Occasional links - 15.05.2021

Hello, 

It's the weekend. It's wet and cold but here's some links to go with your coffee this morning. 

I'm addicted to Facebook Marketplace
Jo Burt and his quest to document (in a Twitter thread) every single weird and wonderful bicycle that hits Facebook Marketplace. A lot of fun seeing this pop up each day with new posts and a nice reminder of bicycle oddities that came and went. 

If you think your city will never change, watch this before / after video of Paris
A joy to behold. More bicycles and pedestrians, fewer cars please. An another video of it, pure joy. 

Aero-dog
Just look how happy it is. Also, what happens when you take a break at an animal rescue centre. 

The Good, Transformative Moment Of Getting Vaccinated
A nice piece on how the vaccine effort comes together. 

The Instagram ads Facebook won't show you
The terrible amount of personal info that Facebook gives up to advertisers laid bare. See also backlight.com, punch in a URL and see how many trackers there are - and what to do about it. Thanks Guy for the link. 

Dolphins purposely 'getting high' on pufferfish​
The sight of blissed out Dolphin's really made my day. Thanks Julia. 

“The Far Side” Returns to a Weird World​
After a 25 year break. A fascinating look into the history of the cartoon. 

Beautiful gas stations
Hopefully not needed for much longer and they can be converted into something else. 

What's the worst mistake you've ever made at work?
A brilliant Twitter thread of painful moments. We've all done them. Here's mine for what it's worth. 

Suggs: Love Letters to London
Only just started listening but so lovely. 


Love as always, 

Andy x
