Good morning to small peaceful things of beauty, like geraniums in a window on an evening walk.

At present, Bilbao’s bike network exceeds 77 kilometres of interconnected paths, half of which are fully segregated to provide safe, dedicated space. This expansion aligns with municipal goals to make cycling practical, everyday transport—not just sport—by improving connectivity to key destinations.

Bilbao has long been recognised for its robust public transport and low reliance on private vehicles. Walking has figured prominently in mobility patterns, a legacy that favours accessible and compact neighbourhoods. And in recent years, the government has significantly expanded its cycling network.

In a region defined by dramatic terrain and historic roads, bikes are forging new paths into the landscape of Bilbao and Bizkaia. Drawing on domestic ambition and international expertise, the past decade has seen accelerated efforts to weave (e-)cycling infrastructure into the fabric of daily life.🧵

I have made peace with the typo in my post. It is not tormenting me with each repost and comment. I am not haunted by it. I can rise above the shame.

It ended up being chill because of a very good decision: no open mic for public comment. Instead write questions on an index card and they’ll answer Avoids a lot of rambling, grandstanding, and bemoaning

Good morning

If I'm stuck at home sick on such a nice day, I might as well listen to a new record (side note, this is the cheapest RAM you can get 😆)

Look, Chicago is the coolest actual city in the US, but I’m sorry, you show me these bridges and I’m gonna think about Dave Matthew’s bus 10 times out of 10

*clears throat* This type of mixed-use, walkable urbanism is illegal in most American cities

As for the “Massport Model,” once you observe that the same names are repeatedly being cited as beneficiaries, you begin to understand what’s going on.

The purpose of this website is to help unburden your brain by releasing horrible sentences that live in there like demons

Chicago is the greatest city on Earth

worker’s cottage built 1881, photographed in 2016

my humanities students have heard of johannes kepler but not cass sunstein. nature is healing.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a worker’s cottage in Chicago with an ornate double-story porch like this, I love the fretwork on the wooden posts

“But Toad,” said Frog, “I AM happy. I am very happy. This morning when I woke up, I felt good because the sun was shining. I felt good because I was a frog. And I felt good because I have you for a friend. I wanted to be alone. I wanted to think about how fine everything is.”

The best kind of war, honestly: ritualistic. Doesn’t mean anything; nothing to win; no points to score. Just a multiplayer deathmatch, where your reSkys and screenshots of the match are the only trophies. 🏆🤩

I still program in 2008 era R. Never jumped on the C++ bandwagon to write extensions either. You only C me using C
