(sort of, I am surprised that there's not a high speed city courier game, set in the 80s, all beepers and poster tubes, custom stickers, chopped handlebars, lots of outfits, set in NYC obvs)

I want to believe, but a bicycle is *not* 75x heavier than a helicopter, which is what this graph shows...
This is not my beautiful yak!
It's almost like they have vested interests in promoting its extraction!

"This is classic Negotiating 101 courtesy of the Faceless God himself. Sure, he may have kicked it up a notch from 'sheer madness' to 'abject depravity,' but that's for the pundits to debate."
So, nasers? Right?
Sir, a second bird is at the feeder
Scene is WAITROSE CUSTOMER SERVICES DESK. Behind it is a staff member, whose name we will soon learn is BECKY. She is dealing with a customer, for now out of shot, while talking to her manager on the phone. BECKY [on phone]: Yeah, hiya... 2 BECKY: Yes I have a customer here who wants to complain about the Easter eggs. 3 BECKY [putting hand over receiver while addressing the customer stood at the desk in front of her]: Sorry what was your name again? 4 [Pull back to show the customer is a very tall, green-skinned, PAGAN GODDESS, festooned with flowers. Stood next to her is her son, a normal human teenager in a hoodie, who looks mortified by his mum.] PAGAN GODDESS: Eostre the Pagan Goddess of Fertility 5 BECKY Sorry - Your name is Easter…? PAGAN GODDESS: Eostre. 6 [Vicky pauses, trying to take this in]. VICKY: Your name is Easter and you want to complain about the Easter eggs. 7 PAGAN GODDESS: Sorry love, what’s your name? BECKY: Becky PAGAN GODDESS: Well, Vicky - 8 PAGAN GODDESS: If it was you who’d shagged the solar god of the Equinox to give birth to an actual living god - my son Darren here - TEENAGE BOY: Muuum… 9 PAGAN GODDESS: ….only to have all your efforts totally forgotten by history, you’d have a complaint too! 10 PAGAN GODDESS: Aisle four is full of products, with no hint of the true meaning of the festival! 11 BECKY: You mean… Jesus…? PAGAN GODDESS: I mean shagging, Vicky. 12 PAGAN GODDESS: Is it too much to see just a little bit of pre-Christian sex in Aisle 4? TEENAGE BOY: MUUUUM [Ends]
Happy Ēostre!

Haha, and now I see the last post and that seems like a great pairing!
What whisky goes with Sakura? Something fairly light - something nicely sherried?
A black-and-white comic strip featuring a child asking his dad for a traffic safety poster slogan. The dad enthusiastically suggests a slogan promoting cyclists' rights and criticizing motorists, saying "I hope gas goes p to $8 a gallon". The child responds by deciding to ask his mom instead.
It's finally happening!

Another great turnout at @edcriticalmass.bsky.social today, and a wee trip down to #Leith to admire the Leith Connections works and to demand safer streets for everyone.
Thanks as ever to the organisers & blockers. 🙏 🚲 🔔
A white bicycle with a flag saying "Critical Mass" secured to a Sheffield stand. There's a path behind it, a tree without leaves, and a large gothic building behind that.
My heart swells when riding with @edcriticalmass.bsky.social - such a joyful parade of lovely people out to demand better provision for cyclists in our city!
Saturday fun times!
Pfft, the fork is bait, you're being reeled in to take the test of how you bring it up without sounding like an asshole.
The rider is an expert mechanic, and totally trolling you.
I used to hate country music, but there's something about the world weary lyrics and phased guitars that I love:

I feel obligated to bring up this article - my favourite bit of typeface hunting - an excellent read if you've not already done so:

I've got a joke about Odysseus - an absolute blinder that nobody saw coming!
Stay for the unironic homoeroticism; leave for the casual homophobia.
I love this movie so much, but the eighties are a wild ride to revisit.
Cannot believe I'd not seen this before now
They absolutely need to bring in a size or mass based tax boost for these tanks - no reason for anyone to own such stupid and dangerous vehicles
I heard stories of people who've fed crows, and been given gifts in return. It sounded charming, so I began doing that.
Then, one night, there was a rapping on my bedroom window. I stumbled up and opened.
A crow flew in and spoke: "They're coming for you. You must flee."
I only just made it out.
A goat who lives behind my house, who is angling her neck awkwardly in a rather pathetic and desperate attempt to see my television set and catch the finale of season 7 of The Gilmore Girls.

The meme thing of Agent Dale Cooper saying: “Diane, 11:30 a.m., February 24th. Entering the town of Twin Peaks.” Only it’s Tim Robinson from I THINK YOU SHOULD LEAVE
A tall and solid pig who is selflessly allowing his shorter friend to lean on him so he can obtain a clearer view of the beginning of what is promising to be one of the most attractive sunsets of the year.

Some excellent pigs I have met on walks in the British countryside.
