Apparently jumping the peloton in the Tour de France has become a thing. Here’s the footage from this year’s jump (I thought it had to be fake until I saw all the angles).

32 Emmy nominations for the last season of Game of Thrones is absolutely preposterous. As is no nominations for Westworld. And Gwendoline Christie having to nominate herself despite doing some of the most deserved work in the final season is terrible, but fitting. Hope she wins!

Love it when I’ve updated my install setup policy right before configuring a bunch of new Macs only to learn there’s a new software update out today that already makes my updated setup out of date.

Houston pairing Russell Westbrook with James Harden still seems crazy to me, but I guess the Chris Paul situation wasn’t working so something had to give. OKC and their draft pick trove is interesting from a team reconstruction exercise; Presti is a great GM, but hope it hurts.

I could really go for a nap right now,but I’ll probably just have some more coffee.

Experienced my first flat on my eBike tonight. Unfortunately it was the rear tire so that made for a maximum difficulty repair. Then I discovered there was a second staple and hole after I had patched and completely reassembled the bike- so I gave up and called for a ride.

The more I read about Nadine Woodward’s conservative positions in her run for mayor of Spokane (particularly in regard to the homeless and local press), the more disgusted I am to see how Trump-like her tv personality with no experience candidacy is.

Still not watching Le Tour, but confirming my sentiment from a few days ago just heard that besides being down 8 minutes after yesterday, today Tejay Van Garderen was involved in a crash and sustained a facial injury. Hope he’s okay and able to continue, but he’s not a contender.

Megan Rapinoe gave an amazing, inspirational, off the cuff speech today in NYC to conclude the USWNT World Cup celebratory ticker tape parade.

National. Treasure.

It’s kind of a bummer that the only thing I find mildly interesting about the Tour de France this year is how the green jersey competition is going for Peter Sagan; he’s so dominant that it’s rarely in question. American Tejay Van Garderen is 53 seconds back in GC, but… cmon.
