Just watched yesterdays highlights and he is killing it

If you don’t watch cycling I want to share the joy of Eritrean Biniam Girmay, who is the first Black person to win a stage in the Tour de France and now won his second! In the first week! And he’s in green, which means he’s winning the most sprints (and beating Jasper Phillipsen, which is great.)

traveling during the holidays is bad. traveling during the holidays when your TSA PreCheck expires in the middle of said holiday is worse

Ruin a movie by making it plural: Hackers Oh wait. It was already ruined upon release.

Not sure what is worse - trying to teach your partner how to drive a car with a stick or teaching them how to use apple pay. But as we just missed a train because the ticket machine was wonkie we made it through it and I’m (somewhat) sure divorce is not being filed

Walking into a gay bear bar in Chicago and seeing pokémon fan art and automatically thinking of @legalminimum.bsky.social is not a positive thing (this was the tamer of the lot)

Going to need to start unfollowing all law accounts if I’m going to mentally survive until november.

Also verify your contacts when possible. A friend showed me how you can verify each contact with a QR code. Recommended for potential MITM attacks. It’s good when you have kind and smart friends. www.howtogeek.com/709074/how-t...

Use Signal. You don’t have to use your own phone number now. To respect their privacy do not give it access to your contacts but adding them manually works just fine.

How to Make Your Signal Chats as Secure as Possiblewww.howtogeek.com Signal is a secure and private messaging app, but there are a few settings you can tweak to truly lock it down. Here's how.

The Thorne Miniature Rooms is fantastic. Not sure how I missed them before (outside that they are in the basement) @aricohn.com

My oldest brother joined the military and learned about the world. My other brother didn’t. Guess who is the racist sack of shit?
