The great thing about being a transit nerd is that I’ve never respected Elon Musk

Any plans here MUST take account of the future cross-Clyde rail tunnel and the main station linking Queen Street and Central. It's an inevitability and a necessity and the fact that Glasgow hasn't yet developed safeguarded plans means opportunities like this will be wasted.

Today I discovered that people have been uploading old stock photo CD-ROMs to the Internet Archive and now I'm obsessed with the mid-'90s business-core aesthetic.

Two dudes standing around a watercooler, presumably having a 'watercooler conversation' about last night's Seinfeld or whatever.

I just find it interesting how many British centrists can see the issue when billionaire Elon Musk uses his money and power to influence American law and Government policy to operate how he wants it to, but don’t see the problem when JK Rowling does the same in Britain.

I think it’s fine to bully people for reading Harry Potter in 2025 actually If you want to read your old Harry Potter books, you should do it in secret and shamefully - you know, in the way that J.K. Rowling wants to force trans people to live.

Are Muslims really banning dogs in parks? 🤔 Let’s look at this perfect example of how rage baiting works, and how disinformation spreads, sticks, and fuels division, even years after being debunked… 🧵1/22 (1/1)

dogs?
Yes or No

I don’t miss Twitter one bit, but due to the fantastic decisions made by its current leadership, not having an account means you can’t see tweets in chronological order. Which is a problem when it’s still the “public square” and I just want to get updates on when my water will be back on 🥲

The BBC gets a lot of stick but their achievements should be praised. 20+ million for two shows is a staggering achievement, especially for two different shows airing on the same day.

There’s a bit during Miley’s set at Glastonbury 2019 where she brings out Billy Ray Cyrus and Lil Nas X to perform Old Town Road, & Billy Ray very obviously misses his cue because his “vocals” can be heard clearly before he’s anywhere near the mic. Good to know things could’ve been much, much worse

in case you weren't familiar with why elon musk has a longstanding grudge against Wikipedia he hates what he cannot control slate.com/technology/2...

But there is in fact someone who cares more about Musk’s Wikipedia page than even his most diehard fanboy—Elon Musk himself. All signs indicate that the world’s richest man is obsessed with how he is described on the free internet encyclopedia.

Back in December 2019, Musk tweeted, “Just looked at my wiki for 1st time in years. It’s insane! Btw, can someone please delete ‘investor’. I do basically zero investing.” In a follow-up tweet, Musk suggested that his Wikipedia page should focus on his leadership of Tesla and SpaceX rather than his investing activity.

Spot on. Comprehensive pedestrianisation should be far higher up the agenda in our cities than it is. Nearly wherever cars go, cities get worse. Nearly wherever they’re removed, those urban spaces flourish.
