Pedal Dad

This is the way.

I got an old iPod and modded it cause I found all my old music and it has been absolutely wonderful for my mental state at the start of the day. Hard to be mad about the train being late when you've got "Absinthe party at the fly honey warehouse" going

A framing that is underutilized: The BosWash corridor has an annual GDP of up to $5 Trillion USD, which is makes it the most economically productive region in the world and about 20% of US GDP.

There’s this weird thing where we can clearly see the powerful tool for pro-accountability actions and pro-social engagement (with other ac human persons) that a smart phone can be and also these damned things are sucking the life out of us and we gotta quit it.

If you need an expensive hobby that gives you the juice

...gentlemen, let me introduce you to the world of road cycling.

You want to be 0.00025% lighter and therefore faster? Brother, that will be five thousand dollars for bearings.

You can even go to the track but you ride instead of bet.

I got a long coat with a double zipper from Duluth Trading and it works great on the bike. Plus having big coat energy makes me feel like I'm in a 90s thriller.

Signal failure yesterday. CSX can’t park their freight trains today. Elevators that never work.

The worcester line is really going through it this week.

What if the thing that unifies the country is when American Football plays the halftime show for the American football superbowl?

MASSIVE delays on the Worcester line today. Some cancellations, lots of 30min+ delays. plan accordingly folks

If they fight, my money is on Astley.

It amazes me how many solved problems are now made to be intractable because someone can sell you something.

Just use "I'm trying to understand Bad Bunny songs" as motivation to learn a second language. I guarantee you there's a community college nearby with a human spanish prof who just wants to teach you how to conjugate tener properly.

The word of the day is Wepa

Filterworld. By Kyle Chayka.

I’m reading Filtereorld and every chapter is like a conversation i had with @mattbernico.bsky.social over a cake shake a lifetime ago (but in a good way)

Which is to say, what for some seems like empty semantics might actually function as a vetting process about trusting people who might not have your best interests in mind and or might be the worst people in the world

While I think that the notion of purity tests is in need of some serious nuance, I think one genuine good of a purity test is as a bulwark against getting involved with shady characters waving lots of money your way that end up compromising what you're trying to do.

This is old but I am still feeling this way up to this day.

make the cops shovel.

Look, I like it when my book of common prayer is screamed at me over a bed of fugazi-inspired post-hardcore guitars

There's some good research backing this up regarding teaching and use of multi-media sources (i.e. music with lyrics vs. instrumentals)--Mayer's work specifically is the standard in instructional design/study fields.

That giant head and the action news theme are eternal

Sometimes you have to laugh to keep from just staring into the distance for hours on end.
