So a significant part of tabloid journalism now is browsing Go Fund Me for stories that can be churned out in the hope the algorithm notices them, right? Seeing a lot of viral stories entirely sourced to Go Fund Me with no additional journalism (really no journalism at all)

My statement on what's unfolding in Los Angeles.

Become ungovernable etc..

Another great statement on the Oxford Congestion Charge. According to Oxford’s Tories, there are simultaneously too many exemptions to make any difference to congestion AND Oxford is slowly being shut down. WHICH IS IT LADS ?!?!

Just thinking of this earlier after I saw a Kia that looked like a boxier version of this and ugly Couldn’t remember the model but I got the marque right

Sadly no @geotdf.bsky.social this year. We funded these things with a grant but that ended. In this current age science is not popular, not even limestone cliffs on stage 20 near Pontarlier. Also the @escapecollective.bsky.social culture and cheese blogs don’t return so I have a full TDF off.

It's still a draft agreement over Gibraltar but these look like the headlines to me. For e.g. there is currently no VAT in Gibraltar.

PFA statement in support of #swfc players, posted on the other side. Interestingly, it says they've been supporting the players with late payment issues 'over many months.' Also emphasises lack of payments to staff as well as players.

A rare none cycling post but… I cannot recommend this enough. To anyone. But especially if you have children you need to read this sooner rather than later.

This looks like very good news. The possibility of cross-border services like buses, food security for Gibraltar, flights to somewhere other than the UK and, why not, the return of the ferry to Algeciras. ec.europa.eu/commission/p...

I ask again … Are Labour pro-people or pro-pollution bsky.app/profile/carl...

When an author's name is more pominent on a book's cover than the book's title ... it's probably the author you're being sold, not the book's contents.

“And other allies”?

Si vous êtes français aux États-Unis, vous risquez à tout moment d'être raflés par les milices trumpistes, pour un motif arbitraire, et déportés dans le camp de Guantánamo, sans que personne ne puisse jamais retrouver votre trace. Et c'est ce pays que vous considérez encore comme une démocratie ?

“[Wet] Weekend in Blackpool”

Defence reviews in five years : 3 Brexit reviews in five years : 0 "If the dramatic changes in the world are such as to require three defence reviews in the five years since Britain formally left the EU, then it surely isn’t unreasonable to think that Brexit itself warrants at least one"

Schrodinger's congestion: we now have antis opposed to the new Oxford Congestion Charge saying that there's no congestion for half the year so no need for charge. But also the LTNs are causing permanent gridlock and no business or resident can survive in the wasteland ruins of a once-great city.

ICE appears to confirm that California National Guard are being used to provide security to ICE officers during immigration arrest operations.

Important thread from Adam here. Public space - especially in towns and cities - isn't just there for the fast, efficient movement of motor vehicles and we mustn't let that motonormative thinking enable another generational landgrab as automated driving slides in

This is the Chief Constable of Hertfordshire, talking about 20 mph zones. “No decision not to enforce the law” “Doesn’t say that someone can’t be stopped and advised” “where 20 zones are sensible”. And we wonder why motorists believe they don’t have to obey the law!

My heartfelt condolences to the victims of the cowardly act in Graz. I had the honour of running the European Police Championships marathon there in 2014. A beautiful, warm city that now faces dark days. All my support from Belgium.

Are Labour pro-people or pro-pollution? Congestion charge - a Labour policy under Ken Livingston - has been supported by subsequent Mayors of London, both Tory and latterly Labour

Can’t disagree Although there is the danger of being too pragmatic. And compromising too much

Joe Biden's final request to US servicemen and women before leaving office: "Remember your oath." I hope the US marines that Trump is deploying against American citizens were listening.
