This violence has been normalized and created by a culture devoted to driver at all cost planning. We coddle and bow down to every demand and when there is a human outside of the car sharing the space they are perceived as an obstacle and have already been dehumanized justifying their wrath.

Nah fuck that shit. Guess I'm spending my afternoon doing some complaining.

Nigel Farage Listens to the News

Nope wrong. Also, Terry Pratchett would have told such a horrible bigoted person to get to fuck by all accounts. Like every decent person should.

All this money and work & the road design is still exactly the same as it was when the works started. People have died crossing the road on this bridge. 4 vehicle lanes & tiny pavements before. 4 vehicle lanes & tiny pavements after - Despite motor traffic already being restricted for years. Moronic

Well that's me angry at people for a bit.

Can't take this seriously while the PM and UK Govt remain on X. You are enabling the enrichment of a man you accuse of whipping up hatred.

Shut up you absolute clowns be ashamed you absolute dingbats with your "always smoke with a filter" > Removing “please”, “thank you” and other unnecessary words from AI prompts could save 87 to 98 gigawatt-hours of electricity per year, the report from the UN Unhinged and shameful

This is so so sad. www.france24.com/en/culture/2...

The longer we take to brand Farage's form of politics FASCISM the harder it will be. @rosatkins.bsky.social @itvnews.bsky.social @channel4news.bsky.social @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social At the very least compare our contemporary right wing to historical fascists. Why wouldn't you? 😇

Edinburgh’s premier and busiest pedestrian street is open to drunk drivers but not bikes? @stephenjenkinson.bsky.social www.edinburghlive.co.uk/news/edinbur...

It's my birthday! 🤗 As per tradition, I'm humbly asking for some reposts of this or any other of my art today ❤️

JESUS CHRIST WHAT IS IT WITH THE SUPREME COURT AND BULLSHIT LILE THAT.

They are coming for everyone, starting with the most marginalized and vulnerable groups. This is one fight.

Just sayin’

Please take time to contact your MP, front load the email with your own personal take - just a few lines to personalise why you oppose the code. It'll take 5 mins.

Did Astrid Cooper think she'd come across as anything other than a whiny entitled and selfish git? Parking on the footway says to me that she doesn't care about anyone else. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Vermeer’s Girl With The Pearl Earring will be shown in Osaka, later this year, and the press conference was as Japanese as you’d expect #Vermeer

Clearly not all Edinburgh tram lines are equal. The same arguments that support the South Sub apply to the North-South route through #Roseburn. It's just that with the latter a local minority get to decide whether or not it goes ahead.

Public reporting provides eyes 24/7, deterrence, enforcement opportunities and saves lives. We accept public reporting for every other crime type, so why such contention re road crime? Do otherwise law-abiding road offenders fail to recognise the harm they cause? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

You have to give Blair credit: not only is he a hated war criminal, stooge for most of the worst petro-regimes on the planet and ID card-obsessed mark for technofascism, but his political instincts are utter dogshit as well. Yet he still thinks he should show his face in public?

How many heatwaves is it going to take until there’s meaningful systemic change here in the UK? Because right now the media/politicians only talk about it when it’s actually hot, we all have a good complain and then it’s right back to complacency

Look, can someone just find the Ark of the Covenant in that warehouse and let him open it?

Excited to cross out 'anonymously quoted in the road.cc live blog' on my 2026 bingo card

"AI as a Fascist Artifact" Quite a long read by @tante.cc

This is also a generation whose entire lives have been lived in austerity, with playgrounds, youth services, libraries, community centres, high streets, etc. disappearing and disinvested. That doesn’t get a mention in this report on Milburn’s review. And even covid seems a bit of an afterthought.

Did a Tweet about how landlords were costing the UK government £40 bn a year in housing benefit and it made landlords really mad.

Lee Anderson accompanied newly elected councillor Andy Arnold to have their sawstika tattoo covered up. The tattoo artist had a swastika tattoo. We are not fucking angry enough.

Bicycles are hugely space efficient, which is why they make a lot of sense in congested cities. This video demonstrates why there aren’t traffic jams in bike lanes. Just imagine the traffic queues if every bicycle here was a car.

1. Think how to help keep my dogs cool on such a hot day. 2. Close blinds. 3. Turn on fan. 4. Put down cooling pads. 5. Realise dogs aren’t even in the room. 6. Look for dogs. 7. Find dogs lying in the hottest part of the garden, panting like idiots.

To a humanist, mortality shapes life and gives it meaning. We're focused on living well in the here and now, not on any afterlife. The one thing we can be certain of, is that we're alive, now, and that we should all remember: to party on, dudes.

Right outside a primary school 😬 Close to the time pupils arrive When are we getting proper school streets, with no access to vehicles? www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottis...

Just happened to turn up this incredible drawing of a mine when looking for something else, you should all pore over it and share widely. It's like industrial xkcd.

*glub*

He is indeed a traitor who has been disowned by his family but is proud and just spouting the same tired tankie and propaganda talking points. He can't criticise Putin or even say it's a war or he will be put into the meat grinder like all the rest and rot away on Ukrainian soil.

NOT NOW, RADIOACTIVE MUTANT SUPER PIGS.

One of the most psychotic legal proposals I've ever seen

- Subsidising consumption in the face of a supply shock - reducing incentives to drive less/switch to EVs - using up limited fiscal space to help better-off drivers rather than the most vulnerable. Hard to think of a worse policy right now.

💔For emergency workers in Ukraine, moments like this are overwhelming. This photo is more than just an image — it’s the reality Ukraine lives with every day.

Want to support the travelling public? OK, but *has* to be equitable. So, where are the plans to reduce bus and train fares? Why not also provide bungs to pedestrians, and pay cyclists? Why just motorists?
