is that ever since his intentional scamming of cities for his mythical Hyperloop (which was meant to steer cities away from investing in non-car infrastructure), I have a hard time trusting him to keep his word on anything. That was especially true as I was watching Dore last night, and the announcement kept getting moved back and changed. Just…[Read more]

with the idea that it’s a tax (often said to be a tax on stupid people). Because I’ve gotten lottery tickets before. Am I stupid, too? I could spend $2 on a bottle of Dr Pepper, but the carb-load is insane. I’d rather get a little bit of fun from a ticket or a scratch off (which have been better at winning for me) for the same cost. At least I’m…[Read more]

Whereas we’re the joke of the nation for our politicians, and the people who continue to keep them in power. Conservatives like to say that they’re “tough on crime” yet kept Ken Paxton in office, despite all of the crime he’s committed, and while in office at that. Crazy-man Dan Patrick is still in place, but he’s such a strong born-again crazy…[Read more]

but that was back in the early 1990s. So much has changed for biking infrastructure now, in comparison. Basically, it’s gotten even better, as depicted in the video above. The YT channel Not Just Bikes also shows how much better it is and also points out how we could improve things over here (he used to live in “Fake London” Ontario). Here’s one…[Read more]

it does make for some photogenic scenes 🙂

That stone-arch bridge is amazing.

But if you get tired of the perpetually outraged, use it for things other than politics. I only casually read some of that and try to avoid bothering with the comments. Best is to set the twitter page of the people you follow to “Tweets & Replies” so that you see their side and don’t have to sift through all the junk.

This is a favorite acct. I…[Read more]

“There’s someone I hate on Twitter! I’m deleting my account!”
“There’s someone I hate on the Internet! I’m leaving the Internet!”
and similar.

Well, I use Twitter mostly for people who write or make videos about urban design and bicycling. Since I’ve been back on my bike in the last five months, that’s really more important than the politics. I…[Read more]

until I read the other big thread in Latest News. I vaguely remember him talking about having a Substack, but didn’t know it had turned into an alternate site.

I thought I had a bookmark of the FB site, but I must have found it in a search and then didn’t save it. Plus, it was very out of date, and no recent activity.

Since JPR went offline, I…[Read more]

@MrMickeysMom

Here’s what mrdmk emailed to me back in July, also with a link to the test-site:
“This is MRDMK, member of JPR
Hello, hoping everyone doing well
Just checking in with a select few, because this site is supposed to remain a secret
Hope to hear from you
Sincerely,
MrDMK”
and their message on the test-site. It does at least give an…[Read more]

seem completely blank near the end of that clip. Does he need a reboot?

is “laundry aid”?

the tollway driver will help out if you have an emergency.

the last time I bought tequila, I accidentally got mezcal, but it was a happy accident. I love that stuff! So, maybe what I had in my G&T instead was Ginzcal 😉

it’s a well-made cocktail 😋
