WHATS UP YOU WET MOTHERFUCKERS

Michael Collins, the chap who took this photograph, remains the only person on earth to have taken a photo that had everyone in shot aside himself.

If Artemis is going up then it gives me an excuse to once again post this photo, the only one to contain every human being in the universe but one.

Government to lift paywall from large parts of the Land Registry Exclusive: finding out who owns land will become simpler under plans to make the best use of green spaces and hit net zero targets

VICTORY! Government to open up the Land Registry - bringing to an end a thousand years of secrecy shrouding who owns England.

I’ve been campaigning for this for ten years: the new Land Use Framework, published later today, makes it government policy. 1/

Wow, amazing. I've always wondered how to fry an egg

We're watching the wholesale burning of every scrap of dignity afforded to trans people in the UK, their rights, their medical services, their employment, their place within society, their bodily functions.

It is a disgrace, and a disgusting stain on the government and media of this country.

Asked for comment by Sky News, the IDF responded: "Earlier today, IDF troops identified two suspects who crossed the yellow line, conducted suspicious activities on the ground, and approached IDF troops operating in the southern Gaza Strip, posing an immediate threat to them. "Following the identification, the IAF eliminated the suspects in order to remove the threat."

They were 8 and 11 years old

Once in a generation... Because that's how often HMT invests anything in the north

"some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily execute civilians" says today's New York Times, continuing their long tradition of whitewashing fascism

Absolute all-timer sentence in today's @nytimes.com

I feel like a madman pointing this out but the plausible, real world explanation for the marked uptick in work visas after 2019 is quite simply that in the previous year, the UK blew up its entire labour market by getting rid of FOM, on which it was intrinsically and inherently dependent.

Historic village = car park in global megacity, apparently

MIGRANTS AREN'T THE PROBLEM INEQUALITY IS Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ

Migrants didn't cut council funding. Migrants didn't cut NHS funding. Migrants didn't close youth centres. Migrants didn't sell off council houses. Migrants aren't filling our rivers with sewage.

Farage and co. will tell you to point the finger at migrants.

Don't fall for it.

Remember when a woman filed a lawsuit in 2016 against Trump alleging she was raped by him when she was 13 years old in 1994, at Jeffrey Epstein's home?!

This was years before Epstein was investigated and arrested again in 2019 and the M.O. lines right up.

This is what the UCI took from us

Am starting to think widespread civil disobedience is the most effective way to tackle Labour's policy of punishment beatings for trans people to please right wing bigots.

And this can't fall on the trans community - cis allies too are going to have to start using the 'wrong' toilets.

If you want to know how serious our decline in the UK, when North Carolina did what the Labour Government and EHRC have done, the then UK Government told LGBT+ people to beware travelling there.

Meet Starline, the Europe-wide train of the future Starline is a grand plan for a Trans-European Transport Network of high-speed trains, the first project of 21st Europe, a new creative agency deploying design to make our lives better

If I were hoping to create a plan for a workable pan-European high speed rail network, the experts I most want to hear from are definitely a design agency, a branding studio, and a design studio.

I apologise for bringing this nonsense to the attention of @jonworth.eu and @garethdennis.bsky.social

Das ist keine "umstrittene Wahlkampfaktion", das ist Einschüchterung und Terror. Mag sich jemand in der Redaktion beim SWR mal vorstellen, was das mit den Menschen macht, die Ziel dieses völkischen Furors sind?
Und was muss noch passieren, ehe man diese Rassisten stoppt?

this is incredible stuff. most state DOTs would spend tens of billions on highway expansions to try and see numbers like this (that wouldn’t even pan out anyway thanks to induced demand lol)

I’m not crazy about the building’s design, but this would be a massive waste of embodied carbon. It was the tallest reinforced concrete building on the planet when completed.

Finally read that WSJ article from last week and this confirms everything I suspected.

An infographic showing 47% of ecological enhancements are missing on housing developments.

Researchers at @sheffielduni looked at nearly 6,000 houses across 42 developments.

When they compared promises for wildlife-friendly features found in planning conditions with what was on the ground, they found that nearly half were missing.
