Seems like a lifetime ago, but in 2021 we fought tooth and nail to keep the Hackney Downs LTN. So proud to see what it looks like today. Who would want to turn this back into a traffic-choked junction?

On 19 July 2024, I published two posts on my X account in which I made allegations about Mr Mothin Ali being involved in the Harehills riots. I have accepted these were incorrect and I have jointly made a statement in open Court in order to apologise to Mr Ali and correct the record which is below.

Playing about with Home Assistant β this chart pulls in daily step count from my iPhone. The end goal is to have the information displayed prominently on a screen to get my lazy arse out of the flat...

According to one study, Help to Buy "significantly increased house prices and had no detectable effect on construction volumes... While HtB did not help would-be-buyers in already unaffordable areas, it boosted the financial performance of developers participating in the scheme."

Today:
Β£104 million investment to transform active travel routes across England.
Β£10.6 billion for 14 miles of the Lower Thames Crossing.
It's ridiculous not to raise fuel duty; invest in public transport instead of building more roads.

this is literally what we told you would happen, but you were all frothing at the mouth thinking you'd successfully eradicated trans people from public life

Chinaβs emissions are falling due to reducing oil use. Part of this was a 7% drop in aviation, with high-speed rail replacing domestic flights.
Very clever environmental campaigners in the UK said that would never happen here based on made up numbers.

Can never love this guy enough. He's already so fun with his weapon knowledge and stuntwork but also confidently tells people off when they push harsh beauty standards on him and his partner.
And yep, TRANS RIGHTS BABYYYYY πππ€
Has this UI been made deliberately confusing @RoyalMail? Do I tick a box to opt in, or opt out?
Am hiking in the alps, and came across this striking map. Iβve never seen a mountainous region split up into basic valleys and massifs like this before but itβs made so much sense of the region weβve been travelling through

It's maddening to cycle through Hackney Central thinking about how the Council spent millions reshaping Amhurst Road, Mare Street and others and failed to put in bike lanes--thus ensuring cycling there will stay dangerous for at least a generation. Criminally shortsighted

Nice reversal of the argument "Whatever CO2 reduction we achieve will be offset / dwarfed by China"
Replying to @laurimyllyvirta
Oil use displaced by EVs in China in H1 2026 exceeded the UKβs total oil use over a six-month period.
The effect of EVs on oil use was almost twice as large as would be expected based on the increase in the number of EVs on the road alone, as the usage of existing EVs surged.
