Seriously? I'm almost impressed with how they're managing to help richer people out, encourage unnecessary consumerism and hurt the environment in so many ways that the average person can not understand or keep up with

I could only watch 25 minutes (so far) of the doctors in Gaza documentary the BBC refused to show, because I cried at least three times. The multiple children being carried to try to get help with serious looking injuries. The solar panels being destroyed which meant premature children died. The blood soaked floor around the ambulance. The absolute pain of the doctor talking about when a nurse brought in his daughter who was killed. The people watching the bombing of Gaza through those fucking telescope things you get at the beach or from tall buildings like it's a tourist attraction. The guys being stripped naked, blindfolded and led about in a stadium.

An artist said a few words at a concert that is crazily expensive to go to, which doesn't even meet the threshold of hate speech (in my view).

Where should we focus our attention and outrage I wonder?!?

Yes please. At this point, we need local councils to lead this as it's just impossible at a parent or school level. We need the infrastructure changes too as I can't see us getting there without it. It takes just one car driver to enforce their right of way on a road if it's just open

I really resonate with this article as a parent and really want to give more independence but I think car brain really does get in the way. We cycle to school and people have bigger cars on smaller roads, don't give enough space, park dangerously and just don't seem to care about cyclists or pedestrians. Even cycling home today by myself I almost got knocked off so how can I let my child face that by themselves? It's a vicious circle them that more people drive and the problem gets worse. Even going to the local park we have to cross or cycle on roads at some point. Most of the other parents drive, even if living really close. I've also had parents "telling me off" or commenting for letting him cycle on the road in front of me. Feel like I can't win.

Half a battered sausage, half cod (both shared with the other half) and chips covered in salt and their homemade onion vinegar

We're very aware in the UK but it's not too easy. We have some the oldest housing stock in the world. We don't have central air with no real way to retrofit so it would have to be one room at a time. Our windows aren't designed to house those units I see in NY. We have to rely on very inefficient portable units so I only use it on the really hot days. Energy prices are still high after Russia's invasion. People are adding proper units when extending but only the rich can really afford that.

This is why I happily pay for channel 4 plus, even though I don't use their app for viewing all that much

Gaming and wanking

Wait, the police are going after a royal, I thought that was impossible?!? (speaking from the UK where we clearly have a rapist and paedophile...)

Very good idea. I could skip the tank and have a sign saying "This e-bike battery may explode on contact. Hit me and we'll find out together"

This is exactly my experience when taking my child to school on the bike. I've literally seen every issue and had people saying we shouldn't be on the road from their unnecessarily massive car, with one kid in, parking on the no parking areas and hitting 40 on the school street beforehand where we have roughly 900 children at the primary school (ages 4 to 11), so not like they should be careful or anything with their killing machines...

Around me, any places with activities (golf, bowling, climbing, laser quest, gyms, trampoline parks, theme parks, etc), especially if they have a cafe. If they host children's birthdays, it's all done by teenagers it seems.

Fast food places don't seem to have teenagers like they used to, it's mostly older immigrants so guessing they'll work harder for less money.
