That's enough to tell me that you're from NI!

Procrastination is an activity, & it's actually quite tiring. You deserve a rest now!

I love this coastline, & have been walking along it for over six decades, but it still moves like nowhere else.

One of the highlights of my long life was being at the count centre & seeing Paisley lose his seat!

I wish I was. Fabulous band!

Your article missed @allianceparty.bsky.social which is strongly in favour of PR, & has deep experience of how well it can work. Political structures in Northern Ireland are far from perfect, but the introduction of PR has been transformative.

Beautiful!

Day 2 of #30DaysofBiking & the weather is continuing to make it easy & joyful.

I wonder if any of my #ActuallyAutistic friends find cycling as uplifting as I do.

#30DaysofBiking begins!

Openvibe really is everything it claims to be.

What laws are they supposed to have broken?

That's beautiful!

If you like your music dark & interesting, you might enjoy this.

It's a goal of mine to help make this the most famous, well-known and UNDERSTOOD quote about cities in history. Please share it as much as you can. #InducedDemand

History truly repeats itself, when we refuse to learn from it.

Sorry, I didn't spot that you had cleared marked it as being in 2023. Oops!

That looks wonderful! Where is it?

You are here.

Living in Northern Ireland, I've seen what PR can do. We've gone from a totally unfair, dysfunctional political system, which created a deeply-divided society, to one where everyone feels represented & included. It's certainly not perfect, but it's much better than FPTP.

It's possibly the most powerful technique for making the world a better place.

What?! Stalling?! The Department for Inactivity would never do that!

If they do eventually take action, it seems that we're mostly going to get more pointless lanes, in places where few people want to cycle, & it's already easy to do so anyway.

No, I just read the documents.

"An artist using a camera" is my favourite kind of photographer. I love your work.

I'm disappointed, but not at all surprised, that their plans are spectacularly timid, & the new routes are often literally not joined-up. We'll get some more magic paint, for motorists to ignore, so the DfI can tick a box & forget about it. Pathetic!
