It took me months, about 495 rides, recovering from a shattered right foot and hacking a folding scooter, but I finally own a Nintendo Switch 2 using points obtained from Citi Bike. Afterwards, it left me questioning the very nature of work. For @aftermath.site.

Someone create a photo gallery of midwesterners in pajamas and robes telling the paramilitary troops to eat shit
Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.

And this is by no means limited to tech. We have the resources, technology and time to take care of everybody but we spend endless resources on helping already rich people chase paper. It's such a waste.

Putting those Schwalbe Pickups on my ebike was probably the hardest tire change I've ever done. It was harder than putting on solid tires for sure.

Season two of Haymarket Originals is bringing you inside one of the most dynamic and inspiring organizing drives in the labor movement today. Heat The Ground Up is an oral history of Starbucks Workers United, voiced by the baristas who built it.

I'm going to the committee on pedestrian safety today at 1pm to show support for the Archer plan. There is also an open house on the 28th. Counter protest again tonight at Rockwell and Archer. Not sure if I can make it to that though.
