Seeing all those complain about how late trains are posts

and wondering why there is not a similar amount about cars.

On Monday we rented a car because on google maps the 60min metro travel was only 30min by car.

In reality it took us over an hour because the in car navigation systems took us to the wrong street first.

Never have I had that problem in a train!

Today's ruling that the immigration exception is unlawful is a victory for migrants’ data rights in an increasingly hostile environment in the UK that treats migrants as second class citizens. It's another instance of this government trying to chip away at the human rights framework post-Brexit.

This action wouldn't have been possible without the generosity of people who donated to the legal fund and who support our work.

UK folks, a reminder that you'll need photo ID to vote in May's local elections, thanks to government "reforms" to make it harder for those less likely to have them to vote, which tends to overlap with people less likely to vote for them.

Noticed that pro-climate-action accounts were stagnating or shrinking, and that denier accounts seemed to be ballooning. So - I checked, with some help, and....yep.

Elon Musk has made Twitter into a safe space for pro-fossil fuel disinformation. A 🧵

I don't think it can be overstated just how HUGE an impact Paul O'Grady had on people like my parents.

As the press, police and politicians waged a war on the LGBTQ+ community and stoked AIDS fear, Lily Savage was on TV making them laugh, and showing them that these were real people. People they didn't need to fear. /4

@velobetty wait does the article kind of just...end? on the observation that some people who use cargo bikes look rich, and some people who use them look poor? is that his big takeaway? "wow bikes are expensive i guess"?

Adrian Chiles writes a sneering, bigoted, and disingenuous opinion piece about #CargoBikes, complete with loads of the tired old tropes we've heard over and over again from people who can't imagine how cycles are actually pleasant and not just some machine of misery ridden by the holier than thou.

Why do we even have this sort of "journalism"? 🤷‍♀️

Being a bleeding heart means compassionate, politically correct means compassionate, #woke means compassionate. You can make up all the insulting words you want to pressure people out of caring for others but compassionate is still the finest thing we can be as beings in this world.

I'm sorry, were any of you planning on telling me there used to be a species of penguin that was 6'7" (2m) tall and weighed 250 lbs (115kg) called Mega Penguin or was I supposed to just find that out on my own

By the way, Caesar's mum, Aurelia, did NOT die in childbirth, she was around in Caesar's adult life, giving him political advice and running his household, and there are no historical records to suggest she was a ghost or a zombie.

Julius Caesar was born by vaginal delivery, not a C-section. So why is the rumour he was born by a C-section so popular?

Here is France TV’s nightly weather forecast bulletin which will now discuss climate change daily, including climate scientists like Christophe Cassou answering viewer questions!

The warming stripes are used, along with an estimate of how much humans have already warmed the globe (from paper by Aurelien Ribes) which can be seen slowly increasing during the short bulletin.
