@bontrager_keith @StevilKinevil like the tele skiers say, "gotta earn your turns." At least enduro riders pedal their sleds up the hill.

@jonahweiner I'm finally reading "Barbarian Days" and Finnegan says that "kook" comes from a Hawaiian work "kūkae" or excrement. I'm a cyclist but never got why poor "fred" gets picked on.

@StevilKinevil The big S has a gravel/pave chatter-buster in some of its head tubes Kind of like a Girvin & Headshok together. https://t.co/PX8DHEVoRi Future Shock was also what they called their Mag-21s that came on S-works in the early 90s.

@Orphanespresso go on...I've been using my presso for close to a decade. What do you prefer? Better extraction? All metal chamber?

[Sean Patrick Farrell @spatrickfarrell]

@Orphanespresso Looks like it works a lot like a Presso. Have you tried both?

In 2007, I sat down with Lawrence Ferlinghetti, champion of the Beats and freedom of speech at San Francisco's City Lights Bookshop to discuss his life, work and the enduring power of poetry for this "Last Word" video obituary. https://t.co/ITDS3hDovZ

@caitlin_thomps This is kind of what we did with "Almost Impossible" https://t.co/h7dodEZl5J @rtg0nzalez was a very good normal person for scale!

@brooklyn11211 @wdana @RESullivanJr Yes. That's what @NickKristof wrote about earlier this year: https://t.co/zBjDJloCZZ But I think historians trace the term to Horatio Alger & his "Ragged Dick" story abt a "bootblack" (shoe shine boy) who ascends the economic ladder by hard work (& luck)

@markyarm Don't be a cob-nobbler! These go super well with your whack slacks and resists lamestains, I've heard. Catch you swinging on the flippity-flop, fellow grungers!

[Sean Patrick Farrell @spatrickfarrell]

@wdana @RESullivanJr the actual thing, as I understand it, is a loop of leather sewn to the top of a boot, handy for pulling them on by yourself. Need a cobbler to confirm.
