The key to unlocking your Road #cycling potential is to take 2 bottles, one with water and one with #coffee. The rationale is Mmmmm Coffee!!! Not sure what the water is for. Ballast I suppose 🦧

Lake holds up a photograph and falsely asserts that during the Biden administration "only one person showed up" in the VOA newsroom in the middle of the week last November.

A long-time local activist in Salt Lake City is in jail - after being shot by hired #NoKings protest security, who opened fire on him, shooting and killing another demonstrator.

For reasons not truly known to anyone, one of our state funded free-to-air tv channels* broadcasts The Fifth Element, five times in a row, on May 5th. Last year they only showed it once and people were offended, so this year it's once again five times in a row.

*SBS Viceland.

The worst people in the world are getting everything they want and it’s infuriating.

My colleagues and our broadcasts, devoted to telling America’s story to the world — honestly, fairly and with an unwavering commitment to the truth​, are being silenced this weekend. https://open.substack.com/pub/newsguy/p/requiem-for-the-voice-that-carried?r=1g77q&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

FT - US cuts off intelligence sharing with Ukraine. https://www.ft.com/content/c58fccea-00c4-4fad-bc0a-0185b7415579

We need a medical drama where the patient is cured in the first 15 minutes and the rest is dealing with the insurance companies and a Go Fund Me

Democrats don’t need donations, they need a clue. Kamala Harris raised $1 billion to Trump’s $850M only to be swept in every swing state and lose the popular vote.

Giving that party any money without serious change occurring first is enabling their incompetence.

The revised Wow! Signal page now includes recalculated coordinates in both equatorial and galactic terms. The central frequency replaces the previous local oscillator frequency, and objects along with the continuum (CNT) are added. #AreciboWow #Astronomy #SETI

Was reading this Substack post about US gov cloud servers being pointed at AI companies. It observed that a number of US gov cloud servers on AWS are now pointing to IPs at a company called inventry.ai

https://cyberintel.substack.com/p/doge-exposes-once-secret-government

I checked on a few of the IPs mentioned in this writeup, and it checks out. E.g., the IP address 18.253.166.131 from 2020-2024 was tied to us-gov-east-1.compute.amazonaws.com and is part of the gov cloud infrastructure at AWS. Loading that IP into DomainTools Iris, we can see the SSL cert assigned to them is for inventry.ai.

Methinks we need to know more about Inventry.

I AM TRAPPED ON EARTH, THE INDIANA OF PLANETS. THIS OBJECTIVELY SUCKS. BUT I CAN CONTROL HOW I REACT TO BEING THE CREAMY DRESSING ON THIS SUCK SALAD.

Why doesn't someone ask Trump how many Palestinians the United States will be relocating here?

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !

I'm still not ready to talk about Black history. I still want to talk about white US history.

Q: Why do Black people see racism in everything?

A: A few years ago, European tech entrepreneur Martin Varsavsky asked some very good questions in good faith. He asked why San Francisco and Madrid were different in so many confusing and awful ways. I answered each of his questions. Please verify each and every answer with a skeptic's keen eye.

Here we go...
