Absolutely, a poster in Manchester today.

Worth a read.

There's a direct relationship between mediocrity and authoritarianism. Authoritarians value loyalty over competence, and so attract those who know they can never accomplish success based on their competence, but have a chance through groveling subservience to the authoritarian.

The #PedestrianPound launches in Edinburgh today - follow @LStreetsScot for the day's action.

The report makes the economic case for walkable streets, showing that pedestrians spend more and that pedestrianised high streets see bigger sales.

Here's a better angle that shows the @Maori_Party performing the haka right up in David Seymour's face.

He looks shit scared.

Let it become a tale.
Never forget the victims of a genocide.

This is why it’s so important young people learn how to riot at an early age.

Violent retribution and barricade building is great exercise and engages many of the children other sports find ‘hard to reach.’

i treat well the people still in my life as a tribute to the love i have, and also a promise to myself to honor the love no longer with me...to make those losses not be in vain

Today would have been Carl Sagan's 90th birthday. He wrote this in 1995. Carl was absolutely right. #CarlSaganDay

Israeli victimhood kinda reminds me of male victimhood. In both cases, the beneficiaries of long-term oppression frame the responses to it as oppressive.

Attention urban decision-makers:

I’m hoping to see city halls, mayors, city councillors and chief planners create & use accounts on Blu#sky.

Media too.

They were all on Twitter when it was THE place to be, but many have left X.

I think @Bluesky is the new place we need.

@EdinburghBUG @SW20Ed Fantastic graphic that drives home urgent need for even more bus priority measures 🚍💪🏻

Note on the rhs gives the unfortunate impression that it was Spaces for People (rather than Covid) that led to a (thankfully) temporary collapse in patronage in 2020 😔

Spaces for People

"This is PRECISELY the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write... That is how civilizations heal."

“ When a Clown moves into the Palace, he doesn’t become a King, The Palace becomes a Circus” is a Turkish proverb which is worth heeding in the coming days.

The Netherlands’ systematic approach to road safety—especially on walking and cycling—is a textbook application of the Hierarchy of Controls: an industrial method which identifies a preferred order of actions to best reduce hazard exposure based on their general effectiveness…🧵

TODAY'S THE DAY!

Through-traffic no longer allowed in "hypercentre" of #Paris, including the Louvre and Le Marais. (No fines until April 2025.)

This is historic—a bold move by Mayor @Anne_Hidalgo
to lower emissions, improve quality of life.

Meanwhile, in #Toronto ↓
