the conversation we should be having is that AI is developing and will certainly displace many workers, and we should develop government programs to even out the losses and gains between workers and capitalists. but instead we argue about whether a trans person was on netflix

"Westminster residents stumped up more than £1.2million a year through Council Tax to cover parking transaction costs, despite only four per cent of parking transactions coming from local drivers."

Remember, whenever you hear that “speed wasn’t a factor” in a deadly crash, what they mean is that the car involved wasn’t technically speeding. At least “not by much.” It presumes that the speed limit wasn’t too high to begin with.

When it comes to death from collisions, SPEED IS ALWAYS a factor.

We’ve know this for ages but it’s good that this kind of analysis in now on mainstream TV in the UK

"The prime minister is planning to ease bans on the sale of petrol engine cars to help boost the automotive industry"

Yet more handouts

While I completely understand the worry about fires on the Underground, can I tediously point out that the risk almost *never* comes from actual e-bikes, and almost always from what are, under the law, illegal electric motorbikes. Proper, legal, 15mph-limited e-bikes are very, very safe.

Seeing a lot more of this blatant greenwashing now. Outside is paper and the inside is plastic. Obviously not recyclable and will contaminate paper recycling collections

"My local cycleway is unusable after dark."

"Two guys tried to block the cycle path."

"I will never ride here again. I felt so unsafe."

🧵EBIKES THREAD Panorama's attack on ebikes yesterday (bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...) nails some of issues but little of solutions. Our view:

⭐ ebikes are brilliant. They enable a far wider range of people to cycle more journeys, which is vital for public health, climate & road danger outcomes 1/7

Got cut up at a junction this morning. Driver then brake checked me and threaten to run me over next time. I love cycling in London 😒

I'm really struggling with editing together my video about the Northumberland Line, and I think I've realised why.

The line itself is the absolute bare minimum, possibly even less than the bare minimum, just like pretty much every other opening I've been to. 🧵 1/9

Shout it louder 👏🏻

This is a terribly misleading and dreadful headline from the bbc.
Presumably desperate to avoid saying that someone used a 4*4 as a murder weapon

68/ Imagine a future where rights are quietly stripped away, not through major legislation, but by covertly influencing just enough voters to pass them. That’s the power of data and psychological profiling. Your vulnerabilities turned into tools against you.

If a car hits a pedestrian and there’s no cyclist lane near by, is a cyclist still to blame?

Yes.
