This is an old post from 2023, but it think it still may be interesting for anyone, who is thinking about #cycling adventure in #Serbia or at #Balkan region in general. The story of my 700km trip along Danube river and a way back. #bikesky

NEW: They kept saying they were gonna do it and now they've done it

A group of clowns (Senators) have introduced a bill to FULLY REPEAL Section 230.

No reform, no replacement, just utter destruction of all online free speech.

We can't let this happen. Share & take action

Politicians love to talk about "kids safety" until you ask them to do something that would actually keep kids safe like fund housing, healthcare, education, outdoor spaces, arts programs, etc.

That's because most of them use "safety" as a euphemism for surveillance, control and domination.

While it sounds so cool to "protect children" that people are missing one important thing. It kills privacy and anonymity. Platforms will ask for ID/passports. Very cool if the goal is to build a surveillance state and control what people are saying.

Children should be at least 16 to access social media, say MEPs | News | European Parliament
MEPs are calling for ambitious EU action to protect minors online, including an EU-wide minimum age of 16 and bans on the most harmful addictive practices.

Interesting fact: #cycling with a trailer (~12 kg) with two babies (~8.5 kg each) feeling like a constant up hill with a grade about 2-3 degree.

Photo looking down a train station platform under overhead electric wires and a partly cloudy sky as a train pulls into the left. Photo of the headset of a bicycle leaning up against folded up seats and a side window inside a train. You can see buildings out the window to the left.

Cozy #brutalism of the former #Yugoslavia in #Belgrade, #Serbia

#architecture #socialistmodernism
A cozy building in one of the districts of the New Belgrade. Built around 70th, I guess. Even made in the brutalism style with all decor elements made from the raw concrete it does not look dark, because of the amount of green around. For me it fits into the surrounding very well.
