Thread of my 2026 reading. The goal is to read more books. I'm calmer when I read more!
I had this exact same thought.
And while I think we could find strong evidence that meek me is tougher than ICE guys, I always de-escalate situations with drivers.
Unlike cops, I don't escalate situations or turn mundane ones into total hellscapes.

As someone who has multiple dangerous interactions with a car every time I ride my bike I have zero patience for this bullshit from JD Vance and Kristi Noem about the agent feeling threatened by a car turning around. The average bike commuter has more courage than trigger-happy Jonathan Ross.

It's always fun when you walk somewhere and you're like this is going to be 25,000 steps and it's actually 3,000 steps. Lol.

It's so pathetic that this administration is encouraging people to support an industry that is terrible for the environment, cruel to workers, and catastrophic for animals.
We need to move away from animal agriculture, not toward it.

In a meeting with students a senior coworker starting to read from ChatGPT. The students cringed. I mentioned that we would need to use a verified peer reviewed paper and the students nodded.
I can only hope these students aren't an anomaly in their hesitation to use ChatGPT.

5 people have been killed by ICE since September.
None of those people had to die or should have died!

Driver shot in Minneapolis is the at least the fifth person killed in US immigration crackdown
And since the Trump administration launched its immigration crackdown last year, no federal agents have yet been charged in the deaths.

People love to hand-wring about bike lanes hindering emergency responders, but it's always cars -- parked or otherwise that cause issues.
The FDNY's response to a five alarm fire in the Bronx was delayed by drivers who parked their cars in front of three fire hydrants closest to the blaze. Two firefighters and one civilian were injured.

My experiment of only showering at night is over.
I feel half dead. I look half dead. I might be half dead.
Back to morning showers and a quick evening rinse.
Really clueless as to how people can live without a morning shower.

The entire goal for today is to get thru the workday and go home for a little weightlifting and rowing in the basement.

A delightful thread. So many people are doing fun and cool things.
u heard sharon, everyone post about their esoteric interests right fucking now. for the good of the community, we need to be hyperfixationmaxxing.
i think this site really needs to figure out how to grow the non-politics verticals (the baseball moment was a good thing!) because i suspect a lot of the bad clusters come out of the political clusters driving 95% of ENG-lang posts

Contemplating whether I should be worried that I forgot Craig Albernaz left Cleveland or am I putting too much pressure on myself to know MLB stuff in the off season?

The Baltimore Orioles lineup might have the best lineup in baseball. Whatever order Craig Albernaz chooses, he’s got Gunnar Henderson, Pete Alonso, Jordan Westburg, Taylor Ward, Adley Rutschman, Jackson Holliday, Sam Basallo, Dylan Beavers and Colton Cowser. A wrecking crew.
