New Study Shows How Paris Pedaled Its Way to a Cycling Revolution Cycling through central Paris meant weaving between buses and scooters—a bold choice reserved for the fearless few.

“When streets became calmer & safer, more people felt comfortable trying a bike commute for the first time. Families began pedaling to the park…Local businesses saw new life…And cycling stopped feeling like a niche activity—it became part of everyday Parisian life.”

I bet there’s hundreds of thousands of people who were born in the uk who would fail these tests. Are we going to deport them?

Larry Ellison predicts rise of the modern surveillance state where ‘citizens will be on their best behavior’ | Fortune Oracle's Larry Ellison believes citizens and police alike will be under constant surveillance of each other.

Larry Ellison envisions a surveillance state in which techbros rule. '“Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we’re constantly recording and reporting everything that is going on,” Ellison said in an hour-long Q&A during Oracle’s Financial Analyst Meeting last week.'

How’s he going to see the dead bodies without that massive light ?

Call the police, there’s been a murder… #Lab25

Great turnout at today’s Kidical Mass ride in Orleans, Ottawa. Shows there’s an appetite for cycling outside the core.

Ok. They’ve pissed me off.

I’m back to tell you 3 things about ID cards:

1. Migrants ALREADY HAVE biometric ID cards & govts have been trying to digitise them for years w repeated fuckups & failures causing complete chaos - they don’t work, you do not want that system for you.

Joey and Phoebe meme. Phoebe instructing Joey to say "Fix the economy and public services" with him at the end instead saying "Digital national ID cards!"

Cyclists gather around a tandem bike painted white and affixed to flowers, on the side of a suburban highway. One is wearing a hoodie with print “we aren’t blocking traffic we are traffic”

Two weeks ago, Kerry and Egor were taken from us by a reckless driver and known dangerous infrastructure. Tonight we went with their families and installed their tandem ghost bike.

How the simmering UK freedom of speech row reached boiling point How did we reach a point where the UK is being compared to a 'tin pot Third World dictatorship'?

What on Earth is this? An "in depth" BBC article about free speech in the UK that only cites examples of right-wing/ 'anti-woke' speech being suppressed. How can you mention Lucy Connolly but completely ignore Palestine Action / Just Stop Oil? Gob-smacking. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Insane! So glad you got it back - such lovely people!

Look at Lord Admiral Fellatio Nelson here with his epaulettes, cravat, mad hair and racist bullshit, getting handed his arse by Bonnie Greer.

That's amazing - was it just literally abandoned by the side of the road?

Plugge is probably a caring manager but he has blinders on and is not a great thinker. He has more money (at his disposal) than sense and gets duly eviscerated by @defector.com 's Patrick Redford. #LaVuelta25 #procycling

It’s an absolute corker!

Jimmy Kimmel wasn't being totally factually inaccurate, but more to he point, *he was telling a joke.* Censorship of comedians is pretty textbook authoritarian behavior.

I’m not sure how I feel about Kimmel’s replacement, tbh.

Pretty much the prefect video for our times. They insist their tech is about to reach the level of self-awareness but it still autocorrects were for we're.
