Politics, bikes, history, running, economics, music, art, swimming, photography, environment. Culture, an appreciation of beauty, very bad language and barely suppressed rage are my superpowers.

When I started riding this 8th Ave bike lane 13 years ago it was along the curb and pedestrians spilled off the sidewalk into it from penn station to the port authority building during rush hour.

Now there is appropriate pedestrian space (on the west side of the street).

I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is.

People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)

He's bemoaning the end of something which has been explicitly prohibited by our Constitution for more than two centuries.

I love that he explains that he doesn’t need experience in any kind of scholarly reading because he reads β€œbooks” and when pressed about those books says β€œThere were no books.”

Are we to ignore Nathan’s long and distinguished military service for his grateful country?

Oh wait - my mistake: it was actually all those nights he spent playing Call of Doody….

Important to understand that, as someone banned from being a director for four years for failing to pay more than Β£1m in tax, when Ant Middleton says, "Native Brits that have probably paid hundreds of thousands if not millions (like myself) into the British system" he is not talking about himself.

Lost page of legendary Archimedes palimpsest found in France It all started off as a joke, a French researcher told AFP. But what the team found was a piece of historyβ€”a long-lost page from a legendary manuscript by ancient Greek mathematician Archimedes which had been languishing, forgotten, in the archives of a French museum.

A long-lost page from the Archimedes palimpsest has been identified in a French museum, offering new insights into ancient mathematical texts previously thought missing.

Let’s face it, as chief whip Lee Anderson hasn’t actually achieved anything.

He defended a Reform UK MP that repeatedly kicked his girlfriend on the ground, who then quit due to dodgy finance.

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.

They’ll play this in museums in future.

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.

Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.

The 25th is never happening.

Irony is Biden managed to create one of the most lucrative hedge funds that directly benefitted the US taxpayer. The Biden administration sold 180 million barrels of crude from Strategic Reserve in 2022 at $95 pb & lowered fuel costs. Then repurchased oil for reserve at $67 netting huge $$ return

They either didn't know Iran would shut down the Strait of Hormuz or they knew and didn't have a plan.

Either way - just totally clear they don't give a damn about what this war means for hardworking Americans.

At this very moment in time wind is generating 60% of our electricity demand - 20.8 GW. Where is Farage going to magic supply up from when his bunch of clowns destroy the wind turbines and before they can start building oil fields, gas fields and power stations?
