I ordered these wheels a few weeks ago. I’ve had the smaller versions of them and the slightly larger versions. They’ve all been pretty good. These are the 56 mm ones. I’m thinking about bumping up my wheel size to 56 mm from 54 mm on my ditch board. 2 mm might not seem like that much to a non-skater, but it makes a difference. Significantly smoother role. A little bit more inertia. A little bit heavier but that won’t make any difference to me. When you’re putting together a board everything is about balance and proportions. I think these will work on my current set up without making it feel like a monster truck.



Well, I finally removed all Meta’s apps from my phone. Including messages.

So, we’re just going to steal Venezuela’s oil.

No one who can do anything about it will do anything. Because it will benefit them.

What happened to “Thou shall not steal”?

Been keeping a written journal since 2006.

This post is not directed at any particular person.

Numerous times today I’ve seen people referring to “consuming media” or “media consumption.”

It is weird and kind of disturbing how the language of the corporate world has invaded every day speech.

We’re not “consumers.” We are human beings!

I don’t consume media. I read books. I listen to music. I watch movies.

I’m not crazy about the term “content” either. Content is shit churned out by content mills and AI. It has no value. When a human being creates something of value, even it it’s only of value to them, it’s demeaning to call it “content”. I write articles and blog posts. I shoot and edit videos and podcasts. My stuff is all unique and the product of human creativity with thought and intent put into it. It’s not there to make someone click on something. It isn’t “content”. It’s my creative work.
