Them: this council / cycle lanes / foreigners have killed Sheffield centre. Me: have you had your eyes tested recently?

I often find SL a bit too wordy but he's totally on the money here.

@thestar.co.uk sister paper the Telegraph recently had a front page suggesting the inability to drive into the centre is killing the city... Of course their "journalists" could do some actual work and get to the bottom of the real problem but that's work init?

Taking a stand against knife crime is not letting it continue and planning for its aftermath. That's just accepting it'll happen. Treat the problem.

www.cyclingnews.com/features/cut... This guy spends c£35m a year to have his name on a jersey. Imagine if he spent the same money on promoting cycling for the every day person.

I'm really impressed that their solution isn't to just push more water downstream & instead it looks like they'll store floodwater until it is safer to release.

Hopefully this'll be managed and implemented properly. Can see me using it quite a lot.

What I do on a wet Sunday

www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba... I'm not particularly a football fan but I am a Hillsborough resident & believe the club is an asset to the area. If it folds it's going to have a terrible effect on the local area.

Drivers in "oh I'm so hard done by" shocker.

I know ships are big but this set of pictures reminds me how flipping big they are.

I was recently reminded that when I left uni the Star was "the" place all the journalists wanted to work. Now it's mainly just spelling mistakes and AI slop.

The idea that you'll get cheap flights to Magaluf once a year is costing you 25 years of investment. "set to use its full annual share of South Yorkshire’s devolution funding up until 2050 to do so" www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/business/don...

People who buy age restricted items and try using self serve checkouts at busy times are everything that is wrong with this country.

Honestly, there's very little in this world more dystopian sounding than the Doppler effect on a low quality Green sleeves cover blasting out of a butty van ragging its way round a grey industrial estate. 80s fairground horror film theme to the max.

Some people's total lack of self awareness is astounding.

The new (old) guy at work has Soul Limbo, the old cricket theme as their ringtone. This has brightened my day up no end. Enjoy at your leisure. youtu.be/1faeKEfu0YI?...

I can't reply to this post, maybe the repost will alert them... How come Sheffield managed a CAZ with far inferior public transport than Manchester?

One of the suggestions in this article about how to improve an impoverished area is to create a public dump, literally 5 minutes drive from the council one... If this is the level of laziness then we have no hope at all.

www.sheffieldtribune.co.uk/coppard-goes... "that's what people wanted us to do" Oh, how the narrative has changed now that its benefits have been downgraded & it's getting closer to the inevitable failure of opening. They've handed Doncaster to the Right on a platter.

The hill climb is such a British sport.

The top five spelling mistakes in the Sheffield Star headlines... Number 6 will really shock you.

Tramlines further attempts to take money out of the local economy and keep it for itself.

Tandem and trailer with a sound system went down our street earlier and headed into town. What cool bike / music things did I miss in Sheffield tonight?

When did journalism become such a care free profession?

Do it & make it the most expensive pay and display in the city.

Manchester bike lanes ❤️

Two out of town gigs in two days. This time for the Melvins. I am a shadowy husk of my former self.

Unproven dangerous technology to be used to create unproven dangerous technology says man only focused on personal wealth. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Was worried that 30 years after their biggest album, the Smashing Pumpkins might be past their best. I was very very wrong. I've been to hundreds of shows & this was absolute top notch.

Parallels with Sheffield's PSPO anyone? www.sheffield.gov.uk/news/2025/sh...

Dropped into an alleged cycle friendly cafe today, parked the bikes like this and some old fart comes up and tells me "if someone trips over them there, they'll sue you". What possesses someone to say something as stupid as that?

Lots of flapping about #ArcticMonkeys and AM8. I just saw a sign going up on a bar in town... It's a terrible short play abbreviated words, as in, I'm popping round A M8's for a pint.

This, this and this again.

Got an email from an old crowd finding platform asking me to buy mini shares in SpaceX. I unsubscribed.

I was really disappointed when Ofo fell apart. I had high hopes that it'd be a major catalyst in turning round the mindset of the city. Hopefully this, if it ever happens, would do similar.

Today I will mostly be being a massive map nerd.

It's almost as if just trying to sweep serious societal problems under the carpet (or into the next postcode at least) isn't the solution to the problems everyone expected.

Does anyone still have a copy of the map showing Meadowhall overlayed on the city centre? People seem to forget how far their legs can carry them.

We're struggling to go a month without one in Sheffield. Road deaths are a political choice.

About half a person that follows me cares about this but now it's finished, Visma need to totally reassess their plans before TdF 26.

Odd on that this councillor backs the reopening of Donny airport.

If only the UK gave a shit, imagine what we could do.

So... That UK age verification thing is going well.

Costly is of course police speak for hugely embarrassing but since no one will be held to account, they'll do the absolute minimum they can get away with.

Closing it would be cheaper and safer

Apparently there's a cost of living crisis...

A ludicrous govt announcement, a passive council having chats with the Minister…. Who’s defending the democratic rights of the people of Sheffield? Time to organise👇 facebook.com/events/s/org...?

Does your city look as good as Sheffield did yesterday evening?
