It's my sincere view policy flows from electeds (who are selected by voters), & bureaucrats are only an extension of implementation, though theres often actors who affect, espec @ the exec lvl. Which is that I think it's reductive to play cover for electeds+their desired policies, stated or unstated

it would be so awesome to have good data on trip origins and destinations that weren't just work and weren't just driving

there was a brief lapse of my life during which i was a paragon of patience and calmness but that is not this moment. currently in another frenetic and irritable chapter of my existence

other guy who bikes to the office loves to take my bike rack and is my sworn enemy. actually makes me mad

Monday morning. So this is really all it is and all it will be forever huh

Every Sunday I'm like. Man, what a week. I should take a day of rest to let my body catch up. And then at the end of that day of rest I inevitably freak out at the conclusion of an idle day with nothing having been done

I feel really silly for having an even vaguely beefed up computer because all I do is play titles released between like 1993 and 2017. The parts aren't particularly new but they are certainly overkill for when I kick on dosbox.

was looking forward to a day of rest and sleeping in until landlord's adult son got into a screaming match with his mom upstairs throwing shit onto the ground as loudly as possible in the unit upstairs at 8:30am on the dot

Renting a Zipcar Honda Odyssey to take out for a rally stage ♥️

I love all cyclists except sometimes I see one of you guys out there do something so braindead stupid and I'm just like. I don't know that guy

Diva you're gonna have to make up your mind and decide which street you want to be.

TRUTH NUKE: i'm sooo eepy this week

Saw somebody censor the word "bollocks" and while i get it, that was so funny to me. Cannot imagine or wrap my head around finding that word so gravely serious

at the office i usually try to innovate on Flatbread Technology and warm my tortillas and naan in the toaster. it has caught a few people off-gaurd

I really think in my anecdotal view like 1/8 traffic lights went out of order at some point over the course of yesterday

I think literally every person save two I can think of that I met in school that went on to join the military got a medical discharge within five years. Most that I know are pretty severe

Loudass lightning crack immediately followed by sheets of rain immediately followed by my cat running into the closet

Spent Saturday weeding my grandfather's vegetable garden and only got about a third of one of his 40x15 foot plots cleared and my body is so sore even two days later. I had heard people describe gardening as a zone 2 exercise but I was not at all familiar with how much work this was.

Printers are finicky because they are portals between a digital world and a physical world which defies all of God's will and should never have been built should never have been built so yet require constant and consistent sacrifice to satisfy the weak bonds that tether the two planes.

I don't really have anything insightful or original or thoughtful to say and just want to vent and say that cancer really sucks

Watched my wife scroll past this one.

"MySpace Meets Meatspace: The Politics of Data Centers and Cloud Computing" would be an incredible research paper title in my opinion. Leaving this one out there for any enterprising folk trying to get published

i don't think I've put this on the record yet but if you are vegan or vegetarian you gotta hit up Quesadilla Reina Del Sur at Western and Lyndale

Fuck it bro I guess we're homeowners now

Got the brand-new Busch 3-pack deal at Mariano's

(Bernie Sanders voice) Beautiful ball busting babes are bursting the bearings in my bicycle's bottom bracket bounding over speed bumps

Odyssey. Wow. What a movie. Still don't get what Jason Borne had to do with it, but at least his skills were put to the test.

Had the HVAC guys over replacing the heat + AC & when I got home one of the guys pointed at my bike and asked "so how many of those things you ride?" And I was like, ah just 3, the winter, summer, and bar bikes, the 4th is my wife's. And he said "oh so you get 3 and she only gets 1 huh"
