For years and years, I thought #cycling was too dangerous a method of transport that it put me off buying a #bike. However, I’m going to share a few details around the city which, in various measures, make #biking safer, easier, more pleasurable, and more fun. We still have a long way to go to get to the levels of #CyclingInfrastructure of the #Netherlands or #Denmark but the #CityCouncil is trying do the right thing.

If Apple and Meta paid their 700 million 💶 fine into the @EUCommission 's account tomorrow, it would still not even cover the hole #Denmark and #Austria alone blow in the #EU budget every year with their rebates. In total, 🇩🇰 🇦🇹 + #Germany, #Netherlands, and #Sweden deprive the EU of 7 billion in revenue every year, 49 billion in every budget, by asking for Thatcher-style rebates. "The gross reductions will be financed by all other Member States."

This beautiful display of noctilucent clouds called for a good foreground. I was frantically riding my bike, searching for something I could use, when I rode past this windmill. Using it as a silhouette was a no-brainer. I'm really happy with this result.

Russian attacks on Europe included a bid to sway the EU election, Dutch spies warn.

Russia is stepping up its hybrid attacks against the Netherlands and its European allies to influence and weaken their societies, the Dutch military intelligence agency MIVD said Tuesday.

“The potential effect on our security is unprecedented,” MIVD Director and Vice Admiral Peter Reesink said in the report.
