Huge milestone, the fact that this happened on the one road with proper infrastructure over a long distance tells you everything.

You right dear Brent!
The next mayoral election in Paris will be a choice between returning to the past, a city for cars, lies and empty gestures, Dati/Trump-style populism, or continuing to move forward into the 21st century for a happy proximity city, human centric, liveable and more peaceful.

I believe the 2 most important city mayoral elections in the world will be tomorrow’s New York City Election (the most important turning point #VOTE in New York history? #VOTEMamdani) & next year’s Paris Election for the successor of this generation’s most important/influential mayor, Anne Hidalgo.

O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao?
TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is
O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him.

Usually the reaction to seeing creeps like Matt Goodwin on tv debates is to wonder why they platform hateful people like him. But then you see him taken apart and exposed on #bbcqt and you think maybe these views need the disinfectant of exposure to light.
