There are very few arguments for restricting micromobility (bikes, ebikes, scooters, etc.) that do not apply equally or moreso to cars: danger, cost, inconvenience to others, inconsiderate behaviour. And arguments against restricting cars (especially accessibility) similarly apply to micromobility.

I was too nervous but my mum politely explained to them that it carries to my flat and is disruptive and asked them to turn it down & were nice about it and they did. 😊
For a few hours. ☹️
It is now back and as loud, if not louder and they are on the balcony loudly slagging me off for being boring.

Whoever came up with the idea of selling subwoofers to people who live in shared accommodation/buildings with shared walls/blocks of flats is one history's greatest unsung villains.

Ultimately most people just conflate comfort while speeding with a skill that conveys safety, and experience any suggestion that speeding is inherently dangerous as an attack on personal accomplishment. And that’s what makes speeding so dangerous

I actually don't particularly want this because I prefer interventions to road layouts to inhibit speed as more robust, harder to "hack", not necessitating any form of tracking, & encouraging road awareness.
But a lot of the people making this argument curiously aren't super into that idea either.

Wes Streeting blaming doctors for the chaos from rising flu cases #C4News
Wes Streeting did not offer covid or flu boosters to everyone who wanted one
Wes Streeting did not care enough to ensure clean indoor air in schools, workplaces, hospitality
Both would have brought down cases significantly

Gonna be going to the girl guiding protest in London to do some live reporting.
Should be interesting to see.
One thing I learnt from my scout leader parents is that guide leaders and scout leaders can organise really bloody well.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

I mean, "tolerating" people only if you can strictly control their routes in and duration of stay, exploit them in (usually) extractive and less-paid jobs (or jobs where they are paid less than the population you designated as 'native'), then ensure you can kick them out when sick/incapacitated ➡️
Good morning, kind reminder that when you endorse supposedly "immigration-friendly" narratives such as "we need immigrants to pick our vegetables/clean our shit/sweep our streets" (incl. the most recent Monbiot's piece) you're contributing to the creation of England's internal labour colony

As someone who has cycled there, I wish I were shocked.
Horrified. Furious. Sad.
But not shocked.
We know how to stop most accidents like this happening. That we don't is a political choice.
I wish the cyclist the quickest, easiest, most painless and fullest recovery possible.

It was a few days ago but I've been thinking about that Boris Johnson article insinuating that people are faking, or at least playing up, disabilities to use wheelchairs in airports. Instead, I think it shows you how many more people would benefit from mobility aids if we removed some barriers. 🧵

Another upside of working from home is that none of your colleagues get to witness it when you finish something complicated, over-exuberantly hit the enter key in triumph, knock over your bottle and spill milkshake on your keyboard.

This is why "mask if you have symptoms" is, I mean, better than not doing that but also not very effective. By the time you've got symptomatic flu, you're probably not going anywhere, masked or otherwise. But you may well have already passed it on. Masking when you feel well protects you and others.
You spread flu before you know you've got it. Like COVID. The idea that common sense applies here and it's as simple as not coughing at people is flat out wrong. You can't think your way around this, it is inevitable (6)

Meanwhile Elder's school has just told me that "having flu or something" isn't a good enough reason to be absent from school.
People will (continue to) die of flu this winter and the NHS will be stretched even further.
You can't stop that on your own but, by preventing transmission and normalising mitigations, you can limit pressure on services and literally save lives.

Things you can do:
Get vaxxed if you can - less effective doesn't mean wholly ineffective!
Wear an FFP2 or FFP3 mask in indoor public spaces & crowds. The more consistent you are, the better you'll be protected but any masking in shops, public transport, etc. reduces your risk & protects others.

I've never had a problem with noise where I live - we're pretty well soundproofed so you don't hear conversations or TV or anything much except the odd bit of DIY - but some prick moved in with a ridiculous sound system and uses it every day and now I've got bass in my bedroom at 1am. 😩
