No jail sentence. No driving ban. Free to continue driving around Edinburgh after assaulting a cyclist, leaving them with a traumatic brain injury, a smashed skull and a bleed on the brain. news.stv.tv/east-central...

This was the Greenbank to Meadows Quiet Route this morning. At least the drivers aren’t speeding and ignoring the Give Way road markings when they’re at a standstill.

According to international law people living under occupation have the right to resist their occupiers (& that includes armed resistance). If Britain was under brutal occupation would we be condemning attacks on occupying soldiers or supporting those fighting back?

Burnham’s government is telling people to stockpile food & water in case of a climate crisis/“technological dependency” while contributing to that climate crisis with Jackdaw & embedding *Palantir* into government systems. Labour is literally saying “protect yourselves from our bad decisions.” 1/2

Here's a photo of a helicopter landed on Joanne's 227 foot support yacht that follows around her 290 foot main yacht

literally this comic except he apparently lives in Czechia instead of Nebraska

"Cyber correspondent Joe Tidy says he didn't know PHP existed until yesterday morning"

I think the thing about AI and small business owners is that previously the design would have to be run past either a second person who know some amount of design, or they'd learn photoshop and some amount of design with it now they can ask the AI to do their bad design and the AI never says no

This video camera study showed that less than 5% of people on bikes broke traffic laws while riding bikes, yet 66% of people did so while driving. And perhaps even more importantly, if you REALLY want even MORE bike-riders to obey laws, build more protected bike infrastructure. Via @carltonreid.com

Ah yes the real victims of the genocide, white people who saw badges

Danny Tommo's 'patriot platform' vigilantes were refused service in The George Inn, Portsmouth. They demanded to know why, despite the fact they do not have to be given a reason. Always make bigots feel unwelcome. Show the pub some love for doing the right thing. Things you love to see ✊❤️

Planters and bollards going in at Tarvit Street! I thought I would never see the day etc #EdTravCyc

Lol 😆

this is an insane way to frame this attempted murder. i hope that chud rots

Video games has decided to discontinue its once leading product, the video game

The Energy Secretary says North Sea drilling “won’t take a penny off energy bills.” The Health Secretary says summer heatwaves put pressure on the NHS. So where’s the Government’s impact assessment? If they don’t have one, they should delay the decision on drilling for oil & gas until they do.

They DM'd us this 2 minutes before publishing their official statement

Disgusting.

BREAKING WSJ: Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of the military-grade version of Starlink that Ukraine relied on.

Labour can't be trusted with our future.

Incredible timing too I guess the UN must be part of those "climate campaigners"

Classic fuck around, find out scenario on the guardian front page. On the day the labour govt approves more fossil fuel extraction, the UN warns that the world needs to cut emissions by 18% in just 4 years.

Where’s Aberdeen? Just put it near the top.

Amazed to read about a completely autonomous crash (via @edinburghminute.com) in which seemingly no humans were involved… @policescotland.bsky.social any chance your standards of reporting collisions could reintroduce some human interaction? Pretty sure there was a driver and a rider, at a minimum.

On going ahead with Jackdaw: Sally Nugent: "For people who are going to be struggling to pay their energy bills this winter, what difference will this make?" Energy secretary: "its really important to be clear that this project does not have an impact on affordability & bills"

Labour's approval of the Jackdaw gas field won't cut household energy bills or improve energy security. We need investment in cheap, green renewables to create jobs and cut our bills.

Approving the Jackdaw gas field solves none of our problems, while contributing to the existential crisis of climate breakdown. The government has privileged special interests above the general interest. It's a shameful, cowardly decision.

The UK Government has been accused of 'climate vandalism' and committing a 'devastating betrayal of our children’s future' by approving the Jackdaw gas field, the Scottish Greens have said

Alistair Carmichael MP on the wireless just now to say we need to grant Jackdaw to “keep the lights on”. There is no scenario in which Jackdaw affects a single light being on the UK.

Fuck Burnham. Fuck Labour. This is indefensible. The climate crisis is existential. If you're still ommthr Labour party or a labour voter you're a psychopath. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw...

Awful news to wake up to today. New oil and gas fields won't bring down our bills and won't create secure jobs, and will only cause untold damage to our climate. We need a Just Transition now, and governments brave enough to end our reliance on fossil fuels

We were too spineless to regulate these billionaire freaks, so now one of them gets to decide whether Ukrainian drones can catch the missiles aimed at Ukrainian kids. We have failed spectacularly.

🚨 BREAKING: The UK Labour Government have approved the Jackdaw gas field. This a devastating betrayal of future generations. Jackdaw will make the UK even more dependent on the global gas market. This will do nothing to lower household energy bills and it is dishonest to pretend that it will.

Labour’s climate credentials are now in shreds. Families across the country are struggling to afford the rising costs of heating their homes. Let's demand better. Join the Scottish Greens. greens.scot/join

UN has today confirmed 1.5°c climate target now officially dead in the rapidly warming water. And what did we just announce today?🤔
