Not as bright as forecast. Pieces of a man, loitering at the intersection of art, cycling, and eco-socialism.

He/him. 🌳 🚴‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️👩‍🦽 🌳

Joni Mitchell was born on 7 November 1943 in Alberta, Canada. Photographed by Jack Robinson on 20 November 1968 in New York, she had just released her first album and was about to perform an acclaimed and sold-out concert at Carnegie Hall.

The biggest lies have a grain of truth at the heart of them.

And so it is with this Telegraph article.

The thing is, this would/will only be true for pensioners with income - income, not assets - of over £125k per year.

So only those who can afford to contribute a bit more, then.

When a guest of the White House collapsed during a press conference yesterday, Getty photographer Andrew Harnik captured the moment when, having briefly turned towards the man and watched him receive care, Trump turned away, his face registering no concern.

Quite the contrast to Tobias Ellwood.

Mamdani stood on manifesto pledges of free universal childcare, building more affordable housing, and tackling food poverty.

With 8% of households in County Durham using food banks, and 11,000 on the waiting list for social housing, I'm going to suggest Luke Akehurst is talking out of his arse.

Well, this is some good news to wake up to.

Here's an ONS dataset from 2018 Family Expenditure survey on car ownership by income level. 65% of the bottom income decile have no car or van.

Pro-motoring economic policies are deeply regressive.

If there were a general election held tomorrow, 39% of 18-24 year olds would vote @greenparty.org.uk

The kids are alright. Join them.

This may look like a transit map, but it’s actually a map of typical walking times & distances in the walkable, car-free Spanish city of #Pontevedra. A simple, clever idea that every town and city working to be more walkable should steal.

"And that was Accelerant from Dylan Earl's Wagner Sub-contractors, on Intercepted Recordings."

John Peel died on this day in 2004, and the world lost a legend of music broadcasting. Miss you, man.
