A handsome orange bicycle complete with front and rear racks, a comfortable leather saddle, and front and rear fenders.
Mounted studded tires and fenders on my commuter last week. My trusty steed is prepared for the next storm. It's missing lights and pogies in this photo but those will be added all in good time.
Excellent, keep getting out there this winter!

Color photograph of a Japanese man in a gray suit, holding a detailed Godzilla model. It's captioned "Keija Ota". At the bottom, it reads "Occuptation: Film and TV producer; Managing Executive Officer and Chief Godzilla Officer of Toho Co., Ltd."

Key quotes:
"I want to increase the points of contact—the touchpoints—between everyone and Godzilla, and make him an even more familiar presence than before."
"Furthermore, we will develop diverse content beyond just video content, increasing the entry points to Godzilla and creating opportunities for people to encounter Godzilla"

A composite image shows countless satellite trails streaking above Mount Taranaki, New Zealand

"Larsen, 51, says he set his camera up to take an unlimited number of eight-second-long shots, with a two-second gap in between each photo. 'I left her running for two hours and captured 578 photos … That was the easy part.'
The hard part came next. Larsen spent about 45 hours layering the individual photos – each of which contained about 25 satellites – over one another, using Adobe Photoshop. Much of the time was spent painstakingly erasing stars, to reveal the satellites."

I've been taking night photos since 2007. I have seen a notable increase in satellite streaks the last few years. And then there's the ever-present air traffic.

A 1970s advertising product photo shows a man and a woman lying on a circular bed surrounded by entertainment devices. Built into the circular bed are: a TV, a stereo system, and a wet bar.
The ad text reads: "The ultimate in personal environment. Privacy. Comfort. Entertainment. All within your reach. RCA Circle Bed Model CB-1000."

My last year in college, a friend and I rented an apartment from a known slumlord. It was a decent enough two-bedroom just a couple blocks from campus, and cheap even for off-campus housing at the time. I'm pretty sure it was a handshake lease.
In the apartment below ours were a drug dealer and his girlfriend, who were nice enough and relatively quiet despite the steady stream of visitors. They'd occasionally have very loud sex. When they moved out, they left their queen-sized circular bed behind. My roommate and I briefly considered picking it up and using it as a new sofa, but decided against it because of the stains. They were replaced by a lesbian couple who cleaned the apartment at 9am every Saturday while listening to half of Beck's "Odelay" (just their favorite songs, I guess) at ear-splitting volume so it could be heard over the vacuum. I worked Friday nights until 3 or 4am, so *that* was much appreciated.
Anyway, that's the only time I've ever seen a round bed in the wild.

I've been trying to assemble just a capsule biography of all the Dems who flipped a seat, and reading about Teresa Benitez-Thompson—the first Democrat elected in Reno since it got its own seat in 1981—I saw that she was a former Miss Nevada (finished 4th at Miss America that year). It turns out that she seems *wildly* impressive. https://thenevadaindependent.com/article...
Here's her doing a monologue from The Laramie Project, about the murder of Matthew Shepard, as her talent performance at the 2003 Miss America pageant. 2003! https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Rep. Jasmine Crockett, of Texas, gerrymandered out, gone but neither forgotten, nor silenced.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett who showed considerable backbone, and gave a unique lesson about freedom of speech, and fearless activism. She is the bane of racists everywhere, the mother of the new Texas spirit. She lent her balls to Talarico.
She’s incredible and I hope to see plenty more of her. I do think Talarico was the better choice for the general - just in terms of not having to overcome the racism and misogyny that regrettably appears hard baked into the electorate - but she has so much to offer Texas and this country.
She's miraculous and we must protect her at all costs
I dunno... she seems like a liability that won't get much push forward.

A black hatchback that is an EV, parked immaturely at a gas station. It is night and the car's lights are on.
My buddy said everyone's car looks cooler when you photograph them at night at a gas station because of the overhead lights. This is about as menacing as my commuter EV will ever look.
The irony of photographing an EV at a gas pump is not lost on me

Very good victory speech from our new MN Senator
I haven't been able to quite articulate it enough (in my head) to post about it here, but it made me weep last night thinking about how much we owe Minnesota for standing up to ICE the way they did last winter (and still do!). A lot of other people have stood up and shown up, and worked hard (godDAMN, Georgia!)- don't get me wrong - but by fighting back so forcefully and publically "ordinary" Minnesotans just galvanized the country in the way it really needed and they deserve some credit for what happened nationwide yesterday.
@williwaw I think Minnesotans recognized that simply caring about your neighbors in this day and age has become a radical act, and we made the most of it that we could. There were dozens (maybe hundreds) of small groups organizing help for people here, so while the cartoonishly evil of ICE helped make it a national story, the roots of support and connection went so much deeper. Even farther out from the Twin Cities, ICE was abducting people and disrupting communities, and that helped those more isolated parts of the state both recognize the problem and find support networks in ways that cut through their haze of right-wing media. MN Isn't uniformly blue, but this election pushed the state as a whole back toward the left.
Also, much of this goes back further to George Floyd and the networks of support that grew from those killings. ICE focusing here just reactivated that feeling of being under siege and the need to band together.
