The sign of a good social media user is that their Post count is small and their Reply count is big. It means they spend their time participating in discussions rather than constructing zingers to harvest likes.

Just read the below on Zohran Mamdani, NY's new mayor who actually understands the increasing risks and danger of SUVs and other larger cars on our streets. Fascinating.

Thanks @timmorton2.bsky.social
Two years ago I interviewed a 31-year-old NY state assemblymember about a 7-year-old girl killed by an SUV driver in his district. I hung up the phone, astonished that I'd talked to a legislator who so thoughtfully articulated what actually needs to change on our streets.

He'll make a great mayor

Fireworks PIF countdown: number one! HAND (1976) This all-time classic PIF featured bandages that haunted a million nightmares and turned sparklers into something to be feared. It worked on me. Happy Bonfire Night!

That’s a really nice thing to do, NYC allowing heritage subway trains to run some special services. ☺️

Not quite the same, but it would have been neat if the SPT Glasgow Subway and the transport museum could have kept one of the orange 2nd generation trains around in running order to do likewise…

In the Netherlands, cycling is as much a social activity as it is a healthy, efficient, and sustainable way to get from A to B.

The key? Good infrastructure planning and design!

It’s clear to anyone paying attention that Farage gets an easy ride from the media. They give him as much airtime as he wants but never hold him to account for the damage he’s done.

So much of what’s broken in Britain is thanks to Nigel Farage.

I am not sure whether I should be slightly embarrassed or slightly pleased that the letter-writer’s correction of railway company route information appeals to my sense of factual accuracy…? 😁 #LNER #LMS

3. Europe at a Crossroads
Verhofstadt: “The EU is one of the greatest political achievements in history.”
Let’s not take it for granted. Verhofstadt warns of rising authoritarianism, global instability, and the need for unity. Europe must respond — together.

The first part of this video is sadly typical childish Westminster jeering, but the comments by LibDem leader Ed Davey (from 0:58) in defence of the European Convention on Human Rights are very good. #ECHR

Today, Members of Parliament voted overwhelmingly AGAINST Nigel Farage's bill to take the UK out of the ECHR. This is a win for all those who want to protect our last line of defence of our rights and freedoms.

Recent polling has shown that the majority of Brits think Brexit has been a failure, and the Chancellor herself has admitted that there is public support for increased deals with the European Union - so why aren't they doing more to reverse the mistake of Brexit?
