DOGE finding a new target.

On the weekends, we'll occasionally just hurkle-durkle if we don't have morning plans (or there are no Premiere League matches 😁) Today I have one meeting at 3pm. That's it. It's like I'm fired but nobody told me. I'll chill and maybe do some PoC coding. New term. "Workle-Durkling" #cybersecurity

So MAGA is going after hair now. Remember when Iraqi men in power sported the Saddam-stache? When will MAGA men start wearing the Trump Toupee? I may have to start asking them.

The CROWN Act, a law that would prohibit the denial of professional and or educational opportunities based on hair text and protective styles, was introduced in 2020 and passed in the Pa. House on March 17, 2025:

1/4 The first time we fought a king, the Contenental Army used a mix of conventional and unconventional tactics to fight the British. This king is no different. We can't win with traditional political warfare by fighting head on. 1. Economic boycotts work

M55+ T2D MJ12.5 I'm one of the unlucky who hasn't dropped much weight. I'm down maybe 10lbs, but that only came after brute-forcing my metabolism with bicycling, with 19 days and 612mi ridden last September alone.

Riding day off so I tried rewaxing my chain. There are two quick link pairs somewhere in the yard. Chain coupler is borked. Sacrificed a hanger to wax and hold the chain while trying to reconnect. At least 8 tries to remount the chain. Waxing is great they say😡. My day is DOGE'd. #bikesky

Had every intention on a McKeesport round trip today. My wife said "no plans" at 3pm. That changed on the trail, so I detoured to Golden Age Brewing to hold down a table and wait for the squad. It's gorgeous out. 75°, beer, food, and friends in March. 🙂 #Bikesky

Got my ass kicked on today's ride. High winds required me to push hard through the entire ride. My legs and lungs were spent by the end and I had to walk two of the last three climbs. 😔 #bikesky

First outdoor ride of 2025. Good lord I am out of shape. 15mi total, two stops at REI for front derailleur adjustment, and I barfed twice after climbs. On a positive note, I did all the climbs and didn't walk at all. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger though, or so I'm told. #Bikesky

Increased the Mounjaro from 10mg to 12.5mg this week. If Mounjaro had a TV show, it'd be either Mounjaro Scared Straight: Food Edition or Mounjaro Scared Straight: Fart Edition I'm just waiting for the upcoming GI Jailbreak.
