  1. I woke up this morning and I realized I truly understand the term gas lighting now.   I guess i should have gotten it before but the outpouring of responses from the right about Kirk has really hit home. 
    I guess with Trump i always excused their support because "they" have a reason like "I've always voted GOP" or "the economy" or "immigration" but it had become so apparent that so many live in a different reality than many of us.
    But the responses from so many about Kirk is eye opening.  Yes, Trump is an abject racist and misogynist as well.  And too many give him Christ like status.   But for that attitude to filter down to Kirk and now watching him be so venerated.
    I just don't know anymore.
     

    The different reality is legit. My niece (who I was close with) has gone full MAGA. Shes on the “Ashley Babbit was murdered in cold blood” wagon. “Kirk was a free speech hero.” Etc etc. just completely and totally gone. I sent her something from a .gov website that contradicted something she believed and she immediately called it the Biden gov website. This was two days ago. So many people are broken.

  2. If these white men that feel this way would just fuck off yo their own area and leave people alone once they are there - that would be great. But - as history has shown - let anyone besides white men start to do well and these assholes come burn it down - like Tulsa.

  3. They didn’t need to cover Charles. 
    There was a slow pit stop.    Oscar got through.  Thats racing.   Unlucky.  But races are decided by safety car luck or mechanical bad luck all the time.   

    I do get why Oscar followed the orders, he has chosen to keep peace in the garage.     But I think once the slow pit stop happened the “deal” to swap back ends. 

    If they didn’t need to cover Charles, they didn’t need to pit Lando second. The team made a team call and the team screwed up. Give the place back - otherwise don’t expect preferential treatment on pit strategy.

  4. 2002 or 2003 I saw Poison, skid row and Vince Neil. Bach had the best voice and killed it. Vince was, well, terrible and has only gotten worse. Poison was a really fun time - even if it was super bubblegum. This was at Cythiawoods. The scantily clad women were also out en mass.

    I feel like we could’ve gotten this done months ago if it wasn’t so hilly around here.

    For the dads that are coming up on teaching bike riding - I was taught this method by a bike shop friend that taught 100’s of kids.

    1. Find a small, grassy hill and let them roll down the hill - don’t touch the pedals. Have them keep their legs out and ready to put their feet down when the bike stops. Let them feel the balance.
    2. Once comfy with that, move the feet to the pedals and roll down again - reminding them to put their feet down when they stop.
    3. Once comfy with that, tell them to start pedaling when they reach the bottom of the hill. This is where you teach them how to stop - depending on the bike.
    4. Move to a wide open parking lot and have fun.

    Good luck to you!!
