James Murdoch is a promoter. He is a billionaire's buddy on a Board that is totally captive to Musk's fantasies. That's no way to make money!

I'm having a hard time believing, not that a agency would come up with a plan that was to sweep the broken glass and gravel off of the sidewalks and leave it in the bike lanes for a few days before sweeping it up, just that it wasn't done with intentional malice or disdain toward people on bikes. (months after it snowed and they graveled everything while plowing the snow onto the sidewalks)

An interesting takeaway from the English Local Elections was that candidates supporting Net Zero and stronger environmental policies did better than the pro mass motoring and climate denial/delay candidates.

It is odd that so much of the media don't want to report this, could it possibly have anything to do with the £2bn a year that the motor industry spends on advertising?

WTF with this bureau, wait for the state to give you control over and then do literally nothing to make it safe for a decade. The plan can't be for bike lanes on parallel streets if they don't cross the damn freeway.

Confirmed: Sultan Al-Jaber, head of COP28 but also of ADNOC (Abu Dhabi National Oil Co.) as well as Masdar, a renewable energy company in which ADNOC has a 24% stake, has been using COP28 to secure deals to increase fossil fuel extraction. In addition, COP28 staff have been directed to "always" plug ADNOC and Masdar in summit meetings.

This guy was actively supported and justified by the Biden administration. I wonder if the scandal has anything to do with their decision to keep Biden away from .
