Well, the @SANDAG University Bikeway project is a good thing, but not a real cyclist in sight and a rendering of cyclists with no helmets! #SMH sandag.org/news/news-rele…

I was trying to figure out why my latest @Strava activity was slightly slower than a previous one. It says my latest effort was a 400' more climbing, which would account for the difference in speed, but it was the same route as before! I suspect the data is now more accurate?

Boy Scouts sue LGBTQ travel group ‘Queer Scout’ over its name The company, which uses an image of a pink fox for its logo, was accused of “diluting @BoyScouts’ famous trademarks and falsely associating with Boy Scouts,” according to the court filing. The development came during a tumultuous month for relations between the Trump administration and Scouting America, which receives support from the military. the-independent.com/news/world/ame… via @Independent

Op-ed: The truth behind @SANDAG’s toll road scandal This story about the state Route 125 toll road is one of incompetence, dishonesty, persistence, retaliation, whistleblowing, perseverance and ultimately, vindication thecoastnews.com/op-ed-the-trut… by @JeromeStocks via @coastnewsgroup

Unfortunately for me, I renewed my @CA_DMV registration late. I would have done it on time had they let @AAASoCal accept debit cards (like cash) when I was there in January. 🚗 Worse yet, the penalty was 35% which is usurious! (exorbitant, outrageous, steep, unconscionable). 🤑

Elon Musk Moves Against the Russians in Ukraine Russian forces falter as the world’s richest man intervenes in the war once again. Since the start of the Russian invasion four years ago, Musk has played an outsize role in determining the course of the war. His high-speed internet service, Starlink, uses portable satellite dishes to create a Wi-Fi connection anywhere in the world, and it has allowed both the Russian and Ukrainian militaries to stay online in the war zone, coordinate troop movements, and navigate drones. No other system can match the reach and reliability of Starlink, which runs on the world’s largest constellation of satellites. Musk has occasionally used that system in ways that have helped one side of the war or the other. theatlantic.com/national-secur… by @shustry via @TheAtlantic

Scouting America to alter policies including biological sex requirement to maintain military support, Hegseth says Some of the changes mirror what the organization suggested to the Department of Justice earlier this year, which included discontinuing its Citizenship in Society merit badge and introducing a Military Service merit badge, the Pentagon said. cbsnews.com/news/scouting-… via @CBSNews

The @SupLawsonRemer scam enewspaper.sandiegouniontribune.com/infinity/artic… by @sdutOpinion

The U.S. men’s Olympic hockey team won gold — and then lost the room In the immediate aftermath of their victory, the team took a customary, congratulatory call from President Donald Trump, and some players laughed at a misogynistic joke about the gold-winning women’s hockey team that many Americans wouldn’t find funny. They celebrated in the locker room with beer-chugging FBI Director Kash Patel, who is now under scrutiny for using taxpayer money to fund a sports getaway. Then, after a wild night of partying in Miami following their return from Italy, some members of the team announced plans to step in the House Chamber – a stage upon which symbolism is never neutral – and make an appearance at Trump’s State of the Union. nytimes.com/athletic/70684… by @JerryBrewer via @TheAthletic

@barryjantz @markkersey @sdcta Yep, you two would have fit right in! 🥃😅

Congrats to @MarkKersey on his new role at @SDCTA. I'm confident he's the right person to ensure the important work of the Association continues. Great selection! Plus, anyone who identifies himself as "former city councilman, policy nerd, whiskey enthusiast" is OK with me!

I did a bicycle ride today in honor of #AlexPretti 😥 I wore my black jersey with a bicycle map of the U.S. and my flag socks! 🇺🇸 From what I read about him, I think he would have liked that! 🚵‍♂️

I saw a picture posted today of MLK riding his bicycle and I thought, wait, I have one of those! So I rode mine. From what I read, most people think it was a Raleigh bicycle and I would suggest it was a Robin Hood, which is what I have, which was Raleigh's budget bicycle line! And of course, I thought if I was to pose with MLK, I might as well with JFK too! 😅 #MLKday

Made me think about what is going on today in #Minneapolis and elsewhere. "For What It's Worth" was written 60 years ago by Stephen Stills and performed here by Buffalo Springfield. It was mistakenly seen as an anti-Vietnam War anthem, but is actually about clashes between police and youth on the Sunset Strip in 1966.

Why Greenland Matters to U.S. Defense, in 7 Maps President Trump says the U.S. must own Greenland for national security. While many Americans and Europeans say the U.S. doesn’t need to acquire the Arctic island to bolster northern defenses, there is broad agreement that Greenland plays a big role in naval and missile defense for North America and across the North Atlantic. wsj.com/world/europe/g… by @Cchurchili @ebrown725 @DanMichaelsWSJ via @WSJ

U.S. plane used in boat strike was made to look like civilian aircraft Use of the plane prompted legal debate after the operation over whether concealment of its military status amounted to a ruse that violated international law, officials said. Feigning civilian status and then carrying out an attack with explicit intent to kill or wound the target is known as “perfidy” under the law of armed conflict, a war crime, according to legal experts. wapo.st/4qqnXAK by @NoahjRobertson @TaraCopp @nakashimae via @WashingtonPost
