Biniam Girmay becoming the first Black cyclist (he's from Eritrea, Africa) and also the first Black African to win a Tour de France stage. Absolutely incredible performance

@ElleGray this is a great Tour de France!! I love how it goes on for six hours a day. The commentators are wonderful and the helicopter shots are spectacular.

these are late bc they required a child to send photos lol but my daughter was on an overnight ferry out in the Pacific ocean (near Haida Gwaii, BC) when the northern lights came.

The kids had one of the nights of their lives. I think these are great, so I'm putting them here

Green and purple waves of light over a still night ocean. Distant dark islands can be seen on the horizon

Oh! Haida Gwaii - so beautiful. So far away. Are you all part of a First Nation?

What do these corporations have in common?

Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

@rbreich and yet we cannot blame them. They are following the tax code, which encourages this. This is the American ideal. Find a way around the law.

A writer skewered the scene. Then her article vanished.

Writer may have seemed like an odd choice to cover the luxury world of FormulaOne. …FormulaOne races…have become pit stops on the jet-set circuit, where the cheapest general-admission tickets start around $500. Still, mag commissioned Wagner to cover a FormulaOne race in Austin last fall, sending her on a trip funded by British petrochemicals co INEOS.

@Nonilex first good article I’ve read in a magazine for years.
