(yes, it's in capitals)
I have no interest in Crypto, TechBro or StartUp Cultures.
I don't really require or easily accept glib, anodyne 'motivational' advisors (unless it's me).
And I can only really sufficiently manage to read English French or Danish with coherence.

The value of Fuel Duty is now at historic lows, having fallen by 23p per litre (or a third) in real terms over the past decade.

It would cost £5 billion *per year* to continue the freeze by the end of the decade.

Instead, smaller quarterly increases should be introduced.

Wasn't there a renowned defamation case which was concluded after defence lawyers proved that the plaintiff had done far more, by his own conduct, to reduce his own reputation, in the short period since bringing the case, than their client had ever managed in verifying previously rumoured facts?

I fire år gammel DR2-reklamevideo sa den danske DNA-forskeren Eske Willerslev til et hvitt par at de første menneskene på Grønland døde ut grunnet innavl og at det ikke gjaldt dansker, fordi «vi har hatt sex med andre folkeslag fra Midtøsten og Vest-Asia»

BREAKING: Rep. Adelita Grijalva has officially signed onto the Epstein discharge petition. That means there are now 218 votes — and a full vote must come to the floor.

And there's me thinking the MAGA asshats were ideologically opposed to assisted suicide.
Also shows the great distance, from the electorate, at which they operate, make unjustifiable decisions & see their own existence as special & wholly separate from any & all blowback that ensues from this.
First they came for reproductive rights.
Then they came for vaccines.
Now they’re coming for mental health.

There is zero evidence SSRIs cause mass violence.

You know what does? Guns — and the fact that anyone can access weapons that kill hundreds in seconds.

The fact that Trump is calling Mace and Boebert today pleading with them to remove their names from the Epstein petition at the last minute tells you everything you need to know about how incriminating the info in the files is to him and his cronies.

As long as Germany is in NATO and the EU, I fear German pacifism more than I fear German rearmament.

Türkiye is now more integrated with the EU than Britain, which is sad.

🥴 Peskov stated that Russia hopes Donald Trump is still willing to facilitate a diplomatic and political resolution to the Ukrainian crisis.

The Kremlin spokesman emphasized that Russia-US relations have bright prospects, but both sides are currently wasting time and money.

There does seem to be a lot of prior notice with these Epstein releases.
E.g. Peter Mandelson resigned weeks ago. A fact that seems somehow less relevant than if he'd no prior notice & felt forced to do so today.
That Trump seeks to sue the BBC for defamation has an almost quantum moral relativism.

The 'TBI' is like that medical process where an oesopheagal cancer is removed & then healthy tissue is removed too, overstretched & sewn back to fill a larger space than before, even if at reduced comfort to omnivorous patients with same cancer risk, who still shit their own bed.

What a surprise.
The least competent US administration in living memory (in terms of actual governance) has far better skilled allies when it come to degrading their 'enemies' & actual truth, freedom, justice, rights, more generally.

"This is one area where I really am a Bolshevik. I believe we should provide universal healthcare to all Americans.

There's no reason not to do it in the richest country in the world, especially if we can do it at half the cost we're providing now."

Care homes are mostly in the private sector, owned by corporations and private equity, profit margins of up to 40%.

The Saudi regime has executed Abdullah al-Derazi, under 18 at the time of his alleged crimes, linked to him attending demonstrations against the regime.

In August, the Saudis had executed Jabal Labbad, also arrested as a minor, in his case for attending demonstrations and funerals.

Kirstie Allsopp is disingenuous on R4 PM about 'drastically reducing stamp duty' when starting her argument with a price threshold example, property A at £500k or B at £650k for 'an extra bedroom or larger garden' but ends with emotive, illogical & uneconomic reasons why people might sell A & buy B.
