Toro Rosso or Racing Bulls or whatever pretending not to work as part of the RBR team was always a glasses and funny mustache level disguise but they've fully stopped wearing the glasses and funny mustaches.

What did you call me.

I hate how as a language learner the Internet keeps pushing "hyperpolyglots" at me - like, absolutely, some people can speak lots of languages but nobody can meaningfully speak 50+ languages or learn a language in two weeks, fuck off.

Mina mlem for you all.

YOUNG MAN, there's no need to feel down i said YOUNG MAN, pagliacci the clown you can SEE HIM he is playing in town you should go and have a good time

Notts Forest have the opportunity to do something extremely funny.

Yeah existing as a cautionary tale doesn't feel the best

The "I don't usually use the r slur but I'll make an exception for this person because they're truly awful" thing is so gross - the implication is that it's just too strong an insult to compare people to disabled people, rather than deeply harmful to disabled people to use disability as an insult.

Driver was charged with murder and the BBC still uses the exonerative voice "an SUV crushed him."

Holy wow - this Newcastle game.

"listen up, you piece of shit" - seven clunky syllables - disrespectful - sets a weird tone "hark, shitpiece" - three sleek syllables - salutation-flavoured - calls listener in to the community of shitpieces

The way people think that putting their hazard lights on is like crossing your fingers behind your back when you lie but for dangerous and illegal driving.

every single transportation conversation ever

A van driver deliberately hits pro-Palestine protesters outside Cardiff University in Wales.

The Left is to blame for the rise of the far-right because they refuse to work with their political rivals, unlike us, the moderates in the centre, who are successfully holding back the far-right by capitulating to their anti-immigrant rhetoric and adopting it as our own

So much of the coverage of bike lanes fails to accurately identify the stakes for those supporting infrastructure and those opposed to it. @momentummag.bsky.social really nails the dynamic, and I wish stories about "local opposition" were more focused on identifying who is speaking out and why.

little rascal

Had this been for cycle infra, there would've been an outrage by the public. But as it's for more road space, it's all OK with most of the public. Typical #motonormativity at play & will not improve the roads!

An update on this long-planned then abandoned cycle path in North Shields:

Tiny dancer! Photo from my collection, no documented date/info.

While it's clearly better than being forced into the road, it's not good enough for wheelchair users to be forced into the bike lane either. Sidewalks/pavements should be accessible - for safety, as well as to ensure access and to allow for rolling socially including with walking friends/family.

It's a weird season to follow as a Liverpool fan - we're 7 points clear in the Premiership and yet somehow every match feels incredibly seat-of-the-pants.

I saw an environmentalist on LinkedIn defending their use of genAI images. They said: I'm doing important work and this allows me to be more effective. They said: this gets more attention for my important work. Please do not do this. It's counterproductive for environmentalism.

Formula E is like racecar Buckaroo.

Added a broken toe to my eclectic collection of ailments - I've got range.

literally every time i pack for a trip i think about this post

Oh good, the internet has starting pushing "did you know the medication you're on causes autism?????" at me.

Wait, in Mairzy Doats is the kid a baby goat or a human child? I always thought child but I just realised baby goat fits better with the mare, doe and especially the little lamb. And is more likely to be permitted to eat ivy.

I still don't think most people fully understand that abandoning pandemic mitigation strategies was a motivating force for what's happening now. Like once you're willing to give up on one vulnerable population, it opens the flood gates.

*first day of tennis umpire school* look to the person on your left. now look to the person on your right. ok thats basically the job

me: Iā€™m gonna go medieval on your ass you: oh no me: *washes you more frequently and thoroughly than a 21st century audience might expect*

What Dhube is referring here euphemistically as "population transfer" in South Asia remains one of the most historically traumatic events for us: Partition. Families ripped apart and wiped out entirely, sexual and physical violence that had generational consequences and STILL shapes our politics.

Don't think the quiet part has ever been louder than in the "Palestinian refugees accidentally allowed into Ukrainian refugee program" story

Before my first injection people told me it would help alleviate my symptoms in about a week, before my second injection a month later I was told the second one always does the trick, and now I am having the third injection tomorrow and I am being told "yeah, some people it doesn't help at all." šŸ˜­

it has been said before but one problem is that when some people say 'the economy' they're talking about poor people affording food and housing, & when some other people say 'the economy' they're referring to a chart of how happy rich people are
