To whoever thought it was fun to smash beer bottles on the path to the beach, fuck you.

We Americans have a hard time seeing ourselves in the world, and so even when we want to criticize our fascist oligarchs we fail to see the international networks of which they are nodes.

“I’m a supporter of Active Travel... " and then proceeds to be against active travel projects throughout Waterford. 🙄 The Tramore anti-active travel stuff is a joke at this stage.

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces. Equals 10 nuclear reactors Reduces heat island, shades cars The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight. Why aren't we doing this?

"There is no justification for a regressive system in which the super-rich contribute less than the rest of us," write @josephestiglitz.bsky.social, @gabrielzucman.bsky.social, and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social.

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise. He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media. The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

I love this photo of astronaut Christina Koch looking back at Earth from Artemis II. She's the first woman to see the full sphere of our beautiful planet. Welcome home to the crew, and thank you for reminding us of all we can discover together.

first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note

Splashdown! Vehicle is stable and upright. “A perfect bulls-eye splash for Integrity and its four astronauts!” #Artemis

“The effort to quiet Paris complements the wider campaign to make Paris greener, cleaner & less car-dependent, which include vehicle restrictions in the center, crackdowns on polluting vehicles, & an ambitious expansion of bike networks. Those have cut the city’s average noise level by 2 decibels.”

The Muslim Sisters of Éire will not be able to provide their much appreciated soup run to folks in need due to the protest and the blocking of O’Connell Street. "This is especially difficult given that we have been running this service outside the GPO for 11 years."

According to the FB pages of a number of the fuel protest big mouths, Dublin City centre is a crime ridden hellhole filled with nefarious foreigners and drug addicts who'll rob and stab you within minutes, but they also left their big expensive machinery unattended there all night no bother

Fuels counter-protest this evening! ⏰ 5.10pm 📍 Garden of Remembrance 🚲 Cycle to Dáil End fossil fuel dependence 🌏

Kildare Cllr Tom McDonnell addresses the fuel protest crowd in Dublin with calls to forget about Palestine/Israel. Empty the IPAS centres and rage bait the more than willing crowd over attacks on Irish people by African males. But it's all about the fuel crisis right?!

Thanks to everyone who joined our pedal-powered counter-protest against Dublin’s fuel blockades. These actions disrupt the very solutions needed to cut fossil fuel dependence and lower costs. For all! More fossil fuel subsidies won’t fix this. We need real change, starting now.

“In London cyclists now outnumber cars in the City by 2 to 1. Paris, where they now outnumber motorists across the whole city, is catching up with Europe’s traditional bike capitals, Amsterdam & Copenhagen…In Copenhagen, bikes account for almost half of commuter trips to work/school.” @economist.com

Some thoughts about the President of the United States speaking about ending a civilization. The president speaks genocide. Anyone who has been involved in that conversation or associated actions would be complicit. And so we too must speak. Not only about crimes, but about their legal punishment.

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

“Copenhagen reported that 62% of its residents are now commuting to work or school by bike — an increase from 52% in 2015 & 36% in 2012, when the City Council launched a 14-year-plan to improve the quality, safety & comfort of cycling.” #Copenhagen chose. They keep choosing even better every year.

Last year #Utrecht widened ~mile of bike lanes on either side of a major retail, freight, transit street so that people on bikes could safely pass ➕ ride side-by-side. Also added tons of bike parking, parklets, trees, safer street crossings. Lost ~60 car parking spaces. Good choice for any city?

Who are the fuel protesters ‘turning O’Connell Street into a car park’? “he was equally clear that the action was to have an impact. “We’re turning O’Connell Street into a car park,” he said of the plan to bring tractors, trucks, buses and vans into the heart of www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2026...

"My health was preventing me from driving, and my husband is currently deployed. I am at a loss for words about the impact the bike has had and the freedom it has provided. I am beyond grateful for our bike and the bunch community. Thank you." - Amanda in Virginia Beach

With this settlement the US is worse off in every way than it was before the war; Iran is strengthened by the huge new tolls in the Straits of Hormuz, paid by the whole world. (1/14)

Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something. For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.

This is simply genocidal language and is a horror in itself.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

We won't last 33 more months of this. This must stop. We must make it stop.

Not much balanced reporting here, despite the fact the entire bike stand is being removed and there is no replacement for the foreseeable future. What do the users of it do in the meantime?

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. What about painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

Prime Minister Viktor Orban of Hungary has made hostility to Ukraine a centerpiece of his general election campaign. Russia seems determined to repay the favor.

A very special day. We are off and running. It won't be easy but I'll get it done for Tina!

He was in agony when he came in a week ago. He is starting to look and act like a completely different dog now! You love to see it ❤️

Mark Jacob on how the press ignores the biggest Trump story: “The president of the United States is clearly mentally unfit for office."

As far as I can see, the major American publications are not repeating this insane tweet by their president. It needs to be front page news on every media outlet. Everyone needs to see what their deranged president is up to. WHY is this being hidden by the media?

These serious impacts should not be happening under a so-called government road safety strategy with a Vision Zero mandate. Road authorities & road safety agencies continue to let active travel users down with fatal and serious consequences happening far too frequently. @darraghobrientd.bsky.social

“‘All I’m going to say is that I stand by my decision,’ she said… “Much of the audience at the board meeting broke into cheers and applause after her statement. Chants of ‘shame’ were heard as board members voted to fire her...” www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

High speed rail in Canada is a good investment. It’s the kind of ambitious nation-building that actually makes Canada more resilient etc. No surprise, far-right Pierre Poilievre says he’d cancel it, saying it will go over budget. Spoiler—it will. Just like EVERY car highway does. But he likes those.

No one should face arrest, prison, or violence simply for who they are or for expressing affection. Right now, Wendy Faith and Diana Denise need urgent support. Sign the petition and call for their release. a.allout.org/s/P202e/

That’s one hell of a cover…..

Syracuse is named after a classical Greek city known for its practical and artistic ceramics, a city which is now in Italy. When we kill the humanities we kill self-knowledge. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/n...

Yeah, Seoul is another amazing example! Relevant NJB vid for anyone interested:
