This truck looks a lot like a lorry to me.

This is really fascinating. I feel that we need more variety in buses. More X-number routes with limited stops, especially coming in from the periphery. But I like the frequent stops. Would be interesting to map their relative user data too.

🚨 Outrage as 20 police officers break into Westminster Quaker Meeting House and arrest six. 🚨 This shocking violation of a place of worship is a direct result of crackdowns on protest and dissent - freedom of speech, assembly and democracy are at risk.🕊️ 👉 www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-eve...

Stopped on a cycle path in an urban wood. Let out an unrestrained sneeze. Three deer right beside me in the bushes leaped up and bounded away in shock.

ICE just literally abducted Rumeysa Ozturk, a Tufts international student from Turkey who was part of a group that wrote an op-ed urging Tufts to come out against genocide of Palestinians. They snatched her off the street in plain daylight, dressed in all black. youtu.be/PuFIs7OkzYY

A damning new report from the Changing Markets Foundation and Mighty Earth exposes how the world’s top 20 food retailers, including Tesco, Lidl, Walmart, and Carrefour, have completely failed to tackle methane in their supply chains. herbivore.club/blog/...

Best stop eating beef then.....

The Met Office are more optimistic than I am.

What do you think, Pars fans? Right man for the job?

Türkiye: the university degree of Ekrem İmamoğlu (CHP-S&D), mayor of Istanbul, has been canceled by Istanbul University, which is the requirement to run in the presidential elections. He was set to run as the sole candidate in the presidential primary of CHP this Sunday. #imamoğlu

I’d have liked to have been a vibes player. But the paths necessary for this were never made clear to me at school. And, I didn’t want to be a vibes player when I was at school. #vibes

Given that the Trump people did nothing to induce Russia to end the war, it’s fair to conclude that the whole idea of pursuing peace was just a pretext to renew relations with Russia.

Annalise Dodds has resigned as Minister for Overseas Development. A principled decision, yet Melanie Ward ex CEO of Medical Aid for Palestinians stays quiet.

Just saying.

I think I smelled my first wild garlic of the year today.

yalereview.org/article/kras... This as brilliant as it is painful: the awful experience of trying to keep speaking positively to a terribly sick person who cannot properly respond, is made a more ridiculous farce by the air being filled by the boons of NFTs & cryptocurrency as he dies in a trench

Is this what it felt like in February ‘39? Big things going badly and a sense that you can’t stop stuff and that those who can, won’t. Is it that they are scared? Incapable? Or does it not really seem to matter, if you are amongst the powerful?

A quite terrific song and video.

REVEALED! This recently-declassified century-old manual explains how to obey the authorities such that the authorities will regret ever having made your acquaintance. Strategies include drunkenness, making your boss complicit in petty crimes, malingering, and anabasis.

is it good or bad that a billionaire oligarch with close ties to foreign dictators is currently downloading the most sensitive information the us federal government has about its citizens to his own private servers?

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.
