This is it exactly.

For a century, we've had too many dudes at the table designing our infrastructure. The result is a hostile environment built for people who are "comfortable being uncomfortable," which leaves almost everyone else behind.

What if you had to take your drivers test at least every 10 years?

A lot changes over time. Including knowledge/memory of the road rules, driver skills and ability, and the size and deadliness of vehicles.

Yeeesh.

"A birth male" is the newest term to be forced on us by the bigots among the judiciary.

Britain's 'justice' system is utterly fucked.

The 'victim' here is a POS for the record. And not a victim.

I especially love the way that "Mum, when are you EVER going to use that stupid costume again, why are you keeping it?" questions have matured.

Having seen this happen over and over, my mum is very determined to do the clearing-out and down-sizing herself. The big challenge is taking dad along with the plan.

BBC airing false claim about Euan Blair blamed on young producers โ€˜marinated in social mediaโ€™ Broadcaster apologised after Have I Got News For You falsely said former PMโ€™s son had won digital ID contract

There are many reasons to be concerned about the govt's digital ID scheme, but this is not one of them. Please do not spread this misinformation, it makes those opposing digital ID look like a bunch of conspiracy theorists.

Zack Polanski: I went on Question Time - I was blown away by the response The response has been quite overwhelming.

Membership at record levels.

Polling at record levels.

Winning elections at record levels.

Zack Polanski is a breath of fresh air, because he is exposing far right populism and all the lies. And everyone is listening because they've had enough. Labour , Tories and Reform are all the same now and that's why he stands out exposing all their hypocrisy.

Graphic. Cut out of Zack Polanski saying " Zia, do you ever think immigration is the number one problem because you spend a lot of time spreading misinformation and fear?" In speech bubble. Cut out of Zia Yusuf from Reform below.

Weird how immigration dominates every headline.

It's never the comms. Labour's comms is grey because in the absence of a clear strategy for what the government wants to achieve, no-one can defend or articulate what the government says in an interesting or exciting way.

Nigel Farage accuses teachers of "poisoning our kids" on race issues.

Here's a reminder of what teachers and fellow pupils at Farage's own school remember of his own views on that subject.

The Israel Defense Forces used a Scottish museumโ€™s 3D models in propaganda videos โ€“ The Ferret

I mean what the fuck - just dropping scans of a workbench and an electricity box in Scotland into two different "we bombed them because" videos.

Probably just swapped out the coaster-brake rear wheel (standard in British bikes back then) to lose some weight.

He doesn't get it. They don't get it.

Autism isn't even a problem to solve.

If anyone is trying to 'solve' or 'prevent' autism, they are sus.

Brainworm is too stupid to realise that autism diagnoses and autism rates are not the same thing. Of course western developed countries have higher numbers of diagnoses, because we have the doctors for that. Autistic people are autistic whether or not they have a piece of paper that says they are.

The only legal electric bikes are electric assisted pedal cycles (EAPC). These must have working pedals, travel no more than 15.5 mph, and an output of no more than 250 watts.

Great that the police are cracking down on illegal ebikes. Disappointing that they make statements like this. Legal ebikes may travel at more than 15.5 mph, but electrical assistance is only available up to that speed and only while pedalling. I assume that this is what by "working pedals"
