For new followers, I'm on this platform since 2009 posting about Jewish/Israeli stuff, but be prepared, I also post about pro-cycling. If you are not interested in those posts (or the inverse), scroll by. There is little joy over the past 18 months, but we find it where we can. For me, it's in this sport.
Agree with every word. This year's women's Giro was so good, I didn't want it to end. But I loved the ending. Demi is a goddess on a bike. Her humanity, humor, kindness adds to the pleasure of seeing her win.
Grand Tour set: done.
10th rider in history, second female after Annemiek van Vleuten.
Absolutely mental last stage, absolutely insane outcome, this whole Giro was women's cycling at it's absolute best.
And Demi Vollering... I feel like she has more in store for August and with such a team behind her, it's going to be difficult to defeat Demi.

Trump to Netanyahu after Iran attack: 'Don't retaliate, make a deal' https://t.co/c64Gbl8Cz9 He can go fuck himself. He thinks that we can deal with terrorists who want us dead. In and out of safe rooms all night across Israel. Our lives mean nothing to him, same as the mullahs in Iran. He is FDR or worse, Obama, all over again.
Flashback: A โGay for Palestineโ activist showed up at a pro-Hamas march in Amsterdam organized by the local Muslim community, thinking he was supporting a progressive cause.
He was quickly reminded of reality. The Muslim protesters rejected him outright, calling him an enemy of Allah and saying: โWe are Muslims, you disgust us.โ
In 1979, the mullahs tortured the Shah's favourite horse to death.
The horse, Azar, was paraded in the streets. They broke his legs, cut his tongue out, and then shot him in the head in front of a large crowd.
Iran is occupied by demons from hell.
Dear @bbcnews@skynews
Yesterday a @UN peacekeeper was killed in Lebanon- and two others were injured - yet oddly you mostly ignored it. No outrage - no headlines.
Is your silence because they were killed by Hezbollah and you couldn't blame Israel?

Wow! โก Kol hakavod. I am below 4000 now. Lost 1000. Losing more every day because, I think, some Israel/Jew advocates don't like my cycling content, as if we Israelis are not allowed to have any other interests. We live our lives, feel joy, watch sports, & don't wallow in "woe is me". Just scroll by. But remember, most of my non-cycling followers don't live here, so shutting down our voices because we live our lives fully is your loss from not hearing from real non-anonymous Israeli voices. Now on to watch the Giro women. ๐

Itโs been a long old road to recovery but weโre pleased to confirm BLING IS BACK! ๐ช๐ผ The Australian will line up in his first race back this weekend since his nasty training crash where he sustained fractures to both wrists.
If you've never woken up to sirens, never held a door handle shut while terrorists tried to break in, shooting at you and setting your home on fire with your entire family inside, and never seen people slaughtered in the streets by monsters with machetes, then shut the fuck up and stop lecturing us on how to deal with terrorism.
Douglas Murray:
"Imagine what kind of a psychopath you have to be to gang rape a girl and then shoot her in the head. Most won't be proud of that, but Hamas is."
The vast majority of Gazans celebrated this.
