Carpark companies are modern day pirates. Parked my car and payed the right payment through an app, forgot to change numberplate on app = £100 fine 😡😡😡 #automatedthieves

WARNER: Do you accept the fact that 1 million Americans died from covid? RFK Jr: I don't know how many died W: You're the secretary of health and human services. You don't have any idea how many Americans died from covid? RFK Jr: I don't think anybody knows that W: How can you be that ignorant?

This article is pure Black Mirror, but without the dark humour 🤯😱

Biggest insider trading market manipulation scheme in history. They aren't even bothering to hide it.

Oh what a surprise, Netflix don’t want to pay a small 5% tax to help fund UK public service broadcasting that trains all the talented actors, producers, writers, and crew that then go to work for Netflix… I AM SHOCKED! www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

Edrych ymlaen i hyn 🤓 Really looking forward to this!!

The great train robbery is costing Wales BILLIONS in rail funding - yet Labour are failing to right this wrong. Just imagine what this money could do! This week, we’ll be urging the Welsh Labour Government to demand that their colleagues in Westminster pay 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 what we’re owed.

More of this!

I'd like to bring this video to your attention. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyco... It's doing pretty significant numbers for what it is, so while I understand sharing it won't make a difference for those knee-deep in the cult of personality, I'd say it has a better-than-average chance of resonating.

A couple of golf outings could pay for over 300 federal jobs for an entire year.

Today, the House GOP censured me for speaking out for the American people against @POTUS’s plan to cut Medicaid. I accept the consequences of my actions, but I refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice. #WeShallOvercome x.com/repalgreen/s...

Trump and Vance ran a televised scam today. What all America saw was a premeditated hoax to justify cutting off aid to Ukraine. Nothing Zelenskyy did was offensive or disrespectful—but that was the line Trump and Vance had clearly decided to use beforehand to justify what they and Putin wanted.

This is a bigger scandal than people realize. It really makes it look as though this entire meeting was a setup by Trump that was planned in advance. If you watch the video it is clear that they are deliberately and almost derangedly blindsiding Zelenskyy. Now we know who the audience was. Putin.

Erik Prince - Trump’s proxy to open a backchannel to Putin in 2016 and wanted to guard the nuclear reactors Trump was gonna give to the Saudis - wants to build concentration camps.

Brilliant simple clear explainer by @sheridanflynn.bsky.social of the threat Russia poses to Britain youtu.be/M7O4Eh3Roe8?...

It’s a coup. It’s a strategic alliance with Putin. It’s the end of the post-war international order. It’s the triumph of lies over truth and in Putin’s case, evil over good. We are through the looking glass & we all now have to decide who we are & what we stand for

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Looks like the FT is getting there..

Thank you, Gill. It really is an insane story that if you dramatised it would be beyond believable.

Politics at the moment is failing to deliver the most basic elements of a decent life for people. Holding politicians accountable for misleading the public would help turn politics into what it should be – a debate about how to improve people’s lives.

I had insomnia the night Russia invaded Ukraine and watched it unfold in real time. And tonight watching, here in London, that's what it feels like again. A dark, implacable malevolent takeover. That's accompanied by almost total silence amid so much noise. open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

When you solve for the wrong problem, not only do you not get the solution, you can cause harm. The President wasted water that was being saved for farmers for a PR stunt. This was harmful, ludicrous, and solved nothing.

The success of Sker Ritual signals a golden opportunity for the Welsh gaming industry The depth and richness of Welsh arts and culture are a boon to any storytelling form. Small Welsh indie gaming studios are making much of that, and could do more. ✍️ Sam Lewis bylines.cymru/arts-and-cul...
