Comorbidities between our institutional structures, dumb af electorate, and this debilitating case of djt

Fingers crossed TX and those other conservative states have walked backwards into a historic dummymander.

Coworkers ask me about bike commuting.

Cheap takeout or fast food loses the beef and vegetables.

People who don't usually eat beans or rice discover both.

“We will allow our general population to vote tit-for-tat to ameliorate other state’s leaders’ bad-faith anti-democratic behavior” is about the most benign dirty hands you can posit.

Me as a dad, "You better lock and carry that iPad while you're on the stairs!"

When in the prisoner’s dilemma your partner has openly declared they’re going to defect and send you to the chair the move is to shiv them in the cafeteria

My wife is old me (a direct translation) of something her aunt says, “money dies better than people”

They sure flipped out at the idea of service members following their oaths by refusing illegal orders

“Wait. It’s all ‘infrastructure week’?”

The way I found out what it meant was finding out on old childhood friend had become one

A picture is worth a thousand swords.

Riding my bikes for fun and errands
Picking up a morning stretch routine
Throwing in some weight work and calisthenics a few days a week

But to be fair, he also killed the guy who killed Hitler.
