J.D. Vance: "When you look at all the crime Republicans are getting away with today, it's hard to imagine America thought what Nixon did was unacceptable"

It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23

🛑 LATEST: (Another) UK Prime Minister Recruitment Ad. 👇🏻 Please watch and share: youtu.be/5NPD12TE7W4?...

Can I just say re. the now international laughing stock of the Washington reflecting pool, this is harder to get right than it looks. There are three things here - microbiology, adhesion, and cleaning. All three are predictably hard. As it happens I have experience in all 3 areas... (1)

When reality surpasses fiction! Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming. Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.

Politics in the UK is in a mess, but it's calm and organised compared to what's going on over the pond... 😬

Happy UK voted to make itself worse (in many ways as it turns out) day. And still most of UK politics tries to ignore it, while a significant minority of our county folk are emboldened by the same collection of far right hooligans that convinced people to vote to be worse off. #BrexitDecade

The one thing the #ActiveTravel community has been crying out for is multi-year funding settlements. So what do they get? @lauralaker.bsky.social

It's not that there isn't money for improving transport infrastructure, It's that this government has decided that the biggest share of spending should go to dualling the A9, an additional spend of nearly £2 billion just announced. Imagine £2 b on active travel! www.scotsman.com/news/transpo...

Glasgow is having to scale back its ambitions for cycle infrastructure due to changes national funding. From 270km to 54.4km. Not good enough @johnswinney.bsky.social 😩😡 www.glasgowlive.co.uk/news/glasgow...

I don't watch football very often...and coverage on STV doesn't exactly encourage me to watch more...🙄

Meanwhile, here in Scotland... I'm still waiting for the police to even just speak to the driver (never mind charge) who assaulted me back in November (all very clear on camera). Yes the officer dealing with it has been off sick, but in that situation you pass it to another officer! 😩

Another fantastic video by Glasgow Cyclist highlighting the cycle infrastructure improvements in Glasgow. Lots still to do do, but progress! youtu.be/rZYUCjhv3XI?...

A driver was trapped and seriously injured on the A14 — and 11 people slowed down to FILM it. Disgraceful. No empathy. No decency. Just content. We tracked every one of them down. All prosecuted. Good. 👏 #RoadSafety” www.northants.police.uk/news/northan...

On tech policy, just follow @heatherburnstech.bsky.social - spot-on again and again, sadly.

The administration’s rapid response account is… mad at the Weather Channel. For reporting the weather.

Breaking News! Code Yikes! How hot is this El Nino? Not only is the sea-surface temperatures in the Nino 3.4 region on June 13th the hottest on record since 1982, the temperature is a mind-blowing 0.72°C hotter than any previous June 13th.

Bees be a buzzin' 😀

The government needs to leave X. EVERYONE needs to leave X.

"Multiculturalism has failed," says the former British Home Secretary, herself a Buddhist born in Harrow to a Kenyan of Goan Catholic descent and a Mauritian Hindu of Tamil descent, educated in New York, and married to a Jewish South African who lived in Israel.

Ever seen a group of immigrants behave like this?

I see the gender fluidity in fiction discourse has raised its head again. I think this time it’s thanks to Rick Riordan’s old Twitter post doing the rounds once more. I’m not linking to the nazi cesspool of Twitter, but the post reads: 1/

The pedestrianization of Broadway through the heart of Manhattan just expanded, and it's glorious:

Please share this as much as you can. It’s hugely important. #60Minutes #ScottPelley

A statement from Sikh MPs on the murder of Henry Nowak.

The significant lack of forward planning from this driver and the resulting red light jump this morning definitely resulted from MGIF fever... 🤦🏻‍♂️ (front camera footage in next post) #DNRPoliceScotland

I was really proud to chair the Fire Committee last year in London. And particularly proud to see the Fire Brigade Union come out so clearly on this. 👏🏼🏳️‍⚧️

I've been saying. 🫠 It also isn't just science. This is *all the agencies*. If you think the federal government has basically *ever done anything useful* - this is where we have to lay down and stop things. Coming back from this is... decades at best.

Yeah, Google's new Health app (that's replacing Fitbit) is definitely passive aggressive... 'That wasn't exactly the relaxed commute we talked about'... 🤔🙄

So Fitbit has now updated with an AI thing. 🙄 It turns out it is pretty passive aggressive! 'Since you've ignored the 'light day' memo twice now, make sure you're properly refueling and staying off the bike for the rest of the day.' Hmm. Tempted to go for another bike ride now!

Now I truly understand how evil n=n+1 is... 😱

This isn’t a spoof. It is, in fact, real. Hopefully they also included a replica pedestrian crossing to park the Range Rover on. 🤢 www.rhs.org.uk/shows-events...
