Statele - Guess the State

Here's my one prediction for 2023.

Hanif Kureishi's marriage will not survive

Definitely an issue. People pootling along on unpowered bikes now seem like the minority, and in danger.

But why doesn't this article also mention the fact that petrol-powered scooters are also allowed to use bike lanes? They are even faster.

A good start would be to ban combustion engines from the cycle paths.

Amsterdam calls for crackdown on menace of souped-up e-bikes

Demon young riders speeding at 40kph are making the Dutch city’s once cycle-friendly streets dangerous – and the problem is spreading

#MastodonNews Dec 17, 2022

The media fights back. Major media embraces Mastodon.

The Wall Street Journal has published a free, no paywall, easy to follow flipdeck on how to sign up and use Mastodon. This is unprecedented, but so was the birdsite's #JournalistPurge.

How to Use Mastodon, the Social-Media Platform Blocked by Elon Musk’s Twitter

Mastodon could be the future of social media—if you can figure it out

Wall Street Journal
The feats of bike-handling on a daily basis by Dutch Mamas on the school run are really something to behold.
Rumor circulating that Ibn Omar, the head of ISIS-Mozambique, would have been captured in Cuamba district, Niassa province. He would have been arrested in a hotel where he was residing in the last 3 days. Needs to be confirmed still
I will give big points to the first news organization, big or small, that:
* Sets up an instance for its newsroom,
* Sets up an instance for the community it serves,
* Enables rel=me for staff,
* Creates a boost-on-Mastodon sharing function,
* Enhances that function so headlines/images (with alt-text) appear in the toot,
* Covers the Fediverse as more than a geeky curiosity or alt-Twitter,
* Listens to and joins in the conversation here.
Matt Levine is simply the best newsletter writer out there (and at the moment he also has some great material to work with). Here's the paragraph that made me LOL today:
