I hate the over– and misuse of “unpopular opinion” but I might have one: social media can be used for just broadcasting, and is probably best used that way. “Conversation” and “engagement” was pushed by the owners so we stay on their apps for their profit. Byeee!

I know that at the end of the day, Patagonia (outdoor apparel) is still a corporation, not 100% green (it’s in the book) but I think they’re real in not selling you something you don’t need, and also big on mending their products for you to keep using. I think bike brands should be the same.

I think that for 2026 we show more grace to others and their foibles except to those who text “hi” and wait for you to reply before sending the rest of their message.
