Oklahoma ranks 49 in education. But sure, christo-fascists will make it better.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Biden is considering commuting the death sentences of "most, if not all" of the 40 men on death row.

It should be "all."

Tonight, at Law Dork: https://www.lawdork.com/i/153438484/wsj-on-possible-death-row-commutations
WSJ on possible death row commutations
On Friday evening, the Wall Street Journal reported two pieces of major news. First, Jess Bravin and Ryan Barber reported that President Biden “is considering commuting the sentences of most, if not all, of the 40 men on the federal government’s death row,” according to “people familiar with the matter.”1

This followed earlier Washington Post reporting at the White House “considering” some action, which I discussed here and which was far more tentative.

On Friday, though, the Journal’s reporting goes so far as to say that some of their sources said that “[a] decision from the president could come by Christmas.”

Question for the wrenching bicycle folks: so, what next on this? New hub? Replace the broken part of the hub? New wheel entirely? #BikeTooter #repair cc @ascentale @ericm @jfreebo @HayiWena (and all the much more experienced bike folk out there?)

***opened this up and all the grease in the bearings had been replaced by crusty dirt LOL.
AI6YR Ben mastodon (AP)
Okay, hauled the entire wheel down to the LBS. They did not have the right axle, but they did have a solid axle that will fit. They did not have the right tool to remove the hub, except behind the bench, but could not remove the hub because no axle to clamp onto, LOL. They apparently refuse to fix axles there, but since they now know me went fishing for an axle that would fit. #BikeTooter #bikerepair #carryshitolynpics

Old broken axle. New solid axle but it's a bit long. Got new bearings since I'm in here. Getting the bearings in without removing the freewheel will be... interesting. #BikeRepair
Broken axle, new solid axle which is too long, bearings.
AI6YR Ben mastodon (AP)
Not that anyone REALLY cares, but Suntour axles of this era require M10x1.0mm nuts, which are not easy to find... except for some reason, at Home Depot (tomorrow's task). They are $7 for 2 at bicycle stores, $2.50 each from McMaster-Carr or 20 for $12, $$$ from eBay, but $1.25 each at Home Depot, if they have them. So off to Home Depot I go, after I repack the bearings (when I have light to work outside). All the parts were soaked in degreaser for a few hours to remove how many ever decades of hardened grease. (scavenging a used wheel would be cheaper, yes -- standard 26 inch MTB wheel - Suntour 7x3, would need to match the 7 speed). #bikerepair #suntour #vintage
AI6YR Ben mastodon (AP)
(Note: it clearly makes more financial sense to buy one of the used mountain bikes that shows up here weekly INSTEAD of fixing this... but since my purpose here is learning how to fix a broken axe, I'm paying for the lesson, not for the practicality of this.

If I were smart, I'd have purchased the $35 Nishiki that a neighbor was selling, or this $50 Stumpjumper with Deore DX components as a replacement, instead of spending half of that on ancient Suntour axle parts, LOL)

The Wanamaker organ has been part of a treasured holiday tradition in Philly for over 100 years − a historian explains its illustrious past and uncertain future
After Macy’s announced in November 2023 its plans to close approximately 150 locations across the United States, some Philadelphians fretted – not so much about the fate of the Center City department store, but about a local treasure housed inside.

What would happen to the 120-year-old Wanamaker organ and annual Christmas light show?

As a historian of Philadelphia and historic preservation, I recognize the panic as a familiar response to the economic changes that have been shaping the city for 75 years. As city leaders have struggled to develop an economic anchor for downtown, the historical and cultural features of the city have drawn more enthusiastic visitors than the retail businesses meant to profit from them.

Concern for the Wanamaker organ speaks to the ongoing challenge of preserving urban landmarks that remain tied to a consumer economy.

Ever been there? It's pretty cool, but the light show is incredibly dated and retro. It was really impressive in the 50s and 60s lol
