It's hardly the most damaging or dangerous thing going on in the country, but Trump tearing up part of the White House is a gut punch - one that people will notice and care about
Why it hurts to watch the East Wing torn up

The tariffs are bikemurder. I can't even get decals for restos without getting any profit margin I might have had crushed.

Not that I really have profit to get crushed, but its sort of aspirational.

It’s not his house. It’s your house. And he’s destroying it.
Your car has a brake pedal. Use that instead of a horn. And slow down enough that it's not a problem. And ... yeah, i could go on for a long time because pretty much everything about the way we do cars in the US is horrible.

This photo accompanying a news story about the heist at the Louvre is perfection.
So obvious it has to be true.
Or at least all the lawyers that went to better real actual book reading law schools. 'cus they love some dum lawyers. A lot.
Who robbed the Louvre right answers only
And every year someone is so agro that they are gonna get to [insert chudly funtimes place] to watch football 45 seconds late that they go screaming up residential streets at 50MPH to get around it.
Top stories according to a local news station. When you scroll down, the protests are framed as "democrats" and below the death of a Limp Bizkit member in importance. And this is the least conservative of the local TV outlets.
and the 1 block long Grant Ave lanes are also wonderful, when they're not blocked by construction signs, parked cars, broken glass, etc they a great way to go ... nowhere.
Hey now, the Livingston Ave Death Lanes are the thrill of a lifetime.
Occasional shout out to the city's best business bike parking - INDOORS at the otherwise meh Livingston & Parsons CVS.

Totally anecdotal, but has any else noticed the near total collapse of produce quality lately? First trump take egg, now trump even take sad salad.
(should have been) KARL: Can you tell me do you remember ANY other Defense Secretary? If you have memory issues that severe, are you fit to serve?
KARL: Why is the Defense Secretary afraid to interact with journalists who cover him?

JOHNSON: I reject the premise

KARL: The guy has only had 2 briefings and he basically forced the press out

JOHNSON: I can't remember a Secretary of Defense who has been so transparent and out in the open
Additional context: upper bound 8.7 MILLION Americans.

our local outlets all report that "thousands" protested nationwide yesterday.

All of them include "but republicans said protestors hate america"

Journalism is dead.

The president needs your help! He's collecting diarrhea for his plane. He has a plane that's 99% toilet with other people's diarrhea in it and he wears a little crown when he drives it around. Brave patriots please send your loose stool to your favorite diarrhea president for his diarrhea plane.
It's gross out, but we just took a 90 minute walk with the dog. Raincoat and coffee in hand, just pretended it was Vancouver. Didn't really work .. but it wasn't a bad walk.

But Miles, bikes are for effete elitist east coast snobs.

If you could buy any gravel bike (lets say under $5k just for reasons) that's available at the moment, what would you buy and why?
