Since the invention of the car, somewhere between 54 and 69 million people have died in traffic crashes. And that's not even considering the effects of air pollution and car-related lead exposure.

A couple of mediocre new releases, a rewatch of Todd Haynes' masterpiece, and some of the best fight sequences I've ever seen on screen.

it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance
The Danish Social Democrats are currently on course for their worst election result since at least the Second World War, despite their brand of far-right accommodationism being touted as a blueprint for other centre-left parties.

Good old @eastmidsrailway.bsky.social. The bus replacement from Loughborough to Leicester was a minibus which only took 16 people. The rest of us are now waiting an hour for some taxis. Might get home by 2am. #NationaliseTheRailways

They market their cars as weapons and we allow them on the same roads as children cycling to school.
And I still get weird middle-aged men in my notifications obfuscating for and defending this.
This is not a serious society.

For taxpayers, every piece of cycling infrastructure is a gift that keeps on giving.
An asset that returns annual savings in congestion, pollution, maintenance, safety and healthcare over its lifetime.
Stop asking whether your city can afford to invest in cycling. Ask whether it can afford not to.

Unless there's an unbreakably valid safety reason why not, all button-operated pedestrian crossings should activate the lights in pedestrians' favour instantly when pressed.

The UK is set to buy a fleet of US fighter jets that can drop nuclear bombs. It will cost about £1 billion.
The purchase is purely political, say Nuclear Information Service and Nukewatch UK.

We've been down on the beach today picking up firework debris. It's odd, isn't it, that you can be fined £250 for dropping litter but somehow it's OK to launch rockets containing plastic casings into the sky.
