As a sentient being, what’s the right moral response to realizing you live amidst a mass extinction event of your own design? 22:09:39, 2014-07-07
The view from my bed right now at the @MasalaCoop. The Creator is angry. http://t.co/KiGYSKc6Jk 20:45:49, 2014-07-07
And speaking of plutocratic insurgencies… RT @voxdotcom: The US could start running out of money for roads in August. http://t.co/Ifthpm0Yqc 17:08:13, 2014-07-07
@ericmbudd you might like @nils_gilman (who wrote that plutocrats+criminals essay) and his alter-ego @deviantglobal 16:28:22, 2014-07-07
Plutocratic & criminal insurgencies vying only for their own autonomy, creating pocket empires as the state withers: http://t.co/PjZyT7FI1v 16:27:01, 2014-07-07
@ericmbudd A whole genre of @kickstarter projects that just hack our attention centers. Like #SolarRoadways. Maybe it’s natural selection. in reply to ericmbudd 16:10:24, 2014-07-07
@EricHolthaus But is that a function of the storm, or the fact that it’s going to hit a rich & resilient Japan instead of the Philippines? in reply to EricHolthaus 16:01:33, 2014-07-07

@bikepedbrian @ericmbudd @boyonabike62 Ugh, the @HomeDepot in the @TwentyNinthSt mall desperately needs some decent bike/cargo bike parking. in reply to bikepedbrian 11:19:23, 2014-07-07
@SunFoundation Might liberating detailed utility data held in an archaic @FERC DB be within your funding sphere? e.g. http://t.co/qVRKj4GvkA 11:02:26, 2014-07-07
@egocarshare Also, if you wanted to work w/ @mrmoneymustache on promoting carsharing in Longmont… he might be a good PR/outreach resource. in reply to egocarshare 10:34:36, 2014-07-07
@egocarshare I think you probably meant @lennstar_de in reply to egocarshare 10:21:48, 2014-07-07
@ericmbudd I just set up @venmo payments for the @MasalaCoop, so hopefully, my meatspace banking days are numbered. in reply to ericmbudd 10:06:23, 2014-07-07
Painfully slow guy in front of me at the bank would rather keep using compromised debit card than set up a bunch of new automatic payments. 09:57:29, 2014-07-07

I wish I could just accept stories like this. Sadly, electricity costs and pricing are much more complicated: http://t.co/1jZwLJC0oA 01:35:41, 2014-07-07
In other news, I had no idea @DarrenAronofsky’s Noah was a giant thundering biblical climate change allegory. Whoa. Pleasant surprise. 00:42:19, 2014-07-07
@ericmbudd Which brings me back to just the seat, headset, cables, housing. Whew! Good thing there’s no 3/8” 26tpi @surlybikes trailer nuts! in reply to ericmbudd 00:30:42, 2014-07-07
@ericmbudd But at this point the whole upgrade scheme has become clearly ridiculous and circularly self justifying. in reply to ericmbudd 00:26:32, 2014-07-07
@ericmbudd Because the incompatibility would *totally* justify my getting a cargo bike as my third bike. It could be a @YubaBicycles Mundo. in reply to ericmbudd 00:24:40, 2014-07-07
@ericmbudd That one would be a Surly Straggler with an IGH & disc brakes too. Thankfully also incompatible w/ the Surly trailer yoke. in reply to ericmbudd 00:23:12, 2014-07-07
@ericmbudd Then I could get rid of the Troll and LHT, and have just one adventure bike… and build a CITYBIKE as my new second bike! Genius! in reply to ericmbudd 00:21:20, 2014-07-07
@ericmbudd It would be like my @surlybikes Troll and LHT had a lovechild. in reply to ericmbudd 00:19:44, 2014-07-07
@ericmbudd Oh wait, I know, I could just get a new frame. Then it could have disc brakes! http://t.co/plgAAI9Pup Oh wait, that’s a new bike. in reply to ericmbudd 00:18:23, 2014-07-07
@ericmbudd But belt drives need a special frame, and tensioning an IGH drivetrain w/o horizontal dropouts or an eccentric hub is ugly. in reply to ericmbudd 00:15:44, 2014-07-07
@ericmbudd And the rear hub could be black too, and the drivetrain would be much cleaner if it were a belt driven internally geared system. in reply to ericmbudd 00:13:34, 2014-07-07
@ericmbudd And wouldn’t it be nice if the cranks and chainrings were black too? To match the new seat and seat post and headset? in reply to ericmbudd 00:12:03, 2014-07-07
@ericmbudd Seat (and seatpost?), headset, handlebar tape. And cables. And housing. And drivetrain is soooo filthy. in reply to ericmbudd 00:11:10, 2014-07-07
@interfluidity Whoa. An app I would pay for, but only if it were already popular. @whispersystems could make it. in reply to interfluidity 23:53:36, 2014-07-06
I don’t actually need to replace these bike parts that have between 5 and 15 years of wear on them. #ThigsIActuallyKeepTellingMyself 23:50:51, 2014-07-06
Replacing a couple of parts that have between 5 and 15 years of wear on them is much better than a new bike. #ThingsIKeepTellingMyself. 23:48:28, 2014-07-06
Hells yeah! "BART is the largest parking-lot owner west of the Mississippi. That’s a lot of housing you could build." http://t.co/LFKJb7TZDF 20:53:09, 2014-07-06
@ericmbudd Ah, yes. For some reason few non-competitive folks want to do this stuff… looking for more of a cooperative mountain randonnée 😉 in reply to ericmbudd 19:17:50, 2014-07-06
@ericmbudd Where do you find these people? I never seem to run into them. in reply to ericmbudd 19:05:08, 2014-07-06
Oooh, J.Paks looks like a nice local Colorado bespoke bikepacking gear maker: http://t.co/RLTOsoyFJu Not that I need more bicycle things… 19:04:39, 2014-07-06
@ericmbudd does this Rocky Mountain Randonnée look stupid? Probably 2 days. Clockwise, or counter-clockwise? https://t.co/OQLxDcgXij 18:40:24, 2014-07-06
Why I make co-ops: MT @Kurt_Vonnegut: Humans will be happy, not when we cure cancer or get to Mars, but when we inhabit communities again. 18:35:25, 2014-07-06
Being missed in the short term feels like it affirms my connection to another human being, but in the long term, it ends up feeling tragic. 17:22:50, 2014-07-06

With the hostel in Frasier closed, my annual Rollins Pass ride might have to turn into a Rocky Mountain Randonnée… https://t.co/OQLxDcgXij 11:28:15, 2014-07-06
Nice long dirt ride up to the Peak to Peak highway and back all day Saturday with Amy of the Picklebricolage… http://t.co/rs47cZ9mVX 09:18:39, 2014-07-06
