Police should crackdown on this. Not just because it’s ridiculous, but how can the driver have any clear view of the road?

The Drink That Americans Won’t Give Up Without a Fight — The Atlantic
Coffee has almost no nutritional value and lots of substitutes. It’s also, apparently, too important to lose.

Breakfast with sunrise on the Acropolis as the 20-year-old scaffolding obscuring the Parthenon was just removed this month. Great (i.e., lucky) timing. There will be new scaffolding erected in a couple of weeks.

Good morning and happy Wednesday to everyone. Ladies, it's fall. It's starting to get darker earlier. Make sure you fill up your gas tank before sunset. Keep an extra charger on you. Check your tires and oil. No bank runs at night. Park in well-lit areas. And stay the fuck away from vagina neck.

All of this is being put out to placate the right wing press...

In the meantime, it's causing fear & confusion. As I understand it:

● this only applies to some people on skilled visas
● it's not "A level English" it's something called SELT
● much the same requirement exists elsewhere in EU

"Together, the messages reveal a culture where racist, antisemitic and violent rhetoric circulate freely — and where the Trump-era loosening of political norms has made such talk feel less taboo among those positioning themselves as the party’s next leaders."

A judge in Hong Kong has insisted on sentencing a 15 year old kid after his 16th birthday. Which means the kids name can be published & he can be sentenced to an adult prison.

Case highlights the criminalization of youth dissent and the weaponization of law under the NSL.
