The target for children to cycle to the new Rivermead school is 3% and there’s next to no plans to provide safe routes for kids who won’t be in cars.
Sign the petition to tell @ReadingCouncil our kids need better! #rdguk #endcarculture

Fantastic to see default 20mph being introduced in Wales tomorrow. Why wouldn’t you want to reduce danger on our roads and save lives?

As parliament debate #AccessToNature today, a personal essay.
Deep in my valley is a tree so old it makes my bones ache. There are only a handful like it in the country, and its boughs harbour some of our oldest stories.
Yet almost no-one has ever seen it. 🧵

The Last of Us seems like a pretty faithful adaptation of the original game but I think it was cowardly to leave out the scene where joel gets killed 18 times in the first clicker room and considers getting a refund
The arrogance of it is mind-blowing. "The City business partner of Jacob Rees-Mogg has been handed a peerage and job as a senior minister by Liz Truss’s government in a move likely to trigger accusations of cronyism..." theguardian.com/politics/202…
Seems like Gordon Brown is better at owning the fight against poverty than the leader of the opposition... Sky News: Nearly 50,000 sign petition backing Gordon Brown's call for emergency budget to tackle cost of living.

It's a dumb cycle lane. Terrible to make a left turn halfway down the road. Should be on both sides of the road each way. Plenty of space. The one way is sensible for flow and pollution but benefits have little to do with cycling.
The photos clearly show cyclists not using the dedicated cycle lanes readingchronicle.co.uk/news/…

Included are 20mph zones, clean air zones, 15 min neighbourhoods, LTN 1/20 standard cycle lanes on main roads, pedestrianised streets, THE LOT. Many LA in England deffo not ready for that kind of change. It is a big push imo.

Imagine being in infosec and proudly announcing all the false positives you blocked.

Almost 4,000 years ago an Egyptian civil servant, worried for his life, fled north and found himself in the land inhabited by strange and violent cattle herders. This is the tale of Sinuhe and his experience of Indo-European warrior culture. [THREAD]

Sometimes, a tiny change in the political process comes along that makes you realize just how far things have come - a change that's both substantive *and* symbolic. 1/
