This week I liked the podcast with the whaler, and the Chinese cycling industry.
Leadership
Rate My Manager - Oh, no! It's pretty new. (Side note: This looks vibe coded)
Engineering
Bringing BASIC back: Microsoft’s 6502 BASIC is now Open Source - very nice. It is one, 7000 line file.
Browsh - new text-based browser.
BYTE - visual history - I still have my favourite issues, like the one with the Amiga 3000 on the cover. I also remember one about Desqview/X, that I probably have somewhere.
Urbanism
Safety and space at risk as SUVs reach 30% of car market in English cities, researchers warn - we replaced family vans and station wagons with something that is much worse
Barcelona metro opens Correus and Gaudà ghost stations for first time - I am probably not going to get a ticket. This looks fun. See also: Barcelona opens doors to key public transport sites during European Mobility Week
What the end of The Block means - is there something good in the suburbs?
Radverkehrskonzept 2030 [German] Tübingen cycling plan. Apparently, the city in Germany who spends most on cycling per person.
GPS pay-as-you-go rail tickets to be trialled in England for first time - Why would we need this kind of tracking when we have tap-to-pay?
Random Whales
Extra: A Modern Whaler Speaks Up (Update) [Podcast] - finally an interview with a whaler.

Visualised: Europe's population crisis - sadly nobody cares for 2100, especially not the politicians
Alcohol is AMAZING [YouTube] - maybe not.
As beer sales fall, young Germans develop taste for alcohol-free lager - this can only be good, I wonder how this will change the culture.
The Drug To Master Reality [YouTube] probably not either.
Daniel Popper - I love this artist!
3,000 Eggs Daily: The 400-Year Japanese Tamagoyaki That Still Sparks Dawn Queues [YouTube] - those look a lot better than mine.
