The cycleway in the Netherlands goes behind a petrol station to avoid any conflict with vars coming in or out of the petrol station. Such a small detail, but it makes cycling safer and more seamless, just smart, stress-free design. This is how you do infrastructure right.

The post by Marco Rubio
Met with Danish Foreign Minister Rasmussen in Brussels today to talk about the defense priorities shared by our two nations. We discussed the importance of increasing burden sharing within NATO and addressing threats to the Alliance.
A post by Lars Løkke Rasmussen

Honest and direct meeting with @SecRubio yesterday. I made it crystal clear that claims and statements about annexing Greenland are not only unacceptable and disrespectful. They amount to a violation of international law.

This is what you call two different readouts of the same meeting.

Go Denmark, Go Greenland!

Finally, @theglobeandmail.com publishes someone who knows a lot of history, in sharp contrast to most of their sophomoric fulltime pundits.

One of the greatest wins corporate PR pulled off in the U.S. is convincing the vast majority of journalists that an activist is biased and agenda-driven and thus an unreliable source, but a CEO must be quoted in every story in order to lend it credibility and "balance."

I think all winter cities suffer from this. The Edmonton city councillor who sponsored our WinterCity Strategy claimed that the messy, dirty, freeze-thaw period of early spring “gives winter a bad name”. 😄

Not hard to understand, but hard to ‘read’. If we used the Dutch red carpet as a standard for bike lanes in Canada, it would make reading the separate spaces so much easier. Also, it would be easier for maintenance crews to realise they weren’t clearing the sidewalk fully.

Hey friends.
This is just between 1200 of you and me.
If you think my back alley bakery is a worthwhile business that should exist into the future, would you be so kind as to place an order online?
If not, that's cool too.

Newspaper article from June 1987 with George Takei and fans wearing George Takei masks. Article heading: Stuck on Sulu. George Takei face mask.

Was sorting through an old box and came across these. @georgetakei.bsky.social hoping this evokes happy memories! 🖖

Edmonton, Canada, June 1987.

Seven Lime e-bikes lined up ready to be rented. Lime bike skirt guard has snowflakes on it and reads: Real Canadians can Lime through it. Lime responsibly this winter: stay warm, visible and safe. Label inside the Lime bike basket with information about the pilot project and a QR code for providing feedback. Like bike winter tires.

Lime is running a pilot project in #yeg this winter! They’ve changed the tires to help with riding on snow and ice. #wintercying #yegbike #wintercity

Woman riding bike, pulling trailer with Christmas tree in it. Corgi dog looks on. Many women wearing fancy clothes riding bikes for Edmonton, Canada's Fancy Women Bike Ride 2020.

Bright red wool coat for #TreeByBike, of course. And nothing's more fabulous than @ethnographer.bsky.social's coat for the #yegbike @fancywomenbikeyeg.bsky.social
