There are pictures of the gold toilet.
Though I’m told someone has taken the toilet seat presumably as a souvenir. Investigators have said “we’ve got nothing to go on”

I remember being told that it would take 193 years to reach legal limits for nitrogen dioxide.
I decided this was unacceptable.
Thanks to the bold policies we put in place, we've managed to do it in nine years - 184 years earlier than expected.

Two weeks after the murder of a political activist in the US, a 'senior' figure in The Reform Party talks of shooting civil servants in car parks. These people are a disgrace. @reformexposed.bsky.social

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.

New analysis of relationship between car weight and fatal collision rates in the UK finds “ppl driving heavier cars are disproportionately involved in more fatal collisions”.
Particularly the case for those involving other cars or pedestrians.
