The RearVue 820 costs more than its predecessor, but brings advanced vehicle tracking, improved battery life, and a brighter rear light. Here's what we know so far #cycling

I want to read this because Jonn's stuff is always good, but I can't help feel it's going to be *incredibly* depressing and I'm not sure I'm quite ready for that.
"There’s a tendency, in other words, to look at the fact these things are expensive and complicated, and take from that we should do them less. That, I suspect, is precisely wrong."

I spent a day on HS2 construction sites. Here's everything I learned
The HS2 Christmas Special
Some Christmas song lyrics that hit differently when imagined in the trailer for a film about a stalker. But first, I’m off to Buckinghamshire to find out how you build a new railway.

The real question is whether they also contacted Reno PD to report a murder confession.
The account owner of @sarahkendzior.bsky.social was suspended for 72 hours for expressing a desire to shoot the author of an article. The post, made 11/10, stated: "I want to shoot the author of this article just to watch him die." 1/2

Oxford “Ghost Town” klaxon. 👇

Yet again Labour want the benefits of reduced congestion (faster buses) but refuse to address the cause (too many private cars).

Anyway I didn’t vote cos I had to go home and pick up my kids but incase anyone is in any doubt, I am in favour of the CC.
Cllr Mark Cherry (Lab, Banbury Ruscote): “This type of thing costs businesses a lot of money. They will simply add costs. In certain areas of Oxford you’re going to be paying through the roof for building work. It’s going to become a ghost town. You’ll pay the price at the election box.”

- IOA: "The council should make buses more reliable"

*council reduces the congestion that makes them unreliable*

- IOA muppet: "No, not like that, by magic!"
Cllr David Henwood (IOA, Littlemore) is the seconder. “Oxford has already exceeded Government targets for cleaner air, so what is the need for this new charge? Instead of taxing movement, the council should make buses cheaper and more reliable. The electric bus rollout shows what can be achieved.”

The Vodafone outage sucked, but tbh for anything as core as that must have been, two hours from start to fix is pretty good going.

@dark1x.bsky.social Hi - small question on your Gears video if you have a second. Does the PS5 Pro use PSSR in both modes or just the 120Hz one? I've rewatched that bit of the video a few times and I'm still not completely clear...

So one of the crazy things you can do if you're a Beloved British Actor is NOT agree to be in a Harry Potter thing.

The way you do it is:

1) Don't agree to be in a Harry Potter thing
2) See 1)

Hope that guide helps all the Beloved British Actors out there unsure how to do this. 👍

So some part of XBox login services seems to be pretty dead.

Hopefully this isn't going to herald a wider Microsoft account/Azure problem 🤞

Every feminist I know supports their sisters, cis and trans, and their non-binary siblings, concerned with domestic violence, public safety, equal pay, employment protection, access to healthcare, and other discrimination issues. Obsessing over who uses which loo isn't feminism. It's bigotry.

Starmer is a lying sack of shit who will say anything to get the crusty colonels of the Telegraph nodding along.
Important statement from @kentwildlife.bsky.social about the way that the government is deliberately misrepresenting what has happened at Ebbsfleet.

The idea that using a different client to access an open system is 'plagiarism' or 'theft' is *insane*.

Like complaining that someone accesses your website with the 'wrong' browser or reads their email in an app you don't like.

Open standards are good *because* other people can build on them.

So apparently Labour decided to spaff £22 billion on unproven carbon capture and storage technology after only consulting with fossil fuel companies.

That's like sitting down with butchers to plan a vegan menu.

Every day, they find new ways to disappoint.
