I believe I do!

Fossil fascism needs its foot soldiers.

As ever @rantyhighwayman.bsky.social is spot on.

Can you imagine expecting a defect preventing people in cars from using a road having a standard 28 day wait to fix it?

If we are serious about inclusion, then our streets must work for children, older and disabled people all the time.

Very good article here.

For those who missed it: this was the moment The Strokes ensured they’ll never be invited back to Coachella again! I'm so proud of them

With more and more cars year after year, and with each year's new car model a little bigger than last year's, before long every street will look like this.

Increasing carfree spaces is the way to avoid this fate. But beyond a few barriers, that requires leaders willing to take on #UKCarCulture.

We need more photos of angry people in local newspapers pointing at Land Rovers.

Good to see this.

Cuba is a small country, but by presenting an alternative to US empire, it poses a big threat to those who benefit most from the structures of power that order our world.

Those who order wars of resource extraction don't care about the soldiers who fight in them.

How does Lindsay Hoyle have any credibility after what he did to the SNP ceasefire vote in February 2024, when it still might have been possible to diplomatically isolate Israel and stop its genocide?

Wtaf @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social ?!!!

Alfred McCoy, Cold War on Five Continents

Ensuring this kind of transport system is a big part of what US foreign policy is about.

Went to Cornwall once, where there were entire streets that couldn't even fit a Land Rover, which many people here NEED to drive.

Absolute nightmare.

If Nigel Farage ever becomes PM he should really thank the BBC brass before he shuts down our public broadcaster.

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.

Please stand by for more.

Picture of street filled with people when cars are prohibited, with a prominent sign saying “road closed.” Via Urban Truth Collecrive (Also, it’s a street, not a road)

How come they keep spelling “open” wrong?

Does that street look closed to you? Only if you’re a car… and presumably that’s the real problem. #UrbanTruth

Terrible news. So sorry to hear this.

15 minutes; no questions; government got the blame; my department to have 60% of us sacked. Apparently sacking us will lead to a ‘new, improved’ curriculum. No voluntary scheme, straight to selection and legal minimum redundancy payment.

The Paris transformation continues, unhindered by the culture of excuses, and self-sabotaging election results, that we’ve seen in too many other cities.

Delighted to go on BBC Politics South yesterday and talk about the @righttoroam.bsky.social amongst other things.

Sweden has had this law of “public access to land” for decades, Scotland introduced it in 2003, its time we did the same in England.

Makes me think about those *hypothetical* institutions treating Heterodox Academy - shadowy funding & political affiliations and all - as a 'community of choice' to promote through all-staff emails.

While at the same time clamping down on any hint of pro-Palestine / anti-genocide speech & action.

If you are running in the upcoming @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social elections and agree that our city should do more to facilitate safe and efficient mobility for people moving around our city without cars, here is an opportunity to make your views widely known to the voting public!

The UK American Studies Against the Genocide Network is pleased to announce the programme for our symposium on the 9th May 2026 at KCL. We gather as academics, culture workers, students and activists to address Palestine in American Studies, centring it as a longstanding site of US imperial violence

Circle the city monthly ride - First Friday of the month Join Better Streets for Birmingham to ride 10km around Birmingham City Centre. First Friday of every month, leaving Hippodrome Square at 6pm.

For a year now, @betterstreetsforbirmingham.org has run an inclusive, 10km monthly cycle ride around the city.

On May 1st we're adding a 1 km walking & wheeling contingent.

Join us for an opportunity to collectively imagine if our city was designed for mobility for everyone!

A graph showing the rise in citations for our 2023 motonormativity paper, up to 101 in total today

Given the considerable lags in the academic publishing process, I'm surprised and gratified by how rapidly motonormativity is becoming a thing in the literature

I say we step back and pedestrianize the site permanently.

It's the only way to be sure.
