Not all battles are fought with a sword
Random video bits. Curse you YouTube!!!!!!
Al Franken calls out his (Republican) colleagues in the Senate on their obstructionist abuse of filibuster.
Always so nice to hear sense spoken in Congress. Repubs force a vote to break a filibuster on a nominee that then passes 99-0?!? This isn’t principle or debate, it’s just nonsense, and it really needs to stop.
If you haven’t seen this amazing show reel from Danny MacAskill, it’s time to stop what you’re doing and gawk.
In fairness, I think the opening trick on the cast iron fence is perhaps the best thing in the video, but it’s totally worth the price of admission – hard for me to imagine doing such a thing.
Then, for a little context, check out this Edison footage of bike tricks from 120 years ago. Sure, it’s not MacAskill, but it’s a whole ‘nother era in terms of gear, both bike and camera, and it would be interesting to see what Neidert was able to do without the constraints of a small stage and a short one-take camera set-up.
I don’t remember who on Twitter tipped me to the MacAskill video; vitjan via Shadowhand gets the thanks for the Edison footage.
