Must be AI. No one cycles in the rain.

I’m boycotting Eurovision. Unless Das Sound Machine are competing, I won’t watch it.

“Cooking on gas”, a phrase that is past its use by date

Since when has it been ok to use flares?

If only OfWat, the Environment Agency and successive Tory/Labour governments had the authority to ensure we had clean & safe water

Remember that is Labour and the Conservatives who continue to clamp down on our right to protest

Interesting long read from @jburnmurdoch.ft.com making the case that declining birth rates are particularly tied up with the rise of smartphones and therefore fewer people in relationships, which in turn leads to fewer kids www.ft.com/content/fba3...

Compare and contrast to London

There’s a whole industry dedicated to doing this stuff so badly @rantyhighwayman.bsky.social

The TfL plan to protect children on cycles from thugs like this is a bus lane #wandsworthtown 🙄

* Summit with Putin - got nothing out of it. * Summit with Xi - got nothing out of it. * War with Iran - got nothing out of it. Starting to think this whole Art of the Deal might not be true.

This really is quite something. In the 15 years @carbonbrief.org have tracked UK media, 2025 was first ever year where more newspaper editorials opposed #climate action than supported it. Meanwhile, the *actual* climate crisis deepens by the month. Go figure.

The Home Secretary should be designating RTC as a terrorist organisation. Political violence = terrorism.

Farage looking for a taxpayer bail out. Huh.

Three sectors. One chart. Three very different stories. Buildings: 33% electrified in 1990 → 47% today. Industry: 31% → 33%. Barely moved. Transport: ~1% then, ~1% now. The 23% headline hides three transitions at radically different speeds. Long read coming on Substack: janrosenow.substack.com

Half the national debt and almost the same GDP per capita as the UK (higher excluding banking)

I don't think we should talk about climate change anymore, we should talk about kitchen-table issues. Like how climate change will destroy your kitchen table and everything else you have

The replies to Tom. Ouch. Parenting is the ultimate responsibility.

nothing prepares you as a parent for the heartache of when your kid works really hard for something but it doesn't work out for them - totally a normal part of life but damn.

Abuse of public office is an extremely serious criminal offence

Angela Rayner was dragged through every front page for weeks... HMRC's verdict: NOT deliberate. NOT even careless. Farage pockets £5 million and chooses not to declare it So where's the wall-to-wall coverage? Tell me this isn't a rigged game.

As an act of mayoral solidarity, perhaps Sadiq could post one of these to Andy.

So weird. Almost impossible for US politicians to change the US Constitution, and yet unelected judges can change its meaning at will. A bizarre way to run a country.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

And yet in places such as the British Columbia Sunshine Coast, heat pump penetration is about zero despite electricity prices being super low ….

Oh look, Labour uses a form of proportional representation for its own leadership elections but doesn’t trust “the people” with the same voting system in local & national elections. The Labour hypocrisy which will usher Farage into Downing Street.

Mostly because AI does only a partial job at best most of the time

Beta testing of very powerful machines in the public realm. Nothing can go wrong obvs.

It’s never a life time ban. It’s never a life sentence. But it is a death sentence for the victim and their family.

One person can install 0.4kWp every 3 minutes

Does the 2nd amendment allow for armed Apache Gunships to be owned by private individuals? If not, why not?

WE DON'T NEED PETROLEUM-BASED PLASTICS ANYMORE! "The [bamboo plastic] outperforms most commercial plastics and bioplastics in mechanical and thermo-mechanical metrics while maintaining full biodegradability in soil within 50 days and closed-loop recyclability with 90% retained strength."

We’ve not had any stability since 2015. 11 years of chaos.

“Just one more speech will do it.” #Starmer 🙄

“The road lobby is the most powerful political lobby … today. It is immensely rich and is backed by some of the biggest businesses ... Its target is to control the country's transport policy.“ @urbantruth.bsky.social @carlosmorenofr.bsky.social @brenttoderian.bsky.social @davidzipper.bsky.social

A please @labouruk.bsky.social, stop saying that it's up to us to stop Reform. YOU could stop a Reform government in 2029, by introducing the proportional representation so many in the country have been clamouring for. The only way Farage can win is through our crazy first-past-the-post system.

NEW ANALYSIS: What's going on in Spain? Spain's wholesale electricity price in early 2026: €44/MWh. Italy: €127. Germany: €96. UK: €103. Wind+solar now deliver 44% of generation. Gas sets the price in just 9% of hours, down from 55% in 2022. Full analysis: janrosenow.substack.com/p/spain-just...

We can't have this in the UK. But we can spend £750million PER MILE on new roads.

And in Sutton, the results are stark. The Liberal Democrats have taken almost all the seats on the Council with a minority share of the vote.

only one day into our new reform council and i’ve already had a cigarette on the bus, whacked a noisy kid (not mine), seen a chalky white poo on the street (mine) gone to work half cut and erected 15 of these (pictured) we’re a proper country again

Number of seats for Reform in Scotland so far: fuck all

No one expected Keir Starmer to solve our pressing problems overnight. But what we did expect – and had every right to expect – was that he would lay out a clear vision and roadmap for doing so. Instead, we’ve had drift, appeasement and a startling absence of ideas, values and ambition. 🧵1/6

Westminster back with the Tories. That's sustainable transport screwed again. #London

🗳️ Happy election day! Now’s the time to get out and vote for a Wandsworth that is committed to becoming a borough where cycling is safe and fun for everyone 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 See who’s pledged to support Streets for Cycling: lcc.org.uk/candidate-statements/

Yep. No sensible councillor would support the noise these type of operation (and dropping stuff from height isn’t good) - www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

Do any other countries operate this weird system where a few judges get to rule over the interpretation of a constitution which in essence is written in stone?
