A cartoon depicts a man and a woman walking side by side on a street. The woman wears a stylish dress and holds a purse, while the man is in a suit. The caption reads, "My desire to be well-informed is currently at odds with my desire to remain sane.”

it’s a problem.

Some good news.

London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time – almost 200 years earlier than predicted – following the Mayor’s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces.

The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.

quick while the government is shut down let’s all switch to metric

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

A view of Loch Lomond from approximately midway up to Ben Lomond. The image is a panorama, showing the Munro on the left, the loch in the middle as it catches sunlight, and the western bank of the loch on the right. It’s a partly cloudy day, perfect for hiking.

A view of the small white house on the way to Glencoe. The house sits before Buachaille Etive Mòr, a mountain in Scotland. The flora around the house is generally warm-colored, with a mild red tinge. As the elevation increases, the yellows and golds yield to greens, before it all abates into greys on the Munro.

A panoramic view of the valley leading to Glencoe. Etive Mòr is on the right third of the image, a copse of trees in the valley bottom, centered in the photograph, and Stob Beinn a’Chrulaiste on the left side of the image. The valley is partly illuminated by a golden light from the Sun, with other areas obscured by clouds or laying in the shadow of Buachaille Etive Mòr.

I’ve been back from Scotland for less than 24 hours and I already want to go back.

The afternoon games during the summer were incredible for this. It’s definitely a perk (but we pay for it by not having convenient times for the other games!).

This is a chillllllll evening. 😌

A black Brompton 2-speed folding bicycle held upright by the person taking the picture. The road under the bike had potholes and wet patches. In the background, a small grassy verge in which is planted a sign with chevrons that has been defaced.

and, more interestingly, the Brompton in all of its unfolded glory:

Clean energy and jobs from publicly-owned Great British Energy Energy Secretary Ed Miliband has set out his vision for Great British Energy, the UK’s publicly-owned clean power company.
