week was the equivalent of a breathless minute-by-minute analysis of what happened between the moment Jim Jones ordered his flock to drink the Kool-Aid and the moment it did so. Just pointless earned media for a madman dead-set on destroying everything.
