Exxon are closing Mossmorran petrochemicals plant in Fife leading to over 400 direct job losses. Reportedly, some workers found out their cards were terminated this morning as they reported for shifts. Scotland‘s unjust transition continues at the behest of multinationals and failing governments.

Spielberg and Bill Butler turned fear into art 🎥
Jaws (1975) redefined cinematography with its haunting underwater shots, masterful use of perspective, and tension built through what isn’t shown. Proof that sometimes, the scariest monster is just below the surface.

How do you know your city is a healthy habitat for people? A decent place to start is whether children can play freely in their neighbourhoods and get around independently.
This is an excellent introduction to Tim’s work and the benefits of shifting away from car centric urban spaces.

New episode up! We talked with researcher Tim Gill about how we need to make our cities safe for children, not cars. "Children are basically living very captive and kind of contained lives, and that's just not healthy."
