People in cars are doing important things, and their time is valuable. We know this because they are in cars. People not in cars are doing unimportant things, and their time has no value. We know this because, if they were doing important things, they would be in cars.

This is it, this is what we need: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It's honestly wild that pedestrians - people mostly travelling entirely under their own steam - are almost always expected to travel significantly out of their way to accommodate the caprices of people using machines the whole purpose of which is to make it trivially easy to travel further.

Just visited a record shop in Burnley which is a genuine antediluvian relic, strong smell of mildew and the original 1960s listening booths still intact

Make bad art. Especially if your job is making good art. You gotta let go my friends. You gotta create just for the sake of creating. Let it out. Make a mark. Share it with nobody but yourself. Indulge in the act of creation. It's what humans are made for.

I knead (ha ha) to know what every single one of those bakes is.

It’s beyond time we scared the living daylights out of the obscenely wealthy, particularly if what scares them most is <checks notes> being taxed fairly.

Pine Marten (Martes martes) at a site in Co. Tipperary, April 2026. Once greatly reduced in range and abundance in Ireland due to deforestation and persecution, this species has made a strong and ongoing recovery over recent decades.

Unresolved anxiety

German train station names that promise more than they actually deliver (for @jonnelledge.bsky.social). This optimistically named train station in Brandenburg serves a tropical theme park in the district of Dahme-Spreewald. As you can see, however, the weather there is rarely tropical.

Bottrop-Boy always makes me giggle. Never been to Wilder Mann, but probably should… Bochum-Riemke was (between 1993 and 2009) named Bochum-Nokia because of the next door Nokia factory. Sure there’s other amusing station names in the Bundesrepublik!

Depluralize a movie: Schindler's Bullet Point

Imagine being able to take a summer's day and fit it inside a box?

Easter is here.

Easter egg (and yes, it is a painting) Artist: Harry Wingfield from First Picture Book, 1971) Happy Easter

I’ve just visited Vilnius: a fabulous city, mostly immaculately restored and renovated. There aren’t many obviously Soviet buildings left, yet this decaying brutalist slab occupies prime real estate right on the bank of the Neris river. It’s the Sporto Rumai (Sports Palace), completed in 1971. 1/n

Space. Pop: 14 OK so it has been higher (19 in 2024) but I think this is the first time it will remain at that level for a significant amount of time. (Previous records often included crews arriving and departing from ISS or shorter missions than Artemis 2).

Here are 9 more colourful entries from Condover's parish registers (all mid 18th century). And I think I've saved the best for last ... 1. 'Elizabeth a Bastard Daughter of Mary Bromley a most foresworn abominable whore was baptised the 6th [March 1748]

Elizabeth, Lady Wilbraham (1632 – 1705) was a member of the English aristocracy and a major architectural patron. Unable to become an architect because she was a woman, she studied in Italy and tutored Christopher Wren, who may have been given credit for hundreds of her designs. #CelebratingWomen

Help needed! I am on a quest to find the least safe station in the UK and I need your recommendations of the worst out there, in particular for women and girls. This is for a THING that will help change them, and I am coming to visit the three worst, so fire away. 1/2

Serendipitous juxtaposition

The hardest room to escape.

A very happy 100th birthday to the Double Yellow signal aspect! Apparently on 21 March 1926 the Southern Railway first introduced 4-aspect colour light signalling between Holborn and Elephant & Castle. (Apologies for the crap picture, it's the only [recent] image of a double-yellow signal I have!)

Whoa

I love this video with my entire heart.

CILIP & CILIP School Libraries Group continue supporting this school librarian member through this unprecedented and worrying situation

There's a phrase in 'The Whitsun Weddings' which I love, when Larkin describes finding his seat on the train, sitting down, and: 'all sense / Of being in a hurry gone.' I often have exactly that feeling when travelling, and the line comes back to me. The syntax of it is so unmistakable.

Funny bit of trolling by the civil servant who put together this chart in the Land Use Framework. Solar energy - a fixation of the rural right - so negligible in percentage land use terms there's not enough space to put a number.

One of the greatest #sportsball moments of all time of all time! Fantastic picture but it's even better watched live followed by his unstoppable celebration! 😃🇧🇲 #TheCricket #Leverock #Bermuda youtu.be/j7JqnXrvmx8?...
