If you're a haulage company not planning to migrate to electric If you're a country not actively facilitating the transition of lorries to electric You're doing it wrong You'll find out later when others have You'll be playing catch-up, (if you're lucky enough to still be relevant)

#itvx Why? Why do you insist on showing the live sports feed of a football game in the app? Maybe I want to come in and watch the game"as live" Maybe I don't need the pundits telling me "another win for England"before I get a chance to watch from the start

As a resident of West London I'm bemused by the ridiculous number of stations in Acton (6) for a population of 65,000 (same as Dewsbury) That's two overground (including Elizabeth line into central London) and 4 underground It's not that they shouldn't have them, but other cities need trams ASAP

Apologies for use of AI, but this, for me it's easier to process (graphic designers not heard of colour blindness) But as others as said. Celebrate what has been done, sure. But the coverage in our London (where a lot of people live) is lamentable Ealing council (labour) for example is piss-poor

Whilst I don't disagree (and haven't yet read the article) The headline does seem to indicate that speeding is something "others"do. (Young, male etc) The reality is almost all drivers speed at some point, and speeding is seen as not an issue by society

Not all cyclists are the same, we just sometimes use a similar mode of transport for some journeys Some cyclists can behave stupid & reckless at times But The same for car drivers. Some of them are idiots, dangerous and careless I don't expect drivers to have to defend the concept of car driving

I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

With our kids now #BackToSchool, never forget that we ARE the traffic that we’re afraid of. If more kids walked, biked or rode transit to school, it would erase a LOT of car trips each day, and our kids would be safer, healthier and better at school as a result. HT Ian Lockwood. Spread the word.
Cartoon of a mom and dad with a kid in front of a minivan. The parents are saying “there is too much traffic for Billy to walk to school, so we drive him.” The caption at the bottom says “traffic inducing traffic.” Let kids walk and bike to school, and tell your leaders to make that trip safe and enjoyable for kids and families. #LetKidsWalk #LetKidsBike
