full custom titanium road bike and a fresh pair of white lake road shoes for every ride. actually make it two bikes so i always have a spare and never have to do my own maintenance again.
Peter@notalawyer.bsky.social · 3d agoquestion for the audience: if you were ultra rich (let’s say $25M), what completely frivolous thing are you buying?
wait april *2028*? i have to keep hearing about these things for another 18 months???
DiscussingFilm@discussingfilm.net · 4d agoSony is considering releasing all 4 ‘BEATLES’ biopics on the same day in April 2028. Another idea being considered is offering a 4-pack of tickets to encourage fans to buy tickets to all 4 films at once. (Source: www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...)
lol the league of pissed off voters isn't taking a position on prop G in their voter guide for just the dumbest possible reasons as you'd imagine. look at my progressives, dog.
watching UCLA v. oregon, a classic big 10 matchup, and my two observations thus far are (1) it is not surprising that the team basically owned by nike has the ugliest uniforms you've ever seen in your entire life and (2) UCLA's running back is named wayne knight
speaking as someone who’s been a big fan since her first album, very stoked to see margo cilker get the bandcamp AOTD treatment today. ‘walls’ is indeed a banger. https://daily.bandcamp.com/album-of-the-day/margo-cilker-little-white-cross-review?from=homepage&ui_context=album_of_the_day
Margo Cilker, “Little White Cross”
The folk artist's third record is strengthened by a focus on feeling and storytelling.

these AI guy posts are all bait but the idea of outsourcing your parenting to robots so you have more time to build AI apps shows the most darkly backwards priorities I've ever heard
well this game is proving I'm a real Valkyries fan now because I've been trying to crawl out of my skin this entire quarter
we do this every three months, for once I want to do least favorite cover. my vote is for the eagles version of 'ol' 55'
Sophia_Nyx 🐰@sophianyx.bsky.social · 2w agoname your fav cover song.
I have very faint memories of being freaked out by the stop motion interstitial ads on early MTV
Sleepy Hollow Reviews 🎃🐎@sleepingvillage.bsky.social · 2w agoIn honor of scary media month: what is the first piece of media you remember truly frightening you as a child?
not sure which i care about less: john roberts’s ability to vacation quietly without being criticized for his jurisprudence, or some mid-coast maine vanity island for rich new yorkers
Yonette Joseph@sugarcane99.bsky.social · 3w agoPublic anger comes for John Roberts The chief justice’s summer retreat in Maine used to be one of boating, potluck dinners, touch football and easy friendships. Locals called him “John.” Now a swirl of anger has been rising at him, transforming his getaways. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/u...
i have always said the united states of america is the greatest cycling nation on earth, if not in history

my brother had a commodore 64 I remember playing with (also apparently a TRS-80 but that predated me) but *my* first computer was an old IBM XT, quickly replaced by a PS/2
The old internet@theoldinternet.bsky.social · 4w agoWhat was your first computer growing up?
as a proud former high school marching band front ensemble member this is unbelievably humiliating
Sickos Committee@sickoscommittee.org · 4w agoA guy marching electric bass! (And the hero marching an amp!) You love to see it.
we are legit going to have give this dude the akhenaten treatment when he's gone
Dan Diamond@ddiamond.bsky.social · last mo.New: Federal officials acknowledge that Trump's planned 250-ft-tall arch will harm nearby historic sites, but say it must proceed. The “adverse effects cannot be fully avoided,” Park Service officials wrote in a document obtained by The Post.
they should've kept them this size, would've prevented a lot of problems

lol matthew schmitz is not only a princeton grad who lives in new york city, but one of the leading lights of the attempt to create a new right wing intellectualism around schismatic radical catholicism and culture war populism. i'm very interested in his thoughts on ella langley, obviously.
@NewsJennifer (Jennifer Schulze)@newsjennifer.bsky.social · last mo.I see the NYT is still platforming 'dei crushed white men' bullsh*t. Here it's buried in a 'why rural themed pop culture' is so popular in a piece written by a Princeton grad who lives in New York City. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/13/o...
"san francisco progressive environmentalists for turning a park back into a highway" gotta be my favorite nextdoor character
man who the hell knows, i'm sure this is recency bias but when i saw plains a few years ago they brought opener MJ lenderman on during the encore to do terry allen's 'amarillo highway' and i was pretty tickled
The Ken In Yellow@kenlowery.bsky.social · 5mo agoFavorite cover you saw live? Top of mind for me is FIDLAR *opening* their show with a ribcage-rattling cover of Beastie Boys's "Sabotage." Talk about One Weird Trick to make a crowd high-energy from the jump Recently: NIN covering "I'm Afraid of Americans"
the trade stuff is complete gibberish but we’ve known this for awhile, interesting thing to me is the part where he has “we” should have lower interest rates because america has better credit than switzerland?? like does he think the fed rate is america’s credit card rate or something
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2mo agoTrump says the US would “save” $90 billion by cutting off trade with Canada 🥴
i hate to pick on mike here because i agree with the rest of the thread and have given up my anti-helmets-all-the-time advocacy efforts, but these arguments irk me because (1) bike helmets do little-to-nothing to prevent concussions and (2) head injury anecdotal arguments are always overdetermined
mtsw@mtsw.bsky.social · 2mo agothe pro-helmet arguments are also strong — i've personally been in a scooter accident where i got a concussion and wouldn't have if i had been wearing a helmet! ask any ER doctor or nurse about bad cyclist injuries they've seen. helmets can save your life!
the first CD I *remember* was 'the traveling wilburys vol. 1' but that was my parents'. the first CD that was *mine* I think was this long out of print john lennon solo box set my uncle bought me for christmas in ~1991
The old internet@theoldinternet.bsky.social · 2mo ago44 years ago today, the first CD was produced. What is the first CD you owned?
watched a guy in a tesla wearing full over-ear headphones run a red light on my way to work this morning. drivers are getting worse.
the almost-2-year-old is really testing my "never refuse to read to her when she asks" principle. solid 45 minutes on the floor reading every single board book while she eats her bowl of chickpeas one pea at a time.
as someone who probably pays like $300 a month for various subscriptions and is beyond burned out on every writer i encounter starting a paywalled newsletter “for the just the cost of a cup of coffee a month” i do think advertising supported journalism was good but i’m not turning ublock off sorry
mtsw@mtsw.bsky.social · 2mo agoeveryone — consumers, publishers, writers — would wind up better off if web browser ad-blockers didn't exist and the rationalizations for using one are mostly clever justifications for what's just selfish behavior with obvious negative social consequences.
very funny that the leading fake-progressive NIMBY website mostly dedicated to destroying a park to make it slightly easier to commute from daly city to marin has just completely embraced wall to wall AI slop
