Today, dear readers, I will be boring everyone stupid with tales of my first commute to the City Chambers by bike - ridiculously proud! Both for getting here in one piece & refraining from swearing at a couple of people in bike lanes. Great start to the working week.
I wish the editor of the @edinburghpaper would read this. This is London, but the same applies to every urban area in the world. This is why Edinburgh needs more, not less infrastructure for cycling, as some of your readers suggest. https://t.co/j9WoeS4pNZ

One hour of bus travel for £1.50, including a change or two. How about matching that to get more passengers @on_lothianbuses & @EdinburghTrams https://t.co/OzzVULftRp
So yesterday I had an email from Mail Online asking if they could use my etymology charts in an article. I said no, because they’re the fucking Mail. They went ahead anyway, but they put shitty fonts over the top to hide the theft.
@pieandmushypeas @magnatom I’m not anti driver, I just think they should be banned from the road until they can follow the Highway Code, every last one of them is always jumping red lights, speeding, not leaving enough stopping distance.

You just couldn't make it up, Senior doctors from overseas who have been appointed to fill key roles in hospitals around the UK are being blocked from taking up their jobs by the Home Office because their NHS salaries are too low under immigration rules! https://t.co/jofR7AXXg1

Never wanted to thread on eugenics, one of the most dangerous and disturbing ideas in human history. But we have fools like Toby Young talking about ‘progressive eugenics’, a secret conference of eugenicists meeting at @ucl, white supremacists in the White House. It’s time.
