To anyone who does not live in Paris but visits the city at regular intervals (as I do), the transformation has been staggering: Paris has been reclaimed from cars. It can be done, and could be done in London too. It is all about political will and taking the risk of being unpopular - for a while.

“Paris has embarked on a grand transformation, planting 155k trees, adding hundreds of kms of bike lanes, pedestrianising 300 school streets and banning cars from the banks of the Seine. Parking has been turned into green space…Fewer parents fear their child being run over when they walk to school.”

The truly wonderful thing about being an ADHD parent of an ADHD 6-year old is when you lose your tape measure, it’s equally likely one of you took it, and equally unlikely that person will remember where they’ve left it.

Please stop paying for anything Harry Potter. This is where your money is going. At this point, you're not an ally, you're an abuser and we're your victim.

JK Rowling says the lawsuits will keep coming - to prevent trans women from using the right restroom.

One of most heartbreaking things about Hank Green turning to LLMs is that he gets to do science communication full-time to a massive audience and is well-resourced. He doesn't need to cut corners or outsource his thinking. Meanwhile, there are so many people doing amazing work with zero resources.

It's time again! Cis allies: if you can, please consider being chaff for us. Toilet hobbycops think like 10% of people are trans, and to overturn our segregation we need respectable cis people causing trouble on our behalf. Please wear a trans flag pin. Get in good trouble, as John Lewis put it.

THE CHAFF PROJECT Hi! Are you cis in the UK and you'd like to support trans rights? Great! How: buy a trans flag pin and wear it in public. Why: chaff is an overwhelming amount of false positives so that when a missile gets close to the plane, it hits the chaff and not the plane.

A very simple diagram showing radar, a chaff cloud, a confused missile and an airplane. The confused missile is aiking for the chaff cloud and not the airplane.

unfortunately I could not stop myself from buying the Arnold-as-Hamlet action figure. realized on closer inspection that Schwarzenegger is basically wearing Laurence Olivier's Hamlet costume except they ripped the sleeves off his doublet. and you can launch Yorick's skull from Arnie's palm!

Last Action Hero action figure, still in package, with a cartoon image of Arnie and Danny on the box. the figure itself is dressed up like Laurence Olivier's Hamlet except that the sleeves have been ripped off his doublet (black with gold accents, a purple mantle, linked gold epaulets) to expose his enormous biceps. he comes with a sword and dagger, a belt with grenades, and Yorick's skull
