Did any of our cities make the top 500?
Wrocław has become the first city in Poland to be ranked among the top 30 in the world for bike-friendliness.
The authors of the Copenhagenize Index praised Wrocław for "years of building safer, more accessible routes" for cyclists.
Poznań, Warsaw, Gdańsk and Łódź also made it into the top 100.

Thanks @denalisam.bsky.social Great way to take a break from work and politics. Spread the word everyone.
Today I’ve linked to LIVE cams watching brown bears at a river in SW Alaska & LIVE undersea views at a reef in Honduras.
Now I’ll deliver you to LIVE bird watching at Canopy Lodge in Panama. Don’t be surprised if you see more than birds at this tropical LIVE cam!

🧵Spotted On Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand:
Two men (40s & 50s?) meet in a bustling market:
The first says: "Hey Buddy."
The second says: "Hey."
The first says: "Bought a dingy."
The second says: "Fishing?"
The first says: "Yeah.
The second says: "Done."
Satisfied, they part ways. (1)

When #FossilFriday is also Black Friday, one looks for black fossils ... bonus points if they were apparently purchased from a science supplier like Wards. This on is a large specimen of Maclurites, an Ordovician taxon generally believed to be sedentary, suspension feeding gastropods.

Apparently I can't get on Medicaid despite having no income right now simply because "I had a job earlier this year".
What is anyone supposed to do after they lose their job? JFC.
I need to see doctors and get med refills.
