Representation in action! After working as a motorcycle instructor, wrote to my local MP about the currently woeful legislation re. learners & compulsory basic training (CBT) in particular.
It was actually asked in parliament. There is a lot of momentum behind this, hopefully it will get somewhere.

8 is the figure they have in application. We are only dealing with the what they have put in writing. Nothing changed to make 'campaign more intense'
55 trucks a day in and out is also their figure. Only 3% of limestone fit for building, everything else being crushed for aggregates.

8 jobs, at the site, and they say they want to retain existing staff, so even that won't be 8 new jobs.

Issues are that it is not in the middle of the countryside, it is far too near homes & primary school, the main A5 road & surrounding roads cannot take increased volume of HGVs, health issues from dust, there are questions over actual demand for the limestone for building & quality of the stone etc

Limestone, but there will also be a recycling plant onsite for recycling inert building and construction waste and also mention of a ready mix concrete plant. It's less than 300m from a new housing estate. Worries are silica in dust, traffic (110 truck movements a day), noise & wildlife impact.

In my local, rural, community we are fighting against a large quarry being started on what currently are green fields. It would be great if my followers could follow this campaign account on @stopnewquarry.bsky.social and repost some of the posts. Thank you 🙏

Dude says we have to take care of our law enforcement

FUCK YOU!!! YOU ASSHOLE YOU PARDONED OUR ATTACKERS

Not sure if crashing the stock market counts as a "little disturbance."

It was my first foray into what they were.
I can see them being very useful if not used in a malicious manner.
But you are most certainly correct, it’s not worth wondering how you got on a list. Chances are in my case, I don’t want to know this person, so trash takes itself out 🤷🏻‍♀️

Can't beat a bit of the Beastie Boys

Some good stuff. #uprising #hiphop🎶 open.spotify.com/track/6aaPce...

I've stopped looking at lists now as got added to some other weird ones, like people blocking others who follow back etc.
Social media can be a dark rabbit hole at times if you are worried about mental health.
It's best to keep your feet firmly in the real world while dipping into the online world

I stumbled upon this by accident after getting added to a list called “blockenheimer” (?) by someone IDK and it’s kind of a crazy story…
Anyway, I thought this exchange was sweet.

old Soviet joke for our times:

Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to.

Guy says: “looking for an obituary.”

Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.”

Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

If you work at the Washington Post, now is the time to resign. You’re a part of this now.
