At our demonstration today, I'm holding a placard stating
"I support
Palestine.
Action
must be taken."

Two images of Saturn, one from December 1994 when you can the gorgeous ring is prominent around the planet. The one from May 1995, the ring has vanished leaving only two bright dots which are two of Saturns moons. From: https://hubblesite.org/contents/news-releases/1995/news-1995-25.html

It's #Saturn ring-plane crossing day! A once in a 13-15 yr event when Saturn's rings are edge on, as viewed from Earth, making them appear to disappear! I'm so infuriated that the Sun is in the way meaning no-one will see it! 😡 We'll just have to imagine it 😞

👇The last time it was seen in 1995. 🔭🧪

In the context of the lesson for politicians, I think you will find the findings of Oxford's Citizens' Assembly on traffic interesting to read -

By-Election Result: Bannockburn Labour go fully into reverse, resulting in the first genuine SNP gain in a very long time, and surely calling time on a local administration now consisting of just 4 members.

Early Martin-Baker ejection concept apparently derived from an Acme prototype intended for coyotes. Well, one particularly Wile E Coyote. Instead of nasty explosive rockets a giant catapult gently grabs the pilot by the scruff of the neck and yeets him bodily out of the cockpit. It never went into production, the cowards.

Annoying passengers? Hear me out here...

Vehicle regulations aspire to improve safety, but it is clear that the overall effect has been to prioritise the safety of occupants to the detriment of vulnerable road users.

street with a white truck on the right with safety features listed around the vehicle and in a yellow painted bike lane two kids ride their bike with the word Paint.

One reason I think it’s important to continue to highlight the disparity on our streets is that most people just don’t see it.

Despite it being obvious to some, so many people don't have clarity because we have done such an incredible job of normalizing this imbalance.

The first Bee Network service pulls out of a snowy Altrincham Interchange early this morning.

“Crashes are not accidental, random, or isolated – they concern people, infrastructure, and systems, which can change”
