Ridiculous.
Day 3 of 112 training for our August race. Last night was a speed work session on the river trail. So much debris from the flooding and storms, but the water levels were down enough to get 4.5 miles in.

Please help spread this widely!
Truth!
And on that note does anyone have comments on the Hyundai Kona SEL AWD? My main asks are a hatchback for the three dogs, so I'm open to other suggestions, preferably not Chevy or Ford
Hehe I love this!

Immigrants Launch Multi-Unit Hunger Strike at Baldwin Detention Center, Protesting Dire Conditions and Unconstitutional Captivity Baldwin, MI — Citing dangerous conditions, a lack of adequate food and medical care, and cruel legal obstacles that have kept many in captivity with no end in sight, immigrants held at the GEO Group’s privately owned North Lake Processing Center announced on Monday that a majority of men imprisoned in multiple units had chosen to go without food. “We demand competent doctors, better medical care—the food here is absolute garbage—and, above all, an end to the procedural delays we are suffering through inside these walls,” said one immigrant detained at North Lake, in a translated statement. “We are being held prisoner arbitrarily. The majority of us meet all the requirements to be released, yet judges capriciously deny us bond and the basic rights to which we are entitled. We need to get out of here and to be treated like human beings.” The newly declared hunger strike represents both a response to the intensification of disturbing trends in immigration enforcement across the region and the country—with deaths in ICE detention now at a record high—and the continuation of a long history of unrest at this isolated Northern Michigan prison. Immigrant advocates plan to gather in Baldwin this week in support of those held against their will and their efforts to secure their freedom.
Immigrants in Michigan's North Lake Processing Center, a GEO Group concentration camp, are on hunger strike over inhumane conditions and treatment.
Ewww! Glad it was recoverable!

Rhode Island Shipwrecks Map 🗺️
As someone who lives in or near the mountains, shipwrecks are like barn finds, except the barn is a dungeon, and the monsters are not too thrilled about you taking their treasure.

Restrepia flower. It's been three years in waiting for this one
Shopping for cars sucks. That is all.
Paid my last child support payment this morning, but no worries, they are now college support payments. Kiddo's got investing on his mind.

Beautiful
Homeland Security Task Force website is now up. It reads as a very thinnly veiled thug group and I'm guessing it won't be long before it's expanding the categories of threats. I am so tired of this being normalized. share.google/fyUjyRv9BDqx...

The report about the surveillance at Madison Square Garden and other James Dolan properties is insane and towards the bottom, there’s a reveal that this kind of surveillance will also be used against fans during the World Cup

flooded water over pedestrian way.

pedestrian trail under water from a flood
Some more views of the local flooding. Lot of the running trail underwater. Really similar to the 2017 flood impacts.
"I don't think there is anything after death, so in this shared world I don't live a fully self-centered life because of consequences after death, but rather the consequences in the only life I am fortunate enough to live" From the Kiddo's philosophy paper.
Everytime I try to do something on Bluesky (repost, post, reply) I get a "forbidden" response the first time and then just close the warning and submit again and magically I am no longer forbidden. End of the world, no. Obnoxious, yes.
This is fantastic!:)
