This is extraordinarily worrying as this anti science misinformation will harm/kill people, and forge further distrust in health institutions

It’s almost like they never wanted to do anything
“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas & city center in 2021.”
Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death
The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

As the US persistently focuses on itself, it increasingly feels like the rest of the world is moving on assuming a post-US future. #Trump

You don’t say, a survey by Live Nation found this? Any questions about whether Live Nation prices make you flaccid?

No, it means you should undertake a scientifically valid, independent investigation to test your hypothesis and produce rigorous evidence to support your stance.

Pure joy on the Bike Bus this morning!

The racism on #BBAU is pretty confronting

Aiming for a comeback for the 2037 election

Is several more than multiple? Or the reverse?
Good morning to all those people who wasted the last decade saying, "there's no point tackling climate change in the UK, because China."
