Early voting is already underway in some states. From now until Nov 3, I urge you all to... 1) Help get out the vote 2) Protect our electoral machinery from interference 3) Not succumb to complacency, defeatism, or cynicism We are the only ones who can end this nightmare.

Congratulations to Suella Braverman for her Question Time appearance - I didn't think it was possible for her to come across as any more deranged and stupid than usual, but she somehow managed it.

What would Andy Burnham actually do to the pension triple lock? Not abolish it. His proposal would change how pensions rise from 2030, while using long-term savings to help fund social care. Here are seven things you need to know ⤵️ @eastangliabylines.co.uk @stephenmcnair.bsky.social

Seven things you need to know about Burnham’s plan for pensioners
Andy Burnham has radical plans. But he is not ‘abolishing’ the triple lock on state pensions. What are the facts?

BBC re-running their headlines from 3 years ago when Sunak released 10,000 prisoners early over 6 months....oh wait, no, that went off without a media fuss. Labour are releasing up to 5,000 early over a year - due to Tory failure to build prison capacity. They only built 36 net new places a year.

Burnham made Farage seem “angry, thin-skinned… absurd. What we witnessed today was a masterclass in political communication which makes Farage look like an amateur” Finally. The confidence that comes with emotional intelligence. It could make all the difference. iandunt.substack.com/p/burnham-sp...

Do not give these idiotic wankers airtime. Anyone with half a brain may well mock them and find it amusing. The rest of the knobheads think he's making a great point. This is why we are at this stage as a country.

This should be the moment people finally realise that Farage has turned them into fascists. If you’re choosing this dangerous inhumanity over the rescue work of the RNLI, you’ve lost your minds to racism and hatred.

A local radio piece today about the Folsom, CA city council passing an emergency 15mph speed limit ordinance for e-bikes after hundreds of resident complaints. Good, great, fine. But could you imagine any US city passing a 15mph speed limit for cars and trucks, which actually kill people?

The right-wing calls for the **NYC Mayor** to skip the 9/11 memorial are nothing more than a transparent attempt to exploit pain and fear to normalize Islamophobia and hate. There is no world in which this would even happen if Mamdani weren’t Muslim — which tells you everything you need to know.

Two men who volunteer for UK search and rescue at sea, and who picked up refugees in the English Channel, are having their pictures and names spread on X/Twitter by “patriots.” Easily one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever seen. Just allowed with zero oversight on X. Platform is a sewer.

The 224 cities (including 10 from UK) in the Eurocities network of major European cities have teamed up with ETSC to call for national governments to adopt 30km/h (20mph) as a national norm for urban/village streets. See
eurocities.eu
Cities need EU and national support to deliver lower urban speeds - Eurocities
European cities are proving that lower urban speeds save lives and create safer, healthier and more liveable streets. But cities need EU and national support to deliver Vision Zero.

I am currently reading @sesmith.lol's tremendously good book "All my Dead Cats and Other Losses," on grief and the difficulty of grief in the cultures many of us live in. Having lost my mom a little less than 2 years ago, and a dog about 3 months ago, this excerpt resonated with me.
This is how it goes: There will be a death. You will be sad: The amount of sadness permitted will be dictated by a black box formulate that cross-references the nature of your relationship to the deceased with your race, socioeconomic class, employment status, and other factors, but no one will be able to tell you precisely what they are, only that you are getting it wrong. You may perform your grief for a set period of time that the formula will also helpfully spit out, but you definitely need to wrap it up after the funeral, memorial, or other ceremonial event. You can tuck the prayer cards or programs or poetry chapbooks into a drawer full of things that you should not look at again, lest they remind you of the person (or animal) you once knew. You will be allowed a handful of "She used to love it whens..." before your punch card is used up. As you work through it, move past it, get over it, get another one. As if it was that simple."

Good to see the DM being asked a question and getting experts to answer it. The report concluded that the additional energy required for the engine to repeatedly accelerate up to a 30mph speed limit in stop–start driving means 20mph zones are generally more fuel–efficient.
dailymail.com
Does my car use more fuel at 20mph than at 30mph?
I live in North London, where roads now have a 20mph limit - and I'm convinced that I'm filling up with fuel more often.
