@bloomsburykid @modacitylife Then you're missing out. No different to walking side by side with someone.

@modacitylife I tend to catch up with friends in cafes, restaurants, pubs, the cinema, football matches etc, which seem more suitable than when riding a bike, where concentrating on other 'road users' and pedestrians seems more appropriate behaviour.

Cycling side-by-side isn’t bad behaviour. It’s human behaviour. It’s how parents talk to kids. How friends catch up. How communities form. If our bike lanes are too narrow for people to ride and talk together, the problem isn’t the people. It’s the lanes. Nørrebro, Copenhagen.

@varrock @danzu72 Look up soft power

I worked for USAID when It was closed, these guys literally were firing senior Foreign Service Officers with 30 years of experience on the spot. These kids were drunk on power and a reckoning is coming. I will always be hot about this shit. I know for a fact we allowed children to die because of these snotty shits.

@on_lothianbuses Can I get a response to this please? Why don't they use the tannoy that's right there and fit for purpose?

@on_lothianbuses Right, coz he yelled from the drivers seat to the whole bus about a diversion that isn't listed on that page. Water works by South Bridge. I would really recommend they use the tannoy.

@on_lothianbuses Should drivers use the tannoy to announce diversions?

@derichturner @TheTNHoller God should probably miracle up zero guns.

@TheTNHoller it is so telling that the change began after we took prayer out of schools in 1962...exactly 10 years after, we took the number 1 spot. its not the guns, its the hearts

We are failing our kids

@TheReal_Ikrani @horror4kids Have a read of Alan Moore's Swamp Thing run. Similar themes.

@horror4kids Kinda felt weird, seeing him like this. Clayface in previous appearances had always come off like a shapeshifting human. Here, though, he seems more like The Thing, a shapeshifting imitation of a human.

Batman: The Animated Series has an episode called ‘Growing Pains’ where Robin keeps trying to help this girl named Annie escape from Clayface. Then you find out she’s actually a part of Clayface that split off and became her own person. The ending really stuck with me because in order to save Robin she sacrifices herself and is violently absorbed by Clayface right in front of him!

@BaileyDugle88 @ScarredForLife2 What the. Really!

@ScarredForLife2 Zelda's voice also being Commander Makara is wild

TERRAHAWKS (1983): Gerry Anderson's 80s puppet show was bonkers at the best of times, but the episode where Zelda's daughter, Cy-Star, 'gives birth' to the hermaphrodite It-Star, is next level.

@Dlus @dieworkwear Alpacas.

@dieworkwear Can you recommend any good knitwear producers for tall people?

Some things I saw recently that I think are cool: — New Scottish knitwear at Junior's in Philadelphia — Christian Kimber belts and desert boots (nicer leather than Clarks) — Jacques Marie Mage Kurokawa eyewear and Fox Bros Clifton tweed — This outfit at Frances May in Portland

@AlanBra86520411 @JohnCarline3 @carlafrancome Do a lot of people drive to the shops?

@JohnCarline3 @carlafrancome Agree

Ermygadddd, I’m here on Oxford Street as it’s traffic free! What a total buzz 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 All we can hear is people chatting and laughing, and not ONE engine. It’s delicious. And of course people are here in huge numbers. … 1/9

@edinjoiner @LivingStreetsEd @rsmcksg @davidfkey @SpokesLothian @EdinReporter @EdinburghMinute To prioritise pedestrians, as per council policy.

@LivingStreetsEd @rsmcksg @davidfkey @SpokesLothian @EdinReporter @EdinburghMinute Why should they work ‘on demand’?

The green man phase on the Western Approach Road pedestrian/cycle crossings should operate instantly ‘on demand’: they don’t. We’ve reported to Edinburgh_CC and are waiting for a response.

@queerthecloset @GraphCrimes Radiating heat into a vacuum is really inefficient.

@GraphCrimes Couldn’t you just stick the data center in an orbit such that it stays in the earths shadow? Space being absolute zero means you’d run into to problem of keeping it warm no?

I don't blame people for not understanding how difficult it is to get rid of heat and space, but a guy like Altman should really know better

@edinhelp The paving by bus stop PH on Princes Street is awful. I saw a woman fully fall over, and not five minutes later saw another bad trip.

@LaurenceHarker @CommodoreBlog I have a small scar on the web of my hand from that one.

Let's play a game.. drop your favourite joystick in the comments. Are you ready? GO!🕹

@mattybeard Really just here for bus disruption updates and trolls.

@joermurphy You’re still here. Can’t be that bad.

So has X sorted itself out yet?

@pootcargo @AH_AdamHughes @jpalmiotti For you?

@AH_AdamHughes @jpalmiotti Is it a weird fetish thing?

From a Vampirella issue we did many years ago that the editor was not pleased with. Amanda Conner and Paul Mounts on art.

@ffootballXchamp @EdisonCarterN23 @HolaArizona Rent one for the rare occasions when you need to cross desert or tundra or mountains.

@EdisonCarterN23 @HolaArizona So if I get that I need 2 cars. Why would I do that?

The American mind can’t comprehend that 80% of car trips could be taken in a car like this.

@PidginPosting @kfullermusic I knew I should have gone into construction.

@kfullermusic Bloody hell.

Just one more lane bro. I don't care how many billions it will cost and the fact that we have to bulldoze places. Just one more lane bro. thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/528018…

@stevengraham23 @thefilmspoint You might like this, then: youtube.com/watch?v=eiZd89…

@thefilmspoint There's one in '60s Dr Who (The Daleks Master Plan) which works astoundingly well. Two men stand in the desert and look at the sun, and we cut to a shot of the blazing sun - and then the camera re-focuses to show that it's actually a refection gleaming on a Dalek's dome.

Best transition ever filmed?
