Fantastic to see my Mini Switzerland idea covered by the BBC.
It captures so many people’s imaginations because it’s both obvious, simple and yet - from where we are today - unspeakably radical.

'Mini Switzerland' plan for Peak District transport network
The idea would see buses arriving before trains pull into stations to improve connectivity.

Great proposal this. Continues to be incredibly funny and incredibly stupid that for years we've *banned* bus and rail operators "colluding" to make their timetables integrate with each other.

They’re failing to do that.

Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country?
Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.

The predominent anti-AI position on bsky is that AI is useless, fake, shit and basically the same as NFTs, destined to collapse in months once everyone sees how poor it is. So anyone who suggests that it could improve or be useful to any boss in any situation in the future must be evil.

A couple of years ago, I reshared (and stated) posts about defunding the (US) police. A friend I really respect who lives in NYC wasn’t pleased with that stance. I now wonder where the people who were against defunding are, bc cops aren’t going to help people fight ICE/CBP. They’re the same.
