Pre Valentine's day scenes in #hackney... Would love to know the story behind this?! The steak is best before the 17th? Why why is it in the street? And with the Viagra? Maybe it's the opening scene of a novel?

Great to see another WalkCreate article out: 'Cripping Desire Lines' discusses the impact of Covid-19 on disabled people’s experiences of walking in the UK. Our data comes from covid times, but with loads of ongoing, pressing relevance! and it's open access journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Very moving vigil for Irene Leardini by side of A2 in New Cross Gate tonight. She was cycling here two weeks ago. RIP.
Sad we are still gathering at the side of busy roads asking why nothing has been done to make them safe.
Thanks to all at @lewishamcyclists.bsky.social for organising the vigil.

This is your reminder that Hungarian-Jewish scientist George de Hevesy dissolved two Nobel Prizes in aqua regia to keep them out of the hands of the Nazis.
He then left the dissolved solution on his shelf and fled to Sweden.
(After the war he un-dissolved the gold and the prizes were re-cast.)

I have walked to work for 2.5 years, a little under a mile each way: it has changed my life
“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath

Just heard an AI ethicist talk about how important it is that we say ‘MEN are using Grok to undress images of babies, children and women’ not ‘Grok is….’. Grok isn’t responsible for the action, the men enabling & using it for this repulsive purpose are. Small but important bit of linguistic accuracy
