Trump just gave a commutation to David Gentile, a private equity executive who defrauded investors of $1.6B.

Meanwhile, Trump's regime has also scrapped enforcement actions against over 160 corporations accused of misconduct.

A new Golden Age for corporate criminals.

The Aiggin Stone, close to Blackstone Edge. A medieval waymarker, on a packhorse route, overlaying a Roman road, crossing the Pennines. It was once much taller, but has been diminished by numerous falls.

I was feeling all proud of myself for getting my temperature blanket back up to date, only to realise that I'd messed up and accidentally repeated three days at the beginning of September.
