Suggestion for drivers. Treat cyclists like you would wasps at a cafe. Keep your distance, watch carefully and wait til they go away. Otherwise they might sting you.

One way rural communities in antiquity managed inequality was through communal building projects. Here's one from a century ago in Northumberland.

A stone inlaid to a wall outside a green corrugated village hall, with a carved inscription which says, "Capheaton Institute erected by public subscription in the year 1921". We can see the entrance in a porch with a sign that reads "Shut".

Here's what AI says about scapegoating.

Screenshot. Scapegoating is a psychological defense mechanism where a specific member of a group is unfairly blamed for the group's problems. It is an unconscious need to locate all its faults in one person.

Screenshot. Scapegoating deflects from the group having to face uncomfortable truths. It is targeted on someone different. It provides a temporary sense of safety, relief and unity. Groups wrongly believe if the scapegoat is forced to leave the group's issues will vanish.

An exciting read. Published in 1939 (!), it's a story of a man who decides to assassinate an unnamed European dictator (couhitlergh). Now, imagine if he'd actually done it rather than just written about it...

Front cover of the first edition of the adventure novel, Rogue Male by Geoffrey Household.

Privatisation of the streets in the US happened and few noticed

PETER NORTON

The Mismeasure of the American Street

The urban ground floor of the typical American city is comparatively privatized, exclusive, and unconducive to diverse local purposes. Proponents of more versatile and inviting urban environments are likely to hear that their proposals face insuperable cultural obstacles. In fact, these obstacles themselves began as contested, heterodox, and farfetched innovations. In the twentieth century, the typical American city street was radically transformed. Novel standards, initially controversial, legitimized and ostensibly necessitated the changes. The new measures were prescriptive, mandating vehicular storage, speed, and throughput over other important urban functions. Valuable street uses that were inconsistent with these criteria were either redefined as nuisances or, more often, omitted from calculations entirely, thereby mismeasuring their value at zero. The effects included privatization of public space and public services, the erosion of proximity and its practical benefits, the neglect of local needs in favour of regional demands, burdensome expenses for those seeking to retain practical mobility, and mobility impairment for the rest. More inclusive measures remain marginalized as heterodox 'alternatives', and are therefore often thwarted. Their ultimate success will require demystifying the predominant standards by revealing their contested origins as the original heterodox and farfetched alternatives. Inclusive histories of the authoritative measures of the American street reveal them to be unscientific mismeasures, historically anomalous and therefore unworthy of the authority they still hold.

Apologies there's a lot of text and I'm having trouble copying it. Here's the link to the original document which is quite short.

JOINT STATEMENT

Statement by Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.

As members of NATO, we are committed to strengthening Arctic security as a shared transatlantic interest. The pre- coordinated Danish exercise "Arctic Endurance" conducted with Allies, responds to this necessity. It poses no threat to anyone.

We stand in full solidarity with the Kingdom of Denmark and the people of Greenland. Building on the process begun last week, we stand ready to engage in a dialogue based on the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity that we stand firmly behind.

Tariff threats undermine transatlantic relations and risk a dangerous downward spiral. We will continue to stand united and coordinated in our response. We are committed to upholding our sovereignty.

And this is the site of Pennymuir roman fort. Some of the ramparts are preserved and the animals have done some archaeology! See the stratigraphy 😅

A view of a tussocky field with an information board explaining it is the site of a temporary Roman fort now called Pennymuir.
