Nick 🚴🏻‍♂️🍳I'm contemplating a bike tour between Washington DC and Pittsburgh along the GAP and C&O canal towpath. It's 333 miles total and virtually all trail. There is Amtrak bike service along the route, meaning I could bike one way and take the train back. Lots of variables up in the air now so just curious if anyone out there has done this ride or has tips. <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BikeTooter</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/amtrak" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#amtrak</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/bicycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bicycle</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/biketouring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#biketouring</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cycling</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/WashingtonDC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WashingtonDC</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/pittsburgh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pittsburgh</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/GAPTrail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GAPTrail</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/potomac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#potomac</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/trail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trail</a>

BroadwaybabytoA few brief words about the American Airlines flight 5342 crash in Washington DCIt’s important to remember that not everything we see or read on social media is true. News happens fast when there’s a disaster of this magnitude, and a lie makes its way around the world before the truth can put its boots on. Be careful what you’re sharing and who you’re amplifying. Family and loved ones of people who were on that plane are no doubt on social media too. Don’t add to their trauma. If you can, include a trigger warning if sharing the video. It’s painful and difficult to watch and many people would rather not see it. Wait for search and rescue to do their job. We don’t want to give people false hope or unnecessarily panic them either. I assume a bigger conversation will happen in the coming days, but it is worth noting that Trump fired the heads of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the Coast Guard, and disbanded the Aviation Security Advisory Committee.It’s way too soon to know what happened, but this is an example of why the WAY the Trump admin are governing is so dangerous. They’re executing so many freezes, firings and executive orders so quickly that people can’t keep up. They’ve exhausted and stressed out the public to the point that critical news will be missed. I suspect many of us didn’t know about his TSA and aviation security firings until this crash happened. This is one more reason to follow and support credible, dedicated independent journalists who you can trust to keep you well informed during these increasingly hectic and disinformation heavy times. <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/uspoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#uspoli</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/airplanecrash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#airplanecrash</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/aaflight5342" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aaflight5342</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/flight5342" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#flight5342</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/potomac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#potomac</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/tsa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tsa</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/flightraffic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#flightraffic</a>
