this week in stupid: September 13 edition: folks, if you’re a MAGA, and you’re determined to mace the shit out of protestors who showed up to an anti-ICE demonstration, it helps to know which end of the doohicky the spray comes out of.

I feel stupid for asking this… but is there still no good way to checkout and later pull a pull request branch from another repo?
We've got `gh pr checkout NUMBER` but the only way I've found to fetch updates is to delete the local branch and start over.
I really don't want to play adlib with manually adding remotes etc – is this still the best we can do in 2025??
EDIT: it’s solved! 🎉

How much energy we could save if hotels just stopped enclosing room fridges along with the heat they put off inside cupboards?

I learned early about the intrusive operations of state power in the daily routines of domestic life:
there were unexpected visits from the FBI, subpoenas served, telephones tapped, subversive books wrapped in brown paper and stuffed in the back of closets, hushed conversations (in Yiddish, the household language of secrecy) between my parents.
On the day of my father’s firing, when he called to report the news,
I overheard my mother “congratulate” him in an ironic tone, …

“…across social media, extraordinary scenes keep surfacing - unarmed men & women staring down heavily armed masked men. People getting out of their cars or running out of restaurants to confront ICE agents.
…not lone individuals who suddenly snap. This is grassroots non-violent resistance. When the rule of law has failed in the courts and in democracy, ordinary people have stepped up to defend their neighbours.”

Because the problem is in the infrastructure, I’d ask my fellow cyclists and urbanists to make sure any fist-shaking about these vehicles is directed toward •improving infrastructure• instead of •policing novel vehicles•.
I can easily imagine a backlash to these vehicles at the city Council meeting turning into rules that make it harder to get better vehicles on the street.
Instead, the reaction I’d like to see to these UPS cargo-bike-adjacent thingers is “Great!! Obviously they’re a problem in these too-narrow bike we’ve stuffed onto road shoulders, so where can we put them?”
