Oh ok...wait...that was syntactically ambiguous. Which zone am I in???

I actually kind of dig the 70s magazine advertising era vibe. They need to start having full paragraphs of Orson Welles style testimonial from the rider

Quite! Esp bc I didn't have endless time yesterday to try them. Def happy to have both cabs. Now for the rest of the straight 8...

Meanwhile @meanwhilebeats.bsky.social · Jun 25

Got them fs the other day, but they're a little more pivoty. Trying to get both forward 360s now. I feel like nollie is possible, but idk abt switch. Those will def be the hard ones

I started trying these probably when I was 16 or 17, and just landed the 1st one yesterday at the age of 42. Skateboarding is like that sometimes...

All skateparks should have a designated flatground area. I'm not trying to have to warm up to go to the park...

Started messing with fs cabs a few days ago, and I managed to get one just before the rain hit yesterday...

As a kid, I was at an Ithaca NY swimming hole at the same time as a Stephen Wright, I saw Joe Lo Truglio in central Park, I brought Julia Louis-Dreyfus a salad, I brought a very groggy Ron Livingston a coffee

Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

Thanks! That's a weird one for me. One day I just tried them by applying my understanding of reg ones and it just worked. I like how they are different from my regular ones though

Christmas complete flatground struggles...

Everything is new, the board is a bit flat with a somewhat odd shape. I need to acclimate to this setup, and I've been neglecting fundamentals lately anyways, so it's a good a time as any to drill flatground...

And it would also prevent federal courts from holding anyone in the trump administration accountable for anything that happens...

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

Also community builders, like creative community organizer types to throw events on the platform. There are beat makers who do sample challenges on Twitter and IG, and nothing like that here. This results in a feedback loop of "no community, posts get no traction, ppl don't post, no community..."

When the Singularity happens, what file format will we save our consciousnesses in?

Defence quality, but this was the end of a long day and I had to summon every ounce of willpower to try these for like 20 minutes (I've been working on them for weeks)

Meanwhile @meanwhilebeats.bsky.social · May 24

I haven't done one of these in probably 25 years or so...

Also, what expertise do the software engineers developing this software have in the sectors from which they are replacing human workers?

Meanwhile @meanwhilebeats.bsky.social · May 17

Kinda seems like a bad idea to let a company decide whether or not you can sue them?

Losing followers on the hell site over hand blood. I thought that place was supposed to be EDGY...?

Sorry, I tried to censor it, but it didn't work...

Beg pardon
I beg you not to sharpen your stake where my heart is
Do you barter, or take maybe a card
Sorry, I can't pay, I'm an artist
Famous last words, or last words of a famous asshole
If you ask nice, I can work with a budget
But fuck it you can be a dick if you want to, that's cool...
