Nice to see this piece on our final @playingout.bsky.social conference www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Cyclists go on the sidewalk when the road is unsafe. Drivers go on the sidewalk when they get impatient.

The latest episode of Philosophy Tube is about conversion therapy, why it’s still legal in the UK, and the ways the British government is implicated in it making it NHS policy. Proud to expose this stuff ✊ youtu.be/_S5w18sjYLk?...

There is no solar power crisis. No wind power crisis. No insulation crisis. No heat pump crisis. No e-bike crisis. No electric bus crisis. But there is a #fossilfuel crisis. And a #climatecrisis.

Absolute classic of late stage capitalist civilisation that the true shift to renewable energy wont come from not wanting to make the planet inhabitable but because fascists bombing for kicks and zealotry blocked up the supply chain

Lands End to John O'Groats is over 1,400km. I have ridden that route twice, once in 2 weeks and the second time a more relaxed 3 weeks. The idea that cycling 1,000km in 8 days is "incredible" is misleading and makes cycling seem difficult when it is very achievable www.bbc.co.uk/live/cjd9g7v...

The Labour Party is digging itself into a very deep hole. They are relying on the right wing media to take their side despite the lies they are telling about @greenparty.org.uk policy. Remember this is the party that sacked Prof David Nutt for telling the truth. profiles.imperial.ac.uk/d.nutt

I did a deep dive into five Cybertruck fires. What I learned was the truck's design can hamper rescue efforts and lead to worst-case scenarios where fires rapidly ignite, the vehicle’s electric door handles won’t unlock and passengers are trapped inside www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

"Insiders regard him as a very similar figure to Davie" In other words someone with little editorial experience who will be under the control of Robbie Gibb. This could lead to the destruction of the BBC. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

As they scale, autonomous vehicles are likely to cause crippling congestion. Two reasons: 1) Their users will take more and longer car trips 2) They often drive around empty Result: More vehicles on the road, more pollution, and more traffic Me in @bloomberg.com 🧵

The Government must immediately ban political donations made through cryptocurrency until firm rules can be developed, to keep UK politics safe from illicit finance, cross-party Committee finds committees.parliament.uk/committee/11...

@edplowden.bsky.social @bristolgreenparty.bsky.social An interesting view on connectivity by different modes of transport.

When people use language, we are not engaged in the activity of simply "creating output" in the form of text. We are using it to communicate ideas, to other people. >>

Just remember to put something heavy in the envelope to make it cost even more!

I don’t choose that word lightly. The idea that an entire field of medicine, as well as numerous academic journals, systematically suppressed evidence that gender-affirming care doesn’t work is a conspiracy theory. Meanwhile, none of these people can provide a shred of evidence for their core claim

Weird how every journalist writing ‘balanced’ feature stories on this issue turns out to be a deranged conspiracist and ideologue the second you hear them speak off the cuff

This looks like there will be some former car park sites that could be used to provide homes @bristolgreenparty.bsky.social

I rode enough of this route last month to know that it is less than ideal.

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

Cause: Donald Trump Effect: Rising oil prices Meantime on Fox News there are plenty of people willing to spout lies.

It is *fascinating* to me how quickly some people have gone completely from “we all must work in the office! human collaboration is vital and only happens in person!” to “I can replace all these pesky people with chatbots!” Definitely some commentary there about our society and who gets to choose.

I always ride my bike wearing all black with no lights because drivers have far less trouble seeing cyclists they can be furious about being unable to see than they do seeing cyclists wearing hi viz and using appropriate lights who they might have to wait a few seconds to drive safely around.

On March 3rd we held an event to launch our Trans Lives 2025 Report. @zackpolanski.bsky.social spoke of the need for intersectional, cross-party working and the power of solidarity. Download and read the Trans Lives Report here: transactual.org.uk/trans-lives-... #TransLives #Solidarity

Labour MPs on bluesky defending the health secretary are in for a shock on Friday when I blow the lid off the conversion therapy being done on the NHS on his watch

This Labour MP quote has 4 likes, with 71 quote tweets and 275 replies from trans people, parents of trans kids, academics and professionals who know just how terrible Labour's ideological healthcare policy for trans kids is. Are Labour 'allies' paying any attention at all?

This, in Ealing, is the correct way to install standalone on-street public EV chargepoints, in case anyone is wondering

These two things do not go together. Cheering on support for trans rights calling out our oppression, next day go out campaigning for the party doing said oppression

Nature Publishing Group finding more dastardly ways to lock us in, well beyond what I complained about in my letter declining reviewing for them

The best thing about this is that of the three headline speakers about young people "moving to the right", at least two of them recently lost an election to the Green Party.

An approach we need round here... @bristolgreenparty.bsky.social @edplowden.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

We have written to Wes Streeting over the fact that his decision to pause the trial seems to have been based entirely on a letter whose author has now been recused due to bias.

Avon and Somerset police acknowledged it is “institutionally racist” in 2023. But since then, only 1 of 166 complaints has led to misconduct proceedings. I told @hyphenonline.com I'd take this up directly with the constabulary. We can't tackle racism without action. hyphenonline.com/2026/03/11/p...

In the news today, a cyclist on the pavement who killed a man is charged with manslaughter. By contrast, here's a van driver who killed a little girl. He was driving on the pavement: common, and illegal. Killed her. Only charged with dangerous driving. Fully let off. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-engl...

🚨 WATCH: Labour MP Charlotte Nichols reveals she was raped as an MP as she opposes the jury trial reforms "I waited 1,088 days to go to court. We've been told [by the Government] that if we have concerns about this Bill, it's because we've not been raped"

@carladenyer.bsky.social @greenparty.org.uk @bristolgreenparty.bsky.social when you are looking at issues to do with rental properties, you need to look at the issues in this talk by www.linkedin.com/in/josephwilk/ www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AUB...

Where's the balance? Why no comment from @greenparty.org.uk? This is a very one-sided piece. The cost of public transport has gone up far faster than motoring costs. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
