Ha! Was just talking about the uselessness of the artsy bike racks a few days ago. I guess they compel bikers to live their art as we channel creativity into trying to use them for their intended purpose πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

There are some women athletes who have disappointing politics but FAR fewer than the men.

Between this and AI, we’re going to need a new accreditation that indicates which degrees are legit.

I have relatives who identify as independent. They have never voted Democrat in their lives, even after bemoaning the state of the Republican party. There’s a lot of deep identity psychology wrapped up in voting for some people.

My daughter’s school district asked for feedback on use of AI in the classroom. Told them the role of education is to warn students of the dangers of AI and how it makes you a pawn for the power elite. I don’t think I am alone in this opinion.

Family was looking up most famous people who went to our respective high schools. My high school: George Zimmerman. Which is about the vibe of the place, but still unfortunate.

Watching a friend post the craziest conspiracies, both sides-ing in overdrive, and I don’t know where to begin. I know it will end with both of us telling each other we are victims of psy-ops.

Saw a dented cybertruck getting ticketed today. Not everything happening is bad.

Yes!! The cool Gen X culture -and people-were the exception, not the norm. So many cruel people who were rewarded for being awful.

There’s a pizza place in Portland called Ranch which is dedicated to this duo and I regret to report that it’s delicious!

A yellow bag with the word CAVA written on it. Tom Homan is powerless in the face of the bag.

Dear lord the opinion page is a mess today. Some guy telling people not to protest, the usual stupidity about progressive city councilors, and more bad takes than the usual. I thought about writing a letter but didn’t know where to start!

Some of my relatives identify as independent/libertarian. I am positive they have never voted for a democrat in their life.
