This will always be one of my single most important messages when it comes to actually realizing better cities. Please remember it every single time someone claims there’s a “war on drivers.” There isn’t. There’s just better or worse cities for EVERYONE.

Genuinely I think it's a failure of British journalistic institutional norms being largely anti democratic in nature that Russia and probably other powers have very successfully recognised and exploited to maximum effect by being the ear that will listen and amplify.

Russia as a state is very good and effective at projecting soft power. People prefer to speculate over the black mirror style things like fake news, deep fakes and ai generated content on Twitter but influence comes from much more prosaic sources also.

The nonprofit industrial complex is feminized labor. Instead of government adequately taxing the rich to pay for essential public goods, we have instead this arrangement where charities staffed mostly by poor women have to stroke the egos of rich men to build homeless shelters.

I’m quite used to the cruelty students can face when they apply for a US visa but this one broke me. We offered admission to a stellar, talented & hardworking student. After months of work and hundreds of dollars, an embassy officer saw him for 5 mins & said no. why? …

Explains a fair bit of British political history that Labour can turn the day after one of their biggest ever victories to a period of nervy self-incrimination and the Conservatives can quietly move on from two of their worst ever defeats, and convince everyone it wasn’t too bad.

Honestly I think a big fault in this attitude comes from the general association of disability with Charity and do-gooding. Disabled people and care users shouldn't be dependent on good will and charity. They should have funded support for independent living in their communities.

Even the phrase 'Mickey Mouse degrees' makes no objective sense Mickey Mouse is one of the most successful creations of all time, and represents a corporate monolith that owns about half of all pop culture. Not the obvious go-to representation of 'pointless and unprofitable'

ONE of the reasons I talk *so* openly about my various privileges (male, straight, British, English speaking, able bodied, neurotypical, etc) is to *show* white people how to accept, understand and tackle their white privilege. Please get the memo.

In a country where children are going hungry, soldiers have to use food banks, and the NHS is in crisis, cutting the taxes of those worth more than a million is the wrong priority.

The keep telling us Brexit is done, that we need to move on. But Brexit is not done with US. It wasn’t a disabling event. It’s a degenerative disease, there’s more to come, and I decline to shut up about it. My @ObsFood column a few days early. theguardian.com/food/2023/jul/…

Remembering the first time I knowingly encountered the befuddling thing I would eventually know as MAGA. It was 2008, on Facebook. It was my old college buddy, Stove Minivan. (Names have been changed to mock the guilty.) (Link at the end of the thread to avoid throttling)

Maybe if the story was 'unnamed former PM fails to hand over phone with nothing illegal on it' news organisations might show a little more interest.

The fact that the Home Office has painted over another mural and has detained asylum-seeker children for up to 19 days has absolutely nothing to do with stopping the boats or breaking the trafficking model and *everything* to do with this govt just being a bunch of evil bastards.
