Alright. Hello BlueSky! I’m a reporter focusing on environment/science & rural affairs. Working for the BBC in Birmingham. Looking to find some West Mids/Science/Farming people on here. And for downtime any discussion of active travel and cycle lanes. We need a cargo bike emoji.

I just loved the result from sticking a 360 camera in a herd of curious cows. Please let them clense your timeline as they clensed my camera lens 🐮👅💦

One of the things I do not understand about gym culture is how driving to exercise is seen as sensible. Rather than a journey where you could start doing some exercise before getting to the gym.

Did a car write these "how to get here" instructions for a new gym near me?
There are other branches 1.8 and 2.9 miles away too. Way to go on generating more short car journeys,

Directions
We're located on Commercial Road, next to Aldi and Wynsors. And you can park for free in PureGym’s dedicated on-site car park!*

BY CAR Pop SK7 4BE, into your SatNav and navigate towards Commercial Road, where you can park on site for free.

*Parking restrictions may apply. Please check in the car park before you enter the gym. PureGym is not responsible for any parking fines. 

BY BUS The nearest bus stop, Hazel Street, is located just a short 1 minute walk away from the gym.

I want a cheap and cheerful induction charger for my phone to go by the bed as the cable connector is dodgy. But they all appear to light up and flash.. or worse sort of pulse... like a futuristic christmas tree :-/

Slight aside to this topic but I bet that Apple allows apps to warn drivers where speed enforcement is taking place.

Apple removes ICE tracking apps after pressure by Trump administration

The app alerts users to Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in their area. ICE has been a central part of Trump's hardline immigration agenda
