Important information for any pescatarians out there.
I’m sorry, what?! “Salmon are carnivores and eat other fish in the wild, so feeding them chicken is entirely natural,” said an executive at a major salmon-feed producer.” Feeding them humans would be just as “natural” BTW. www.ft.com/content/8f1e...
This reminds me of the origin of the phrase 'Getting Steamin'. www.historic-uk.com/CultureUK/St...

As a 6 foot 7 chap, I tend to avoid initiating conversations about height. There's plenty of other things I'd prefer to talk about. But thanks for noticing, yes, I'm tall thanks. How are you doing today?
As a 6 foot 5 male, I love telling guys who are insecure about their height that I'm only 6 foot then watching them get genuinely angry and telling me that I'm way taller than that. It's hilarious how many guys are so insecure about their height.
The problem here has nothing to do with solar power. The problem is dedicating huge urban areas to car parking. Resulting in urban sprawl, more roads, fewer homes, car dependant suburbs. 'Better' car parks aren't going to solve the problems caused by creating car first towns and cities

Hi @emilykerr36.bsky.social is this anything you can help with please? This is the new, purpose build cycle track / NCN5 at Sanford Lane, towards Oxford. A new, unnecessary, sign has been put up stating that you shouldn't cycle on it. Are you in a position to help to remove this sign?

It's a point I've been trying to make for a long time: there is no good way to meet even 10% of current demand for animal products. They trash the living world, whichever way you do it. If you want to reduce your impact, switch to a plant-based diet. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Given their aims 'Open Roads' has always been an oxymoron. Their vision of an open road was always more akin to the second picture. Open to, and dominated by cars. Imagine spending you time, and personal fortune campaigning for a car first Oxford!
Anti-congestion charge organisation, Open Roads For Oxford Limited, is winding itself up – but with outstanding legal costs of £14,000 still to cover. Earlier this year, the company failed in its attempt to secure a judicial review into the charge. openroadsforoxford.org/campaign-upd...

I was perhaps unreasonably, delighted to have come across the 'Except Cycles' sign. However, these signs must be in short supply as the 'Except Cycles' addition was only to be found at one end 😎 @nathanley.com
"If you say “I support Palestine Action”, they might put you in jail. If you incite a racist riot, they put you on TV." Or, they'll invite you to speak in the Oxford Union.
Both the government and the Court of Appeal now treat protesters as terrorists and terrorists as protesters. It's hard to accept that a "Labour" government is imposing rightwing authoritarianism on the UK, but please read this column to see what's happening.+🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Supreme Court has granted Tower Hamlets Council permission to appeal the ruling that removing Bethnal Green's LTNs was unlawful. We are disappointed, but undeterred. We won at the Court of Appeal and we'll fight this too, but we need your support. www.crowdjustice.com/case/defendi...

Politicians and media attacking @zackpolanski.bsky.social over antisemitism lack any decency. So says Rabbi Herschel Gluck - who was given an OBE for advancing interfaith understanding.

Long-term exposure to the Daily Mail 'changes brain structure, leaving readers at significant risk of radicalization, demotivated and unable to deal with the reality'

It's not about the flags, Matthew. This is about a small group of thugs who are traveling around the country in their cherry picker, looking for trouble. They live streamed themselves and took delight at being abusive to anyone who engaged with them.
Well it’s a bit tricky we don’t have lamp posts. I understand lots of people don’t like seeing the flags and I can have sympathy with that. It just doesn’t make it an offence for the police to deal with.

Hi Joanna, I just read your piece on these protests. I was interested to see the pictures of the farmer with the black 'Together' placard. This bunch have a history of co-opting populist causes. Lockdown, 15 minute cities etc. This rentamob have a history in Oxford www.desmog.com/2024/05/24/t...
