One of the biggest things we want readers to take away from “Life After Cars” is that learning to *see* cars is step one on the path to realizing a better world.

I took paracetamol when pregnant and both my children are autistic. So powerful was the effect that it crept backwards up the family tree and made my uncle, cousins, probably my grandpa autistic too.

Makes you wonder how the pandemic would have panned out if it were just health journalists penning the headlines rather than political journalists.

If they’re coming for those with indefinite leave to remain now, they will come for those with (or can get) dual citizenship next

Now that we have achieved the symbolic victory of recognition, it is imperative that we focus on arms shipments to Israel and the use of British neocolonial outposts in aiding Israel and their allies

Make patriotism cringe again

This is an artwork in which brainworms slowly eat away at the article as you read it, leaving behind the words "I'm a public feminist" written in human shit on a wall.

"Elon, ya wee prick, long time no see, min!" "Barry, ya radge, fit like!" "Fits been happening, min? Up teh much?" "jist training my AI to be a nazi super computer and subverting democracy, the usual like, ken. Yersel?" "Shoutin at hotels, f'kin brilliant, min" "F'kin Travel Lodge, right cunts-"

MLK Jr laying it out in economic terms

sending Amy an "I Beat Cancer and All I Got Was This Shithead" t-shirt. #scd #strictly

I like how Marr just keeps talking about all the horrifying shit that everybody knows but is smart enough to not mention on e.g. the podcast of a prominent political magazine

I got 99 problems and 96 of them are things this cat should not have eaten

every time we talk about parental permission in terms of book banning I'm like fuck man. kids have rights too. a 17-year-old should be able to check out books at the library without Mom and Dad stepping in. so should a 10-year-old or 7 or whatever. kids deserve SOME goddamn freedom and privacy

Yes, Financial Times, we know. We told you this shit from the start.

This show has the most bonkers denouement I've ever seen and it's worth watching the whole series just for that. I can't say more because you need the full ".... WHAT" of it.

#OtD 19 Sep 1893 following two decades of struggle, all women in Aotearoa/New Zealand, not just white women or property owners, won the right to vote in parliamentary elections. Māori and working-class women had played an important role in the movement stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9148...

All the people who sneered at Polanski (and at the Scottish Greens) for not immediately promising to stand aside in favour of the mailing list that may never be a party might want to think about what's the most likely route to a meaningful left bloc in parliament at this point.

I have just figured out that the possibility villainous Navy captain on Departure series 3 is Will off Will and Grace and everything is different now.

Can I get a definition of who is and is not “we”, here

Britain's chemical castration plan for sex offenders seems like the most obvious attempt to avoid doing anything about sex offending, while giving the govt an excuse to release large numbers of offenders despite the fact people can and do offend while chemically castrated.

Any worker who tells service users that they work so hard and never take their breaks is invariably a disrespectful, lazy prick

The main story on BBC 6 Music News this morning is that a ‘boat carrying migrants is on its way to France’ Delivered in the same upbeat tone as England winning the women’s Euros. The migration ‘debate’ in this country is unmoored from reality, and the media-political complex is feeding it

Reminder: The existence of these in most Scottish supermarkets and corner shops is proof that anyone shilling for the notion that multiculturalism can't work on this island is a charlatan

Just listed my spare ticket for #SelfEsteem tonight in #Edinburgh because I have no mates, go on the SeeTickets resale and at least give me the money back, promise not to interact with you

The party has no brain better than a racist misogynist (or at the very least an apologist for racism and misogyny) who's stupid enough to talk like that on WhatsApp? A lot of things are becoming very clear, then.

Shout out to everyone only now learning that "Albert Einstein was reclusive at the end of his career, shunning public engagements." Really meant, "For the last *20 years* of his career, Einstein opposed US racism by only speaking publicly at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

The Lib Dems doing a long termist principles thing and a Labour MP being a car lobby shill? Only one of these things is surprising.

Beautiful

Multiple people saying that teacher's daughter and former employee of her parents' company Jess Phillips is a rough class equivalent to former benefits-reliant teenage mum Angela Rayner presumably because you can tell where she's from from her accent?

Jesus. Fucking. Christ.

To potentially oversimplify this, but the number of people arrested at the Palestine Action protests exceeds the entire number of people, on average, attending the anti-asylum hotels protests, yet they are called "fringe" and those outside hotels are called the "voice of the people".

"Counter" used to mean making a move opposed to something, rather than moving into full alignment. Domain specific language change in action there.

Jonny through the round window. Note that I couldn't crop the picture any closer without missing some whiskers

There is, demonstrably, no god, because I watched almost 5 minutes of the Thursday Murder Club film and somebody wrote that badly for Helen Mirren and was not boiled alive in oil as a punishment.

Let's celebrate with a day of music by Freddie and today's immigrants, queers and other undesirables. May we love them before they die.

Linehan is frankly extremely lucky that David Tennant and others chose not to pursue defamation cases against him. It’s likely that they made this decision to protect their own families

Wes Streeting once again campaigning for ‘Worst Gay of The Year’ award.

I also think the fervour with which Graham and his allies are crying "Police State" would make more sense if he was not literally the only person I've ever known to gloat about getting someone - the teenager currently taking him to court for criminal damage - arrested for tweets they posted.

Well, there we have it. Keir Starmer comes to the aid of a man who was arrested for inciting violence against trans women.

Reminder that jobs done mostly by women are still real jobs and I'm sure a nursery would have a hard hat for the politician to wear during the announcement if that would make them feel better.

Aside from us not needing to hear from this nasty piece of shit any more, why does that photo make him look like a bobblehead made of flesh?

I’d add two pretty obviously dubious claims in the PE report (read it carefully and you’ll see weasel words creeping in to hide the weaknesses): (1) that the (express) agreement to incorporate the ECHR into NI law with access to courts and remedies doesn’t mean “ECHR as interpreted by the ECtHR);

Amazing story: one of the organisers of the group putting Union Flags up around Manchester previously did time for being part of a people smuggling gang. manchestermill.co.uk/manchester-f...

Your statutory reminder that urban Edinburgh is ~6% golf courses by area

'AN ENORMOUS BLOW' screams the headline. then the article immediately concedes that ticket sales are 'booming'. and the festivals they told us Fossil Free Books was KILLING are in fact...doing fine? www.thebookseller.com/news/an-enor...

Delighted in particular with the election of @gillianmacmsp.bsky.social as co leader of the SGP. She's effective and principled. Hoping that her being on maternity leave doesn't further encourage the media in their tendency to ignore our female co leaders completely.

Cishet white men make up the majority of sexual predators, and are the biggest threat, and the failure to focus on that is the problem. Holyrood banning trans people from toileting while this was going on shows what a farce transphobia is. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

That whole Derry Girls finale versus the stars of Derry Girls when they speak about Palestine.
