Easier to argue against something when you dont have it. Once you have it everyone will be like oh wait thats very nice

I think **most** wouldn't complain if we just went and did this in places in the UK and they saw how much positive change it made to their local areas

As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy

I know I’ve got some Labour local gov’t types following me, so I want to say this clearly so that you can share it internally as appropriate: I will never again vote Labour while these policies, or Wes Streeting, are in place. I will not vote Labour at any level because of this.

My insta feed is just full of Glasgow fire and anger over it being destroyed by a vape shop.

Whether I get a personalised feed from that or not, it'd be nice if people are all finally fed up with these dodgy shops littering our streets everywhere.

LOVE this!

I really become a very old man when I see AI generated images.. especially for things which already existed elsewhere.

I'm a bit of a hypocrite cos I do have a muppet version of me on my WhatsApp but still.

They'll write asking for evidence of a new railcard. If they bought a new one yesterday then **should** be okay.

Electricical

Insanely, looking at the TER machines again...

Old machine thin card only
Old machine fat card and coin
New machine thin card and coin
New machine fat card only

Why the swap! Why the size difference! Why anything!

Also why never any notes lol

France init

Sncf ticket purchase and amendment machine. Surprisingly they only have one type of machine here at strasbourg

Local CTS bus and tram ticket machine for the local strasbourg area

Of course those aren't the only types of ticket vending machine at Strasbourg, because you also have SNCF and the local bus and tram ticket machines too.

Six different styles of machines at one station. French nonsense showing itself fully here.

Ter fluo ticket machine small style very 1997 website interface

Ter fluo fat style with a touch screen ooh

Ter fluo small new ticket machine not yet in operation

Ter fluo unbranded big fat ticket machine also not in operation yet

How many types of ticket vending machine do you need for local trains, at one station?

Albeit two of the four are clearly going to be replacements.. at some point...

Clip from youtube of two Americans at zug station, one sitting down and one leaning against a pillar

Myself sat on the same bench with the same background at Zug, trying to look like Adam and failing miserably.

Used my connection time at Zug yesterday to locate where @adamchase.bsky.social and @samfromwendover.bsky.social were located during their Switzerland game.

Then did my best Adam impression once spotted

Imagine a Britain where we had used the profits from North Sea Oil to prepare for it running out and having a transport network that works rather than giving rich people a tax cut.

Every single person going hard for AI is either a boss, a bootlicker, a Nazi, or was kicked in the head by a horse.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

Ooh I last went there when it was the beer and pizza place. Have they done it up nice inside?

Energy insecurity. Higher bills. Exposure to catastrophic economic consequences of Trump's wars.

That's what happens when you fail to shift fast enough to renewables, and cut back on support for clean energy.

Let's cut bills & create jobs through a clean power revolution.

A ridiculous tuxedo cat doing a little LIKK on my dunked digestive biscuit. Actually it's 2 for structural integrity, otherwise the wet bit flops off and lands on his paws and he gets all grumpy

I'm telling you, Paul makes me dunk his biscuit in tea. He does. HE DOES

This lifeboat is a bit uncomfortable…

Labour recycling <checks notes> BNP policy from 15 years ago.
How's that massive slide to the right feeling Labour pals?

Cause I'm not even in the Labour Party and it makes me feel sick.🤮

I don’t recall seeing this in my contract

Absolutely not. For god sake. Its one of the things they should definitely be doing!

Express website full of shit covering up the page so you cant read the article

How the fuck do "news" sites consider this

A) Acceptable
B) Likely to continue readership?

Fucking baffles me.

Thats what I thought from Trent but everything else was spelt right.

Working for a rail operator, our design agency can't get places in the right location on a map to save their life so could be human still 😭

Sign saying ‘our bartenders are so light fingered they could be concert pianists’ Why, are they going to rob me?

I feel they have misunderstood this expression:

Good to see my hometown just called "trent" on the map lol
