unpopular opinion: ich bin mittlerweile der festen überzeugung, dass die fossilmafia eine energiewende nur unter vorgehaltener waffe mitmacht. bis dahin pumpt sie milliarden in propaganda und gekaufte politiker*innen und führt die welt in den abgrund.

"It's why someone who would normally hand over their seat on a bus will speed through a zebra crossing as an older pedestrian or child crosses the road." Great piece in @echolive.bsky.social about Car Brain by Catherine Conlon feat. @ianwalker.bsky.social's research www.echolive.ie/corkviews/ar...

This is timely. I met up with my original motonormativity collaborators yesterday to plan the next phase of research. We've got several ideas for combatting the issue, one of which is a doozy - watch this space!

Not true. I see you're a luxury watch dealer. I'm also interested in watches. Let me show you how free and easy migration has allowed you to earn a living. 🧵

I’m thrilled to announce my first piece of academic writing will be published later this year in an anthology titled Second Star to the Right: Essays on Leadership in Star Trek. My essay discusses how Star Trek TTRPGs can help develop leadership skills at the game table and in life. #LLAP #trekon

Here is a 🧵on what I think the ideal cycleway should look like, based on many years of me cycling on Dutch cycle infrastructure all over the country 👇

Believing that binary biological sex is a real thing that doesn't depend on our ideological projections has been untenable for a long time. A lot of people argue that humans in fact have more sexes than that - describing intersex conditions as if they were countable additions to our idea of sex.

🧵 I want to share the struggle that GP Dr Caroline Litman has had in trying to get a reply from the UK Secretary for Health Wes Streeting regarding her daughter Alice, a trans woman, who died by suicide 3y ago. It’s really powerful & I’ve excerpted it here. [1]

“There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. Remember this, freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously & without instruction. The need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle.” — Andor finale

one underused solid argument against a car centric culture is that many people are absolutely terrible drivers

To be honest I have many other topics I would love to write about. I’m keen to get back to my new book on common sense. But I feel it is politically urgent to use our resources to keep contesting “gender critical” feminism. Here’s another, “Stealing Sex”. feministkilljoys.substack.com/p/stealing-sex

“A review of scientific research has found that pedestrians and cyclists are 44% more likely to be killed in a collision with an SUV or light truck, compared to a passenger car. The outlook is even more dire for children, who are 82% more likely to be killed when struck by the larger vehicles.”

Well done Labour Anyone who thought you represented real change now despises you. Anyone who didn’t, still won’t. People who weren’t that convinced but hoped for the best are out of patience. You’ve managed to turn off everyone. Quite the achievement!

Tragic to hear the UK PM Keir Starmer say that immigration is turning the UK into "an island of strangers." What a narrow, nasty, pessimistic view of the people of the UK. People who have made the UK their home from around the world include my friends & neighbours & are not strangers.

Anti-immigration policies stoke division and harm people, our public services and economy, while doing nothing to address the real problems caused by austerity. Let’s offer solutions not scapegoating.

It looks to me like #Starmer pulled an unforced #OlafScholz today. You can't win against fascists by embracing their language, thus giving their points salience. Anyone following German politics could have learnt from that example. I'm unclear if I'm more angry about was said or the stupidity.

Starmer is simultaneously detoxifying Reform and toxifying the Labour Party. I ask again, what is he playing at?
