Maybe i am getting old, but i remember quite clearly in the late 90s when Chirac and Blair mooted the idea of European army, the US were dead against it causing European dismay. 2026 US tells Europe it needs its own army....again European dismay. 🤷‍♂️ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

These prices are crazy.

This chart (which applies even more to social media than it did to TV) lives in my head rent free. Social media enveloping traditional media means everything and everyone is now competing in the entertainment market. Boring stuff like policy that affects millions of lives doesn’t stand a chance.

#Voi map for london. Can only park and ride with the e bit, when in the unshaded zones. #stupid

Avoid #VOI ebikes in London. 1st time and last time on a voi bike. Very patchy coverage, gps tracker constanly cutting the motor off when cycling on a boundary. Cluncky automatic gearing. Parking zones yes, but riding zones? Fix or will disappear soon. Never again.
