Oddly enough, Patagonia has a line of "Patagonia Provisions" organic crackers to take backpacking.

To be fair, when you work on the U.S.S. Enterprise, all your outside relationships are extremely long-distance.

(Unless you're Christopher Pike, in which case that pesky Kirk guy shows up just about every week.)

Now wait a minute, it won't be TOD without the T.

There are always person-in-the-street interviews with people that have this disorder, because it's "interesting." The media seeks them out and irresponsibly spins them as exemplars.

"This Bernie Sanders supporter went full raving MAGA, it's a growing trend and means something deeply profound!!!!"

Reagan Era nostalgia could backfire.

Mind you, the Reagan Era was objectively awful, but the nostalgia has been primped up with Republican hagiography for decades. The same people who now insist that Trump is sane and caring.

♦ On the upside, #fleetweek lacked a Maximum Leader in a flight suit with a stuffed crotch. Mission Accomplished?

Since they rely on fear, statistics showing crime going down must always be summarily dismissed. This "stats are wrong" talking point is decades old at this point.

There's always some percentage of unreported crime. This has not changed, but it's their wellspring of whuddaboutism.

I prefer my ICE crushed.

Perhaps Berkeley could use another round of "Yoo Sucks" graffiti, as a reminder.

I assume that something like that was behind him showing up immediately to host The Charlie Kirk Show.

Meanwhile, clinical trials for heart disease have been defunded, it's like the circle of ... well, not life.

This guy thinks crudités require a pound of broccoli, a tub of prepackaged guacamole, and tequila, but all that costs too much because of Joe Biden. Numbers aren't his thing.

RFK will offer him a 650% discount on baby bear roadkill.

If you only read one of this trio, make it Life After Cars by @brooklynspoke.bsky.social & @sgoodyear.bsky.social.

It’s the most accessible and informative, as well as the most practical.

Windows peaked at XP service pack 2. I still run across embedded versions of that in all the strangest places.

Bari Weiss, CBS News, And The Conservative Media Takeover The billionaire-backed overhaul of CBS News is the culmination of a decades-long master plan.

🎧LEVER TIME: Bari Weiss’s billionaire-backed takeover of CBS News is the culmination of a secret plot detailed in never-before-seen documents that we're publishing in our new book MASTER PLAN, which launches on 10/14.

We preview some of the documents here — you won’t believe what they wrote down👇

One wonders whether Ed could say "acetaminophen" or "hydroxychloroquine" without some sort of wordplay, or he'd just default to "Tylenol®" or "bleach" like another old crank did.

🪧 #TwitpicTuesday rescue this week is a poster of a Roller Derby competition between a San Francisco team and a Brooklyn team. I had just moved (back) to San Francisco from Brooklyn and definitely felt conflicted ... about a sport I didn't even follow.

And yet SFist has me on double secret probation, such that if I type "ass" in a comment, it is immediately held for moderation.

BART was unsullied by any known best practices when built, because everything in the Space Age was going to be handled by IBM mainframes (using punchcards).

Some best practices were retrofitted over the years, but there's not even a third track anywhere and thus no local/express service.

#WarOnCars ain't playin'.

A Brief History of Men are Becoming Less Manly

A few times in San Francisco, at the end of a performance, I've exited the venue to find that a bunch of people (using their phones while still seated) had hailed a flashmob of robotaxis. I happily bike away, or stroll off to a transit stop.

If the venue IS the transit stop, we've got big problems.
