Good grief. Journalism is on life support these days, I get it, but how about proofreading a headline so it doesn’t mean the exact opposite of what is actually happening?

Defund these specific cops.

Good morning to all the big-brained people trying to manage their public image on a doomed social media platform that nobody reads.

there are so many thoroughly antisocial behaviors that would shock and disturb you coming from any other human being but are completely standard for cops

I have a new exclamation

The Footloose sequel we’ve needed for so long

Rain cut my mtb ride short so I really didn’t earn this meal. But, like, I couldn’t *not* get it . . .

If the American right wing stands in support of the J6ers who tried to violently overthrow the government, the least the American left can do is stand in support of people demonstrating for liberation and compassion. It’s disgusting seeing dems wag their fingers at the LA protestors.

Got caught in a surprise thunderstorm on the trail and was amazed as always by how much a little water can make roots and flat rocks one million times more slippery. Bit it a couple times as I made my way back to the trailhead. #bike #mtb #singletrack

Good morning to the financial market bros getting ready to “shrug off” the news.

Trump v. Musk (2025)

I hope those Nazis they imported from South Africa haven’t unpacked yet.

You can tell Elon and Trump are holding back because they haven’t started talking about each other’s hair-related surgical procedures yet.
