Just for fun...

New Mexico will now be placed on maps as New America. And Spanish place names in California will all be changed English names as the official language. The Rio Grande will now be called Big River. Remember the Álamo will now be 'Remember the cottonwood tree?' Just kidding. :D

A bike motor factory in Southern China sent me this message today, "Have a great Ester Monday holiday."

According to Google AI: "In chemistry, an ester is a compound formed by the reaction of an acid and an alcohol, resulting in a molecule with the characteristic structure RCOOR'. Esters often have a pleasant smell and are found in natural oils, fragrances, and various synthetic materials. The word "ester" also refers to a feminine given name, potentially related to a Babylonian goddess Ishtar or the Persian word for star.

They must think that all our holidays are on Mondays. Just like Cinco de Mayo, the Fourth of July, and 420!

There are youtubers using AI to add in glitches to real footage and then expose it as AI for clicks.

It made me laugh while Im crying.
 
Earlier today, I ran across this contender for Lamest Cycling-Themed Ad...


But wait, there really was a Team 7-Eleven in the mid-1980s — a real underdog story...


There was even a documentary...


The 7-Eleven team bike ridden by the first American ever to wear a TdF yellow jersey, with the original Eddie Merckx steel frame and some modern updates ...


And where did 7-Eleven take this strong cycling connection, so carefully nurtured over the years?

A guy sits next to me on a train.
Man: There are lots of psychopaths around here.
Me: Really?
Man: Yah, Loads!
Me: How do you know?
Man: There are signs.
45 minutes of awkward silence.
The man get off the train with his bike.
Then I realize he said cycle paths.
