Since 1898, cars have been banned on Michigan's Mackinac Island. Locals still get around by bike, foot and horse drawn carriage, even the fire trucks are electric or animal powered.

Funny how when people are skint it’s always “let’s reduce tax on fuel” rather than “let’s reduce bus and train fares.”
Petrol and diesel prices are higher than they've been for a long time and people need help now.

This is evil collective punishment.
Cuba's minister of energy confirmed reserves are gone — with just enough diesel left to keep hospitals online. The UN has classified Washington's blockade a humanitarian crisis.

With the price of fuel going up by the week, change lanes to avoid the impact. Bus tickets are capped at £20 a week. Walking and cycling short trips is free.
Fewer short car trips also means less congestion, more reliable public transport, safer and better roads, cleaner air, and healthier people.

Social media is no longer social. Most of it is passive viewing of videos and pictures from people we've never met.
But we're still studying social media like it's 2010.
We've entered the post-social media era — and research needs to catch up.

The rebranded Evening Standard, now weekly, is a pale imitation of the former paper. Main story about two nepo babies. Barely any news about London. Content taken from social media. More like a Sunday magazine than a newspaper. Everyone involved should be thoroughly ashamed.
