I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.
The current marketing push of AI "features" into every aspect of life very much feels like when radio isotopes were a hot new thing. Turned out they're spectacularly useful for a handful of super niche (and generally not highly profitable) things, just not radioactive soda and bedsheets.
TTR-125 trainer bikes provided by American Supercamp. Tall seats, ASV levers, renthal bars, and a few other tweaks. The class even includes loaner gear if it’s needed, I ended up using a boot and steel shoe after they told me I was ready for it. I think the only clear pic I have is our group shot.
Oh hey, it’s me! #motosky

Americans once assumed their kids would be better off than they were. But business professor Scott Galloway says today's economic policies work to enrich Boomers and steal from younger generations.

A reminder that the GOP and Trump only like vets and the military as talking points and cannon fodder. They will consume you and your life and leave you to rot. We only JUST got the VA to the point of adequate care. How many friends and family already died waiting for care? How many more now?

A screenshot of a text chat with the following dialog: “Dude how are you otherwise?” “Aside from the existential crisis of questioning if continuing to labor for corporations is worth it but trapped by the income requirements to maintain my quality of life and feed my family; experiencing the slow build of resentment for the machine while I look for exit options that are more satisfying and fulfilling? Pretty good. 😂”
[this is fine meme]

Screenshot of an email newsletter containing the text: “Newsletter coming in late. If last month's intro felt frantic, know that I feel frantic writing this one. First Thursday meetup at Rogue is happening as I type this sentence. No really, I'm sitting at Rogue right now with Patryk looking over my shoulder and Nick to my left. Hi Nick! Hi Patryk! 👋 Not even going to get this proof-read by Tamer before smashing send and hoping I don't accidentally link you all to FeetFinder or something (don't google that if you don't know—but if you DO know, any posing/content tips will be accepted). That's how the writing is happening this month — spitting a stream of consciousness like a radiator with a rock in it: hot, wet, and unwanted.”
Turned in late for partial credit. Ducati Pacifica March newsletter is out. Back issues available at www.ducatipacifica.com

I need another weekend down south soon, the day I spent sunning on @shahinrides.bsky.social’s roof wasn’t enough.
Normalize IMMEDIATELY video calling your friends back when they butt-dial you. Maybe you’ll see butt, maybe you’ll see your friend. MAYBE.
What about “double click on that” resonates strongly enough that people feel compelled to use it in a meeting/discussion context to either provide or request additional details or discussion about a point or topic? Am I the only one who loathes its use? #thanksihateit
