Dunno about you, but I have never empathised with an animal as much as I am empathising with the raccoon in this photograph.
"The Hanover county animal protection and shelter confirmed the raccoon was drunk and said it had since become sober."

Importantly, will this drive up the value of my house?
The return of office workers and the lack of development are now set to squeeze the City’s available space. Companies looking for hundreds of thousands of square feet in the coming years include BlackRock, Macquarie, Jane Street, PwC, S&P Global, Amazon Web Services and Bank of America.

It’s a tiny thing, but I’m glad this has happened. Feels like a gentle sticking up of a finger to the people who felt that our great city wasn’t worthy of being trusted with its own governance.

This is why military service members should refuse to follow illegal orders. Because when the shit hits the fan, Trunp and Hegseth will deny everything and blame you. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
Reporter: Does the administration deny that that second strike happened or did it happen and the administration denies that Hegseth gave the order 

Leavitt: The latter is true

The news that Zipcar is folding at the end of the year is deeply dismaying. The car club availability was at the heart of our decision to abandon car ownership around five years ago. Do share your reccs for other car club services (covering south London).

Croydon council uses Zipcar instead of having their own fleet, fortunately the borough has plenty of spare cash to buy a load of cars at short notice.

Well that’s shitty. Don’t use it much but when I do need it, I DO need it. People may decide to hang onto their car a little longer now. Arse….
Nooooooo!
Welp, there (probably) goes another pretty useful way to avoid car ownership in the city. For the brief time that Zipcar actually covered my part of London, it was really useful.

In the 9 months since the election, AfD has become Germany's most popular party. This massive surge is a political earthquake for Europe. Will a Germany with AfD in power defend the Baltics or Poland if Russia attacks? Will it take Germany out of the Euro?
