A: Who gives a fuck apart from racists?

B: His figure is wrong. 71.2% of Glaswegian children speak English as their first language.

C: So that's 28.8% who speak it as a second and I'll bet you they speak brilliant English and that it's much better than most Reform voters I've met online.

There’s also 0 evidence that Waymos are sufficiently replacing human car trips. The data from Uber and Lyft’s similar rollout suggests that Waymo might actually be replacing transit/walking/biking trips more than *half* the time. That’s a lot of extra cars on the road for minimal returns in safety.

when i'm on the bus on chestnut street and traffic is totally bunged up from taxi pickup and drop-offs and it's faster to walk, that problem isn't alleviated whether the taxis are autonomous or merely unlicensed and app-based

i don't get the love for waymo in certain urbanist circles. it's safer cars, at least it seems that way from available data, but it's more cars. more cars are bad! we should want less cars!

Goodness me - wait times for the complaints line (NCSL) ballooned out to over an hour during this mutual obligations crisis

From Nov 2024 to Sep 2025, 141, 704 calls were abandoned

This is the line people need to call to, for example, get their payments turned back on after a wrongful punishment

Labor wants to ban whistleblowers from anonymous FOI requests, charge you to access your own information, and massively expand what they can hide from you.

Only a government addicted to secrecy looks at FOI & thinks "the problem here is that the public gets too much information"

Labor's stacked committee just recommended passing their FOI destruction bill - despite overwhelming evidence AGAINST it.

Greens, Coalition, Lambie AND Pocock all filed dissenting reports. When everyone else says no, maybe listen?

Nothing says transparency like shutting down all dissenting voices so you can wreck FOI laws

Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.

She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”
