I like New Year Resolutions:

1. get my French from early B2 to C1
2. Lose 15 kg and get in shape
3. Walk at least 15k steps a day
4. Go to the cinema at least once a month
5. Start using a proper to-do list

It’s mad mad mad

Nothing really surprises me but I hadn’t heard that one

It’s a bit like ULEZ in London. Starts off as a debate about transport and morphs into conspiracist nutcase stuff about woke dictators taking your car away and leaving you helpless. Just imagine the Facebook groups.

BTW not a million km away from the gilets jaunes.

Brilliant

The answer to yours and Raffery's question is that part of the late COVID lockdown conspiracy was that The Government was going to formalise lockdown permanently, and they glommed 15 minute cities onto that (cars banned, need permission to travel on trains etc)

Absolutely fucking mental shit.

that's their strength, right? A kernel of truth somewhere that locks it in and then utter craziness

the whole discussion is very very weird

Carlos Moreno formalised the name in 2016 apparently

15-minute city - Wikipedia

I have no clue of its origins. It wouldn't surprise me if it started from COVID lockdowns or was accelerated by that

It's also extremely odd that it stemmed from plans to reduce people driving into central Oxford, somewhere where driving is horrible and which is just not well designed for cars at all.

have the Labour Party expelled this degenerate piece of crap yet? @jamesdaustin.bsky.social @antoniabance.bsky.social ?
Most of Epstein’s victims were either too frightened to come forward, or silenced through legal threats. Oh, and here’s a senior British politician giving Epstein tips on how to silence them

judging by what we have seen, we can just hack his gmail and he'll have written about it

I think they tried it on Cynthia Payne and in the end got stuck with “running a disorderly house”. Epstein himself could not be prosecuted even if he hadn’t killed himself* but Ghislaine Maxwell possibly could be.

*he totally did

You’re being generous by saying almost :)

Sure, but there won’t even be an investigation.

It’s really weird to write out the exact ages of all the children…
How thoughtful of Howard Lutnick to bring a bunch of children to Epstein Island. They’ll have lots of other kids to play with.

Ergo youths in Britain will be wearing Alacarez polo shirts in 2060

Still incredibly stupid

Song idea for free: a cover of Hello by the Beloved but replace the names with everyone in the Epstein files: Mandelson, Dan Ariely, Steven Pinker, Trump, Clinton, Andrew Mountbatten, Elon Musk, Steve Bannon, Howard Lutnick, Chomsky, Peter Thiel etc etc

The conspiracists are conflating it with Smart Cities, like you see in Busan’s 15 minute cities, where the cities are heavily managed centrally.

There’s that weird fixation that cars, the heavily government controlled form of transportation, is freedom, so pedestrianisation/ULEV/20mph is control.
