I was in Utrecht for the annual Velo City conference last week and got to cycle slowly around the world's largest bike parking garage beneath the Centraal station. Room for 12,500 bikes and the first 24h of parking is free

Trump's effort to rebrand AI as SI doesn't go far enough. It should be called Super Human Intelligence Technology. We'd get more accurate news headlines, like: "Under Trump, Government Turns to SHIT" or "SHIT Heads Visit White House"

On the BBC News Katya Adler has just described Germany, where the far right AFD keep winning elections, as entering 'uncharted political territory'. Hmmm. Where Germany is concerned I think that territory is pretty well charted.

I've got an idea for Piddington, let the fuckers go, put a border up around the village, and control who goes in and out. Any dissent? Military strikes, and to hell with collateral damage. Deny them food supplies and clean water, or access to medical aid. Maybe Ed Sheeran can play a benefit gig.

Net zero is touted as a way to regenerate local economies and cushion industrial decline, as well as delivering cheap energy. Aberdeen and Grimsby show that it cannot do all three in every place that ...

Oh marvellous, Sir Keith is going to bring his particular set of skills to 'international affairs'. Given how utterly pathetic he was as PM, it'll be interesting to see if he suddenly grows a backbone in his chosen new role. My guess - absolutely no fkn chance.
