Prince Harry: Ukraine gives me clarity.

"Waymo, whose so-called ‘robo-taxis’ are now roaming London, has told that expecting their driverless cars to respect cycle lanes is “too high a bar” – because their customers want to be dropped off in them." Cars are problems. Electric, autonomous, whatsoever. road.cc/news/driverl...

The Conservatives and Reform backed Trump’s idiotic war in Iran. Since then, it’s dragged down the economy, driven up inflation, and now the US is openly questioning British sovereignty over the Falklands. This is what sucking up to Donald Trump gets you.

Did some great canal side cycling, 50km along the Kennet & Avon, from #Bath, inclg the Combe Down cycle tunnel, & down to Riders Rest cafe in Wellow. Superb. St L's amazing late-Saxon church and Canals Trust cafe in Bradford on Avon. GWR train down worked pretty well too. #Cycling #Photography

'He has insulted our PM.' 'He's threatening NATO members.' 'If you reward a bully, you encourage and embolden them further.' @ollyglover.bsky.social demands that the King's state visit to see Donald Trump should be cancelled. @matthew-wright.bsky.social

I, for one, welcome our new refuse collecting overlords.

I’m trying to convince my institution that’s it’s worthwhile to be on Bluesky, so I volunteered to setup an account and posted at @soest.hawaii.edu. Please do me a favor and follow the account, share and like some posts before my meeting to discuss the account tomorrow. @joshuajfriedman.com

Oceanographers from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa discovered the answer to how species diversity can be so vast and sustained in a seemingly homogeneous environment like the open ocean. 🌊

Wildly shocking amount of ignorance and untrue claims on GMB about 20mph and truly shocking lack of knowledge on the topic from the Labour ex-minister. I was so cross I had to leave the gym. ;) Please get me or someone who actually knows about the topic next time @goodmorningbritain.bsky.social

Does social media have to be toxic? Three Oxford startups are trying to build kinder platforms – ones that change the world for the better. In a long read, we find out more about Tribela, Neya and Redirect… and ask if they have a chance of success. oxfordclarion.uk/can-oxfordsh...

A £1.5m scheme to improve National Cycle Network route 5 across Abingdon town centre has won the support of 81% of people responding to a consultation. New cycle and pedestrian crossings, contraflow cycleways, and improved footways will be installed, with construction due to take place this summer.

Why is the USA incapable of removing an obviously insane and incompetent President?

We're "excessively lax" about holding motorists accountable for their actions because for decades every level of society - including the people who should be keeping us safe - have seen motor harm as inevitable anf outside anyone's control #motonormativity www.theguardian.com/money/2026/a...

The only candidate at the @islingtontrib.bsky.social hustings last night to fully support Low Traffic Neighbourhoods was @greenbenali.bsky.social with a story about seeing a young child cycling with their parent proudly saying “look daddy I’m riding on the road”.

Warren: "Why try to end independence of the Fed? Bc Trump's economic failures are causing him political problems, he wants the Fed to artificially juice the economy Having a sock puppet in charge of the Fed would also give the president access to the Fed's powerful authorities to enrich himself"

Do you really think those people and corporations getting rich off cars, oil, and long commutes aren’t the REAL conspiracy? Have you heard of the “1-Hour City Conspiracy?” You will. Stay tuned. #1HourCityConspiracy #UrbanTruth

“The ‘Peace President’ Threatens an Apocalypse on Iran. AGAIN” Another day, another set of gleeful promises of war crimes from the White House. Plus, Donald Trump's approval rating hits a new low. @swin24.bsky.social with ‘First Draft’ from Zeteo:

We really should get beyond motornormative language when we talk about our movement. I’m personally not interested in championing a niche activity or “bolting it on” to the “normal” one.

some of you are looksmaxxing when you need to be booksmaxxing

Can we also discuss how, where there is a grass verge (often with trees) between the bouse and the road, the local authority still permits a dropped kerb for access - and then for the homeowner to annex (tarmac) "their" bit of grass verge - handily expanding their driveway for free with public land!

Homes not lab space. Thank you Oxford Lib Dems. I also note support for a city centre playground and (this should not be radical), public toilets..

Pleased to see overwhelming opinion IN FAVOUR of the NCN5 cycle and walking improvements to our town centre, including contraflow lane In Abingdon we don't mess around or sit on the fence www.facebook.com/share/p/18EX...

Many rural communities want traffic‑free paths, but too many are stuck trying to deliver them...That’s why @lauralaker.bsky.social created the Rural Path Campaigner Toolkit, with real advice from communities who’ve made greenways happen. Toolkit in comments 👇

This is what I’d like to see from the next Oxford / Greater Oxford administration.

You did an amazing thing there Ian

Transportation practitioners: So how about some more sensors and technology?

Councillor Edward Mundy, Green Party candidate for Cowley commented: "LTNs were trialled in Oxford over 40 years ago. So, the 5th birthday of the Cowley LTNs is a relatively junior celebration. But the contribution made by the bollards, planters and gates in Oxford deserves to be celebrated.(cont'd)

In public, Wes Streeting is furiously back-pedaling from his earlier Palantir cheerleading. But in private he is refusing to let us see what civil servants told him about Palantir So, with @petergeoghegan.bsky.social, we are taking him to court to try and force him to hand over the briefings.

Carry on.

"Democrats need to break from this path and acknowledge that billionaires—especially those in the increasingly antidemocratic tech sector—are never going to side with them over the GOP." From @alexisgoldstein.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/2087...

Some flea and tick treatments are extraordinarily toxic to wildlife, especially insects and aquatic invertebrates.

I feel so seen: "The larger problem is that car dependency makes the costs of cars invisible — you don’t see the health impacts, the social isolation as directly caused by cars. They’re just “how things are.” Which makes it incredibly hard to build political will to change..."

Pope Leo today: "Blessed are the peacemakers." "Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth."

TRUMP IS DESTROYING AMERICA BECAUSE HE IS A RUSSIAN AGENT THIS BASTARD WORKS FOR RUSSIA NOT FOR AMERICA

Buried 30 paragraphs into this abysmal BBC piece blaming renewables for the high cost of UK electricity is the actual reason it's so expensive, which is fossil gas. But Justin Rowlatt seems uninterested in this detail.

Changing Lanes is “more than a film about bikes and public space,” says Doug Gordon, co-host of The War on Cars podcast. “It’s about who wields power... and how regular citizens can organize... It is very much a movie made for the political and cultural moment the country finds itself in right now.”

The USA has a criminal administration.

It makes perfect sense that 'car bloat' safety discussions focus on big SUVs & pickup truck But this NY Times essay complaining about how expensive our most basic cars have become also points out that sedans are much bigger & much more powerful than they used to be This is not safety neutral

The Occam's Razor for the folks on the right is projection. It is always projection. Voter fraud? Projection. Foreign money used to support their activities? Projection. Paying protestors? Projection. The Party of Bad Faith indeed.

Quick shout out to Gloucester CC. This is Gloc Rd in #Cheltenham Cycle lane provision and not at expense of ped provision— nor bus provision (dedicated bus lane & buses were v well used). 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
