Sarah Beckstrom's ex-boyfriend told NBC News she dreamed of becoming an FBI special agent.

She didn't want to deploy to D.C.

"She hated it. She cried about it."

But she started visiting monuments and museums and started enjoying it.

May she rest in peace.

If a phone still works fine, it’s not “device hoarding” to keep using it. It’s common sense.

MGT has seen her networth jump from $700k to $25 million since joining Congress in 2021. And she served juuust long enough to get a lifetime tax payer-funded pension.

She got the joke.

April 2022 Income Tax Threshold £12,570
April 2031 Income Tax Threshold £12,570

Should be about £16,970.

Meaning every person earning £16,970 or more is paying £1,231.86 more in tax.

Threshold freezes are a tax on the poorest.

Some are suggesting you deliberately write inaccurate or confusing alt text, because they say this confuses AI scrapers that are analyzing images.

The purpose of alt text is to help people who cannot see the image. Deliberately misrepresenting the image is a gross misuse of alt text. Don't do it.

Bravo Tiverton! 👏

To all local councils, and communities, wondering how to stop the senseless slaughter on your land…

Be like Tiverton, and simply withdraw permission. It’s that simple.
"A town council has passed a motion to say a Boxing Day hunt was not welcome to go through its community."

Well done, Tiverton council.

The amount of web developers who clearly don't know when to use, or not use, a <section> element is genuinely shocking to me.

Impressive increase until you read that in a similar period, Paris cycling numbers increased by 240%.

Only 40% of people cycling in London feels safe when sharing with cars, but 76% feel safe on designated routes.

London needs to do a lot more and a lot quicker.

Waymo privatized another public street:

Possibly queued for a Billie Eilish show at Chase Center ~half mile away.

The light rail train on 4th seen passing in front of this roboherd has more passenger capacity than all of them combined.
