That article is interesting, as the main result are: - Motonormativity as "doublethink" confirmed. - Respondents paradoxically feel more supportive than their governments for both car travel and non-car travel. - Most people felt they support non-car mobility more than other people.

Time to return here on Bluesky, I think, as I'm expecting the major drain on my life to end soon. Ignoring the fact that I've been expecting that for at least 18 months. #WilfulIgnorance? Me?

This, my friends, is one of your legislators. We didn't elect him, but he sits in the House of Lords as a reward for bringing us Brexit, injecting his bigotry, perversity and ignorance into our lives. Daniel Hannan in the Daily Mail today, once again grossly misrepresenting history.
Meanwhile, Caribbean countries are demanding ‘reparations’, not from the African states that enslaved their ancestors, but from the nation that poured its blood and treasure into a relentless campaign for abolition.

Incredibly, African countries – which became British colonies, in no small measure, because we were trying to extirpate slavery – also straight-facedly demand compensation.

Just updated my AIsn’t Governance Dictionary ( crossingtraces.substack.com/p/the-ultimate-aisnt-governance-dictionary) with the word ‘misconfigure’..... Because Anrhropic's 'misconfigurations' seem to be quite a habit* *Actually 3 out of 141,006 isn’t a habit, but where’s the satire in that?

@anthropic.com seriously pissed with your sudden token limit change. You do realise this could push people like me away from you for ever? After all, US-based companies don't feel so safe any more..

The @ec.europa.eu wants to lower the protection status of the #wolf. 🐺 ❌We do not agree. This proposal is based on fairy tales, instead of science. "If we want to help farmers, we can protect their livestock with proven solutions. No need to scapegoat wolves." @juttapaulus.bsky.social

I wish to do a comics series called The Ungainly X-Men, in which a cadre of mutants awkwardly stumble through saving the world, Marvel get with me on this, we could make millions, and by "we" I mean Marvel would get millions, I would get the standard page rate and a tiny "thanks to" credit in a film
