Removed most of the skin from my left thigh this morning. My front wheel washed out on a descent, this is something I'm normally good at (and love doing), although lately I have been wondering what would happen if I crash while steaming downhill in nothing but lycra, now I know.

The UK government's plan to teach 10 million British children how to use VPNs may be one of the most ambitious IT education projects ever launched. Experts have praised the scheme, saying that a deft combination of incentives and peer education make it more likely to succeed than other, comparable initiatives.

"With the rise of autocratic governments worldwide, VPN-literacy is more essential than ever.” said one expert, “This bold project definitely comes at the right time.”

Via Everyone Hates Elon, London:

Imagine having enough wealth to end world hunger 166 times over but you chose not to (and chose to incite violence instead)

I now know why everyone says Girona is a great place to cycle. Just done a great 50km gravel loop, something we don't have in Mallorca. Nice combo of fast gravel, punchy climbs topping out at 300m and quite technical descents where the road had washed out, and a river ford thrown in for good measure.

One of the great things about having my permanent residency, is the subsidised travel. On the island I pay nothing to use buses or trains.

I just booked a ticket to go to Barcelona on Sunday on the ferry as a foot passenger, and it was €8! Two of those euros were the lounge seat reservation. This is the slow ferry, so it's a 7 hour trip but I don't mind a lazy Sunday sailing across the Balearic sea.

Update: after 17 sites and 11 CVs I’m pausing submissions. I need to re-focus on my lecture: https://mas.to/@markwyner/116559893895693710

My offer stands. If anyone needs a hand finding work, let me know. I’ve already reviewed 9 websites and 4 CVs. Which, by the way, were rad.

I keep seeing those layoffs and it makes me sad. Capitalism is punching down right now. Forcefully. Maybe I can help someone survive it. Hit me up if that’s you.

Got home last night to find a mouse had decided to make a nest in my bed. Makes me wonder why I have cats, because they clearly hadn't been doing their job while I was away. Lazy fuckers.

ALARM!
How on earth is possible that Israel is allowed to assault and seize vessels in international waters just off Greece/Europe? Besides what you can think of Apartheid Israel and its genocidal leaders, this should send shock waves across Europe.

Apartheid without borders.

And the most tone deaf award of the year (to date) goes to blender, great work guys, great way to kill your brand and give the finger to your users.
