If anyone fancies paying *me* to cover the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup, in any capacity, do get in touch. Otherwise summer in Brazil next year could get really expensive.

Even more reason to respect Kylian Mbappe
Kylian Mbappe has come under mounting criticism from conservative and far-right politicians in Spain and France after the Real Madrid forward declined to fully wear a t-shirt supporting residents of Ceuta, Spain's north African exclave grappling with a migration crisis.

Great reminder that the ongoing and intensifying American affordability crisis cannot be solved without major land-use changes (ending sprawl, accelerating infill development at scale) that enable people to ditch their cars and access cheaper/more sustainable mobility modes
This story buries the lede, but if you pull out a calculator and do the math, AAA found that the average American spends $15,031 a year for a single car!

www.cnbc.com/2026/09/14/c...
Car ownership costs an average of $5,851 a year on top of auto loan payments, analysis finds
The cost of insurance, gas, and maintenance or repairs can add thousands of dollars a year to the price of owning a car.

Anyone who tries an ebike in safe conditions quickly realises it is the best way to get around a city by a country mile.
Councils need to rapidly build cycle infrastructure to safely absorb the demand that is already building.

Sorry no, it’s just really silly to equate the sound of street life: people talking, playing music etc with car noise.

After Mayor Mamdani posted a video showing him wearing a bike helmet, social media exploded. But what are helmets designed to do? Who sets the standards? And what is it about the mere mention of them that causes people to lose their minds?

I went to camp with a kid who was easily a foot taller than the other kids. No matter the sport, everyone wanted him on their team and no one complained about it being unsafe or unfair for him to compete against smaller kids. The whole safety and fairness argument against trans kids in sports is BS.
