The Aero-X is a hoverbike capable of flying up to 3m off the ground at 60km/h. The concept has been in development for some years (the second piece of footage above is of an earlier 2012 prototype) but developer/manufacturer Aerofex plans to release a more streamlined design sometime in 2017 for around $85,000.
Naturally, you can pre-order.

Coinciding with the release of Ken Loach’s Jimmy’s Hall (2014).
Relive the 1930s without catching TB.
“Who knows what class of devilment the capitol’s citizens will get up if the sun comes out, with hip swivelling music and decadent improvising from the country’s finest jazz musicians, and the trading of oysters and porter to boot?”
Great poster, in fairness.

“Labour leaders didn’t just embrace the austerity programme but gathered it to their bosoms, basked in the praise of right- wing commentators and Eurocrats and then boasted of their own courage in abandoning both the programme they had been elected on and the general interests of their natural supporters. Their mantra was: we have shown we are willing to take the hard decisions. In fact, they took the easy option at every turn…”
“…Economic and consequent social change underpins social democracy’s decline. Growth allows for reform and rising living standards without doing damage to the system, which is what social democracy exists to deliver. But when the system slows and seizes up, social democratic parties are incapable of winning reforms to benefit those in the bottom half of society.
They are then faced with a choice: either forget about government and challenge the system at a fundamental level, or betray those who have supported you in order to shore the system up. Gilmore, Pat Rabbitte, Joan Burton and the rest made their choice and may never be forgiven.”
