Just gladiated against a flock of white man taking the entire sidewalk while women were forced to take the streets. What a scene. So I said loud enough: “amazing, we are men, we take the entire sidewalk, fantastic” Why am I always the one that needs to get out of my way, even when I’m limping. #tech

Tired. Elections. Tired Tired of hearing: why did she drink? Why they were not wearing a helmet? Quebec elections tomorrow. Hoping racists get less power than now.

On the #cornell unraging case, this lawyer elucidates that it’s better to intervene and avoid a crime than being the witness on a litigation. So, men, if you cannot be moral, be at least practical. Do something before! Ladies and gentlemen, happens everyday. www.instagram.com/reel/Dd9NQKG...

“I don’t like to stay passive. I like to hurt the others and to make them suffer.” 😤Elisa Longo Borghini (@elisalongob) giving a masterclass in aggressive racing logic:1. Passive riding guarantees you won’t win.2. Taking risks might mean losing, but you never go down without a fight.3. If someone beats you, make sure they had to work for it.Would you rather attack and risk blowing up, or play it tactical and protect a podium position?Share this with a training partner who needs to hear this today.Elisa Longo Borghini post-Worlds press conference breakdown on tactical risk-taking, attacking tactics, and podium battles in elite cycling.

@aircanada.bsky.social baggage handlers are my favourite. Thank you for taking awesome care of Hilma af Hampsten. Btw, I added a sticker to my box that says: ‘Hey crush, don’t crush’. I hope the humour was appreciated #montreal2026 #bikes

There was a time when a bad life choice was to party too hard, now it’s timing caffeine intake. Both bring a lot of regrets the morning after, but I prefer the former.

Things I learned to neglect since early age: asthma, noises, romance. Asthma sometimes reminds me of the little girl that could have cried in the corner, had she allowed herself to do so. Nothing inhaler, earplugs and Simone de Beauvoir cannot fix.

On purpose, I didn’t read how to operate the Garmin computer because the #hci researcher in me wanted to see how intuitive the interface is. Mamma Mia, it’s awful. I’m so used to the intuitiveness of Apple design that this hurts. So much mental load, horrible ergonomics, ugly graphical interface.

My father, the worst person I know, came up with another pearl today: “I didn’t go to x’s funeral, they won’t go to mine.” He was being serious. And then people ask me how to I cope with bad people in tech, they are moot, compared to my father.

If people are tired of pro bike races like the Tour de France being decided even before it starts, maybe try following women's pro bike races, where the Tour de France Femmes has had a different winner each year since its launch. The race starts tomorrow! www.letourfemmes.fr/en/
A black-and-text image set against a plain white background containing two tables listing Tour de France winners. The top section, titled **Tour de France Femmes**, lists four winners with columns for **Year**, **Winner**, **Country**, and **Team**: 2025 winner Pauline Ferrand-Prévot (France, Visma–Lease a Bike), 2024 winner Kasia Niewiadoma (Poland, Canyon–SRAM Racing), 2023 winner Demi Vollering (Netherlands, Team SD Worx), and 2022 winner Annemiek van Vleuten (Netherlands, Movistar Team). Below it, the section titled **Tour de France** lists seven men's classification winners with identical column headers: 2026 winner Tadej Pogačar (Slovenia, UAE Team Emirates), 2025 winner Tadej Pogačar (Slovenia, UAE Team Emirates), 2024 winner Tadej Pogačar (Slovenia, UAE Team Emirates), 2023 winner Jonas Vingegaard (Denmark, Jumbo–Visma), 2022 winner Jonas Vingegaard (Denmark, Jumbo–Visma), 2021 winner Tadej Pogačar (Slovenia, UAE Team Emirates), and 2020 winner Tadej Pogačar (Slovenia, UAE Team Emirates).

Running shoes are the ugliest garment possible. I used to be cool and run on barefoot shoes, now I need to be gentle with baby nerves and weak calves. So, I’ll be wearing ugly as hell. I can still be cool though.

If you say so? Correlation? causation? Confounds?. If one’s muscles can keep the party on, there may be fun. What about pain? What about ability to even being able to start? Dangerous isolated claims.

Women’s use of AI is perceived as a sign of incompetence, while men’s use of AI is seen as an indication of initiative. 🤦🏻‍♂️
forbes.com
Women Who Use AI Seen As Incompetent; Men Who Use AI Seen As Pragmatic
A 2026 study found that when women and men use AI tools to create identical resumes, evaluators view the women as less competent, while crediting the men with initiative.

A very peculiar playground in Uruguay.
Goats on a playground. While one is trying to climb in the playground platform, the other is being territorial and saying: you cannot pay in here. You read well… goats.

No one knows what 2026 will look like in the WNBA. Players are still in contentious negotiations with the league over a new collective bargaining agreement, with an Oct. 31 deadline approaching.
washingtonpost.com
For Mercury, Aces, the present is the WNBA Finals. The future is unknown.
As championship series begins, front offices have no idea what the league will look like with nearly every player set to be a free agent ahead of a new CBA.

My Canadian favourites: 1. Not asking where anyone is from, specially not “originally from”! 2. Complaining no stop about the weather 3. Eating bagels going back home from a soirée 4. Normalizing frequent apologies. Happy Canada Day: elbows up! #ItsACanadianThing

Sometimes I see a study being shared and think "we've already seen this result, is this an older one being reshared?", I click through & see that no, this is a newer study further confirming even "mild" covid can have at least a full year's negative impact (here, on your brain). Mask up, friends 😷❤️
