The world isn’t asking Russia to stop bombing children, it’s asking Ukraine to stop hitting oil refineries. Let that sink in. open.substack.com/pub/shaunpin...

“The city’s transition away from the car, tho fantastically chaotic, has become a global role model. Under mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social, Paris was ‘the most influential city in the world’ says Canadian urbanist Brent Toderian. Hidalgo, stepping down after 12 yrs, exulted: ‘The bike beat the car.’”

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

Wes Streeting wants more 'donations' from Palantir and/or Mossad lobbyists... 'Health Sec Wes Streeting is 'looking into' using a break clause to end Palantir's big NHS contract ...but the US tech firm is urging ministers not to give in to "some ideologically motivated campaigners"' via 38 Degrees

Again, notice how nobody was ever wrong about what this is, and that instead they just… quit roaring abuse at people who recognised it, and stopped talking about it at all.

Psychologist says: "Trump has the most severe personality disorder a person can have. Trump is both evil and demented."

The best explanation why millions of Americans worship and support a convicted felon and sexual predator...

Antarctica's 12-month running average temperature is the highest on record. That seems bad. 😟

Macron is trolling Trump! 🔥👍💯 Macron: "When we are serious, we do not say the opposite of what we said the day before. Perhaps we should not speak every day." #cdnpoli

Doesn't pay any tax in the UK because he ran away to the Tax Haven Singapore to escape the effects of the Brexit he helped create. Then he bought up hundred of millions of pounds of farmland to avoid tax, then cried when it was made taxable. James Dyson is a scumbag.

“Better to die in Iran for your country and your pride, Then to live in a nation that would ask you to be kind.” Thank You Jesse Welles!

One person who famously overruled his generals was Adolph Hitler. It led to the catastrophic defeat of the German army in Russia and the beginning of the end of Adolph Hitler's 1000-year German Reich.

Russian attack on Ukraine market kills five. It comes after at least 15 civilians were killed in drone and missile strikes across the country on Friday. Major daytime attacks by Russia, which were once rare, have been increasing. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Yes they did. They are tired of the insults, threats, tariffs, etc. - and aren't willing to send their youth to die in an illegal war trump started.

Japan just unveiled a drone made entirely of cardboard. It flies at 120 km per hour, can be assembled in 5 minutes, and is designed to be used in massive swarms. The craziest part is it can be mass produced at any regular cardboard factory. The future is cheap. www.reddit.com/r/SECourses/...

Let's not be #FossilFools and distract from drive for #Renewables, our energy future. " Even in the most optimistic scenario, and assuming none of its gas is exported, Jackdaw would provide just 2% of UK demand over its nine- to 12-year lifetime.” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Tech oligarchs vastly overestimate their own intelligence. They think their personal biases and greed form a groundbreaking political philosophy. It is incredibly pathetic. Henry Ford did the exact same thing almost a hundred years ago, and history remembers him for it

New North Sea drilling would barely reduce UK gas imports at all, data shows Exclusive: research finds Jackdaw field would provide only about 2% of current demand, and Rosebank only 1% www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The next tipping point in the energy transition is approaching. Overall, solar has already been cheaper than fossil power for a while, but upfront costs used to be higher. That's no longer the case. Solar is now competitive upfront AND has vastly lower operating costs (no fuel).

The experts called out Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s “gloves off” approach to the conflict and said the U.S. military conduct could amount to war crimes.

I know this will be a hard watch, but we all should. This part of history for decades has been so distorted, thru glossy Hollywood lens and Western political narrative.
