Umm, that's a "take" I guess 🤷‍♂️
From Wikipedia: Christianity Baptized in his youth, Jefferson became a governing member of his local Episcopal Church in Charlottesville, which he later attended with his daughters.[341] Jefferson, however, spurned Biblical views of Christianity.[342] Influenced by Deist authors during his college years, Jefferson abandoned orthodox Christianity after his review of New Testament teachings.[343][344] Jefferson has sometimes been portrayed as a follower of the liberal religious strand of Deism that values reason over revelation.[345] Nonetheless, in 1803, Jefferson asserted, "I am Christian, in the only sense in which [Jesus] wished any one to be".[220]

Unreal! My Avant West Coast train to Euston actually arrived on time this morning. Not vaguely on time, but *exactly*! I feel like I woke up in Switzerland or something...

Utility charges at UK rapid charging sites make it uneconomic to expand them - meaning that the only way to make them pay is if the chargers are fully utilised (i.e. queues). Cause is Ofgem's new pricing regime, which charges for capacity (rather than usage). Seems like a policy disconnect here #ev
Ian Johnston, CEO of charger operator Osprey, told Autocar that “we are nowhere near profitability” because of skyrocketing electric grid costs. Dora Clarke, Osprey’s head of external affairs, said the standing charge paid by the company for a “typical” hub in the Midlands with eight chargers has increased over the past three years from £99 per year to more than £8600. Osprey operates 56 such hubs nationally.

Ooh, the burn! 🔥
It is not true that Ryanair is genuinely concerned about the welfare of Spanish citizens and the competitiveness of the regions. What Ryanair wants is to make more money, even if it is paid out of Spanish taxpayers' pockets. Proof of the above is that on 16 January 2025, Ryanair DAC CEO Eddie Wilson stated without batting an eyelid that his favourite airport model in Spain is that of Castellón Airport, owned by the Government of the Valencian Community, an ill-fated symbol of public waste in infrastructure and which lost 11.6 million euros in 2023, paid for by the citizens of the Valencian Community. Or to put it in other words: by praising Castellón Airport, Ryanair has shown its true colours. It is somewhat surprising that Ryanair's head of communications and institutional relations in Spain did not warn Eddie Wilson in advance of the tremendous reputational impact of his statements.

This Sunday Mirror article from 23rd November 1997 cooing over "Madam Maxwell" setting 50-year-old #trump "billionaire" up for a weekend away with a 20-year-old "trophy" Anouska De Georgiou is really quite something 😳
Sunday Mirror "Confidential" page from 23rd November 1997 https://www.docdroid.net/file/download/Mlycz1D/bl-0002137-19971123-070-0014-2-pdf.pdf JUST weeks after ditching his second wife, America's best-known billionaire Donald Trump has fallen under the spell of a 20-year-old English girl. Trump, 50. who has failed in his bid to secure the services of Princess Diana's butler Paul Burrell, was in search of another British trophy when he met London model Anouska De Georgiou at a party in Manhattan. Several American millionaires already had their eyes on Anouska. But she was there with Robert Maxwell's daughter Ghislame, who has introduced several of her attractive friends to the property developer. And none of his would-be rivals owned a vast mansion in Florida like Donald does: Mar-a-Lago (where I have dined with him and his outgoing wife Marla) is enough to make any young girl go weak at the knees.. After their meeting, Trump flew Madam Maxwell and the model south to the sunshine state, where all three enjoyed a happy weekend together. When they returned to New York, Anonska was installed in one of Donald's many apartments there. Ms De Georgiou likes older men - she went out once or twice with Joanna Lumley's ex-husband Jeremy Lloyd, who is 15 years her senior. Doubtless it is the start of a long (by Trump standards it already is) friendship.
