ULEZ discussion.
Firstly, I sometimes feel that anyone who questions electric vehicles or things such as ULEZ zones is labelled as climate denier or even worse as a Tory. Neither of these things are true.
Edinburgh ULEz is my closest zone. I can see the befit for pedestrians from better air quality but wonder if there are better ways to produce the same outcome. My main concern is that ULEZ seems to punish people with older vehicles. Many do not have the money to purchase something newer 1/2

Steve Albini dead from a heart attack at 61. Too soon.

I still have a visceral memory of Steve at a Big Black gig at (I think) Leeds Poly (UK). Dressed in black Levi's 501s and a white T-shirt -- super bright under the stage lights -- which became splattered with vivid red blood after he cut a finger on a guitar string.

Somehow it seemed to go with the music.

What is first thing you want to change after Scotland's Independence Day? I don't mean the change Labour go on about which seems to mean carrying on with the Tory project. No I mean real change relevant for the Scottish people which we can't do as a small part of Westminster.

A recent post on Twitter by Govanhill Go! reminded me of the concept of desire lines. These are unofficial paths, like the one on the right in this photo, worn into the landscape by people who would rather use them than the official routes (like the one on the left). They're generally short-cuts and often indicate a failure by urban planners to properly understand and account for people's desires as they move through their environment.

Who's got good resources on using ChatGPT for my mate who wants to learn how to use it for her (non-tech) professional life. Eg, not breathless grifting stuff, doom predictions or in-depth "how it works" stuff, just how to write good prompts etc?
