If you don’t watch cycling I want to share the joy of Eritrean Biniam Girmay, who is the first Black person to win a stage in the Tour de France and now won his second! In the first week! And he’s in green, which means he’s winning the most sprints (and beating Jasper Phillipsen, which is great.)

Girmay comes out of the World Cycling Congress Institute, a program to make cycling more accessible to riders from countries without cycling infrastructure. A gasp *DEI* program that is making the sport more exciting, more inclusive, and better for everyone.

But on Friday there was regime change in Britain, so perhaps this will change too.

In theory, the "hostile environment" should evaporate from the Home Office.

I hadn't seen that. Amazing misery.
