Sick to death of the village vandals saying that only they can fix the burned down Scout hut

One of the most successful pedestrian streets in the world, the Strøget in Copenhagen, was filled with cars until a 2 year pedestrianization pilot project in 1962. The opposition argued “no cars means no business,” but the street has been a massive retail success, the city’s busiest shopping street.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

genxbiker68: #NowThisImpact As a bit of a news junkie & 🇨🇦, I find this hard to understand. But... I don't listen to Fox. I live in Canada where DEI and Pride are everywhere. When I recall Jonestown, where 918 people lost their lives, I understand. #MAGACult

Proposition: Once a sufficiently large proportion of an electorate have completely unrealistic expectations of their leaders, that electorate becomes ungovernable. I suggest that the proportion is surprisingly small—maybe only 15-20%.

Which part of UK has outperformed the rest since Brexit? Northern Ireland of course, as it has effectively stayed in the EU’s single market!

Excellent insights. #Ballard #JGB youtu.be/pxvwKoh4SZU

NEW: Hours after heated exchange with Trump, Sen Bill Cassidy (R-LA) joins Sen Cory Booker (D-NJ) in memo to Todd Blanche seeking answers about Trump’s sweetheart immunity deal with IRS

The East Wing is gone. He tore it down himself. The pool is green. The lawn is dirt. The Kennedy Center is cowering behind a tarp. Everything Trump touches dies, and now you can finally see it from the air, in one photograph, on the morning of America’s 250th year. open.substack.com/pub/therickw...

I'm confident nobody will share this.

Nigel Farage claims complete credit for Brexit. And he's right. As a result the net wealth of the average Briton was shrunk by more than 5% per year.

A new Science study shows that bumble bees can position a ball underneath a fake “flower” to reach a reward, suggesting they can exhibit spontaneous problem-solving and challenging the notion that such advanced cognitive abilities are exclusive to large-brained vertebrates. https://scim.ag/4vs08dC

Just 10 days after the SpaceX IPO, the stock has plunged and the average investor has seen most of their initial gains disappear. And don't forget: rules protecting investors from volatile new stocks were gutted — at SpaceX's behest. The universe's largest Ponzi scheme?

To those who say “this is not the Brexit I voted for”, you voted for an impossible fantasy, sold to you by grifting gobshites with no interest in reality or what was actually possible. You got exactly what you voted for.

Prior to Brexit there were no small boat crossings to the UK. Not one. The Farage Boats are there in large part because of leave.

There's a hidden methodology implicit in AI adoption which, I think, flows from the very top. "Don't bother with accuracy or insight or truthfulness. Speed is the one metric we care about. That's how we do our jobs, and we're the richest men in the world. QED." This is not going to end gracefully.

'Do your MPs who defected from the Tories have a mandate?' Reform UK leader Nigel Farage is questioned on #BBCbreakfast over his calls for a General Election if Andy Burnham replaces Keir Starmer as Prime Minister

Imagine asking a surfer to commit to exactly how they're going to shift their centre of balance, at what tempo, in what sequence, before they paddle out from the beach. Yet some outside and inside the Labour Party want Burnham to commit to specific policy actions before the political waves break.

Just because people are in some doubt. No, Burnham is not a MAGA/Musk/Thiel/ Crypto/Putin place-man. How could he be as someone who is best placed to rout Farage, who is several of the above

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere. It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

Partway through Bridget Read's unmissable chronicle of pyramid ("multi-level marketing") schemes, *Little Bosses Everywhere*, there comes a dual revelation: no one is selling any product to end-users *and* no one knows it: pluralistic.net/2025/05/05/f... 1/

It's official: Andy Burnham has been elected as the new MP for Makerfield. A longtime advocate for electoral reform, he will join the growing ranks of Proportional Representation supporters in Parliament. We'll continue to work with him to get this message heard in Westminster👇

When are political activists (I note on the left, but, actually, everyone) going to see that national governments just can't do as much any more? Relative to other forces in the world, they're much weaker than they've ever been. And "radical policies" aren't going to make them stronger…

"The Americans can't get the slime out of their capital's monument pool and will arrest you for touching it," sounds like the sort of lie they'd tell us in the Soviet Union so we'd stop bitching about bread lines.

Digital devices make you confused. I'm serious. To really GET things, read them on paper. I only read books on paper. I'd assumed my preference signified some undiagnosed difficulty or disorder. Nope. Turns out I'm typical, paper is good, and screens are crap. journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

This appears to be the president’s "proof" that vandals are sabotaging the Refelecting Pool.

​A textbook 'man of the people' move: under-declaring a private jet loan from an offshore crypto tycoon by a casual £666k. Tremendous to see taking back control meant turning UK politics into a deregulated, wild-west side hustle for international dark money. 🤡✈️ #RejoinEU #Brexit

Elon Musk is one of the scariest men alive. He should be deported from the U.S. for lying on immigration docs in the 1990s and never again allowed in this country. On the same day he whined about being called a Nazi, he reposted what sure sounds like a call for racial genocide.

Oh. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

One more thing Mr President. You painted the pool blue to fix the reflection, but then it absorbed more heat from the sun making it ideal for growing algae, so then you poured chemicals into the pool to fix the algae, but the chemicals are also paint stripper so caused the paint to delaminate?

That "American Flag Blue" paint is delaminating from the reflecting pool 😅 Polyurea pipeliner is a complex application that requires insane attention to detail. Inadequate surface prep, failure to remove laitance, moisture contamination, poor temperature control, rushing the cure period.

And here it is. For all the whining about condescension & belittling the poorly educated, nobody - and I mean nobody - holds Nigel Farage’s base in more profound contempt than Nigel Farage.
