SERIOUSLY, WATCH THIS: If you really want to understand how huge SUVs and pick-up trucks have ended up being MOST of the vehicles out there in our cities, and the absolutely INSANE consequences of that, watch this easy-to-watch video by #NotJustBikes. Then please share it as much as you can.

This very clever individual has created a way to convert an architect’s dreamy rendering into an approximation of gritty reality. Phone pasting doesn’t work, alas.

AntiRender - Reality Hits Different

If you like riding the @bromptonbicycle.bsky.social , you probably like pens and post cards and ink and journals. YES, we keep on being a Brompton shop during this Pop-Up!
It’s a little analog stationery bash, inside a bike shop, just a block from the @phillyprfm !

This ad for marriage equality in Australia dropped in 2011 or so. Another great short movie telling a compelling story. Luckily it’s nostalgia. #marriageequality youtu.be/_TBd-UCwVAY?...

McDonald’s (Netherlands, a famously secular country) did a AI-produced downer Christmas ad in 2025. The clip shows the 45 sec ad in full midway. It’s no Norwegian Post Office Santa ad, not as bad as people say youtu.be/U8ixeFUD6aM?...

The loss of my long-time knit cap hit me hard. Old yarn formed the newer one from a few days ago. This was 2025 money I put out for this wool - worsted weight. No pattern, which is why there are pitbull ears and a reservoir tip. #gaycrochet #crochet

Advice requested: a third party working with Pfizer is looking for guinea pigs for a blind norovirus vaccine. I’ll be on the Queen Mary 2 (a plague ship last year when i crossed) Jan 3-11 eastbound. Clever idea or Big Risk?

This year we were grateful for peace, order, and good governance, frequent subway trains, and a great bike shop in Curbside Cycles on Bloor St West.

This is a slice of sweet Lebanon bologna (baloney), a staple of my childhood. There’s also a dark version that I like more.
How: fry lightly in butter and put in a (Wonder Bread) sandwich or roll around Philadelphia cream cheese and serve to your parents’ friends at a bridge party.
