I did, in fact, do a 30 minute metal ride this morning followed by a Magic Mike live ride and it almost achieved this effect.
I need Peloton to have some anger based and then restorative rides right now.

What i think democrats should take from Texas is that they actually need to run people for every seat, every time, even when they don't think they've got a shot in hell

One of my toxic traits is that I have to have an upcoming vacation planned at all times that I can obsess about.

I have spent fifty years rolling my eyes at conspiracy theories where all the elite rich people are in a secret evil gang, and thrillers where everyone remotely important has the same Dark Secret, and now sodding look.

My new hobby is online shopping for clothes that I can't buy not for financial reasons, but because I know they'll arrive and feel like plastic garbage.

That feels like the difference between last Friday in the Twin Cities and this Friday nationally. Last week, union leaders and small businesses supported the strike, which made it feel like a real, effective thing.
insisting on calling every mass day of protest or one-day boycott a "general strike" is not the move. it's good to see people rallying around the cause, it matters, but if you want to be part of a large-scale labor action that shuts down the gears of capital, start by unionizing your workplace!!!

Q&A: The Minnesota Timberwolves chaplain who wants NBA stars to melt ICE without slipping
Matt Moberg's righteous fury with Donald Trump's immigration crackdown went viral. But he preaches empathy for the NBA stars figuring out how to stand for others without losing themselves.

some good news buried among the horrible behavior listed:
“The third woman said federal agents at her hotel are subsisting on microwavable bowls of Campbell’s chicken noodle soup, because it’s become so difficult for them to find restaurants willing to serve them.”

I visited hotels all over Minneapolis, went into back rooms & talked to the staff.
They're afraid.
One told me she resents how her undocumented coworkers spend their days cleaning the rooms of agents who are “hunting down their family members.”

Much love to the rural Minnesotans helping THEIR neighbors, too.
Bears repeating that while Minneapolis gets the most attention, it's exactly the same situation in St. Paul and very similar in many suburbs and smaller towns around the state (and, obviously, outside MN)

Rural Minnesota isn’t staying silent.
As ICE expands raids into small towns, neighbors, faith leaders, and students are stepping up to protect Somali communities and each other.

Had a surreal moment this morning when my three year old was watching Peppa Pig on Nick Jr. and they had a commercial for Nickelodeon Universe featuring Nur-D and last week I saw a video of him being brutalized by ICE screaming “You’re going to have to kill me.”

ICE is upset that ICE isn't welcome in restaurants after ICE ordered food at a restaurant, ate it, then arrested restaurant employees, and ICE believes this is someone else's fault, do I have that right?

Text messages from candidates aren't particularly effective because they feel like spam, but I imagine that group chats with other people in the neighborhood formed to discuss ICE are significantly more effective at getting out the vote.
LOL. Despite this being a Harris+71 seat, Democrat Meg Luger-Nikolai won tonight by a *91-point* margin. Easily one of the wildest overperformances we’ve ever seen, given the district’s deep, deep blue lean.
Couple of special elections in very blue districts in the Twin Cities area tonight, though only one is contested. It's a +71 Harris seat, so hard for Democrats to overperform when the margins are already so lopsided, but we'll see.

I think it's interesting that countries that also have a lot of anti-immigrant sentiments are now upset about ICE. I wonder if it will change their trajectory or if it will be seen as a uniquely American phenomenon.

I agree with this. I still post because I'm addicted to posting, but social media is dead.
I have been of the opinion for about five years now that we are all mostly clinging to the *idea* of social media. But that it has not existed, as we mean it, since Jack sold Twitter. The minute capital lined up to fold social media into its technocratic political consolidation, it stopped existing.
