Love of beer and bicycles combined with an unhealthy disdain of science, politics, art, engineering, TV, economics, music. Lives in Gothenburg, Sweden. Not sure how.

Many streets in the Netherlands once looked like those in the UK today. What matters is what happened next. Hoogeveen shows this clearly: a car-dominated main road in 2019, upgraded by 2024 with cycle tracks. Dutch roads are continuously improved to make cycling safer & neighbourhoods more pleasant

Sometimes politics isn’t actually all that difficult. It’s just the current generation of Westminster leaders have an amazing gift for making everything seem that way.
It speaks to how broken MPs' media diet is that all parties didn't collectively go "pedophilia bad" at the first possible opportunity here
The least surprising poll finding you'll ever see:

I cannot think of any other area of public policy where you could get away with something so gobsmackingly idiotic.
Truly wild that the Sun, Daily Mail, Daily Express & Daily Telegraph all covered false claims that net-zero will "cost" £7.6bn – or even £9tn – which assumes we could have free gas, free petrol, free petrol cars & free gas power plants if we scrapped net-zero

Labour can extend this beyond X and start going after Reform politicians making money from the site. "Will Farage give back the money he made from this sex offender site?" Etc...

A mum at one of the many kids parties I went to today told me she'd read an article a few years ago and this really stood out to her. It's cos a parent not from Oxford asked me how we managed to have such a brilliant load of local shops (1/3)

Nixon insisted the bombing of Cambodia was just targeting Viet Cong outposts there and not meant to undermine its government, but the bombings destabilized the Lon Nol government and paved the way for the Khmer Rouge’s killing fields and the massacre of more than a million people.
NBC's sources said that "the potential mission in Mexico is not designed to undermine the Mexican government." But that's what it will do if the US is doing CIA drone strikes on Mexican soil over the objections of the president.

Well done to the US for heroically deterring Russia and China from considering regime change abroad by doing it themselves and suffering absolutely no consequences whatsoever up to and including having their allies fall short of actually criticizing them for it.

Apart from everything else, invading a country for oil in 2026 is somewhat like doing so for horses in 1931.
“We can secure access to additional wealth and resources, allowing the country to unlock them without spilling American blood,” said U.S. Defense Secretary (Secretary of War) Pete Hegseth, highlighting the strategic and economic rationale behind the Venezuela operation.
