It’s kind of convenient that I don’t have to tell people how to spell my last name anymore

Don’t forget the scene where he would make the AI data center go up in smoke after asking it to answer an unanswerable question.

people bitch about woke media but if TOS was on today they would go to a thinly-veiled MAGA planet where the locals worshipped guns and then kirk would hit the orange dictator with a two-fisted karate chop before giving a lecture about how science is real and violence is bad

FWIW I still love the Olentangy Schwebebahn idea.

A half-baked prosecution

A clip of the Guardian UK front page. The headline is "Prince Andrew to be stripped of titles and forced to leave Windsor home). The photograph is the now Andrew Mountbatten Windsor standing next to the King. Charles is pointing sternly at something to the left out of frame, and in the clip he is pointing to the sub headline stories, like "Timeline: the fall of Prince Andrew."

Very good photo editing in the Guardian (the photograph is by Toby Melville for Reuters)

Anti-Gerrymandering Groups Warn That Ohio’s Ballot Language Is Misleading Voters  - Bolts If “yes” on Issue 1 wins, it'd create an independent redistricting process. But some voters are saying the GOP-crafted ballot summary tricked them into opposing a reform they support.

(Why Dems took deal, part 2: If they were to lose the veto referendum, the 13-2 map would be in 2028.)

I'll let others debate what Dems should do or should have done here, but where fair maps really lost was when the GOP put confusing language on the ballot last year: boltsmag.org/ohio-issue-1...

and the British paratrooper folders from WW2

Always wondered what was up with that house

A black Cadillac hearse with a sign that says “Epstein” behind the B-pillar parked outside of Congregation Beth Tikvah. The Epstein chapel is a big funeral home in the Jewish community in central Ohio. No relation as far as I know to me or to that other Epstein.

Always fun to see a hearse with my name on it parked outside my kid’s school.

if you have some kind of real connection to that period of history, if it wasn't just a complete abstraction, there's just no way to countenance the faintest "fascination" with it

like so many other problems today, this phenomenon is born out out of abstraction, and disconnection from the reality

I don’t have this problem with the Ortlieb roll-up panniers I use, but I do wish the UA luggage rack were a little longer and had dedicated pannier bars, so a rider could put on panniers on the side and something MK on top. I wear EU 45 shoes.

“It’s not clear what caused the crash”

A huge issue with coverage of e-bikes is that journalists are taking their cues from police and local politicians, two groups that are fueling the negativity over e-bikes. There are legitimate concerns, but the coverage is so unbalanced.

May you be posted in the thread of life

A first for me: I took my bike to go buy a suit.

The morning of the long razors

ICE Nazis in Chicago tried to kidnap a food delivery worker but my man was too fast for those slow bastards

I think this is the one with coked-out rats. Amazing books.

I just saw yet another serious accident on my corner. The city has done NOTHING in the ten years i've lived here to slow down the fucking dangerous traffic.

This should be a must-read for any journalist covering transportation issues or any politician considering e-bike regulations

The author and illustrator is Byron Barton. Great books for 2-3 year old kids.

I have a 500 Bosch battery that came with my Urban Arrow and a 400 that came with my Tern. I switched them. I use the 400 with the UA and charge off the bike every few days. I use the 500 on the Tern and charge off the bike every few weeks.

Do you have an opinion about the Simon Vance vs Patrick Tull narration debate?

Very cool bike and an amazing kitchen

This is amazing

Cool Urban Arrow trike on the right.
