How about sending Maxwell to Alligator Alcatraz unless she tells all instead? Or maybe Guantanamo? She's a terrorist of children.

How is there even a debate about this. It's unequivocal.

I covered the whole London Olympics on an undiagnosed fractured fibula. Ouch. I can't imagine running on it and that wasn't a weight-bearing bone. The UCI wouldn't care.

You don't have to be faster than the bear, just faster than at least one other dude.

I get most of my spam on Voice which I don't forward. I have to delete a lot of emails but select all unread-delete works!

People thought I was crazy for using a google voice number for every online transaction back in the 2010s. Except for a few months when TFA didn't work with Voice it's been a great way to keep my phone quiet.

I had a host cancel less than 24h before checkin.

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders?

Pro cycling had a rider crash and suffer a slow and painful death because no one saw her but they're still not using readily available tracking technology.

I mean, that'd be nice, to believe the military is on our side, but it's t.b.d.

Just FYI, I have this from an actual military person - the US military doesn't march in lock step specifically because it looks fascist, it is noisy and alerts everyone you're coming and you can break bridges with it (proven by Mythbusters). So don't believe the Army was doing a silent protest.

Fuck. Well, earth and human kind has been really nice y'all. Enjoy the afterlife.

The Billionaire Hoarders: How the Wealthy Became Our Biggest Threat How a sick obsession is killing workers, democracy, and our planet.

In the 42 years since the start of the Reagan revolution, bought-off politicians have so altered our tax code that fully $51 trillion has moved from the homes and savings of working-class Americans into the money bins of the morbidly rich money hoarders.

Thank you Richard Carapaz for reigniting my love for pro cycling.

They won a favor from the UCI getting grand tour invites.

Odd, because by adding the 2023, 2024 and 2025 points totals on the UCI rankings page, Astana are still 70.49 points behind Picnic-PostNl. Perhaps the TTTs are messing with your totals - those points vary by # of riders and exclude DNFs

Kind of hoping the water was warm enough for Naegleria fowlerii- of course RFK Jr doesn’t have much brain matter left for them to munch on.

You’re not factoring in penalties which shuffle those slightly. I have a way to get those.

Demi Vollering's post-stage interview dedicating her win to people who struggle with mental health is your daily reminder that it is OK to not be OK.

FACT ~ The experiences of trans women & girls demonstrates a deeper level of discrimination and oppression comparable to the experiences of c1s women generally in sport, prisons and society.

Jill Sobule: Groundbreaking musician dies in Minneapolis house fire Her song I Kissed a Girl is widely considered the first openly gay themed song to crack the Billboard Top 20.

I just saw her open for The Fixx a few weeks ago - I was skeptical at first because the theme was cringey middle school stuff but she really won me over. Glad I was able to experience her art and sad she had to go this way.
