‘99% Invisible’ Pod Reveals How Unprepared We Are for Climate Catastrophe The Ambies-nominated podcast of the year examines the perverse effects of the crisis, from skyrocketing insurance premiums to a scarcity of affordable housing: “We’re only at the beginning of this.”

So happy that Emmett’s excellent series on 99pi is getting the awards and press attention it deserves.

It’s important and also a GREAT listen! They don’t make podcasts like this much anymore.

Dammit. Someone nicked our cute lil yellow Yoonit. A mini cargo bike.

Share around, and keep an eye out around Edinburgh. Shout at @cargobikemovement.bsky.social if you see it. Let's make this thing too hot to handle.

Bike theft is the worst. Bike theft from a CHARITY is something else 😤

Yes, they will.

Just did a quick trip in a very efficient EV and noticed the energy used was about 20 times more than it would have been by an ebike.

Ebikes are key to transport decarbonisation

If you drive in winter, the most pro-social thing you can do is just have patience. Slow down. Wait for pedestrians. Wait for cyclists. Park farther away and walk if you need to in order to keep bike lanes and bus stops and crosswalks clear. You’re in a mobile living room, you’ll be fine.

Will other clubs fans have the balls to stand by the Celtic fans against the inevitable fine from uefa? Please repost

A bookseller with short red hair and green eyes stands in the bookshop's doorway, where a Palestinian flag hangs on one door and posters for events with Omar el Akkad and Ellen Jones are on the other. The bookseller holds a stack of books that include Azadi, The Message, Pirate Care and Tangled in Terror.

an image of a bombed out civil defence ambulance in Gaza is overlaid with a red book titled One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by Omar el Akkad - above it text reads "Omar El Akkad hosted by Rahul Rao, Assembly Roxy Edinburgh, Weds 12 Feb, 7pm" and "poetry from Nada Shawa & Janette Ayachi in support of Palestine fundraiser".

One Day Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This - an indictment of the rot, racism & hypocrisy at the heart of the so-called liberalism of the west, by a writer reflecting on how the mask of western morality slipped and shattered in light of the genocide perpetuated on Palestinians since 2023. 🧵

“Why don’t cyclists use the bike lanes?” number 2438.

Vehicle whose driver who attempted to drive into me. Psychopathic behaviour.

Edinburgh vehicle whose driver was very comfortable attempting to drive into me. I assume unhappy at having to drive within the 20 speed limit along Grange Rd.

@policescotland.bsky.social it’s why cyclists ride with cameras and why you need a portal.

Tom Bombadil és un dels personatges més misteriosos de Tolkien i que, a més, no apareix a la trilogia de Peter Jackson (sí a la sèrie d'Amazon). No pertany a cap facció ni raça, l’Anell no té poder sobre ell i viu una vida pacífica al marge de les guerres de la història.

Change in Paris air quality between 2007 and 2023 using visuals

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people.

Good trade.

a colourful blue, orange, red and purple chart showing a light and dar kblue history for temperatures, recent shifts upwards through orange and light red, and two futures: one of light and dark red (1.5c), and one of deep purple (3c and more)

I think this is one of my favourite colourful climate chart type things, because it depicts two things at once:

- Things are going to get worse, no matter what

- The degree to which they get worse depends on decisions made today

I don't know about this one but ads also play a part there, the more you scroll the more ads displayed and the more money they get. Being Google and Criteo big players there

Stacks of crushed cars that have been in crashes

1.35 million people a year, 3.7K a day, are killed world-wide in traffic crashes, with another 20-50 million a year seriously injured. Car crashes are the #1 global killer of young people. Via @who.int

Imagine if we reconsidered our infrastructure design, speed limits, EVERYTHING, to save them.

An honour to ride w everyone tonight. Thanks to Advocacy for Respect for Cyclists @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social, these ghost bikes installed outside Queen's Park, in honour of 2 people on bikes recently killed.

So used to the success of banning this in Edinburgh that it’s weird to see it still tolerated in other cities. Like visiting a country where you can still smoke in pubs and restaurants. Dark ages stuff.
