“I was in a wheelchair and I would sit outside in my driveway and people would go by and I felt trapped,” he says. “I can’t walk,” he thought, “but if I can get on my bike, I bet I could ride.” Arthur, you are an inspiration! 🚲❤️ www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Arthur Plummer got a bike when he retired at 65 and joined a cycling club as one of its youngest members. Now he is its oldest but still racking up 5,000km every year

It's outgrouping which creates over-generalisations that the entire group is badly behaved and as such are fair game which reinforces outgrouping. The media is constantly doing this to people who only share a mode of transport (or leisure activity) overgeneralized and often negative beliefs

Not to be some wild-eyed innocent, but I think it should be slightly bigger news that The Lancet have crunched the numbers and found that Musk's USAID cuts will kill 14 million people. And that's just by 2030. That's 9,600 people a day, every day, until the next world cup rolls around.

Cyclists wearing hi vis doesn't significantly improve rider safety for much the same reason that training dogs not to eat homework wouldn't achieve significantly more homework getting handed in.

Reminder to whoever needs to hear it: fast, unimpeded travel is not a constitutional or human right. Including and especially not if it is dark, or the sun is in your eyes, or people might be walking or biking nearby, or even if you are in a rush, or you pay taxes.

Elon at the White House yesterday vs. a scene from Don't Look Up.
Top Image: A large conference room with a long wooden table where several men and women in business attire are seated. Their nameplates and cups rest on the tabletop. An American flag and gold drapes are visible in the background. A man in a dark outfit and baseball cap stands at the head of the table, appearing to address the group.

Bottom Image: A similar formal meeting scene with a rectangular table and people seated around it. A man in a gray jacket stands, speaking to the others, who are looking up at him. Behind them, a painting depicting a historical battle is mounted above a mantel, and an American flag stands near a door. The group appears focused on the speaker.
