Bad puns and sarcasm. I like to fix stuff. On sabbatical from bicycle racing (road, CX) now attempting running. Urbanism curious. San Diego, California. Ex-Boston, Massachusetts, ex-Northern New York State.

President Trump's new Fed nominee claims he is independent — but REFUSES to admit that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. Doesn’t sound like independence to me. And Americans will pay the price.

The biggest scandal in US public life *ought* to be that we are the richest country in history & yet our infrastructure sucks, our transportation choices suck, our cities suck, our healthcare sucks, our public administration sucks, & in dozens of little ways, our daily lives suck.

National Guardsmen now stationed outside our DC building confirmed that the only thing they can do if they witness a crime is call 911. The have no more authority than my office mate to intervene. Despite the handcuffs, they can't make arrests. They are very expensive mall cops.

You can’t go long haul anywhere in NY, NJ, MA, NH and ME without paying a toll for the privilege of uninterrupted car travel on nice roads. I’m used to it and I don’t mind. They also have actual state-sponsored rest stops which I’ve never seen out here.

It seems the pro-Israel consensus among Democrats is well and truly dead at this point. Dem primary voters prefer candidates who refuse to travel to Israel (by net +45%) and back a bill to end military aid to Israel (by net +61%). www.filesforprogress.org/datasets/202...

Updated clarification: The Second Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, and the signing of it began on Aug. 2, 1776 — both about a year *after* the Congress appointed Franklin as the first postmaster general on July 26, 1775 www.archives.gov/milestone-do...

Generally summer evenings here mean close the windows at least once or be overcome by 🦨 from the canyon. For whatever reason, almost none of that this year so far. (Fingers crossed) Scented candles are on standby though.
