Time change has plunged my morning commute back into darkness. Was tough to get moving today, but the weather was perfect for biking.

Dramatic skies this morning, hard to dress for a day with a 30 degree temperature swing but I’m looking forward to riding home in short sleeves.

πŸ˜‚ as soon as I convince the job to install a shower at the office.

The city has a curb protected lane they are rushing to finish on one of the 4 lane car bridges, it adds about a mile of loud traffic and exhaust fumes to the commute which I don’t love but I do appreciate them doing something

Facing the walnut street pedestrian bridge from the south end. The right side of the bridge is blocked by detour cones and there is an open chain link fence staged for when the full repairs begin.

Preparation for the walnut st pedestrian bridge renovation is in full swing. Trying to get in as many crossings as possible before it is shut for 18 months.

Lots of rain this week, river is way high. Definitely a careful ride in over the ridge with these wet conditions.

One of the things keeping me from unhelpful nihilistic despondency is seeing the sun rise on my way in to work each day. It’s a small thing but cold air in my lungs and sun on my face as I pedal across the pedestrian bridge brings a smile and some calm.

Today went from 20 to nearly 60 (f) so a somewhat late commute in was warmish with remnants of the freeze.

A few snow days later another happy bike into work day.

First bike to work of the new year today and it was a windy cold one! My layers were enough though and the views were great

Borrowed the ad from ChattBikeParty’s original post on instagram (don’t think they are over here yet), but if you like bikes and are in #chattanooga this weekend you should come through.

Journalists flock to Bluesky as X becomes increasingly 'toxic' Journalists are finding more readers and less hate on Bluesky than on the platform they used to know as Twitter.

Bluesky is winning because both twitter and threads have gone out of their way to make their platforms inhospitable to reputable journalists and news. @kattenbarge.bsky.social reports:

This thread articulates something that I’ve been trying to find a way to say for a long time, go build a constructive world is such a good way to encapsulate the idea that we don’t need reactionaries’ outrage bait.

I feel like there are probably some very niche contract and compliance processes that would make sense on a blockchain, but crypto being its main use case sort of poisons the well for any non-grifty applications.

Screencap of a transportation planning survey where both questions and available answers to select imply that more highways are coming and the input they want is whether new, less expensive, or congestion focused projects should be the priority.

Tennessee DOT recently sent out a survey for their long range plan, I think maybe a car wrote it?
