If you are still using Xitter in any way, please stop. I know it's tempting to think that it's worth hanging on for something, but it's not. Stop reading, stop posting, stop visiting. Anything else is giving legitimacy to this kind of behaviour.
Elon Musk, owner of X, tweeted that Home Office Minister Jess Phillips "deserves to be in prison" and labelled her a "rape genocide apologist"

This is the type of radicalised content that socialises people towards violence against Ministers and MPs

Starmer urged to take action as 'out of control' Musk targets Jess Phillips
Days after calling for X posts to be "more positive", Musk has dubbed Jess Phillips a "rape genocide apologist".

The CURRENT sitting MP for Clacton earns £511,000 as a presenter for GB News and took £281,000 as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion.

So maybe sit this one out, you rancid herring.

Just notice that @cycle.travel has a night time mode as well as paved only.
Not seen these before on a route planner and they're very nice to see.

Elon Musk is once again inciting violence on British streets because the government has taught him there are literally no consequences for doing so.

They even carry on using his far-right social network to promote government policy as he does it. The absence of backbone is *astounding*.

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

When was the last time you had to change the fuse in a plug? Just realised I don't think I've done it in about 20 years. I do know where my stash of fuses is, and it's in the loft, not easily accessible. Maybe modern circuit breakers mean the supply is cut off before a fuse could ever blow?

The fact that people are allowed to store their cars in the street is really weird - after all, a car is an individual's own private property and their responsibility. I can't think of a single other item you can store in public in this way.
