Have they not heard of marginal gains?

In April 2026, hedge fund titan Crispin Odey dropped a £79mn libel suit against this newspaper. But not before it unearthed a number of new claims about his misconduct – and provided unusual insight into the disgraced financier’s mind. ft.trib.al/wGfRM05

This is probably the most powerful photo from the July 4th, Independence Day, 250th year anniversary celebrations. This is the United States 2026.

"Make no mistake: the GENOCIDE in Palestine could be stopped if the European Union, Israel’s largest trading partner, suspended trade agreements, imposed crippling sanctions, and imposed an arms embargo."

Cool that bikes are making mainstream headlines, and also whoa - cool pic.

Personally don't care who wins this year's #TdF as long as it is not this guy. Anything to avoid another snoozefest.

The TdF starts today!

TdF at its finest. 1989.

Incredible moment where Fox News puts up a graphic with all the reasons it opposes the DSA and why people should be afraid of them

Listening to @beyondthepeloton.bsky.social yesterday, sorry to hear that Andrew Vontz has cancer. He spoke movingly of his on going treatment and future plans. Wishing you a speedy recovery Andrew.

The only way the Middle East will know peace, is when the last colonial outpost of the west, is abandoned and abolished. The Lebanese people have a right, like the Palestinians to not be occupied by Europeans Zionists. Who do not belong to the region. They should GTFO!

Another Waymo hits a biker. On the Old Kent Road. Waymo turning right. Bike going straight with right of way…

From 1925: a prediction that, as more people choose to drive to the countryside, cars will end up destroying the very beauty that people go to see.

It feels like the Tour de France should start this weekend and I really think my feelings ought to matter more than factual reality. I don't want to wait a stupid week.

21 and already a ****er.

In Germany the calls for pension reform get louder. The pay-as-you-go pension system is under pressure as the number of retirees grows relative to the workforce funding them.

Andrew is a big cyclist. This is worth a watch. youtu.be/P2Euhm-HCJE?...

By 1910, as Victorian dress styles gave way to new fashion trends and women were inspired by the new modern woman represented by the “Gibson Girl,” post cards from this era documented the trends when women began wearing more leisurely, fashionable clothing.

At some point in the 80s i had an epiphany, and realised cars were environmental disasters. Nobody else seemed to care except for a few friends Skip forward 40 yrs and its clear that SUVs are similarly not sustainable, and size limits are needed. Again nobody seems to care except for a few people.

How long before Burnham does a u-turn as PM? Less than a week? He is a man with no convictions, except himself. He is labour version of Boris.

If you think Andy Burnham is the answer, you haven't thought very carefully about what you want.

When i went to university in the UK in the distant past, everybody needed the equivalent of gcses in english, maths and modern language regardless of subject at uni. Not quite sure why people are outraged about requiring basic level english. www.theguardian.com/education/20...
