Incredibly proud of Junior Lecerf 🙌 After a huge effort, he finishes eighth overall at the UAE Tour - his best result so far in a World Tour race 👏

This is a good, in-depth report on how SpaceX is impacting the biodiversity, local people and heritage of the town around StarBase. The whole thing feels like pharma pushing oxycodone to people who don't have the tools to make the right choices. And honestly, the FAA should've done more ....

Race underway, follow it live here ⤵️

Guy who doesn’t even respond to the mothers of his children: reply to my email or you’re fired

"Checkmate" derives ultimately from a Persian term 'Shāh Māt', which means "the king is stumped/helpless" probably as an Arabic corruption of the Persian word for "died/defeated", 'mata'. So it's supposed to be "your king is defeated" but actually means closer to "your king is confused".

Trump: "We were the richest relatively -- think of this -- from 1870 to 1913. That was our richest. Because we collected tariffs ... we had so much wealth. Of course, now we give it away to transgender ... everybody gets a transgender operation."

The Saudi One Cycling project lately seems to be something that’s perpetually tomorrow but gather the plan is announce something in April-May if the UCI can approve the outlines at a meeting next month. Article below says new races planned for 2026 with ticketing for fans (🇳🇱)

DAAAAAAD SHE'S TOUCHING ME AGAIN

They definitely should appoint Georges as their new DS, would do a great job 😆 (asking his dad how come he was only 8th, and if he had tried going past the others) That kid is so cute

Don't forget, in summer 1987 NYC mayor Ed Koch announced a bicycle ban in midtown. Slow-ride protests led by bike messengers fought the ban, & city residents sided with the cyclists. The ban was lifted before it ever went into effect. nyc.streetsblog.org/2012/08/07/t... 📷Carl Hultberg

CNT anarchist trade union poster. Madrid. 1936-38. The train advances towards the future crushing capitalism and fascism under its wheels. Beautiful artwork by artist signing as "Iturzaeta".

#UAETour - Novak and Pogacar got bored and tried opening an echelon at 72 to go today. Not enough wind atm, attempt immediately closed

Americans proposed that Ukraine concede half of the profits from its mineral rights in perpetuity... in exchange for essentially nothing. This is not a monetary proposition, let alone a "deal," but rather the demand that Ukraine become a permanent American colony. snyder.substack.com/p/recoup-the...

He is going to be losing it for hours that a woman stood up to defy him very publicly! Wait for the incoherent babbling that will come from his socials. But also — why did everyone sit there in silence? Boo! Hiss! Get up and walk out! Make him feel like the loser that he is …

Elon Musk is continuing to go after Astronauts that are disputing and debunking his claims that the Biden administration intentionally left Butch and Suni on the ISS for political reasons, despite the fact that they were rolled into the standard crew rotation to reduce impact to the station.

Even if you disagree with him, this is still an authoritarian injustice meted out on a sincere and committed man of the cl- No I can't do it with a straight face Hahahahahahahahaha

Given what has happened so far with Doge, this should be read as Labour and the Tories wanting to: - Completely erase LGBTQ people - Stop funding research into women's health or climate change - Dismantle any safety monitoring of water, food, etc - Illegally fire public workers en masse

This is very close to my understanding of the progress of transphobia as a political movement. Recalling the time in 2016 when it was the obsession of the anti-sjw types. The alt-right. Then mums get got infected and it became mainstream.

Good and truly scary article Hopefully, it's going to wake up some editors that the threat to women in on the fascist misogynist right and not trans people and their allies... And if you think my point is irrelevant, look at the processes of exclusion www.theguardian.com/news/2025/fe...

Keep shaming them for this. I don't mean Musk, Bannon and the other turds doing the Sieg Heil very openly and purposely (we know they are Nazis). I mean the GOP members who people elect. They should not be able to get away with it and they should not be normalizing this. We know what comes next.
