Biked 1 mile to coffee. Then biked another mile to the pharmacy. Then biked 1 mile home. 95% on protected (separated) bike infra. More Americans deserve the freedom of a life like this (if they want it).

Laura rides a bike on a protected bikelane. She has coffee on her handlebar mount and a front milk crate vasket. There are 2 other people on bikes in the background.

"Great job by the referees. A couple iffy calls. They seem to favor the away team. But overall called very fairly and a very good job." These announcers, pretty much

In other words, NYT is increasingly becoming a gaming and recipe company, with revenue from that business helping subsidize the higher costs of their journalism (which has been weaponized in favor of trans genocide). They depend on liberals not caring enough to boycott them.

If you want to read “Why I Love the Vermont Green,” I’ve taken pictures of the little zine for you. Of course it’s nicer if you can hold it in your hands. But here’s the zine in full (1/2) #WILtVG

A green cover of a small minicomic called “Why I Love the Vermont Green” Zine text: “The Vermont Green, a USL-2 soccer team, plays pretty near my house. Partway through the 2025 season, I started going to the soccer games. It turned out that I really loved watching these games! I was instantly a fan! But I am really, seriously, not a sports guy. What was it that made me love the Vermont Green?” This text is accompanied by simple black-and-white drawings of men playing soccer. Arnaud Tattevin is recognizable. Zine text: “WAS IT JUST AN EXCUSE TO BE OUTDOORS IN THE GORGEOUS VERMONT SUMMER? WAS IT THE CLUB'S ENCOURAGEMENT FOR FANS TO SIT PICNIC-STILE ON A NEARBY HILL WHEN THE BLEACHER SEATS WERE SOLD OUT? WAS IT THE PLAYMAKER JULIEN LE BOURDOULOUS DARTING UPFIELD PAST DEFENDERS LIKE A HUMAN DRAGONFLY? WAS IT THE SUPERHUMAN REACH AND MASSIVE HANDS OF THE KEEPER NIKLAS HERCEG? WAS IT THE TIME BERNIE SANDERS SHOWED UP AT HALFTIME TO GIVE THE TEAM HIS BENISON?” Illustrations somewhat crudely show the things the text is talking about. Zine text: “Was it the club’s loud and proud commitment to environmental and social justice? “Was it Maxi Kissel scoring the national championship goal for the Green just months after doing the same thing for the UVM Catamounts? “Seriously, I’ve watched that goal so many times. It couldn’t have been cleaner or more elegant if there hadn’t been a single defender on the field.” More soccer drawings, including a diagram of the championship goal, with the clock at 90:15: a combination from Le Bourdoulous’s corner kick to a quick bit of fielding from Zach Zengue to a tap-in from Kissel. “The crowd erupts.”

Same as it ever was

Power plant pollution higher in neighborhoods subject to racist redlining

Elon Musk's xAI has installed more than double the number of gas turbines than it has publicly acknowledged to power its Colossus 2 data center project, without federal permits, and the pollution is hitting predominantly Black neighborhoods the hardest reut.rs/4bIghEm
