It's almost like if you build a big fucking bridge that's free to use and don't have public transport or active travel links then a shitload of people drive to that place and abandon their cars anywhere they see fit. Who'd of guessed?

Here's a thread about ALUMINIUM.
Why this commonplace metal is actually pretty extraordinary.
How the process of making it is a modern miracle...
... which also teaches you some profound lessons about the trade war being waged by Donald Trump. And why it might be doomed.

Another excellent thread from @ExeterStreets highlighting the almost universal support for improving bus reliability in #Exeter through priority measures.

1/ Did you know that if you live in Exeter, everything you put in your black bin is taken to a power station in Marsh Barton and burned to create electricity? I went there this week. Let’s dive into the details. A thread 🧵#WasteToEnergy #Exeter

No matter how long you queue, how much you spend you can’t buy back 1994, you can’t buy back the excitement and energy of your youth. Nostalgia is a potent drug. #oasis

I'm voting Green because I want a Green MP and one day a Green government. That's it.
If I thought there was another way to bring about the change this country needs and deserves, I'd do that. But there isn't.
Want change? Vote Green.

Just returned from the Kashmir Superstore in South Leeds which sells everything Indian & Pakistani. I started my chef career here; the first restaurant kitchen I cooked and trained in was Punjabi. Let me show you around and tell you what you need for anything SOUTH ASIAN - you’re going to need a trolley for this one! 🇮🇳 🇵🇰

Desire paths are a symptom of terrible design. If you end up with desire paths, it means you messed up.

Time to talk about Rifford Road.
Where?
An area of pre & post-war housing and a road providing a link between Heavitree & Wonford, through St Loyes in Exeter.
There is some nice history on this webpage, including pic of 1940s car collision!

I don't want lower taxes.
I want hospital beds.
Trains that run on time.
Kids who aren't too hungry to learn.
Libraries in every town.
Rivers that don't run with slurry.
Local councils not forced into bankruptcy.
Politicians who don't venally line their own pockets.
