For Global Bicycle Day, Portuguese Police launched a crackdown on rule-breaking by cyclists, but ended up having to fine 925 drivers instead.

Just 22 cyclists were fined in total in the operation.

Good people of Twitter, can we have a minute to appreciate my Dad's art work? I always tell him how talented he is but I don't think he believes me. He doesn't sell much (because who has money to spend on art at the moment) but I'll show him any positive feedback you have!

It's also important to understand that the tariff rates that foreign countries are supposedly charging us are just made-up numbers. South Korea, with which we have a trade agreement, is not charging a 50% tariff on U.S. exports. Nor is the EU charging a 39% tariff.

Did you know banks actually sell debt to collectors for pennies?

Then, those collectors harass families, profiting off their misery.

In 2020, Michael Sheen bought these debts—but instead of collecting, he erased them.

Here’s how one man saved 900 families:

"My friends, colleagues and I have signed this letter calling for action from the government to save music education. Read our letter and share this post with your followers (tagging @Keir_Starmer) to help us protect and grow music education in and out of schools. https://t.co/DGuGg7T0Ne

We are at a critical point: a future of no music in state schools, no music teachers to teach, broken instruments and no grassroots venues. As a young music student and aspiring artist, I benefited from opportunities in and out of school to learn & grow. Unfortunately, after decades of defunding and de-prioritising, music is no longer a right for all children - it’s a luxury for only a few. Music is key to the UK economy, wellbeing & mental health, communities and young people’s dreams. Talent is everywhere across the UK - I saw it when I visited cities across England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales. But not all young people have the same opportunities – and we want to change that" - Ed x

Ladies and gents, I show you a clever piece of code running an entire bot farm. This is most likely what you're arguing with in triggering/disinfo comments.

There are only 137 fully remote jobs in the entire country with Disability Confident employers. Labour says the benefit cuts are meant to encourage people to work -
@UKLabour, what jobs?

If you were wondering why Colombia is suddenly being bullied by Donald Trump, it’s on the map of the “American Technate” that Elon Musk’s Nazi grandfather wanted to create from Greenland to Colombia.

Chinese scientists created an inhalable ACE2 nanovesicle spray that irreversibly neutralizes SARS-CoV-2

In mice, one dose blocked infection, reduced lung damage, and boosted survival

It also stays in the lungs 20 times longer than current treatments

The big lie of architectural education

Last week I had the opportunity to visit a bucket list place of mine, @LasCatalinas in Costa Rica. This new community was conceived of by @charlesbrew and dates only to 2006 for the property acquisition. So in less than 20 years, his team has built what’s in the photos.

Simply put, the community is gorgeous. It’s humane, being largely car-free. It’s kid-friendly. It’s beautifully integrated into the hilly landscape.

But mostly what was on my mind is what this place tells me about the six years of architecture school I had, way back when….
