This is *especially bad* if you’re a cyclist

And even worse if the car has automatic full beam LEDs where the driver is oblivious to dazzling you as a cyclist

Keep this in mind when people claim cars mean business — closing Central #Madrid to cars over holidays resulted in a 9.5% boost in retail spending on its main shopping street: STUDY.

There was also a 71% drop in air pollution.

A pleasure to talk to the BBC Wales #WalesCast pod today 🎤 The topic was flooding - the recent distressing scenes from Monmouth demonstrate the need and urgency of reducing the impact of flooding in future.

Cardiff is a hot-bed of activity for Mastodon, there are (up to) 5 of us! At least @DrEdBridges @carlmorris as well

Maybe we should organise an annual Toot Wales Caerdydd get-together...?!

Hey #postmarketos users, I'm looking for a solution to quick access to loyalty cards, like you would have via google wallet or catima on android.

I've tried Passes but the file formats it accepts look like they are specific for flights etc.

Thanks in advance!

Quite the thing to hear a sitting Labour Member of the Senedd suggesting that the UK Prime Minister should ditch the Labour Secretary of State for Wales in order to change the perception of the party here ahead of #Senedd26 #Cymru #Wales 👀
With so little time between now and #Senedd26, there's very little of substance the UK Labour Party could do to change the context for Welsh Labour's campaign next Spring. So, learning from Harold Wilson, should he consider replacing a Welsh Secretary considered to be unpopular? #Wales #Cymru

"Gwyn Alf Williams wrote “Labour’s old majorities stand like Aneurin Bevan’s memorial stones”, looking like the “Stonehenge of Welsh politics.” In Caerphilly, one of those stones has cracked; shifting political weather now threatens more monuments to Welsh Labour’s historic majorities." #Senedd26

Cracks in the Stonehenge of Welsh Politics: Caerphilly and Labour’s Future

Read @nyedavies.bsky.social on why the result in Caerphilly should act as a wake-up call to Welsh Labour, despite many in the party having warned against reading too much into the defeat

Really well worth watching this clip. Kirsty remains one of the Welsh Govt Ministers held in higher esteem by people who have worked with her.

To hear her voice breaking as she describes the effect on her family of her political life is utterly heartbreaking. 👇👇👇
