Can anyone give me information about the "rumor" I have heard that the US government is now insinuating itself on the Blue Sky platform? I am especially interested in how this will affect the platform and users.

Yesterday, we went on a guided tour of a cave that is (literally) just down the road from us. We have lived here for 22 years and driven by it a million times and never gone in--until yesterday. Absolutely fascinating tour and information about this area and the cave itself. Glad we went!

All these U.S. attorneys — what’s her name from Fox (who I hope is sober) — she’s not a real U.S. attorney. She works for Trump. They’ve gutted the DOJ. The DOJ doesn’t exist. The FBI doesn’t exist. It’s all just Trump’s employees.

Director of European Transport Safety Council: "Europe now risks being flooded with oversized, under-regulated US pick-up trucks and SUVs – heavier, more dangerous to other car drivers, pedestrians and cyclists, and completely out of step with Europe’s vision for safer, more sustainable mobility.”
This is an INSANE decision by the E.U.
“By signing up to mutual recognition of vehicle standards with the U.S., the E.U. has waved the white flag on road safety. This is not a technical detail – it is a political choice that puts trade convenience ahead of saving lives.”
This will kill people.

Just finished reading two books: one non-fiction, the other fiction. The Buried City (about Pompeii) is excellent and very well written and so interesting. The Running Grave (Cormoran Strike latest) is much better than the previous one, but still way too long (945 pages).
