One of the maddest cinema experiences I ever had was going to see The Departed with my face blind wife.
Matt Damon, Leonardo Di Caprio and Mark Wahlberg all playing double agents? And then you throw in Jack Nicholson and Ray Winstone? Fuhgeddaboudit.
It was a playground activity for both sexes in our school. I had a huge rope that we could get 10 or 12 people jumping on at the same time. Don’t think I’ve ever felt as important!
Women often experience cities differently from men, and that shapes how they travel through them.
In this video, Melissa Bruntlett (Modacity Creative) explains this clearly. Understanding women’s mobility priorities helps create a clearer picture of what inclusive transport systems require.

I ruptured both my Achilles playing (crap) football, so I knew instantly what was wrong with Ekitike when he fell, the poor sod - it’s so recognisable.
It’s not the most painful injury I’ve ever had, but the recovery is a nightmare.
Is this a cry for help, or a signal or code of some kind maybe?
Eww 😣

Fascinating. I didn’t know any of that. I assumed they were industry-led.
Via Sarah H-N / Architect GP, years ago in the other place.
NOW: B52 bombers are literally in the air on their way to Iran and hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets waving flags and surrounding bridges & power plants.
Difficult to imagine this has any precedent in modern warfare.

Fraunhofer ISE diagram, showing all "eco' power generation is cheaper than fossils and nuclear. Even with batteries. Figure 1: Levelized cost of electricity for renewable energy sources and conventional power plants at locations in Germany in 2024. The levelized cost of electricity is calculated using a minimum and a maximum value for each technology
Don't look at this chart if you can't handle how distorted the discourse about renewable energy is. (It's an economic no- brainer.)

It’s revolting, but I *think* (hope?) it shows they don’t take the threat seriously.
They couldn’t possibly talk like that if they thought he was going to follow through.
Could they?
Two black cats sit with their backs to the camera, staring intently out and up through glass doors. Outside is a small garden with a wall at its edge. On top of the wall is a small slatted fence and through that fence can be seen the silhouette of ANOTHER CAT.

I’m now <1hr away from finishing the audiobook and then will go and see it again 🤓
100% agree.
I saw it with my kids - 19, 14 and 11. 14 was NOT happy to have been dragged away from her pals to go and watch a stupid SPACE movie and she doesn’t even FANCY Ryan Gosling.
And then she laughed and sobbed her way through the whole thing and has been hassling her pals to see it since.

Christmas for the IT. They get to publish a right-wing talking point above the fold AND a photo of the ever-fragrant Maria.

In Belgium, employees receive compensation for every kilometre they ride, with some cyclists earning up to €810 per year.
And why not? Biking saves public money for everyone.
“All employees in Belgium who cycle to work are entitled to a bicycle allowance of €0.28 per kilometre of their commute.”
Iconic Andy Singer cartoon with a driver saying “Public Transit wastes money. It always has to be SUBSIDIZED!” He is surrounded by evidence that driving is heavily subsidized. In fact, investing in walking, biking, public transit, and housing for the otherwise homeless saves public money.
One of the biggest disinformation campaigns ever applied to cities involves the constant claims that “driving pays its way.” It’s actually MASSIVELY subsidized, while things like walking, biking, public transit & supportive housing for the unhoused actually SAVE PUBLIC MONEY. #UrbanTruth
This looks amazing. Might it be made available to screen in other countries?
I would still be walking around with my hands on my face
