Musings about life on two wheels
Why do actors get involved in politics?
Tl;Dr: Actors get sucked into leadership vaccumes I’m sure there’s a longer, better thought out explanation for this, but why in the world do we end up paying attention to actors in times of political crisis? For example, Jane Fonda posted on Instagram earlier this week ‘Wake up folks and ride up…‘. Don’t get me…
Random musical thought
Maybe a big part of music is making you feel as if you know what’s coming (predictable rhythm), while also engaging novelty.
Feeling resigned
Tl;Dr: Feels like (our political situation) can’t be helped, maybe it’s time to just lay back and take it I’ve been making the analogy that Trump is like a heart attack – urgent action (like CPR) is needed to help the patient survive the event. Looking at what our urgent action has accomplished so far,…
Focus, people
Tl;Dr: Please pick the most urgent & important political issues and focus on those, let the rest go til later. Today I saw a post by somebody wondering what had happened to the Ban on TickTock. Not to put too fine a point it: who fucking cares? Remember Gish Gallop? It’s a rhetorical tactic to…
Protesting disappointment
Tl;Dr: the resistance seems disorganized. Update: here’s a good list, nation wide I am pretty sure there were some protests today, but I really struggled to find one. I looked in the normal places, but they seem to be in pretty bad disarray. TroubleMakers doesn’t have a call to action or calendar on their front…
Big old Bag of Bay
Tl;Dr: Found free bay leaves on our walk, here’s how to preserve them There is nothing that smells so much like Spring as fresh Bay leaves. We found a huge pile of free bay Laurel branches on our walk last night and carried a few home. Having fresh Bay is nice, but how do you…
Health Benefits of Raw Garlic
Tl;Dr: Raw garlic is good for you, here’s some Science to back that up. Garlic is good for you. Eating it raw, shortly after smashing it (or cutting) appears to be best. An active agent in Garlic starts transforming almost immediately after you cut it. Adding vinegar (lowering pH) preserves the active agent. More later,…
Running a (dropship) store
Tl;Dr: A simple store is easy and cheap, making it real costs at least lots of time I setup a quick Printify Dropship shop called 3rdtime.printify.me to sell Impeachment related shirts to help spread the word, and to maybe benefit one of my Kids a little bit financially. The idea was: use our current situation…
The 3.5% rule & popular protest
Tl;Dr: The 3.5% rule is a real thing, and has exceptions like most rules. In my circles I hear alot about the 3.5% rule: If that percentage of the population of a country is protesting, change will come. I’m generally suspicious of popular wisdom, since some of it is just made up. In this case,…
Today’s (another) day: Go Protest
Tl;Dr: Go to your local protest. It’s working. Protesting is the best investment you can make in your future, and the future of the country. Just showing up to be counted is all that’s needed – don’t worry about anything else. Events can be found on these sites: fiftyfifty.one events.pol-rev.com theblop.org teslatakedown.com nvunheard.org indivisible.org findaprotest.info…
