Is this important? Yes: research has found that the use of 'object-based language' in crash reports obscures the driver's role in an incident, with the knock-on effect being that that reduces the driver's responsibility within public perceptions. If folk want safer streets, this stuff matters.

This change means it could be easier/possible for millions of homes in England - particularly terraced houses - to have heat pumps installed. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

You know, I think he could be onto something.

There is that.

Juliana Leon died of hyperthermia in Seattle aged 65 during the 2021 PNW heat dome, an event meteorologists say would be “virtually impossible” without human-caused global warming. Today her daughter filed the first-ever wrongful death lawsuit against big oil. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

My friend is in charge of the team that wrote the climate change adaptation plan for Switzerland and this is one of the things they expected.

I, for one, welcome our turkey overlords.

Reform should never appear on TV without a fact checker. And they should never be able to try & rubbish climate action without someone saying 92% of their external donations came from fossil fuel & climate denying companies. Party for the billionaires. Fact check below from @desmog.com

A rising bollard system has been installed in the city centre where you work. It only lets one vehicle through at a time. CCTV captures the moment when, tailgating another car, the bollards rise, damaging your BMW. Do you: a) keep quiet, learn your lesson or b) deny it, whine to the local media?

Yep. No coroner ever: "This tragic loss of life might have been avoided if only the driver had been going faster."

We know. #WorldBollardAssociation

Here in the UK, with the exchequer facing ever-diminishing tax returns from fuel duty, it's inevitable that 'pay per mile' motoring will be introduced at some point. But, given how easy that will make it to introduce congestion charging, and with it outcomes like NYC has achieved, it's really OK.

Lots of folks are, understandably, not cool with a driver who does 81 mph in a posted 65, and then whines about being held accountable for that dangerous, antisocial behaviour. I stand with those folks. Violation of the social contract, my arse.

Because he's equal parts lazy fucker and slippery little shit, Farage took an IfG figure for achieving net zero, and presented it as if it will wholly come from the taxpayer, when most is private sector investment. Also left out: the cost of *not* achieving net zero. m.youtube.com/watch?v=m_R4...

Just this fuck in particular.

Nothing says care for public realm like tarmacing over a D-lock 🙈🙈

I've always known she's inspirational, but I didn't know that my amazing wife had inspired an actual book.

Yeah, I'd spotted that; distinct out-grouping going on.

It's all go here.

"Like most of the British establishment, Cameron didn't take English nationalism seriously. It was an obsession confined to those they dismissed as 'swivel-eyed loons'. Nationalism was a Scottish & Irish disease (with a minor Welsh variant). He was, of course, profoundly wrong." A good read, this.

If your industry is only viable with theft, then it deserves to die.
