@VoltPaperScissors that all sounds good; for is it about having a nice and safe way for smallies to take away what they made in their workshop, or for adults at a conference to pimp their badges. Scotch tape, labels, paper all a little flimsy. Another nice […] [Original post on mastodon.ie]

pigeons gorging on elderberries is good gun to watch as they are waaaaay too heavy for the slender branches, keep sliding off but gamely climbing back up. I hear Chumbawumba in my head "I get knocked down but I get up again"

A timely and eloquent judgement from India. Supreme Court on walking: India is a nation of walkers - but its cities forgot them www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce3e4enkr…

The judges responded with unusual eloquence. Walking, Justice PS Narasimha wrote, is "the simplest of the simple human activity, inextricably connected to life". Roads therefore impose a corresponding duty on the state to provide safe footpaths. "The fundamental right to walk on demarcated footpaths shall override the privilege of a motorised vehicle," he declared.
