There’s one near me:
Unfortunately it’s almost impossible to use because it’s so close to the railing that the bike needs to be extremely tilted over to avoid hitting the railing with the pedals and handlebars. Also, as it’s only on one side, you need to walk on the drive-side of the bike on the way down, which is annoying.

Call who skeets?

Posts on Bluesky are unofficially called skeets by a lot of people there. Each new wave brings people who hate it and try to get people to call it something else.
ETA:
Skeeting even made the news. There’s a video in the skeet below.

I wonder if that’s easier or more difficult than catching your own.

Over the years so far, we’ve caught two in our yard and delivered them to collection places. Also saw one in a hole in the garden, being devoured by a millipede.

I had already read this story from elsewhere and that headline is clickbait. She asked him what his legacy will be, and he mentioned that he’s not concerned about that. That it’s a vanity thing to worry about “will others think of me when i’m gone”. That’s pretty much it, her and Tyson reportedly get along well enough that he’s done a few interviews with her when he’s famously difficult to get him to agree to be interviewed.

Eh, it’s not really clickbait. He goes pretty dark in his response, but what’s refreshing is how calmly and non-condescendingly he delivers this live-in-the-moment message, and how well she receives it as unusually blunt honesty. I bet they do get along great.

The headline makes it seem like Tyson is specifically telling the kid they’re going to die, that’s not that the exchange is. The headline while technically true, is misrepresenting what is being said.
On the flipside here’s a reasonable, less clickbaity headline

I imagine we’re not going to agree on this, but I don’t really find the AV Club’s headline misleading enough to be clickbaity at all. The only reason either of those articles exist is because the journalist is a kid, and Tyson is calmly and rationally discussing mortality and a kind of existential futility of considering his legacy, without sugarcoating it in the least, as if she were as old and world-weary as he is. It’s unusual to see that around young people; some might think it nearly nihilistic, though I do not. Anyway, both headlines evoke that surprising aspect of their conversation, though again her calm, professional, and encouraging reaction belies any shock we might have expected her to feel. Says more about us than her, maybe.
