First they came for your due process rights, and you said nothing for you had not committed a crime.

Then they came for your right to privacy, and you said nothing for you had nothing to hide.

Then they came for your free speech rights, and you said nothing.

Here’s my progression of the Eclipse last night. I’m not happy with the two of the full Eclipse. Not sharp/in focus enough for me. Rookie mistake I should’ve made. I know better. Oh well such is life. Also my setup for the photos.

"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

An American flag built on the backs of Black people...

Black music protesting white political terror in registers they never hear; reminiscent of ancestral spirituals embedded with instructions for runaways

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

It is very easy to call your representatives’ offices. They have to log your calls and the call numbers are meaningful. You don’t even have to try to convince anyone; just call and tell them your concerns. They are there to represent you. Let them know what that means. www.usa.gov/elected-offi...

Well today I went on a Banded Ride lead by a member of our Club (Phoenix Rising) on a trip on the Lutscher Route in Innsbruck. Oh man what a brutal climb! Even though to was banded I couldn’t help but push!! I only made it to the top of climb and back down. That was it!!

remember, the blitzkrieg is intended to make you feel like there is nothing you can do about it; that’s the only reason to go forward in this haphazard and sloppy manner all in the first week

and the choice of that strategy tells you they are afraid you *will* do something about it

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH**

Egg prices are soaring again. Here’s why and what to expect
Bird flu has killed millions of hens in recent weeks, shrinking the supply of eggs and hiking up prices at grocery stores.

I thought this course was absolutely brutal. I did the second short course for Tour de Zwift today. I did push the whole way. But 47min. Isn’t too bad for a 73+ old man! 🤣😂 @gozwift.bsky.social , @zwiftrides.bsky.social
