The official BBC response is ‘this is fine and normal‘ “It’s not new for BBC News to use the logos of different parties to illustrate their position on certain issues. It's something we do occasionally to help audience understanding and this will continue in the future.”

Part of pushing back against car culture, driverless or otherwise, is pushing back against the idea that everyone has a right to be dropped off directly in front of their destination.

"More cars means less space to walk, cycle, push a pram or use a mobility aid safely. It means the stress of navigating noisier & more congested streets. Ultimately it means less diversity in street activity." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Hello, I am Alex Goldman, the host of @hyperfixedpod.bsky.social and the former host of Reply All, which some of you probably listened to and liked. I have noticed that a lot of former Reply All listeners have no idea my show exists, so I feel like there's a big untapped audience out there.

that “never mind the manosphere” headline was so bad, so i actually read the article to see if they matched up and i think it was misleading, actually. the headline *should* have been “can you believe we paid this cunt to write this shit?”

“A caring health system would place staff and patient health and wellbeing at the centre of policy decisions and promote improved public transport and active travel options as a way to achieve this, while also contributing to wider environmental and public health benefits.“

In the last 10 years, the licence fee has only gone up by £34.50/year. In the same time, for the same deal (HD, no ads), Netflix has gone up by almost double that, £67.08/year. And that’s just for Netflix, not the ENTIRE BBC.

Avant / Après Rue du Bourg Tibourg dans Paris Centre. L'actuelle place piétonne au bout de la rue quand elle débouche sur la Rue de Rivoli est méconnaissable sur la photo de 1970 - où l'aspect "place" n'existait pas. D'ailleurs la "place" actuelle s'appelle toujours "rue" comme avant.

The square on the right used to be a big parking lot. And their were 4 car lanes instead of 2 for public transport. Like many other cities, Utrecht was very much car-oriented. But Utrecht made some tough and bold choices and became the city many people admire today. Change is possible!

In Britain you can get to adulthood with wonky teeth because the NHS is amazing. The poor are allowed to keep their teeth, not just the rich. Basically. Corrected teeth at private expense should be a social shame.

Joz is the real deal. We made a very silly and slightly strange thing called “The Dream Factory” that certain gatekeepers didn’t get and put the kybosh on it. The show is still on Sounds. People who like it, really like it.

Henry VIII wrote Greensleeves as a means of alerting his subjects that ice cream was nearby

When Pont Adolphe in Luxembourg was closed to reinforce the structure so that a tram line could be laid on top, a walking and cycling bridge was suspended beneath the arch structure to minimize inconvenience. Now you can enjoy the sound of birds instead the sound traffic while crossing the bridge!

Don’t let anyone tell you that streets have to be dedicated to cars and can’t be made better for people. We’re doing it in Paris, and once it’s done, it’s hard to not ask yourself why it wasn’t done earlier.

Hi, my name is Alex Goldman and I host the @hyperfixedpod.bsky.social I used to host the Reply All podcast, and I have found that so many people who liked Reply All have no idea Hyperfixed exists. It's super frustrating because I have no idea how to reach those people.

Some people still think speed limits are set based on objective standards but they are, in fact, political—an expression of our values (speed v. safety). There's no reason for speed limits to suddenly rise when you cross from the London Borough of Camden into Barnet, but they do.

The celebs weren't paid so only lost time. But the production company (or maybe Channel 4 who I suspect will still pay for it) and the charity the show starts will no doubt lose money on this. So please support them! shop.cancerresearchuk.org/pages/stand-...
