ZORHAN IS ONLY PLOWING THE BIKE LANES!!!!

If you want to know how my long-Covid brain is manifesting itself tonight:

Was trying to find the new Doctor Who spin-off on Iplayer and was getting frustrated; until I realised I was - genuinely - searching for ‘Russell Tovey Fucks a Fish’.

bite me
no sorry i mean bite me
wait no i meant bite me

When Space Runs Out: Rethinking the Role of the Car in Dutch Cities Dutch cities are changing rapidly. One of the aims of this blog is to document that change, and there is plenty of work ahead. Much of what I record involves changes to streets: a before-and-after of a reconstructed street is relatively easy to capture in images. Shiny new cycling bridges can steal the show, and a new continuous-cycle route perhaps even more so.

As Dutch cities continue to grow, space is being reallocated to walking, cycling and public transport. Across the Netherlands, the role of the private car is being reconsidered. New blog post and video.

We're copying the UK on this and we need to stop. As per my recent article:

Raised crossings and continuous footpaths are safety and mobility measures -- it's a red flag that some disability campaigners are fighting them irishcycle.com/2026/01/07/r...

My controversial take is that shitty instagramers and tiktokers have been pumping out slop for years before we had algorithms to create it for us. The current slop crisis is simply a symptom of that.

Not your hair matching the water bottle 💀

the more I read and learn and study, the fewer people who have any understanding of my increasingly specific jokes

Threads post from Channel 4: @channel4 Because we did not win the BAFTA for best TV channel ever we have decided to try and claim ITV as ours.

Not for the first time, it looks like Channel 4 just handed the keys to their socials to an evil genius:

There’s no better way to travel to work in London than cycling through the parks.

Beautiful

In 1978 the streets is filled with parked cars, today they have been replaced by a playground, with kids playing

Quellijnstraat, Amsterdam in 1978 and today

I'm staying on Paedophile Island to prove a point actually.

An Urban Arrow cargo bike has nearly the same physical footprint as a Smart car. While the car is marketed as "tiny," the bike is often labeled as "huge" by those used to traditional bicycles. This irony highlights how much space we waste on bloated, car-centric infrastructure.

If you’re a paid user of X, you are now identifiable as having access to a tool that can generate CSAM images, and indeed, are liable for knowingly funding its hosting and development.

Again, "I only make CSAM for money" would not help an ordinary person's defence, but would aggravate their sentencing.

this is how every outlet should refer to X

Just wow! 🤩❄️

Man cycling with a cargo bike on a cycleway that has been cleared of snow and ice while all the rest of the picture is covered in snow.

Rural cycleway cleared of snow and ice.

City intersection with traffic lights. A cycleway crosses a side street. Both are cleared of snow. A woman crosses the street on her bicycle.

Rural cycleway. Cleared of snow while the surrounding fields are covered in snow.

I went for a ride today after it had been snowing for days. Wasn’t sure if the cycleways would be clear.
Guess I forgot I live in the Netherlands…

@wearealexandra.bsky.social Just now looking at my twitch recap from 2025 and guess who!

Gritting cycle paths? That’s not normal for Norfolk! Icy weather causes problems for everyone but what it reveals is the true priorities on our roads

Here we go again. Attempted to cycle into town but gave up halfway. The cycle paths are not gritted.

No change since I wrote this three years ago.

A road cleared of snow with an uncleared cycle path and pavement adjacent.

Entirely unsurprising, but there’s clearly no plan to treat the new multi-million pound cycle path along the North Tyneside coast (or indeed the pavement) - lots of evidence of cyclists though…

In 1979 there are parked cars lining both sides of the road with cars driving on the single tram line in between them. Today it is car free, with two tram lines and wide footways

twitter is a hellscape filled with people ai generating pics of me nude
anyway hello bluesky here’s my friends cute cat (she bites but she’s nice about it)

I hate to be a broken record but if you're still using X, stop. If it becoming a Nazi hivemind wasn't bad enough, now the AI Musk developed at the expense of the health of the community he built his data center in is allowing people to AI generate naked images of children.

Damn I haven't slept all year
