Hereโ€™s an interesting and important study on how fact-checking social media can lead to accusations of bias against right wing discourse - but itโ€™s actually because that discourse is more likely to contain misinformation to start with. Paging @sheencr.bsky.social

Another train cancellation. Had to cancel existing ticket and buy a new one (different companies) to endure the alleged luxury of getting to work on time. Booking fees apply. WiFi intermittent at best. So long trains, promise Iโ€™ll try to travel green whenever I canโ€ฆ #greentravel #train #trainfail

Agree: itโ€™s a reluctant decision. My best hope is that plans to renationalise the railways will mean reinvestment rather than profit firstโ€ฆ letโ€™s see though! ๐ŸŒณ

Sadly Iโ€™ve decided after 3.5 years of โ€˜greenโ€™ commuting and #activetravel across #Devon, I canโ€™t do it anymore. The trains are frequently late and the fallacy that I can โ€˜work on the trainโ€™ is overโ€ฆ no signal, ever. Gutted. I tried.
