This will always be one of my single most important messages when it comes to actually realizing better cities. Please remember it every single time someone claims there’s a “war on drivers.” There isn’t. There’s just better or worse cities for EVERYONE.

I’m quite used to the cruelty students can face when they apply for a US visa but this one broke me. We offered admission to a stellar, talented & hardworking student. After months of work and hundreds of dollars, an embassy officer saw him for 5 mins & said no. why? …

Explains a fair bit of British political history that Labour can turn the day after one of their biggest ever victories to a period of nervy self-incrimination and the Conservatives can quietly move on from two of their worst ever defeats, and convince everyone it wasn’t too bad.

what is stopping regulators from making such information mandatory for model release

Just so you know, Dracula had an account at Coutts &, as far as I’m aware, they never took it off him.🧛‍♂️

Even the phrase 'Mickey Mouse degrees' makes no objective sense

Mickey Mouse is one of the most successful creations of all time, and represents a corporate monolith that owns about half of all pop culture. Not the obvious go-to representation of 'pointless and unprofitable'

ONE of the reasons I talk *so* openly about my various privileges (male, straight, British, English speaking, able bodied, neurotypical, etc) is to *show* white people how to accept, understand and tackle their white privilege.

Please get the memo.

Reading the 'landlords are just mum and dad investors' article and I mean landlords will unhouse and exploit mum and dad tenants so...

The keep telling us Brexit is done, that we need to move on. But Brexit is not done with US. It wasn’t a disabling event. It’s a degenerative disease, there’s more to come, and I decline to shut up about it. My @ObsFood column a few days early. https://t.co/yt0T7GClp6

Remembering the first time I knowingly encountered the befuddling thing I would eventually know as MAGA.

It was 2008, on Facebook.

It was my old college buddy, Stove Minivan.

Maybe if the story was 'unnamed former PM fails to hand over phone with nothing illegal on it' news organisations might show a little more interest.

The fact that the Home Office has painted over another mural and has detained asylum-seeker children for up to 19 days has absolutely nothing to do with stopping the boats or breaking the trafficking model and *everything* to do with this govt just being a bunch of evil bastards.

An unnamed 20-year-old denying the account of his unnamed parents about an unnamed BBC presenter has led news bulletins for several days. The return of scurvy and rickets to Britain hasn't rated a mention.

[Andrew Stroehlein @astroehlein]

Adopting far right policies has not kept the far right away from power.

Beating people at borders, sending them to torture, letting kids drown en masse - all Europe’s immorality & illegality has only fed the bloodlust at the core of far-right extremism.
