This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

Dear Britain, it’s now clear: 20mph zones save lives and don’t slow traffic. Implement them | Sadiq Khan There is too much bluff and bluster on this subject. Ordinary people just want safe streets for themselves and those they love, and we can achieve that, says London mayor Sadiq Khan

The evidence for more 20mph zones ⤵️

✔️ Cut deaths and serious injuries by 1/3
✔️ Protect children
✔️ Reduce crashes
✔️ Lower noise
✔️ Boost walking & cycling

Crying at this

okay fair play this is very funny

The Polish foreign minister, a writer and journalist who covered the Soviet war in Afghanistan in the 1980s, clearly knows a thing or two about a patiently-timed response.

It just seems like intentionally harming the US (and also the world)

Scientists have been publishing climate models since ~1970.

A good way to evaluate their skill is to compare what they expected to happen in the years after the model was published to observed climate changes.

It turns out most models were pretty spot-on:

Via @greenpeaceuk.bsky.social on insta, the most accurate use of this meme ever

"Keir Starmer to cap immigration at 0, blow up the arrivals terminals at all major UK airports and order the Royal Navy to shoot approaching vessels on sight - but in greatest Brexit betrayal yet, still refuses to allow us to hunt people with foreign vibes for sport! Only Farage can save us."

The belief that the effectiveness of right wing immigration scaremongering is remotely linked to actual migration statistics, and if you can get those low enough they'll be defanged, is so endearingly naive.

Like how a child raised by monks in a secluded temple might imagine political debate works.

Trade deals are good. People should try and get them and they should be commended when they've done them. But fuck me, they are thankless: a lot of potential political pain, as is being demonstrated today, with modest economic benefit.

Im afraid you are right. I wonder if I would be complaining more if they made bold moves

School fees leave families on £100k ‘with less than minimum wage’ The analysts behind the calculation say professionals like doctors and lawyers are being priced out

If I exclude from my income all my expenses I'm earning less than the minimum wage. This is a disgrace. I blame the government.

We don’t think Ukrainians could ever manage our super complex military equipment *drops fighter jet into the sea*

Great article -

You help "left behind" areas by helping the nearest big city. Our problem is the relative economic weakness of our big cities outside London.

US navy has a new submarine! Not a very good one but still

Student rescued from Mount Fuji twice in one week Chinese national, 27, reportedly returned to Japan’s highest mountain days after first rescue to retrieve his phone

Saved this story so I can look at it again whenever I need a laugh.

Could you ever have imagined you would see a headline like this in your lifetime

Wooah. 18.5% reduction in sick leave reported.

(And this was pre-Covid:
"Our sample periods for the LEZ and ULEZ analyses are 2005–2009 and 2016–2019, respectively.")

(1/4) It was America and Britain that guaranteed the sovereignty of Ukraine and its borders in return for persuading them to give up their nuclear weapons.

Elon Musk's effort to slash government "led to purchasing bottlenecks and increased costs; paralysis in decision-making; longer public wait times; higher-paid civil servants filling in menial jobs, and a brain drain of scientific and technological talent."

NIH cancels its first and largest study centered on women The Women’s Health Initiative has produced numerous influential findings

I don't get how anyone can possibly be okay with ending the WHI. This study has accrued decades of data from 42000 women and it is still going. It helps to address critical research gaps that have been allowed to go unfilled because of durable misogyny and provides invaluable insight into aging.

Thank you for all the updates. My thoughts are with you all

TRUMP AND BESSENT: We’re negotiating with China, this trade war will be resolved soon.

CHINA: WTF are you talking about.
