So much the worse given that Iran was only bombed in order to distract from the Epstein files. All this death and destruction, only to save Trump's fat white ass.

1 million species face extinction because we treat ecosystems like infinite warehouses. They’re not. They’re communities we depend on. Education is resistance. Action is non-negotiable. Demand #EcocideLaw now.

See point #3 Why Cycling Rules in the Netherlands Perfect Infrastructure – Safe bike paths, traffic signals, and parking make cycling convenient. Flat Terrain – No hills, no sweat—perfect for all ages. Affordability – Bikes cost less than cars, making them a practical choice for everyone.

'As the president of this institution I share responsibility for this unfortunate incident, and will do all that I can to prevent similar happenings in the future' How hard can it be to man up, and take a stand?

JD Vance called Hasan Nidal's attack "the second worst terrorist attack in American history," behind only the 9/11 attacks. Vance chose to ignore the 167 people killed (including many tiny kids) and 674 people wounded in the Oaklahoma City bombing. I guess White Christian terrorism doesn't count.

Calling kids “cum trophies.” Throwing his toddler son across a room. Causing his toddler daughter’s fractured collarbone. Sexually abusing a minor. These are just some of the serious allegations against 5 MAGA Republican candidates. This is not normal. This is madness. Vote Blue.

Electric bikes are treated the same as petrol ones here in South Africa. Bear in mind that SA is considerably larger than the UK. Distances somewhat longer from A to B, and f-all in between 🙂

Good for Paris. But the cycling culture started way before the 80's in the Netherlands. My grandad cycled everywhere in his day. In Edam, and then Amsterdam. When he emigrated to South Africa in 1935 the sheer distances and the terrain between A & B put paid to that.

So, all you have to do is change the entire culture ... away from 4 wheels to 2. How long did it take, and when did it begin in Amsterdam I wonder?

At speed, yes, and with the comfort and safety of far more rubber between rim and tar.

My biking days are over, but they generally involved other people, and were definitely much fun, especially into areas where cars would not venture.

And if you enjoy the riding exeperience, as I do, you can go 25k on a full electric bike.

In my personal experience, in the Eastern Cape, nannies said 'beta wena' to their charges. In the old Transvaal they said 'lokshaya wena'. In Natal they say 'bulala wena'.

And why would I want to pedal an e-bike if I go full electric bike for no effort at all?

Simple. Amsterdam offers itself to biking by people all ages, sizes and fitness levels by virtue of its being all but completely flat. No huffing no puffing no pumping no sweat. Grandma can do 4km out and back in a long skirt and flat shoes. How many cities in the world offer that level of ease?

Nick Sortor is a know-nothing wannabe, desperate to break into the big-time influencer league. He is a tosser.

Nick Sortor is the guy that flew to Hawaii to publicly confront the Mayor of Lahaina about the 1,000 missing children that were never actually missing. He lies for a living.

Nick Sortor is the guy that flew all the way to Hawaii to confront officials - on camera - about 1,000 missing children ... that were never missing. Same guy that claimed on X that Hurricane Helene was steered and controlled by malign forces linked to Biden. and so on and so forth.

Haven't heard the term in a while, but back then Rhodesians were called "whenwe's" in South Africa ... as in 'when we lived in Rhodesia'.

The planet isn't "dying" of natural causes. Forests don't just disappear. They are logged. Oceans don't just choke. They are polluted. Rivers don't just dry up. They are diverted. This is not a tragedy. It's ecocide. And ecocide should be a crime. #StopEcocide
