"[the killer] had a 16-second gap to notice the bicycle but failed to do so."
Barely a consequence for reckless driving that took a life.

You look at the first story and think "surely this is the tipping point, surely this is the moment the system stops treating killing people with a motor vehicle as 'one of those things, oopsy, don't do it again!'".
Then you look at the second story.

I'm going to be honest I am a teensy bit concerned that Oxford Town Hall may be hosting someone completely mad, if not also rather racist. Are we OK with telling Jews the Holocaust was their own fault and theirs alone? Am I missing something?

Right who wants a map of places in Britain which are also hymn tunes? @theabingdontaxi @WalkerMarcus maybe?
Wrong hymnal for you two but it's the one I could find already available as a spreadsheet. I imagine the overlap is very high.

What fun can we have with this dataset this year? How about... every pollution measurement in every location in 15 seconds?

I feel like one of these things is not like the others.

15 years of showing data can be fun rather than a nightmare. Giving its software away for free to anyone was the best decision @tableau ever made.
15 years. 11 million vizzes created. 5 million people exploring data.
Countless moments of insights and inspiration. Here’s to the power of sharing data with the world! public.tableau.com

I would LOVE to hire someone awesome to lead UKRI’s work on data and how we use it to understand the R&D system.
Great opportunity for someone with strong data skills who cares about technology, research and progress!

Oxford famously has far too many houses which is why they are basically free to buy and peanuts to rent.

Who is the person on here who does reimaginings of car-dominated street scenes as what they could otherwise be, possibly with some help from AI? I have a suggested location if they're feeling bored/generous. Feel like I've seen them retweeted a lot by cycling twitter.
Will squeeze through any gap no matter how inappropriate to save five seconds. Must be so stressful to live that way.
