France3 goes to Centre Val de Loire to examine the problems with regional rail in France. It’s a solid report! https://youtu.be/U8eFQHHnq_k?si=WO9mRBHRzxZXBzso

This Guardian article provides an effective summary of some problems faced by speakers of smaller languages. I appreciated the emphasis on the need to focus on the speaker over the language, and the wording, e.g. framing of linguistics as a discipline that has mostly (and, by implication, misguidedly) “been chasing theoretical and computational questions …”

New study on "car harm":
"Since their invention, cars ... have killed 60–80 million people and injured at least 2 billion."
"Currently, 1 in 34 deaths are caused by [cars]."
This needs publicity
When an owner of a media company is this Islamophobic, he needs to be exposed

“It’s no secret that Canada is facing a major housing shortage. But could the sheer amount of space used for parking vehicles be part of the problem?”

Wir waren heute nach meiner Schätzung 120 Radfahrer*innen, die in #EssenRuhr unterwegs gewesen sind, #Natenom gedacht und auf mehr Sicherheit im Straßenverkehr aufmerksam gemacht haben. Auf der Fahrt reichte die Schlange der Radler*innen von der Haltestelle Martinstr. bis am Landgericht vorbei in die Virchowstr. .
Danke den Veranstalter*innen und den Vorleser*innen eines Dialogs zwischen Natenom und einer seiner Kritikerinnen.

“Sometimes we all need a reminder that cycling is for everyone” writes Global Cycling Network General Editor Daniel Benson
And yes we all do
Cycling, even as a sport, is for everyone. It’s an inclusive pastime and sport, an inclusive mode of transport

It’s not an Anglo country but also Celtic too, albeit they should be given the opportunity to have proper self-determination

@Colin631 very true
Equally I guess the village of Watford must be beautiful- I did once visit Cathorpe (that of the M6 start) and it is very quiet and serene

What would you do if your partner, or your child, were injured or killed by a Robotaxi (or self-driving car, or whatever you want to call them)? Who would you blame? What happens when humans become an algorithm's road kill?

ReCAPTCHA has judged you and found you unworthy. For the heinous crime of missing three pixels of a traffic light, your punishment is to click 59 fire hydrants with agonisingly slow load times.
@jon thank you for highlighting this
Was going to write a post about him linking your article and tagging you in of course but it’s better to come direct from you
