Jason (the guy behind Not Just Bikes @notjustbikes) started a new Nebula-series, called Day Pass, where he visits one city per episode and takes each rapid transit line of the city's public transport on a single day. While he is at it he also explores the city and important sights, and gives a ton of background info, history knowledge and other trivia. Such a great, entertaining, and relaxing show, really love it! 🥰

Really hope he covers #Vienna soon :)

Fossil fuels push the world towards autocracy. Were we less dependent on them, there might have been no President Trump, no President Putin, no ayatollahs, no Netanyahu, no perpetual Middle East wars. Democracy depends on unhooking ourselves. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

We need to be honest about Iran – and how our rampant greed for oil is causing mayhem

Oil has empowered capitalism, and some of the world’s most exploitative regimes. Move away from it and we can solve some of the key issues we face, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

The Guardian
How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

The Epstein files grant us a rare glimpse into the kind of machinations that must be happening all the time. As @[email protected] reveals, Trump's fixer, Steve Bannon, helped Boris Johnson overthrow Theresa May. Blatant foreign interference in our politics. 🧵 bylinetimes.com/2026/02/16/b...

Bannon, Epstein, Farage and Johnson and the Plot to 'Topple' Theresa May

The far-right former Trump adviser told Jeffrey Epstein that "we are overthrowing May right now" as he worked with Boris Johnson to remove the then Conservative Prime Minister from office

Under Trump the US military has shown contempt for both Scottish law and international law.

The Scottish Government should immediately evict US military operations from Prestwick Airport and halt their access to all other Scottish Government-owned airports. 👇

The latest polling from Norstat suggests that the SNP are set to sweep the constituency ballots, to the point that they won't receive a single list seat.

By contrast, Reform are projected to pick up 21 seats, all through the regional lists. They would also become the main opposition party at Holyrood.

That to me is a clear indicator that it's a waste to give the SNP your list vote in May.
If you want to boost an indy majority and hurt Reform, the best option is a Scottish Green list vote.

Join our calls for the Scottish Parliament to stand up to Trump's aggression. ⤵️

The US military is regularly using publicly-owned Scottish infrastructure to conduct operations, including threats against our neighbours in Greenland.

We urge MSPs of all parties to back our motion to end US military operations and evict Trump's troops.
