Thank you for doing what you do! 🙏🏻

Some kid in Hyderabad ran his cash-for-clicks ragebait bots across a couple of GPUs too many and it began to manifest in physical reality?

Sounds about right tbh.

Yep, road-going equivalent of a stripy jersey and a big brown sack with SWAG written on it.

It may be that the cops and justice system are overloaded to a point where proactively enforcing the law is way down their list; keeping the peace is the priority, even if some blatant crime goes unpunished.

Kinda more Hate Island, no?

This would mean the sort of truth and reconciliation around our nation's heritage that sets the Restore Trust lot frothing.

We were doing the Enlightenment at the exact same time we were doing slavery.

Pitch it at the next Green conference. They're already liberal on drugs, but chemical synthesis labs cause dreadful pollution, and plant-derived psychoactives come with large carbon footprints. This is the cleaner and more sustainable way.

They're unable to reduce immigration to a level that such people would be happy with, and they're too cowardly to grasp the nettle and explain why said people are, essentially, wrong.

So instead they do racism - and, perhaps worse, unconvincingly so - in a vain attempt to placate them.

Subsidising bankers to buy £10k Pinarellos: outrage from the dour ranks of Blue Labour and their pals at the Express.

Subsidising bankers to buy £100k Teslas: move along, nothing to see here.

Regarding 2.2 (encouraging one or other parent to stay home and raise kids) - on the one hand, it doesn't necessarily have to be women - stay-at-home dads are a thing - but either way, in the short/medium term it reduces the workforce further, which is, through this lens at least, counterproductive.

Yes, but according to that cretin, accidents are all pedestrians' and cyclists' fault, and they deserve it. A deeply nasty piece of work, he is.

Cars, cars and more cars. The guy's a petrolhead moron who campaigns against 20mph zones and school streets.

1970s milk, Alsace wine, or the HJ Heinz monument at Cape Cornwall.

"give us back are roundabout, we can't paint are flag on a traffic lights."

I mean, people could always move somewhere else with cheaper housing and plentiful work.

(Looks around at UK, 2025)

OK, maybe not then.

That one *looks* like it was put in so that cycles can turn right to get access to an off-road path (easier / safer for casual/inexperienced riders than shoulder-check and a vehicle-style right turn, if the road is busy ish).

Definitely a bit crap to do that without an island or zebra though.

I guess that comes down to high earners being geographically concentrated in places where £70k might, with a fair wind and a good credit rating, get you a mortgage on a studio flat.

Everyone's looking one or more rungs up the ladder. It usually gets a free pass for being less toxic than other social media, but Instagram has a lot to answer for on this specific thing - making impossibly expensive lifestyles look like the norm.
