Last week, two 3-tonne lock gates arrived on the Regent’s Canal, to be craned into place near the Islington Tunnel. www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/rep...

This is absolutely glorious in its horror. More fuel for the anti AI fire. www.reddit.com/r/london/s/6...

Trump Imposes 100% Tax On Movies Where Slaves Escape

Recurring 'the countryside is an industrial landscape' klaxon.

“Hey Megyn Kelly, I'm Eloise & I'm 14y” “kids my age aren't supposed to be the ones correcting you. We're not supposed to be the moral compass in a room full of adults who should have known better. But here we are“ ”You're protecting the predator! & you shouldn't need a freshman to tell you that.”

I've read reports there were 6 under 25's in the car. A VW Golf. One of the 6 survived with serious injuries. Not alleging recklessness, but you don't get 6 adults safely seated in a Golf. 😬

I have regularly pass along school streets at drop off / pick up times. There's a hardcore of drivers who just won't change, even with public space measures or threat of lingering traffic wardens. I've seen some absolutely deranged parking. Even using the boundary of the school street as a kerbline.

Someone needs to collect their brain cooked boomer dad.

Look behind you? “Taxpayers shouldn’t be footing the bill for luxury leisure.” Says govt source. Will that apply to the £4bn a year in fuel duty freeze costs, which go to drivers on the highest incomes the most?

Extent to which rich old men are discreet about their paedophilic crimes.

This has all the hallmarks of red meat to the gutter press: low level anti cycling, going after high earning white collar workers while saying you are doing it to support fairness and the underprivileged. As many have said, peanuts next to electric car subsidies.

It reminds me of this quote from the person who called every single person in Maxwell’s black book: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Musk doesn't even realise the historic truth of who our elders are: There to give us salient and wise home truths.

Israeli soldiers who raped to death a Palestinian hostage got a standing ovation in court. God's Chosen Rapists; Israel is a sick country.

Another banger for the Michael Shannon file: www.theguardian.com/film/2025/no...

Petition to honor Michael Shannon every Jan. 6

Today I also learned how to set up an Avid BB7 cable disc brake.

Actually had to use a tyre boot today. Second puncture in 2 days around Nags Head, Holloway. This time a proper tyre slicer. Roads are disgustingly sharp round there.

From what was the bike industry's largest cash raise for a brand to scale rapidly, to now a potential closure by January. Rad Power Bikes' steady wind-up appears imminent. Will the bike trade do anything differently next time a black swan event arrives? www.cyclingelectric.com/news/rad-pow...

I’m old enough to remember when the Director General of the BBC categorically didn’t resign after one of its flagship politics shows literally photoshopped Jeremy Corbyn with a Soviet hat and painted red with the Kremlin in the background like some kind of Cold War-era communist mural.

Still possibly one of the greatest Armistice Day tweets of all time from the good old days on Twitter. #inremembrance #lestweforget #cockdestroyer

Fucking pathetic. We used to be a country. Etc etc.

CEO of Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management: "There is a very low level of ecological literacy being displayed by ministers. Nothing I have seen or heard gives me comfort that Rachel Reeves understands the importance of nature to economic and social wellbeing. Nothing."

All those people who think they can dodge the effects of the climate crisis because they live in a nice developed country are about to get punched in the face. It’s coming in hard everywhere.

I’d always wondered why no one had ever published a full, detailed map of the 1960s plan to turn London into a giant web of US-style urban motorways…. It turns even the politicians and designers didn’t make one at the time. It just didn’t exist. Until now.

The UK is behaving abysmally.

So I saw Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein last week and was inspired to build The creature

Frankly I think this is perhaps the biggest cognitive blind spot most people suffer on some level. A form of lack of spatial awareness that their actions have consequences beyond themselves. Or they don't care. Neither is social.

“We tend to treat the car as a closed thing, ignoring its impact on the environment, the climate, & the pedestrian,. We need to think about big cars in the same way that we think about cigarettes: Affecting not just the user, but everyone around the user.” .

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

Honestly don’t know how we ever come back from this.

Almost as if they're trying to provoke us into stringing the entire oligarch class up from lamp posts at this point. And does anyone in the USA of any power save Mamdani have any backbone at all?

lol

Oh look at that it’s just Keir Starmer being an actual comic book villain again

Mamdanigrad (formerly New York City), will stand as a shining example to the world of what is possible when the workers unite, and crush the bourgeois class with an iron fist (mild increase in minimum wage, free buses, etc).

This is the best thing I’ve seen all day.

Cycling's problem is that the default approach is enthusiasts selling to enthusiasts. Which has no conception of how to deal with non enthusiasts. Same in the cycling advocacy world to a certain extent. Same brick walls in getting cargo bikes into motor centric companies.

I'm just asking questions.

I’m sure Matt Goodwin will be along shortly to tell us all whether LNER Customer Service Host Samir Zitouni counts as British or not. news.sky.com/story/train-...

Genuine question, why is the Israeli state so psychopathic?

London's Ringways are a whole network of unbuilt urban motorways threaded through the capital. There's never been a complete map of them,not even one made by their designers, until now. Today we're publishing the Ringways Map from @roads.org.uk to let you see in the city that London nearly became.

Dubious 'e-bike' product listings from Argos and Very found without illegal for road use disclaimers. + I have again found evidence that eBay is still selling products flagged by the Office for Product Safety and Standards as a fire risk. www.cyclingelectric.com/news/illegal...

Can anybody clarify whether the motorcycle CBT in the UK has been updated with the most recent highway code changes? My cursory research says that it hasn't been updated since 2017 and is long overdue.

So, @realgdt.bsky.social Frankenstein is possibly the most complete work of his I've ever seen. Every one of his personal themes on full gas, and it was glorious. So many evocative things, I got some of The Keep in the "monster", and the setting was wonderfully akin to the artic series The Terror.

Anyone checked out the Wikipedia entry for Supergran lately?
