So where are we all supposed to go now?

Twitter’s dying, Reddit’s changing, everything else is entertainment – and there’s nowhere left to hang out.

Awesome, and I hope you'll keep writing about cycling

Just finished streaming The Bear season 2. It's GREAT. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/26/arts/television/the-bear-review.html
