"Why don't cyclists use the cycle lanes?" Part [very large number] of [even larger number] If you just paint a line on the tarmac with no colour or solid object delimination then it's clear a significant number of drivers will assume it's for them to park in. #cycling #saferstreets

Ebikes are often seen as enablers, so more people can cycle more. I’d lost the habit of cycling but got an ebike in 2021 to commute 13km to/from work. The confidence, fitness & knowledge I’ve developed on the ebike have now enabled me to revert to a regular bike. I’ve ridden my ebike once this yr.

Calling Zelensky a “Dictator” must be where the line is drawn. It is my sincere hope that the whole political spectrum in the United Kingdom will speak with one voice in opposition to Trump’s lies.

In other words, a group of law-abiding citizens had their doors smashed in by the Border Force at night, because the Prime Minister wanted some "man of action" pictures for the telly. And this is regarded as a political "F-up", not an abuse of state power. It's like we learned nothing from Windrush

Fire those WOKE bureaucrat so called 'scientists' looking after animal and human health. They are total a waste of money. 2 minutes later. Oh wait, come back quick, we've screwed up again like an 11 year old spoilt kid in a candy store on a massive sugar high. Utter tossers

OK Kemi, I confess; I *was* planning to brainwash my physics students with my left-of-centre politics. But I gave up when I couldn't even indoctrinate them into reading the f*cking syllabus.

I assume whoever is making "rapid" changes to safety critical systems for air traffic control has truly spectacular levels of PII.

One of the things that’s most fucked up is how cheap all of this manipulation is for a person with 400 billion at their disposal. Both here and abroad.

Another Green win, this time from Labour. The media (not least the BBC) give almost constant coverage to Farage & Reform, almost none to the Green Party, which now has 813 councillors to Reform's 70. Is it because we're not fascist enough? (graphic by @leftiestats.bsky.social)

TIL that in a PET scan it isn't, as I'd thought, the particles emitted from the decaying radioactive nucleus that is detected but it's actually the ejected positron annihilating with an election and emitting gamma radiation. I walk out of a PET scan literally producing gamma radiation within me.

Me, puberty to 2024: "What's the point in manscaping? Why would anyone shave their chest? Such a waste of effort." Me, 2025, facing three months of peeling ECG stickers off my chest hairs on a weekly basis: "I'll get the razor shall I?"
