This hallway at the bank down the street is pretty much how I remember the 1980s looking.

A drab office hallway with brick walls, a large commercial floor mat, brick floor tile, and a hard lid ceiling. It's poorly lit.

I took a quick spin around Columbia Park after work, a little faster than last time, but in personal news I found my saddle bag that I was certain had been destroyed. #bikesky

I've always been impressed with the horseshoe infrastructure in the metro. I have no idea how often they're used, but these things are everywhere. #bikesky

I rode my bike to a friend's house, in the rain, both of which for the first time in years. Riding home after dark, and for a few moments it felt like the ride home from work in 2009, arguably probably one of the highlights of that year for me. #bikesky

Despite finding my rear tire flat, I found a spare tube in my tool box and got a short ride in before dinner. #bikesky

But if those words cost me the stage, while turning the conversation back to Palestine, then it was the most successful tour I've ever been on.

Classic Frey governance. Only his top cheerleaders despite touting “multiple perspectives,“ zero representation from the 44% who didn’t vote for him, even tho they are policed as much if not more heavily. Zero-sum is how he wins, but why his governance falters. www.minneapolismn.gov/news/2026/se...

Bought some clearance sale frame bags. I'm out of shape and slow, and I remember the tires felt slow compared to others when I put them on the bike. I'm definitely not moving that fast, but the panniers always made the bike feel sluggish, and I don't need them as often these days. #bikesky

Man being an "AI Safety" person seems like a great con if you can get in on it. Getting paid to write posts with a fucking flashlight under your chin saying "ooh computers could be scary in the future maybe possibly"

This implies Hollywood studios want to work with this AI. They don't. Actors hate this, agencies have said they won't sign Tilly, award shows denied AI being nominated, and the only movie Tilly will be appearing in is one manufactured by the developers. Stop trying to make Tilly Norwood happen.

Ran errands to Harbor Freight and mailed a letter. On the way home, I rode through a park I probably haven't set foot in for over fifteen years. #bikesky

Went out for an early morning Labor Day ride. The saddle bag I previously used was destroyed by mice when I left a granola bar inside and the model is now discontinued. Luckily, my also-discontinued Timbuk2 seat bag seems almost new after a wash. #bikesky

The reason we spend so much money being awful to unhoused people is the system needs a visible reminder of what landlords and bosses are threatening you with.

"We should think about getting to the Fair when it opens, it won't be as crowded-" the words barely escape my lips before I notice what is surely my father's voice replacing my own.
