Watched @TheLastDuelFilm on a plane; debriefed the plot & Matt Damon's hairstyle with friends, and ended up with this joke. Enjoy, s'il vous plaît.

Shout out to @boafitsystem for excellent customer service. Snapped a lace on my road cycling shoes after 7 years usage, filled out a form on their site and 2 days later, parts in the mail. Beats buying new shoes (even though I secretly wanted to)

CNN's @ddale8 says while Joe Biden was "largely accurate" during tonight's presidential debate, "we had an avalanche of lying from President Trump." He says at points during the debate, "almost every single thing (Trump) said ... was inaccurate" #Debates2020

The AFFH rule that Trump ripped up was about helping cities address our country’s ugly legacy of government-backed housing discrimination and segregation. This is blatant racism from the President of the United States. And it’s disgusting.

The advice, direction, and hard work of more than 130 Latinx leaders from across Massachusetts have been critical to the success of our campaign. Together, we will continue to deliver for and protect Latinx and immigrant communities across our state and country. #AquíConMarkey

Hi folks, @MassDCR is getting complaints of bicyclists speeding on the Blue Hill summit descent. There have also been some collisions between cyclists and other park users. Please keep closer to the 10mph speed limit, and save the speeding for open roads (Unquity & Chickatawbut). – at Milton, MA

I'm supporting Tim Kaine’s NDAA amendment to ban the use of military force against civilians. We've seen too many weapons of war used against peaceful protestors and military forces patrolling our streets. It's morally reprehensible—and should be illegal. reuters.com/article/us-minne…

George Floyd died of asphyxiation. Why does that keep happening? Thread time. This one is a doozy. xitter.cf/kylegriffin1/status/12…
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — An autopsy commissioned for George Floyd's family found that he died of asphyxiation due to neck and back compression when a Minneapolis police officer held his knee on Floyd's neck for several minutes and ignored cries of distress, the family's attorneys said.
