I don't understand why the conservative crowd hates Juneteenth so much. Just think of it as another summer holiday. Invite your loved ones over, go to the beach, have a cookout, drink beer. There are literally no down sides.

I hate that my employer has office festivities for Juneteenth. I don't want a pizza party and free smoothies, I want the day off.

I did the Arlington 500 ride today, and it was an awesome experience. I also hit a century PR, less than 7 hours of elapsed time. #Bikesky

If the foundation of your personality is that you love bicycles and hate capitalism, then I think we can be great friends.

Bike fitting details are so interesting, and I often struggle to understand them. Some people will size up because they have long arms, and some people will size down because they have long arms, and some people will get a longer stem because they have a long inseam. I just smile and nod. #Bikesky

I know that I won't be able to do this any time soon, but I've been daydreaming all morning about a custom bikepacking bike build. #Bikesky

I went bowling yesterday and scored 150 in one of the games. I'm pretty proud of myself.

The managers and directors at my job will be like "don't hesitate to ping me if you ever need anything, anything at all," and then they'll never respond when I ping them.

The Cubs have played well the first 1.5 months of the season, but I refuse to declare them a good team until at least the All Star break. They're still so flawed.

The Pahalgam attack was obviously horrible, but India did not need to launch missiles into Pakistan today. They're just adding fuel to the fire, and armed conflict is bad for everyone.

I went for a run this morning, and it didn't suck. In fact, I kind of look forward to running again later this week. #Fitnesssky

I just finished Shadows of Self, which is the fifth book in Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn series. I've been buried in this series since February, and I'm enjoying it so much. #Booksky 🪐📚💙

I've never experienced a life situation in which I thought that AI would make it better. AI not only sucks, but it's inaccurate and dehumanizing.

My favorite tight end in this draft was Harold Fannin. His pass catching ability and feel for route running would've been really nice for the Bears, and I think they could've gotten him in the third round.

It's silly to justify the Colston Loveland pick because Cole Kmet won't be on this team forever. Cole is under contract through 2027, and literally no one will be on this team forever.

Colston Loveland is a Bear, and I will cheer for him. But I believe that Shemar Stewart, Mykel Williams, or Derrick Harmon would've been better options at 10.

The weather was nice yesterday, so I made a burrito stop and an ice cream stop during my ride home last night. And I'm proud of this picture I took. #Bikesky

If you watched the Bulls from a realistic point of view, then you knew that losing the play in or getting bounced in the first round of the playoffs was their ceiling.

Many people tell new cyclists "it never gets easier, you just go faster," and that statement is so false. As you get more fit, more comfortable on your bike, and potentially lose a few pounds, it absolutely does get easier. #Bikesky

The people comparing DK Metcalf and Donald Trump for their similar height and weight are so annoying, and they need to do some research on body composition. Also, don't hate Trump because he's fat. Hate him because he's an awful president and an even worse human.

I think it's believable that Donald Trump weighs 224 lbs. He's 78 years old, so his bones have decreased in density. Additionally, he's fat and doesn't carry any muscle, and fat is less dense than muscle. He's still overweight by conventional BMI standards.
