Dear Senator Daines,
The mission of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement organization is stated as, "Protect America through criminal investigations and enforcing immigration laws to preserve national security and public safety." I don't think there is an American out there that would disagree that protecting America is a good mission and especially protecting Americans for the sake of national security. The ICE organization however continues to overreach this mission and in doing so is harming Americans and harming individuals who should otherwise be protected by the due process of law. The killing of Renee Good by ICE agent Jonathan Ross provided the Federal Government an opportunity to de-escalate their operations but instead prompted further escalation. I’m calling on you, Senator Daines to stand up for human rights and the moral values you outwardly indicate are your standard and push for an appropriations bill that puts serious restrictions on ICE, ending all but it's most carefully targeted-raids. The Trump administration spent its first 100 days pretending to eliminate fraud, waste, and abuse, and then proceeded to bloat the ICE budget with exactly that; fraud, waste, and worst of all, physical human abuse.
Sincerely,
Sam Haraldson

hastag i feel seen
My wife describes the music I listen to as being akin to throwing a full silverware tray from a dishwasher down an empty concrete hallway. I too feel seen.
I am not alone in believing No Pussyfooting, Metal Machine Music, and Throbbing Gristle to be excellent difficult listening.

😬 That’s a kink I was not aware of and I lived behind The Pleasure Chest!
@m3moellering I went to a random comedy show there where Zach Galifinakis wasn't performing, he was filming his comedian friend (who subsequently died, unfortunately) from the crowd, and it was pretty damn amusing watching everyone riff about the dildos. West Hollywood is magic.
@minimumsafedistance I did things in WH that I’m happy were NOT filmed….

Two fascist thugs wearing masks hold a man face-down to the asphalt, pinning him to the street. A third fascist thug sprays chemical irritant in to the face of the man on the ground from only six inches away. the orange spray is cascading down the man's temple, nose, face, and cheeks, and is pooling on the ground.
Three fascist thugs pin a legal observer to the ground and spray him with an unknown chemical irritant at extremely close range. This happened today, Jan 21, 2026 at 28th and Blaisdell Avenue S. in Minneapolis.

I'm liking this but just this once I wish it could be "Appreciate While Also Feeling Rage"
JFC. Evidence for a ripping civil suit, but the assailants are masked. FUCK this entire organization.
@jer I understand. I don't 'like' it either, I will understand all 'likes' to mean "JFC, WTF, fuck ICE with a saguaro, and this needs to be seen, so I'll punch this button so it makes it to 'best of' and other people will see it"

Why do they keep trying to make him happen?
he must own Bill Clinton's original penis or something. @frothywalrus
I seriously don't understand it. It's like, all these studios start making a massive, expensive, tentpole movie with high quality talent behind the camera, interesting decisions, and then at some point some Executive Producer does a line on the table and says "Anybody think we should totally ruin this by giving some crucial element of it to Jared Leto?" HE'S A SKELETON MAN, HE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE HANDSOME!

A tall, blue figure wearing something that looks vaguely like a uniform stumbles forward awkwardly, brandishing a long sword. The figure wears boots and has the head of a robot, with a flat mouth and staring blue eyes. Perched on its back, one finger pointed forward, is a short, red, demonic-looking creature with a conspicuously fake white halo fixed to its head. The background is a bright yellowish-red. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

I don't post a lot of personal stuff on here, but I felt this was a big deal. We had to say goodbye last fall to our beloved dog of 15 years. After several months of mourning, we by chance were offered to take on this scrappy 1 year old. We are already very much in love. Welcome home, Rufus.
incredible face, Rufus, 12/10
Rufus looks like quite the boss.
Now THAT is a countenance to be reckoned with.

@heyitsal I love the old axhool psychedelic posters. There are some big collections in Utah. The hippies often traveled west for R + R.
New Bike Day

Blue fat-tire mountain bike leaning against a tree.
That didn’t take long.
After selling my too-small Salsa Mukluk fat bike a few weeks ago, and discovering how little I liked riding my full suspension Yeti in the snow (https://mltshp.com/p/1RHUL), the search has been on for another fat bike. I didn't want this to be a big investment with our variable winters, so I set a budget of $1k.
The search started with a few frustrating weeks of marketplace. The few bikes on there in my size (when sellers bothered to list a size) were way overpriced, too far away, worn out, really old, or were of questionable quality to begin with. I also missed a lot of good new bike sale prices over the last few month. Some were selling under my budget, and many others at close to the prices people were asking used.
I decided to look for something new, and planned to wait for another sale - but also look around to see if any sale prices were still hanging around. I found the bike at the top of my wishlist - a Salsa Heyday - for not much more than I budgeted at a shop three hours away. They had my size, the shop was reputable, so I jumped on it. My friend owns a shop and will sell to me at cost, and this was somehow still cheaper.
The Heyday is just a renamed Mukluk, but a lot has changed in ten years. The old bike had a 2x drivetrain, with the front derailleur almost touching the tire in certain gears. The wheels were heavy, QR, couldn't really go tubeless, and had old axle space standards. Tire clearance was only 4", so replacement options were limited. The new bike fixes all of these shortcomings. The frame, tires, and wheelset are all quality with not much reason to ever upgrade. I was little weary of the 1x9 Microshift Advent drivetrain. Though cheap, it seems to have a reputation for being pretty tough. That actually feels like a feature on a bike that will get crashed often and see road salt.
I haven't ridden much yet, but the fit feels excellent so far. Just as important, with a fat bike back in the fleet, I'm out of excuses to not go riding more often.

Nice bike! I'm a fan of 1x drivetrains.
I recommended a Heyday to a friend last Fall and he's been absolutely loving it on his mixed trail/path/road commute to and from work everyday.
@wjcstp Thanks! 1x is definitely the way to go with the wide range on modern cassettes.
@samh I'm convinced nobody makes better do-everything bikes than Salsa.
