“Civilization is a movement and not a condition, a voyage and not a harbor."— Arnold J. Toynbee #quotestr

Top 3 at UTMB CCC have arrived: Cristian Minoggio from Italy won, Miguel Arsénio from Portugal was second and Hans Troyer from the U.S. came third (still to be confirmed has he was caught on camera littering on the course)

Watching UTMB CCC race 100km (actually close to 108km) across the Alps! Great so see a Portuguese on a podium place fighting Hans Troyer (Young and Fit)! https://www.youtube.com/live/YKvTXlAaNEg

This morning #runstr

Just received the news that a cyclist died during a stage of Volta a Portugal (Tour of Portugal) after being hit by a car! 🤦 😔

Just finished the book Lost City by Clive Cussler! Entertaining as always although probably went a bit to Mission Impossible grounds! On to Accelerando by Charles Stross! #bookstr

Hi @The Tim ! Any thoughts on the current fight between Comrades Members Association and Kwazulu Natal Athletics and Athletics South Africa? As foreigners we are pro CMA, but what are people in SA thinking?

Funtime with the kids watching The Loud House The Movie

Concert posters for rock bands are still one of the coolest art forms!

Just noticed that football season has started yesterday in Portugal! Have really lost contact with it! For the record Estoril Praia drew Famalicão 1-1 with Carlos Carvalhal returning to the bench in Portugal.

This morning #runstr around Kampala

#asknostr is there an LLM trained on #nostr notes?

Good morning all! Let’s make this a great day! #grownostr #plebchain #coffeechain

This Saturday on my run around the city I saw a school named Norman Godinho. Well, Godinho is a typical Portuguese name so I decided to investigate a bit. Found out that in the early 20th century, Norman Godinho was a prominent businessman in the then Protectorate of Uganda, originated from Goa, a Portuguese territory in India by then (weirdly enough the Indian army had to invade the Portuguese possessions as Portugal refused to integrate them into India after its independence from the UK). And more Goans were important figures at that time according to an article I found. https://www.monitor.co.ug/uganda/special-reports/uganda-50/gomes-the-father-of-uganda-s-gomesi-1526086
