A graphic displaying the full "2025 Advent Calendar" by the European Cyclists' Federation. It is a grid of square cards on a teal background, numbered non-sequentially with dates like 1, 23, 15, 9, etc. Each square features a festive illustration such as a bicycle, Santa on a bike, a snowman, a Christmas tree, a candy cane, a wreath, or a gift box. Snow hangs from the top border of the image.
It’s Week 1 of our Cycling Advent Calendar!🚲🎁
We’re counting down to a more sustainable, cycle-friendly Europe.
Each “door” in this week’s thread is a wish for the future of cycling, linked to our work.
👉 Follow as we reveal new cycling goals every week and reply with your own cycling wishes! 🎄
With the global Cloudflare outage knocking out CANVA, OpenAI, X and others - we decided it's time to dust off our PowerPoint skills and go analog again! #Cycling #ActiveMobility
My friend & I, Uni students in Brussels, are making videos on Belgian founders & startups—just covered Collibra, a VUB spin-off now worth €5B. Check it out & share your feedback! 👇🚀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhO_...
The same week that Elon Musk baselessly called Social Security a "Ponzi scheme," his co-president Donald Trump announced that he wants to create a national crypto reserve.
This could result in taxpayer dollars being used to prop up an actual Ponzi scheme.
Hello?
Vance blew up that meeting on purpose
Better see some “you lie” energy and actions from the democrats at Trump’s “own the libs” joint session of congress speech next week. Otherwise what are they even for there?
I don't think Olaf, Jake and Joe are getting the credit they deserve for allowing me to hang on for long enough to have Trump surrender to me.
History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I *am* the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me."
Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.
I’m having great difficulty right now seeing how our political system doesn’t devolve into violence.
the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president
Wild that the UK is just forcing Apple to remove end-to-end encryption, and there isn't more outrage.
Hey so what are all the other branches of government doing about the fact the president just tweeted he’s above the law?
This is a flat-out, clear-cut violation of the First Amendment.

BTW, this makes Bill Gates the largest donor to the WHO now. More than any country. open.who.int/2024-25/cont...
So I really wonder what BillGates' opinion is on pulling out of the @who.int ... Last time he called it "as dangerous as its sounds." www.wsj.com/politics/pol... #publichealth #trump
Say what you will about the Trump-Biden debate, this past day has still been FAR more embarassing.
Honestly, the Dems questions today for Hegseth seemed weak, and they let him get away with too much. They need to do better
I'm sorry but the Dems are ridiculously bad at their Hegspeth questions. IMO, if you want to prove someone is incompetent, you ask them the hardest strategic questions they will have to know to succeed at the job
Google LM Notebooks feels like a crazy magic trick when it takes some notes and slides I have to make a Planet Money style podcast. But also uncanny and unsettling when they start taking positions and opinions, urging me to make some change, in their conclusion... like you're a robot
