Which explains the pile-on
Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done. We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work w/us"

China oil consumption for road transport down 9% this year.
Denmark oil consumption down 11% in 2024.
Not many similarities between the two countries but good to see the shared path before us.
A reminder that the EU spends 120bn euro per year on oil for road transport.

This is very fucked up even by the standards of the day. It's worth reading the thread to learn a little about the contribution these men made.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Absolutely one of my all time favourite nature photography accounts. With generous side helpings of pro union and democratic socialism. Yeah Brett is pretty cool.
WOW top 5 sunrise of 2025 and I don't even know what the other 4 are!
I saw this small pond yesterday and there were 500 or so white faced ibis' foraging, I knew I had to get back this morning.
Most of the ibis were gone but there was a glorious haze across the nearby fields. I N C R E D I B L E 🪶

Don't get me wrong. Miami is on my list of cool cities to visit, and I am sure it"s a great place to live, but the New York rich aren't going to move there permanently any more than the Sand Hill Road set are.
Stop trying to make Miami happen
They will not in fact flee the city. New York is and always will be one of the best cities in the world for rich folks. It's all bullshit.

It’s awesome to see this — but seriously, it’s so damn frustrating that we have to fight this fight in every city when the science couldn’t be clearer. Get the cars out, make more money for local shops, and build cities that are exciting, healthy, and happy for everyone.
It’s really important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of ACTUAL EVIDENCE that they’re better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced.
Safe bike-lanes mean business.
