The EU and UK should shut down X just as they shut down RT - and in fact I think it is likely that they will eventually. The question is, how much damage will be done by then?

Under the Treason Felony Act 1848, it is a crime punishable by life imprisonment to intimidate parliament or encourage any foreign power to invade the U.K.
We should be applying this law to every traitor openly calling for the U.S to depose our democratically elected government.

Last night’s flight off the Isle of Man cancelled due to weather.
So far this morning the airport is “open” but the runways don’t even look plowed.
Let’s see if our flight goes off this AM.

“Car bloat”—increasingly oversized automobiles—worsens road safety, affordability and the environment.
Here are some of the stories I wrote in 2025 examining the trend and proposing solutions. 🧵
In @vox.com, I likened car bloat to secondhand smoke (which helped bring down the US tobacco industry).

Gigantic SUVs are a public health threat. Why don’t we treat them like one?
The anti-tobacco playbook could help turn the US public against their beloved oversized cars.

A review of STATS19 collision data on Rose Street: [1/?]
Living Streets Edinburgh Group is please to report that councillors have rejected council officer recommendations to encourage cycling on Rose St.
We've no objection to exempting cyclists from one-way restrictions in general but Rose Street is a special case which should never have been included.

Most planners I know are familiar with this playbook, and will also point out that democratically mandated public consultation processes are often manipulated to play into this, which is how we get watered down (or non existent) rather than transformative project outcomes.

A few years ago, I posted what I still consider one of my most important messages.
It was about “The Populist Playbook” that I’ve watched play out often over my 33+ years of city planning.
Since then, it’s only gotten worse.
