Aw, now I have Weird Al’s eBay song running through my head. You just had to mention Beanie Babies.

If it’s promoted by a member of that family, you just know it’s something you don’t want to touch with a barge pole.

I could almost believe this was satire, published in The Onion or The Beaverton. We live in strange times.

I bought a bike frame in 2015 and collected the parts to build it up. Started again recently except now I’m second guessing the shifters, and what if I went for a different gear range, and is this headlight mounting bracket really the best option for the dynamo headlight, and…

Yeah, it’s not leaving the garage any time soon.

Well, 40 years ago it wasn’t all that tiring because I was a very fit young bike racer, but I get what you mean.

No potholes?

Did he have to rent equipment when he got there? As I understand it, it’s pretty much impossible without supplemental oxygen. Edit: looks like he did without. Even more amazing.

They can be washed and reused at least.

The faster you ride, the better you blend in with vehicular traffic. The trouble is, not everyone can ride that fast. Now that I’m old, I appreciate dedicated MUPs and bike lanes because they’re better suited to my current abilities than they were 30 to 40 or even 20 years ago.

A lot of the grocery store cashiers where I live are starting to wear masks again. Their employers took away the plexiglass sneeze barriers, so they aren’t taking any chances

I have seen MAGAts insisting that Trump couldn’t possibly be on the Epstein list or it would have leaked by now. So, it’s being held back for no good reason at all, apparently.

Who says I donate and volunteer??? I have never done that for any political party.

I wonder how many of the new Truth Social accounts are bots and how many are MAGAs pleading with Trump to return their health care and SNAP benefits?

I ran into MAGA nutter for a while there in the summer. He kept changing his user name, but it was blatantly obvious it was the same person. He eventually got booted off the platform for good after the moderators yeeted enough of his sock puppets.

It’s inevitable that a few will creep in, I suppose. Just keep flagging them.

😂🤣😆 I’m a 67 year old cancer survivor and ex bike racer who worked in a mostly male industry for decades. Keep playing tough, sweetheart. I’ve faced far harder opponents than you ever have behind your little keyboard.

Aw, diddums. Are your widdle fee fees hurt?

Any chance the Marineland beluga whales could be shipped there?

They stood no realistic chance of getting in.

What was the alternative? I would have loved to vote NDP, and usually do in local elections, but they stood no chance. I wasn’t so much voting for Carney as against Poilievre.

I doughn’t know if I want a man who isn’t well-bread. A rye sense of humour helps.
