fly like a butterfly, ee like a bee

I got a Blackstone 22" with a stand that I keep on a balcony (and to take camping) it's incredible. Perfect ventilation because it's outdoors, I'm out there dual weidling spatulas flipping and tossing all kinds of stuff, making toddler size pancakes and shouting "order up!" when they're done.

I never thought it would go down like this, with the media the biggest cheerleader for these inane acts of lawlessness when they could be ginning up stories on a genuine scandal every day. More interesting stories!

It is not true to describe a legally unenforceable piece of paper a "directive" that is "mandating" anyone to do anything. Trump cannot "require" universities to do anything. Anything! Stop printing lies in the newspaper!

I print stuff at work for my partner, who's a fed, because we don't want to abuse the rules for using govt computers and stuff for personal things. We wait in TSA lines like everyone else. Meanwhile the VP is treating federal dam infrastructure like his personal little water table.

This and the Bove confirmation are the two transgressions (so far!) that disproportionately bother me. Not the worst (that's probably the gestapo kidnappings and torture in foreign jails without due process) but smaller things that really push me towards doom and gloom.

There's no legal basis for "delaying" or postponing banning it. The law is quite clear. Every day they continue to operate in the US is breaking the law (Google and Apple also bear some risk for distributing it). Trump admins does not care and anyone that does care can't do anything about it.

It's Sour Patch *for* kids. They don't make Sour Patch - Adults Only anymore. Like a Four Loko situation.

Someone at a kid birthday asked me what was my zingermans order after we made the mutual Michigan connection and I drew a blank because I've honestly been there like 2x ever. Classic corned beef on rye I guess but idk what they call it?

My son? Yeah he's getting into surfing. I just hope he doesn't take it too far and become some kind of

They're doing absolutely nothing to beat the "acolytes of a malevolent death god" allegations. What does one do with that?

Futilely red, mad, and nude again that there is simply no constituency this. For "joining the war on cancer on the side of cancer" and that's one of the most concrete and long lasting policy outcomes that Trump 2 is achieving. Trump just put RFK in charge because he saw him on TV.

Pestilence for the pestilence god

Why is the framing "FBI is asked" (by some off screen spirit?) when the substantiated story is that US Senator John Cornyn, who swore an oath to uphold the Constitution, demanded the FBI do something illegal to harm political enemies and that in normal politics it would be a career ending scandal?

Almost feels like the opposite is true. If more people are able to live near the greenway, more people will ride on it, which by itself makes it safer for cyclists.

<Wooderson voice> be a lot cooler if they did

Lol what why

A Mercedes coup, for the record

Glad you got to where you were going negative 60 seconds faster than me, I hope that everyday of the rest of your driving life is like that!

This car close passed me riding *with my kid* on a cargo bike only to immediately stop in the obvious traffic leading up to stoplight ahead of us. I ended up repassing them and 30 other cars on the shoulder. Thanks for passing with 10 inches of clearance for absolutely no reason. Still mad about it.

Honestly could use a industrial kitchen grade air vent over the bed to neutralize the night farts

Oh you're tatted, you say? Tatted! What a rascal! What a rarity!

My dad spent 50+ years not fully convinced "Vermont" was real. He'd had multiple trips there canceled, yet visited every other new England state. Few years ago he stayed at a B&B in Bennington, said it was nice.

That's when I knew the Man had gotten to him.

Partner is still mad at me about the time I dangled on my 18 month old and he faceplanted and scraped his nose

Hell yeah

I trained deliberately to do more pullups for three months one winter, I went from like 10 to ~12 pullups. It's super hard.
