Long-term exposure to the Daily Mail 'changes brain structure, leaving readers at significant risk of radicalization, demotivated and unable to deal with the reality'

Happy days! The 24 hour clock in our car is 'right'. Ie 12 hours fast, instead of 11 - as it has been for the last 6 months.

It's not about the flags, Matthew. This is about a small group of thugs who are traveling around the country in their cherry picker, looking for trouble. They live streamed themselves and took delight at being abusive to anyone who engaged with them.

Niche tip for anyone who commutes from Oxford to London, and uses a Lime bike to get to their office... An Hour Lime pass costs £5 in Oxford, and £7 in London. Buy your pass in Oxford and save a whopping £2 pound on your commute

EXPOSED. Daily Mail editorial line... FURY as short them interests of global capital are at risk! MUST NOT let readers consider that reducing dependence on fossil fuels offers huge personal and social benefits. MUST maintain culture war heuristics so as to avoid rational thoughts of readers.

Plumber wins by-election for Greens From the new Private Eye, in shops now.

Landscape ecological restoration. It can be done but we need to get a move on. This is Carrifran where the sheep were removed to allow this native woodland to take over.

Well done, and Congratulations to Hannah Spencer and the Green party! I'm planning to celebrate tonight with a bottle of Champagne paired with Tofu 'Fish' and chips. Champagne socialist, Tofu Wokerati and proud 😎

Keeping it local. With the beer from the excellent Church Hanbrewery micro brewery. Brought from their micro bar, the Tear Drop, on a swift after work visit to the Covered Market yesterday. Cheers

Really great to speak to the wonderful Big Issue recently about transport policy in Oxford www.bigissue.com/news/environ...

Do you own an Electric vehicle, and was your decision informed by your concern for the environment?

Greens take Reform seat in first of its kind win

Hi Joanna, I just read your piece on these protests. I was interested to see the pictures of the farmer with the black 'Together' placard. This bunch have a history of co-opting populist causes. Lockdown, 15 minute cities etc. This rentamob have a history in Oxford www.desmog.com/2024/05/24/t...

Any moment now RT / Russian Today are going to show up this clip as evidence that the UK doesn't have freedom of speech anymore.

This, but not just people from the left. Sure, you are loving, compassionate, and you are concerned about the welfare of other animals, so long as those animals are you pets, or you consider them to be cute.

I don't blame Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson for my wife's long COVID. Nor do I blame him for her needing to use a wheelchair to get through an airport with chronic fatigue. However, it's unforgivable that Johnson doesn't understand the role of COVID or his failures in the pandemic.

The best thing about Chipping Norton at Christmas is the Henry nativity scene.

Of course, @oxfordclarion.bsky.social, I do think you missed a trick with not giving an honourable mention to Oriel’s Grade I listed cat flap

Bless the reactionary right, and their semantic grievances. Their rules: A fake plastic Christmas Tree must be called a Christmas tree. A vegetarian burger has absolutely no business being called a burger And don't get them started on soya milk.

Retweeting this important thread due to Florence's connection to Oxford 🙂

Exactly this. *Thinking of buying a new car? Here you go, here's £3,750 of tax payers money to encourage you to do so. No questions asked. Can we help pay for your charget as well? *Thinking about buying a new bike? Maybe an electric cago bike as your family vehicle? Sorry, not interested.

@nathanley.com It seems that Reach plc have completed their fall from a local newspaper to an clickbait grievance generator. I'm left wondering if Matt Simpson is an actual journalist, or AI bot tasked with providing the worst possible interpretation of actual events.

For over three years long COVID has had a devastating impact on my wife. She tried everything, and there's been a slight recovery over the years. Something remarkable has happened. In her 3 trimester of pregnancy her energy increased. Now, with a young baby, symptoms have almost entirely gone.

Oxford's car first lobby are so very close to getting it. You can have trees and 'nice public spaces' Or You can have car parking and car first streets. You can't have both.

It's ironic really. 'Open Roads for Oxford' campaign against traffic filters, and traffic restrictions. They are using a picture of Broad Street to illustrate an Open Roads. The reason Broad Street is an Open Road, is entirely due to it's traffic filters and traffic restrictions.

Irresponsibly posting my location on social media. (Halloween edition)

Four days to go for this consultation: letstalk.oxfordshire.gov.uk/east-st-hele... If you have a few minutes to respond positively to this scheme which will make it dramatically nicer to walk, wheel, cycle, scoot in my town, I would very much appreciate it My long video included below Thank you!

An essential thread that addresses the myths and self deceptions behind common ethical, environmental, or welfare reasons people give to justify their animal protein laced diet.

Distribute Oxford Congestion charge permits to everyone in the city. People holding permits at the end of the year receive compensation for any remaining permits, paid for from charges. Okay, this has its flaws, but it's a an incentive and compensation to people who are not part of the problem.

NEW: The British politician, his Russian intelligence handler & a Kremlin plot against the US & Ukraine. My new piece about Nathan Gill and Nigel Farage for @thenerve_news in which we ask: Why, even now, is no-one asking questions? t.co/BUTtpK9C4S

Does anyone else go out of their way to avoid shopping in Tesco / Sainsburys? It pisses me off that you are increasingly pushed to be a card holding member, and data provider to get discounts. I refuse to show any loyalty to a supermarket. They can fuck off. www.theguardian.com/money/2025/o...

An excellent explainer about improvements planned for Abingdon town centre. Improvements for pedestrian access to Market Square. The proposed changes also connect the missing link in NCN5, meaning that you'll now be able to cycle along this stretch of the national cycle route!

I love the way that Billy Brag leads Twice to make his claim about sharia courts. Twice takes the bait, and with the context from Brag, Twice shows himself as the reactionary racist and / or wannabe populist he is.

An excellent exploration into the music genre Falcid House. Flaciiiid🙂🙂

Whitney's delighted with her new box, that came with a box insert. Big box, small cat. No problem.

Over the years I've spent a lot of money in Hoyles I always have made a point of cycling or taking the bus in, instead of Amazon. I think she might be misjudging her market. Especially as you can't drive or park anywhere near to her shop.

In Abingdon cats have been known to set bylaws

Half our problem is we've allowed fools to go unchallenged. While a sanitised and polished response is developed and signed off, the cranks fill the space.

If preaching "Love all stop hate" is left wing, what's the equivalent right wing sentiment? Actually, don't answer that. Compassion shouldn't be a wedge issue, despite the best efforts of click bait media.

Someone, anyone?

Absolutely brilliant 👇😀😀😀

Eau mate, surely?
