"Suggest you google this guy" Manchester City Council responded to my 2013 Freedom of Information request for details of their deal with Manchester City by flagging my background to City's chief communications officer. Deeply inappropriate (and that's being generous).

I'm half way through S1 of Tall Tales and Murder, and I'm absolutely loving it. Dark as hell, many deep laughs, slightly surreal in parts, great performances from all, lovely to see younger folks like the amazing Ella Lily Hyland and Casey Walsh doing great work. Don't miss it!

Over on X, the everything app, claims that Ireland has descended into "full-blown civil war", with people engaged in open warfare about migration and claims about the "New Irish Republican Army", mostly with old/unrelated videos/images. Absolute brain worms.

§JUST IN: Ireland is on the brink of becoming the first country in Europe to plunge into a full-blown civil war over immigration.
The government and police are struggling to maintain order in major cities as protests and acts of civil disobedience escalate.

SHOCKING: IRELAND JUST ERUPTED INTO FULL CIVIL WAR
Patriots seize Dublin and major cities...owing to SHUT DOWN the entire economy until the Treasonous Government FOLDS.

It remains the case that escooters make up a small fraction of road fatalities, incl deaths of children The overwhelming majority of road fatalities are homicides caused by collisions involving cars & large motor vehicles (e.g. lorries) The media coverage doesn't reflect this

People who cycle are often accused of cycling "in the middle of the road". What they really mean of course is cycling in the middle of the lane, and there are lots of good reasons why people do this, explained succinctly in this @davewalker.bsky.social cartoon for @cyclinguk.bsky.social

Cartoon entitled "Road Positioning" and subtitled "Times when it might be safer to cycle in the middle of the lane". There are four illustrated examples

1. Approaching road narrowings where it would be unsafe for drivers to overtake e.g. traffic islands etc

2. In slower-moving traffic. Keeps you visible. You can move over to the left again if the traffic speeds up.

3. Where there are parked cars and a car door might be opened.

4. On quiet roads. Keeps you away from various hazards found in the gutter.
