How about we focus our efforts on unshittifying Earth first, eh?

Good. Let it fucking die.

Just a random thought, but it would take a lot of work (or institutional access to some portable toilets) to be able to get enough piss to fill an entire barrel

You mean like Microsoft Recall?

Break out the guillotines y’all

OpenAI is going to crash so hard.

The Transit app has been quite helpful for me to replace Google Maps!

Oh look, another old white man with stupid ideas

I straight up thought this was AI generated…wtf

I remember Boston recently elected a really awesome mayor who prioritized transit…does anyone know how she’s doing politically?

How about we tax billionaires enough so that the government can train thousands of people to be heat pump technicians and potentially own their own trades business, and then also pay to buy and install them?

Today was not about determining consequences / repercussions. It was only about deciding yes or no on the monopoly issue. The next step in the legal process is determining repercussions for Alphabet, and it seems like there are some pretty dramatic options on the table.

Ah, capitalism

Jesus fucking Christ the court system is just hammering away at my faith in the survivability of humanity under our current system over the past few days. I feel like curling up into a ball and crying at how hopeless this all feels.

To be honest I’ve found a really incredible community of like-minded people on BW and regularly find top quality book suggestions just from seeing what these people are reading. One key is to find your favorite books, and then follow lots of the same people who felt similar to you. Some will be misses and have bad recommendations going forward, but at least a handful will be very like-minded readers.

Thanks, friend! I appreciate the reply! Randonneuring is definitely the goal that I have been working towards. Finishing a 200km ride this year is my peak goal, as that would qualify me as a legit randonneur!

I think that perhaps I will pump the breaks on the 157km ride, since it’s on Canada Day and I think my spouse would appreciate me being available for childcare, but I think I’ll find a better training plan for completing the 200km in September.

What a beautiful bike! What kind of handlebars are you using here? I love the flair out to the sides - I’ve been looking at Salsa Cowchipper bars myself

This is the bad place

Having known a few Germans, I can blindly extrapolate that they love cars even more than Americans do. Although, they love cars because of the science and mechanics of how cars work. Americans, on the other hand, love cars because they are lazy and homicidal people who will literally burn the world to ashes as long as they can get to Costco 15 minutes faster.

Anne Hidalgo is a goddamn saint
