To carry 50,000 people per hour in each direction, a city needs a 175m wide road for cars. Even if those cars are electric. And then there’s all the parking. OR a city can move A LOT MORE people in a lot less space, with A LOT LESS public money, emissions, pollution, noise etc. Choices. Simple.
I think one reason data center outrage is so pronounced is people spent decades recycling and composting and otherwise scrimping to offset energy use and protect clean water, and the second we hit an inflection point for cheap electricity the banking industry said we’re taking all of it, fuck you
I respect France's commitment to not working on a holiday.
for the england match it's time for irish people to grow up a little and get over the performative hatred of an old enemy it's ancient history at this stage, we're kinda related to a bunch of them too so the posturing that so we're different is a bit crass let's put the viking raids behind us 💙🇳🇴❤️
Ik hoop dat België vannacht met 50-0 wint van de usa. #FuckTrump #FuckInfantino
My thoughts and prayers go out to all those brave warriors having to work with children, today of all days, the 6th of July We can only be grateful this day comes once a year, unlike the monthly occurrence for those who had to fight during the time of "21"
I think we would be better off with clean water and affordable electricity than a Google that scans information and summarizes for us.
And don't forget: we don't have to help Bezos get richer. A lot of products on the Amazon site can be purchased directly from the vendor on their own website.
Imagine staying up just to find out the Tories won their first by-election in Scotland since the 1900s...🤡
This 'Anyone But England' mentality is petty and reflects badly on us as a nation, and it's about time we molim vas, zanemarite početak ove poruke i podržite naše herojske Hrvate protiv Engleza
I think the main thing about independence is that unionists have to convince Scots to stay, rather than nats convincing Brits to leave Most unionists I know would identify mainly as Scottish, not British, and I think that's why it's easier for the scales to tip in the favour of freedom
The lesson I'm taking away here is that you need a manifesto promise to do good things, but you can do bad things on a whim, including ditching manifesto promises. It's also impossible to know why people are mad at the government.
"Earlier today the Prime Minister spent 17 minutes with Wes Streeting" The poor bastard. I feel a lot more sympathy for Starmer now.
Catherine West: get in, loser, we're bringing down another Prime Minister
*record scratch / freeze frame* "yeah that's me, Catherine West, you may be wondering how I ended up in this situation"
Starmer appoints Labour veteran the ghost of Harold Wilson as adviser after election losses.

Ballot Box Scotland@ballotbox.scot · 3mo agoNot to sour the day but if Scotland goes to sleep tonight and we are missing what should be publicly declared election data at constituency level that will be very, very, very poor from our Councils. I appreciate they have worked hard today, but adding a couple more PDFs shouldn't be hard.
For context, Independent Green Voice received 0.87% of the vote in Mid Scotland and Fife; 0.3% of which would have put the Greens ahead of the Conservatives. Unlike 2021 this should only be one miss as a result rather than possibly two, but democratically concerning.
Absolutely gutted for the brilliant Mags Hall, who missed out by 0.1%, with IGV taking 0.9%. Meanwhile in Argyll and Bute, *voting staff* mixed up the IGV and SGP *during the count*. Very, very big questions for the Electoral Commission.
Ballot Box Scotland@ballotbox.scot · 3mo agoI believe the Real Greens have just been IGV'd out of a second seat in Mid Scotland and Fife. Huge questions for Electoral Commission to answer after two elections of this.
this is a scandal, the new Scottish Government should be asking questions about this as a day 1 issue

I hate how the establishment are trying to paint the Greens as just "left-wing" Reform If taxing wealth, saving our planet, and expanding public transport are the radical left, then call me an extremist! 💚💚💚
