I’ve heard people say: “You’re the best of the best.”
Hej @SAS - there’s a few of us stuck on the wrong side of passport control at Stockholm Airport due to a system failure: the border is closed. Will the flight to London at 7:45 wait?!?

A deputy party chair telling people to “ignore the law”… yay, way to go, Britain.

I know this is naive, but doesn’t a legal framework define what’s illegal? So doesn’t one determine the other? Just asking.

Do I know any social scientists who would be willing to chat to me about society’s communication skills?

Replying to @VictoriaFutures
Today, England is one of the most expensive places in the world to take care of young children, relative to income. It's wild to think parents can be spending on average, 29% of their income on childcare.

Kudos to the constable who fined me for running a red light on my bike only to then explain how to run it legally. Now I consider the charge a payment for his service rather than a fine.

I’m looking for opinionated strategists and journalists and experts who’d love to talk to me about cars. Or mobility. Or both. Please share!

Never noticed how ⁦@Strava⁩ is calling out “carbon saved” on a ride labelled a commute. Nice touch.

Just a bit clunky that I have to untick the box to see how many calories I’ve burnt with that ride. (But that’s maybe because I’m not subscribed.)

People are like "Crazy that this happened over one IG post!" but it wasn't over an IG post. It was a bunch of insecure dudes who didn't want to be seen as the one guy in their group still drinking Bud Light. It's just gay panic, folks. Simple as that. xitter.cf/Ben_Phillips/status/16…
