Pitching a script for Final Destination 73. It’s just Jesus realizing that his reincarnation caused more problems than it solved.

Beginning to suspect that rebuilding my cardio base post-Covid + new, 2x weekly strength training + resuming regular weekly 20ish mile Monday ride (on the same day as lifting) + my regular running + Everything That’s Happening = maybe overdoing it a bit, per rapidly-aging meatsack.

I think it’s nice that we’ve come back around to the appropriate use of the Gadsden flag. So we got that going for us.

I have a sinus infection. We have run out of tissues, and the toilet paper cannot hang, so I am blowing my nose into Viva paper towels. This must be what royalty feels like. I hadn’t imagined there would be so much nostril chafing.

Sore throat? Tea with honey! Finished jar of honey? NEW OVERFILLED JAR OF MEADOWFOAM HONEY! Pour directly from jar into mug? Efficient! Oh no. Oh no. OhnononononowaitwaitstopnotoomuchTOOMUCH. Mmm. Viscous.

I wish that Americans who’ve never committed a crime could all crawl out of their little cocoon and understand that you needn’t be a criminal to be shipped off to the Bukele/Trump labor camp. Abrego Garcia was literally a clerical error. You could just as easily be a clerical error.

There are some matters of wrongheadedness that I will never let go of until the incorrect party fully accepts their wrongness. The supposed superiority of the speciman that is Stephen Miller is one of these. He is the worst possible example of literally everything.

I need someone to explain the inclination to cosplay WWII rationing, scarcity, etc. Because we absolutely did not have to do this to ourselves. I need someone who apparently *wants* this to explain it to me. Like I’m 6. Please.

Literally the only situation in which the words “Josh Hawley’s Manhood” could appear together, in that order, and interest me is a IBCK podcast.

I never want to be the person shouting like a dork about BiG pHaRmA but honestly these blood pressure recommendations are getting sus. “Level 1 hypertension” for a 109/81 reading? How is anyone supposed to have diastolic pressure lower than 6,000,000 right now, anyway?

My Garmin: You are unproductive. You have a high aerobic shortage. Me: *does hiit run* My Garmin: Well now you’re strained.

This is such small potatoes compared to literally everything, but I ordered a new MINI (to take over for my 22 year old MINI). Now I’m playing 37 dimensional chess with how to proceed in light of pending import auto tariffs. Remember when you could buy a car every 2 decades without overmuch peril?

In the unenviable position of not particularly liking an indie book series I just started, but also having to pay for the remaining books because the library doesn’t have it and I need to know what happens.

While it was by no means difficult (as it was never even a consideration), I am pleased to have recently and specifically NOT purchased a Tesla to assume daily driving duties from my 22 year old R53 MINI. So stick me in the van with the “illegal and collusive” boycotters, I guess.

So like, did I enter a fugue state or was there a sponsorship shoutout for a bank-I-shall-not-mention in Jess’ 3/12 90s Rock ride #peloton? Erm?

The only thing worse than DST is people complaining about the people complaining about DST. I thought we were united on this one thing?! But no. Morning people and stoics: out here ruining everything. Signed, unapologetic tertiary complainer.

From 9mi workouts and half marathons, to today’s 3mi struggle fest: I am once again being humbled by my post-Covid situation.

Hey can you dedicate OMD - Enola Gay to Pete Hegseth? Asking for me. @sluggodoug.bsky.social

@markwarner.bsky.social If y’all let Danger Yam dismantle the Department of Education by EO, you will own the inevitable student loan strike. At some point you’re going to have to make peace with the fact that you’re all vertebrates and start acting like you want to keep your jobs.

I have people who know I’m an animal lover and take that as an invitation to send me stories about critters in awful situations. If you are a person with an animal love in your life I am BEGGING you not to do that unless you know (because they’ve said) they are actively looking to help. Right now.

Wandering my neighborhood yesterday and came across a house flying a Reagan / Bush ‘84 flag. I have questions. Is this a grumpy GOP regret banner? Or a weird Dem appeasement pennant?

Currently dealing with Schroedinger’s Penzey’s order, as I ordered a spice cabinet re-stash two weeks ago but also have zero evidence that I did that.
