Seeing a lot of people talking about the NY Times profile of the "new, softer, gentler" Elizabeth Holmes, and my immediate reaction is that Americans have a blind spot for class. Why did Holmes get such a fawning profile? Because it was written by a nice upper middle class woman, who could empathise with someone from the same class.

Political discourse in the US always goes straight to race. Rightly so, but this means that class gets overlooked.

Welcome to the #CrossBorderRail Day 05 thread

Today I'm taking 2 trains (137km total) and there is one bike leg to all three border lines (34km)

I've brought my departure from Enschede forward an hour - so as to avoid rain later on the bike

I'll cross these borders:
🚲 Barlo (DE) – Winterswijk (NL) – dismantled line
🚲 Bocholt (DE) – Aalten (NL) – dismantled 750mm gauge tramway
🚲 Borken-Burlo (DE) – Winterswijk (NL) – dismantled line

Here’s today's video intro https://urbanists.video/w/oZncv3amvNnPedggVvkdKe

The one thing I keep thinking about regarding the WGA writers'strike is how actors are overrated and writers underrated. A great actor can make a terrible story tolerable. A poor actor can't destroy a great story. The human race evolved through and because of stories.

It's the main reason I don't like the Oscars, which centres actors rather than writers.

The greatest mistake of my life is that someone once referred to me as a Lebenskünstler, and I took it as a mild insult.

Nice little video from Fortnine on the pros and cons of various engine configurations. A good overview of the basics.

On my personal blog, I wrote about what the UK local elections mean for British politics, and why the Tories did so badly.
