I've watched this video so many times since Sunday. The power and speed of the riders and the energy of the crowd come through here in a way they never do on the regular broadcast clips. Bikes rule.
Gravel Influencer@gravelinfluencer.bsky.social · last wk.The roar on Montmarte when Pogi in yellow comes around the corner gives me goosebumps. I've watched this like a dozen times. Sport at its finest.
I think about Pentiment all the time. I really liked it when I played it but I didn't anticipate how much it'd stick

Excited to launch this new 📊 data tool today. @yonahfreemark.com dug into the data to provide a look at how much housing is located near transit infrastructure across states and metropolitan areas in the US. Click the link to the numbers for your state. #dataviz
Yonah Freemark@yonahfreemark.com · 2mo agoHow much housing is located near the nation's transit? 45% of units are located within a 1/2 mile of bus or rail. But only 10% is near frequent service... and 6% is near a rail station. Our new data tool @urbaninstitute.bsky.social allows you to investigate in detail! www.urban.org/data-tools/h...

Anuj Ahooja@quillmatiq.com · 3mo ago"If you find the current Bluesky community grating, the answer needn't be "make Bluesky different." The answer can be "make a different community." Or use a different lens onto the same network. Or wait for someone else to build the lens you want and use that." Bluesky isn't the point, atproto is.

This story is crazy! The Jim Dolan had a Knicks fan obsessively monitored at games just because she was trans.

Phenomenon of homes being used for investment or 2nd homes is rare overall—but a major issue in small sections of big, rich cities like New York. Some areas of Midtown & Upper East Side have >30% overall housing vacancy, with a large share of that coming from homes being used as vacation properties.

Spent last weekend in the woods. Saw many lovely things like trees, moss and lichen-covered rocks, the valley shrouded in clouds from above. Freshly full of gratitude for the planet we live on here.
