The city of Barcelona has gotten to be one of the best cities in the world for people who love to ride bicycles. The government here has been radically changing the way we move around the city without using vehicles. #progressive #barcelona #bicycles #publictransportation #streetphotography

I couldn’t find a post on this, but it looks like the most recent @bsky.app update made it so lists also show retweets. Really appreciate this because I like to make lists for some of my interests and I also want to see reposts from people in those lists.

So I got a sms from Alliance Advisors / REI Board just now reminding me to vote. Guessing because of ongoing negotiations the REI Union is not giving endorsements. I looked at this years slate and none of them are union. Would recommend voting no to all the candidates this year.
You can go to www.REIvote.com to vote in REl's annual board of directors election, now until January 31st.

Chet Baker’s Silent Nights is among my favorite Christmas albums. It was pulled from Apple Music a few years ago (related to estate lawsuits?). Certainly doesn’t rank among his greatest works, but I think he nailed it by keeping improvisation short and sharp. Most of the other platforms have it.
