My take on the Andy Burnham speech is that my 14yo daughter saw a bit of it on TikTok & then asked to watch the whole thing with me. She told me afterward that the hopefulness of it almost feels miraculous to her because her whole life the people in charge have been purposely making everything worse

A short thread on “legitimate concerns”. The phrase is used repeatedly by UK government ministers. The Home Secretary is at it again this week. But only ever - as far as I can tell - in one context: people’s response to the arrival of asylum seekers. Please read whole 🧵before responding - thanks

I have become such a fan of the Norwegian Consumer Council recently. They don't just do these cool vids, the reports are actually really detailed and insightful and oddly strongly written (for a gov't agency, particularly in Norway). Also not fatalist at all www.forbrukerradet.no/breakingfree/

In the new report Breaking Free: Pathways to a fair technological future, the Norwegian Consumer Council has delved into enshittification and how to resist it.

Looking south along Queen Street, at the western end of George Square in Glasgow city centre. Image 1 from 2016, image 2 from today.

Google Street View looking south along Queen Street in 2016. A three lane road wraps around George Square, the main civic square in the centre of Glasgow. Cars and road space fills the image.

People sit amongst new street trees in a completely zero-traffic, renovated section of Queen Street, on the western end of George Square. This is the same view as the previous image.

CALL TO ACTION: Tameside Council has announced a new consultation for improvements to the A560 that include wider footpaths, resurfaced roads and footpaths, improved pedestrian crossings, safer junctions, better bus stops, and new separated cycle lanes.

A CGI showing an impression of the proposals for a road. There are silhouettes of people walking, wheeling, sitting and cycling around. The road has trees, wildflower strips, houses, and cycle lanes running alongside, and a zebra crossing across the road in the near distance. There is a summery sky above. Text states: Raise your voice for better quality of life along the A560 (Hattersley) - and ensure the scheme isn't scrapped. Consultation runs from 17 August to 18 September.

Fundamentally, much of the clique around Westminster are "politics nerds" who find actual politics cringey and uncomfortable. They love court politics, scandal, intrigue, but not the whole business of "who has power and how does the application of said power help or harm people?"

A rare example of a quality full redesign of a street in Italy. Via Amedei, Mantova. First pic, how it was, i.e. the typical oversized street of postwar peripheries. Other 3 pics: how it's now, turned one-way, depaved and traffic-calmed.

Local safe streets advocate has more photos of bike lanes, crosswalks and intersections than of his family from recent vacation.
WINDSOR, ON - The father of two who went with the family to Montreal for their summer vacation ended up spending nearly ¾ of the time pointing out bike infrastructure, intersections and pedestrianized streets. It's been reported that nearly 753 photos and videos were taken with only 3 of them including his family.
