Me: “oh hey it’s nice out, let’s take the cat for a walk”
suddenly:
*many sirens*
*800 coyotes on open space two blocks away start yipping*
*every dog in a 2km radius starts barking and howling*
*cat is now under the bed*

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

Reposting this halfway through the most chaotic Vuelta in the history of a race famed for chaos because oh my giddy aunt 2025 has been the year of pro cycling wtfery that just keeps on giving
the number of times I’ve said “I did NOT have [___] on my bingo card” in reference to pro cycling this year has been off the charts.
and it’s only the first week of June

for anyone who cares: I can confirm that SRAM E1 brakes function far better in shitty conditions than the Red22 / prior generation and also don’t howl constantly when wet. Theyll make a bit of noise at first in the rain but tbf all bicycle discs do regardless of platform / type.

guys I am worried about this final km for Vuelta Stage 3 I am not gonna lie… doesn’t really get steep either (5% ish) so those guys will be flying. last corner is at 100m, and that uturn at 650m gives me the heebie-jeebies. streets are narrow.

today’s adventures in the wildlands-urban interface: a wild turkey decided to take up residence in our next door neighbor’s yard. this was just before sunset and it’s now roosting on their garage roof.

One way I've changed over the years is accepting however folks ride bikes. I don't care what you wear when you ride. I don't care if you slam your stem. I don't care if you use a mirror. I don't care about caps vs hats. I don't care if you ride an e-bike.
As long as you're not a jerk, I don't care.

Got some MAAP kit on sale and have to say that the women’s bibs are insanely comfortable and the aprons are the best design I’ve worn probably ever
the long sleeve summer mesh jersey in Jayco violet without team logos is also extremely good.
hate how expensive the stuff is generally but imo worth

there was literally zero rationale for JV to attack today. Patience and resilience is Jonas’ superpower. he was so serene in today’s interview that if I were UAE I would be very concerned.
