I find @miketapp.bsky.social ‘s comments interesting where he says:

“Deport. Deport. Deport.
We don't want sexual offenders and violent criminals here.”

Yet he remains quiet on (former) Prince Andrew

He’s nominally a Labour MP but uses the rhetoric of Reform members

The course designers at Derby are cruel… barriers, uphill, and there’s still riders trying to bunny hop (too high risk, low reward and in congested racing it’s impossible)

Did a challenge at work which involved throwing beanbags successfully at targets, cycling on a static bike for 400m and packing a courier bag

My first go was decent but then people went quicker so I tried again, securing third overall
Results which show my name second with a time of 1minute 07, behind someone with a time of 1minute 05. The winning time which came after this photograph was 1minute 03. C in brackets is a time set by a courier in the location

Hot off the press (unless I’m mistaken) it’s going to be the TAOr of Britain in September
A cryptic post from Tao Geoghegan Hart about “racing on the left” which implies a race in the UK, but could also be Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India etc

After a wobble earlier this year, Hess cycling is now officially ceasing
Important Team Update: Hess Cycling Team Hess Enterprises is a successful group engaged in different industries, among them women sports through Hess Sports Group. In 2023 Hess Sports Group started investing in women's sport by forming a women's cycling team. In 2024 a professional women's football team followed. We developed a unique concept of linking sports investments with group internal brand development related consumer goods. We are very happy with our achievements over the past 3 years. Having said that we also realised that in the past years, the cycling sport has become increasingly competitive with huge increases in annual budgets. During this year it became clear that a successful future for our team can only be secured by cooperating with a much stronger team and organisation. Until last week we were sure that this could be achieved, unfortunately this is no longer the case, and we have concluded to terminate Hess Cycling Team with immediate effect. We continue to be driven by our deep commitment to sport, community, and especially the empowerment of female athletes. We are incredibly proud of what the Hess Cycling Team has achieved. We came from nothing and were ranked as the top British Female Cycling Team. Something that we are very proud of. We are deeply grateful for your unwavering support throughout this journey. Your cooperation has been instrumental in helping us build a team that inspired, competed, and represented our shared values with integrity and passion. While this chapter closes, our dedication to sport remains strong. Hess Sports Group and the broader Hess Enterprises family will continue to support female teams and individual athletes in cycling and other sports through sponsorships and strategic partnerships. Hess Sports Group continues to expand in various fields as we believe in the power of sport to uplift, connect, and create lasting impact. We remain committed to being part of that future. We are excited to see what the future b…

Being on a turbo is harder than I remember 😭 idk whether it’s coz it cost £30 from the range but I’m having to use the lower gears to even get it going at a reasonably comfortable feeling

What is happening, by the way, with the redditification of companies… Facebook now has this style for messenger; a company I used to work for rebranded from a three capital letter name to three lowercase letters- they may as well call themselves “uWu smol bean inc.”

Rupert Lowe (Reform) here thinks it’s “undeniable scientific fact” regarding pregnancy, forgetting the existence of animals and apparently teenagers.

Apparently the MPs wages are so high to attract the best and if this is the best then we’re in trouble
A screenshot of Rupert Lowe MP’s tweet which reads “I have just tabled the following motion in Parliament - all MPs have been invited to sign. I will keep you all updated with who does, and doesn’t, support it.” Within the screenshot is a screenshot of the motion which reads “Motion Text That this House reaffirms the undeniable scientific fact that only women can become pregnant”
