Bluesky isn’t big on sports, but this event is worth knowing about.

100 miles, 60000 ft elevation gain, 60 hours. Only 20 people have finished in the 40 years this race has been run.

Starting gun is Lazarus Lake lighting a cigarette.

I really don’t want to like her.

And here I am, once again impressed with AOC’s ability to express a clear and concise argument of why she takes her position.

She deserves, and we need her in a more prominent role.
AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

The one I rode in was primitive, but an absolute beast in Siberian terrain.
Russia’s largest truck maker KamAZ reported a sharp downturn in 2025: net losses surged 11-fold to $400+ million, sales turned deeply unprofitable, revenue slipped slightly, and interest costs jumped, hitting overall financial performance.

On the lighter side of things…

A while ago, you posted about Landman. My wife and I are about to finish season 1.

I can’t stop laughing. Plot and dialog are so far over the top, it’s comedy. Jerry Jones telling how much billionaires love their family was truly special.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

It is shocking that this word trickery is made public.

Reading comprehension is key. A skill, or rather lack thereof, the authors clearly understand all too well.

Real things can be satire.

“Thank you sir, may I have another?”
It’s real, folks!
A new group is advertising a "March for Billionaires" in San Francisco next weekend, starting in wealthy Pac Heights.

The group says a planned California billionaire tax would hit "value creators" who are "building, not taking."

Is it satire?

Great question. All it would take is roughly 200 people to develop a backbone.
He steals a Peace Prize with his left hand, while threatening his country’s citizens with an Insurrection Act and the military with his right. That Americans allow this insane motherfucking dictator to run their country in beyond belief

I get the anti-American sentiment. No issue there.

On the flip side, are people convinced buying Chinese is really the better option? The politics not really any better.

Why not Japanese, Korean, or European?
