Another Brexit dividend. Currently no customs checks being done on food entering the UK either.

On the back of all the Mohammed Ben Sulayem discussions going on, I've been getting a lot of questions about why it's likely that he will win reelection when the FIA Presidential elections happen in December 2025.

Tackling the epidemic of violence against women and girls is critical, and will require a huge cultural shift in our society.
Men: it’s not on women to solve this problem. We need to take a stand. To do the work. And to hold ourselves and each other accountable. #WhiteRibbonDay

Excellent example of how Musk has broken (adjusted to his preferences) the X algorithm. Bluesky shows 4x the engagement on apparently only 12% of the followers on X.
hard to exaggerate how nuts the engagement is on Bluesky compared to 𝕏. a vastly smaller user base (at least officially), but just look at these stats for one of the biggest newspapers on Earth. Musk has absolutely trashed the platform. folks, you are not locked in on 𝕏. not even a little.

Did not have "Red Bull bring the wrong rear wing to Vegas" on the bingo card. For a team that will probably still win the drivers' title this weekend they're in utter shambles. #LasVegasGP #F1

1. The difference so far (and for god's sake let's keep it that way) between X and Bluesky is not between right and left but between abuse and respect.
