Ride With Chris 🏳️‍🌈 @ridewithchris.bsky.social · Nov 13
Hello, person who clicked on my profile! Here is where I bicycled in the Before Times. Maybe someday, let's hope, I can add to this. In the meantime, hang around for ... well, that would be spoilers.

Today is pride festival day in southern Utah. (Ours is late because of our stupidly infernal summer heat!) If you can deal with crowds, showing up even for a few minutes would be a great way to show that, even here, especially here, we won't be silent.

PRIDE in the park — Pride of Southern Utah
Mark your calendars! Pride in the Park returns to St. George this September for a day of entertainment, food, vendors and activities.

If you've got a bankroll and want to take on iHeart or Audacy somewhere and launch a scrappy fun little civic-minded adventurous station that punches way above its weight, hey, I'm all ears. 🤣😇

Season 11 of Radio M is a backdoor format demo for "AAA reinvented": what adult-alternative could still be if it hadn't been consultant'ed down into bland conformity. 13 hours so far, 6am-7pm, dayparted and immersive.

Win: Went in for my Covid shot, ended up with a free MMR shot too. The bandages were not my choice. 🙂
(Already got my flu shot on Tuesday.)

Wow! New from Colin Newman *and* Malka Spigel of Minimal Compact (for which Colin produced in the 80s). In 2026! "Radio Signals" is almost comically on-point, an instant grabber of a song.

An absolutely beautiful new song from Bonobo, with Joy Crookes on vocals. Album was new just last week.
(Canada Week bonus! Bonobo also did the theme music to the quirky CBC games-industry comedy-drama jPod. 🇨🇦)

After my super-extra-crappy night of doomscrolling and existential dread last night, tonight's new episode of #AlleMot1 is exactly what I need right now! 🇳🇴
Photo of TV showing the NRK continuity announcer announcing the impending start of tonight's Alle Mot 1. English caption reads "A competition now, too, for the whole family!"

Only 30mi, but my most emotionally challenging ride in ages, because of *waves hands* all the bullshit. ALC rules be damned, Radio M kept me company and helped me finish. All this bullshit isn't sustainable; something's gotta give, and fast, and I hope it begins with The Event We're All Waiting For.

Pleasantly surprised to see that Rose-Hulman is a sponsor of this year's pride festival in Terre Haute. (It's a small piece of positive news I desperately need tonight in the wake of the N*zis falsely claiming they just took over Gr**nl*nd.)
Flyer for Terre Haute Pride Fest, Saturday, October 3, noon–6 PM at Fairbanks Park in Terre Haute, Indiana. It lists entertainment, drag shows, LGBTQ+ vendors and resources, food vendors, activities, sponsors, performers, an after-party, bus drop-off, and QR codes for tickets/info and T-shirts.

You might think it's inspired, you might think it's heresy; either way, it's oddly compelling. (And to me, it evokes just a tiny bit of FGTH's "Two Tribes," particularly the symphonic aspect.)

I'm quite proud of these. It wasn't my original intent, but I find Orion to be totally *huggable.* They're my favorite new addition to the station!

Similar to all those "Family Feud highlights" channels, Sony appears to be running a 24/7 livestream (en español, por supuesto) of "best moments" from original 2010s (Rafa Mercadante / Adi Hernández) Escape Perfecto MX. It holds up surprisingly well!

I never looked deeply into later-period Single Gun Theory until today ... and now I have a new favorite Single Gun Theory song. Dreamy, check. Electronic, check. Mildly rhythmic, check. Beautiful, check. It all checks out! #RediscoverRadio
