And we will have our own maps, so we can rename large bodies of water. We will be the only country on earth using these maps. It will confuse everyone, but we’ll have Freedom.
Excited to see a new teaser from Cockpit Casual / @stevenomadic.bsky.social on YouTube this morning. New episodes coming soon. #BitOfJoy

You’re not winning with changes in mask rules.
You’re not winning with body cams.
You’re not winning with enhanced training.
Every democrat will be hounded to the ends of the earth if there is support for ICE / DHS in any way.
Voting to fund DHS is voting to fund murder.
We will not forget.

ICE investigators were supposed to investigate the killing of Alex Pretti.
Instead, they investigated Alex. Not his killers.
With FBI now leading this probe, I’m calling on Kristi Noem and Kash Patel:
Remove all ICE agents from this investigation completely.

A few weeks ago, I mentioned that #PinkFloyd's "The Wall" was a regular student selection during our weekend stage crew work, back in high school. #LesMiserables was similarly an every-week faculty selection, and it became something I loved, and still do.

Dear ICE/DHS/CBP you have no idea what level of compassion and love for our neighbors you have opened up in Minnesota!
3,000+ cyclists in 20° weather biked seven miles for a man we loved, a city we love, and ALL of our neighbors that we love.
Whose Streets?
Our Streets!

Today at 1:15! The roads are a mess but we're still riding. We'll be rolling extra cautiously and will have marshals to help us get through intersections
Details for the memorial ride for Alex Pretti in Chicago this weekend.
- Meet at 1:15pm, Roll at 1:30pm
- John Walsh Park (E end of The 606)
- Route to come, we will roll @ party pace (casual, no drop) toward the VA on Damen where a memorial is set up for Alex.
See you Saturday.

Winter cyclists … is this a terrible fender to have for riding in the snow? Is there too much risk of clogging and freezing with this? Would I be better served removing it? Or will this be okay for city street riding, basically for one ride?

There can be some gatekeeping in the cycling community so just remember that when it comes to biking there are only two rules: Wear what you want. Ride what you want and don't let anyone tell you differently

Hmm, firing McDermott and then just elevating Brady feels a lot like if they fired Bovino and just replaced him with Homan; that’s not a good enough change!
Oh, wait, that’s exactly what those guys did too.
Not a good couple days for enacting actual change within an organization.

This little project is supposed to be my way of finding joy in the world, and spreading that joy to my tens of followers.
There is no joy after this weekend, and these past few weeks. What's happening in Minneapolis and around the country; there is no joy.
Hopefully next week.

Looking at the Bills’ roster vs the Giants’ roster; think Harbaugh’s wishing he had waited a few extra days?
Or maybe he’s excited for the challenge of building something, which I totally respect.
