Do we have to look and see if every council has a similar page ? My bet is they all do.

For more information about the Friday night massacre at CDC, I wrote up an analysis of who got terminated and what that means for public health.

Grateful to @saveamericamvmt.bsky.social for supporting and amplifying. We are in really terrible trouble.

@peaseroland.bsky.social Very disappointed to find out at the end of today's Science in Action that the show is ending in three weeks . The best science show/podcast available anywhere.

Small sub map shown on desktop browser that shows the shape of Wales

Same map on mobile browser removes Wales.

When you look at the map in the story on desktop and mobile it does something strange to Wales.

Sure the news can edit Trump's speech to highlight that he's a total country destroying madman, or they can edit a version where it looks like he's giving a tough talk. Which do you suppose they'll go with?

The flew the entire military leadership in so they could see for themselves that the Secretary of Defense is a mouthbreathing dipshit and the Commander in Chief is a senile, weak old man who might keel over at any moment.

I always remember it as the panorama site with the German name.
Q. from the southernmost point of Scotland what is the shortest series of hops to get to the northernmost point. It might not always be max distance as that changes the potential route.

Image of text from Guardian political report about Ian Murray being removed from Government post probably for just being Ian Murray. They had more patience than i expected.

Oh dear the journalists vanity has got their little pictures in to the minute by minutes. That was the start of the downfall years ago when journalists thought we were interested in what they looked like. Why not put the headline writes face in as well

Double row of tables in front of a restaurant on a corner impinging on to tactile flags.

When did we decide the public realm was better as private property? Who thought it would be better to make pavements more difficult to move along safely especially for those with no other choices?

Anyone who knows this route and the path to and from Glasgow centre that it is pretending people will use regularly is just pushing an agenda and personal grievances and not realistically encouraging safe and convenient travel by walking.wheeling and public transport.

Stopped bus will now block traffic which will back up on to main road.
NB there are cycle ways on both sides so this is Glasgow council building cycle lanes for the use of East Dunbartonshire residents, good use of money suckers. There is not a safe place to cross this. road along its full length

Original bus layby with access from pavement and shelter to bus

Modified bus stop with terrible bus access

shwoing route peopel with impairments have to take to get to bus

More public transport, pedestrian and wheeler hatred from the council.
They could have started this 10 m further on and had no disruption to bus users, but they simply do not care. Make the people with impairments travel a round about route to get to a bus especially if it is raining.

The finished layout at the bottom of Byres Road and Dumbartob rod outside the Three Judges pub. An across pavement cycle lane with diversion of walker/wheeler routes away from kerb. Unscreened seating. Some painted markings trying to convey something. Stop lines that will never be used.

When ableist clowns who hate walkers and wheelers get to wreck the public realm. They don't want accessible cities just what fits their personal requirements or buffs their CV's.
What does the TRO say for this ? What was the cost

The point in history where the next episode of South Park @southparkstudios.bsky.social on Aug 20th will be too late to save a country.
Release some trailers showing Trump as Putin's lap dog, you have to do it.

Spiderman 4 is filming in Glasgow just now if you want to take the kids to see that.

a "non-affordance" ?

BBC Radio 4 - In Touch, Benefits Bill In Touch provides detail on what the new Benefits Bill means for the visually impaired.

I dont think anyone outside the blind and VI sphere knows, realises or cares . BBC Radio 4 Int ouch has been trying to get government ministers on to answer for weeks; www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

BBC Radio 4 - In Touch, Benefits Bill In Touch provides detail on what the new Benefits Bill means for the visually impaired.

Blind and other visually impaired people do not in general reach 4 points in a category but can achieve PIP levels across sections accumulating points.A blanket 4 points in a section or nothing would re move PIP/ADP from most blind/partially sighted,working or not www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Has anyone addressed that blind and visually impaired people do not generally reach that 4 point value for any one section but reach PIP by accumulation across sections. This rule will remove PIP from a majority of blind and partially sighted people. BBC R4 In Touch has been trying to get answers

Those seats need screening that will go over the tactiles. no tactiles on crossing edge or indications for a safe crossing in front of vehicles coming down Byres road and over this "road". A menace and a danger

A final ;? third attempt at changes to a a formerly safe pavement area outside The Three Judges pub on Dumbarton Road. An unsafe mess with no safe crossing point to get along the pavement.

Such a joke. A real FU to walkers and wheelers. A hatred of disabled people and pavement users in general to make a roadway across a pavement for employees of multinational companies and spoiled little ableists. What does the TRO say for this possible illegal crossing of a pavement?

New crossing signal where West Nile St crosses Sauchiehall st. It has green and red man but no red/green cycle and an additional signal control at at pegasus height

Puffin, Toucan or Pegasus ?

EVERYONE ELSE TAKING SHOWERS, NOT ME GETTING SMELLIER

I want you to be on more American podcasts so you can try to explain the stone clearing and self playing snooker.

It’s so interesting that an outlet that encourages its writers to speak truth to power is flourishing in a media industry where everything else seems to be in decline. I want that to be a lesson to people. Kowtowing to power—if your job is not that, nobody fucking wants that. It does nothing for you to pull a punch at this moment. You have to be able to stand up for a baseline of humanity. That’s what we do here. And I’m glad to tell you that they never blinked. They never thought twice about it. They just always were like, “All right, well, let’s keep doing what we do here.”

People keep asking why The Onion is doing well right now, and it's simply because we just refuse to kowtow. I cannot stress enough how good it is for your business and your soul be strong and even fun in the face of the ongoing horror and bullshit.

In Touch - Benefits Reform - BBC Sounds How does the government's reform to the welfare system affect visually impaired people?

Since the government forgot about accessible versions of their disability cuts consultation BBC In Touch did a special about them . VIP people who need PIP generally do not get 4 points in a bracket but an accumulation across activities ( 14 minutes )

Outside Three judges pub showing new build terrible tactile design. tactiles missing and all to make it easy for cyclists to cross the pavement unencumbered. Street furniture in way at crossing and disconnected travel paths. No building line or edges for guidance.

Mar 8 2025.
This design should be career ending for any accredited professional that designed and signed off on it.
Wonder what the TRO says for that cross pavement section of course will they claim it is no longer pavement. If not it should have a detectable min 60mm edge and warning tactiles

Cars avoiding large puddle under bridge

Pedestrian having to wakl with their back to traffic in middle lane to avoid puddle blocking pavement

February 2025 . If anything it has gotten worse. Note how pedestrians have to walk in middle of the road back to traffic under dark tunnel to get to bus stops. Moving the bus stop was a disgrace and not fixing any of this after 6 years is a joke

Van splashing water onto pavement at crossing from puddle in gutter
