Bing (October 20, 1914 – April 28, 1986)[1] was an American mathematician who worked mainly in the areas of geometric topology and continuum theory.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreid62wy3dekb2kzbisjfdlimlb35j4rlgew5iof7vi32byfszmg26a@jpeg)
![Bing's father was named Rupert Henry, but Bing's mother thought that "Rupert Henry" was too British for Texas. Thus she compromised by abbreviating it to R. H.[5] Consequently, R. H. does not stand for a first or middle name.
When Bing was applying for a visa, he was requested not to use initials. He explained that his name was really "R-only H-only Bing", and ended up receiving a visa made out to "Ronly Honly Bing".](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreigmfj53q4uy33spga2bxdkllqm3ag5sffovg5g7ddmu3vqzkb6k24@jpeg)

They're proposing to change the bus route that I use to go see my mum such that I'll have to get two buses each way and pay £5.70 (42.5% more) to do a round trip of less than 1.5 miles. 😭

Labour is actively wasting our money for the sole purpose of being cruel to people who have done nothing wrong
Labour's anti-asylum policies are already fundamentally inhumane and discriminatory. Applying them retrospectively is pure cruelty though. It serves absolutely no purpose. Meanwhile it will increase the costs and bureaucracy of an already dysfunctional Home Office.

The scheme definitely needs work - it's inaccessible to very low earners & helps high earners more than low earners. I've heard it's also a pain in the ass for bike shops. But all but the loosest restrictions on the type or budget of the bike will deter people from using the scheme as intended.

Adapted cycles & e-trikes also tend to be pricy. You can add dispensations for them but this adds complexity & cost without adding value. It may also mean disabled cyclists are put off - either because dispensations are poorly communicated or because of the added beaurocracy or perceived judgement.
Axing the cycle-to-work scheme might seem like low-hanging fruit for a cash-strapped Treasury, but it would be a big mistake. Particularly with expensive kid-carrying cargo e-bikes, it's one of the most effective modal shift levers out there.

Wheels for Wellbeing are concerned by reports that the Chancellor is considering putting a maximum price for cycles allowed through the Cycle to Work scheme.
We are calling for the scheme to be reformed rather than capped.

Been saying for a while that I'm having fatigue with my endo but I haven't really been having pain; I've just been having this weird feeling in my belly that's really unpleasant and goes away when I take painkillers and, pals, I just realised it's pain. It's different flavour pain. But it's pain. 🤦♀️

What exactly happened to Starmer's conference line about fighting racism with everything they have. That is incompatible with this government's stated policies of pandering to racism and giving in to it. All Labour are doing right now is emboldening racism rather than countering it.
The Home Secretary explaining that the rise in racist violence is, actually, the natural response to higher levels of immigration is a state of affairs that can't exist without the government having largely decided that racist violence is, if not legitimate, at least understandable.
