London 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️

If they don't mind historical dramas, BBC's Robin Hood series can be a little cheesy but great fun for the whole family. The Other Bennet Sister was recently released. The Shannara Chronicles and Shadow & Bone are both good book to TV fantasies.

Half a billion but no money for trains.

This works quite well in parts of Europe. Large enough cities are their own councils or even whole states like Hamburg (though for historical reasons in Germany). Tbh, I often wondered as a kid growing up in Western WA why the state wasn't split in two, east and west.

Incredible story about the arrogant and lawless men who have boiled our planet

Capitalism descends into piracy.

Awful people making awful arguments.

Look, the corruption from the US is so blatant right now that London finance people are openly talking about it in Courchevel.

Trump family deal spree could open door for future presidents to profit from office - The Boston Globe The family real estate business is undergoing the fastest overseas expansion since its founding a century ago, each deal potentially shaping everything from tariffs to military aid.

Trump and his family are profiting off the presidency by the billions while Americans struggle to pay the bills.

In his second term, the Trump Organization has already done 8 deals in foreign countries. These are huge conflicts of interest.

The corruption is clear as day.

Trump 0 for 2 with Christian groups this week.
Insulting the pope and sharing a blasphemous portrayal of himself as Jesus.
Trump's excuse of 'I thought I was portrayed as a doctor' either highlights how little he knows of Christianity or is a lie. Vance's comment that it was a "joke" makes it worse.

hoping jd vance comes here to negotiate a stronger brexit so we can end up back in the eu

Gott sei Dank

Good

Buttigieg: "For the leader of this country to make a nakedly genocidal threat against another civilization as if the US was a death star that was going around blowing up civilizations, of course that is a new low ... the whole country is being judged just for tolerating that kind of thing at the WH"

Since I was a child reading about history (thanks to The Royal Diaries for starting that), one certainty I've had is that the sun would eventually set on American greatness. My little child heart worried it would be in my lifetime. It may in fact be the case now.

Quelle surprise.
But at least something is happening to make Trumpers and Trump-agnostic USians see the consequences of letting him do what he wants.
Personal economic matters have always mattered at the voter booths.

Folks outside of Georgia don't understand how remarkable this exchange — between a Black reporter and a white woman with her kid in Rome, Georgia, the anchor of Marjorie Taylor Greene's old district — is.

This is basically a recycled headline from the beginning of Russia's push into Ukraine.

Swap in 'US' and we're good to go.

At least this version won't affect November.

I'll take renewables, thanks.

En el mercado de valores hay un viejo dicho sobre el uso de información privilegiada: fácil de detectar, difícil de probar. Las operativas y decisiones de Trump en Irán ha despertado todo tipo de recelos entre operadores social.elpais.com/dq0…

Maven. Software built by Palantir. And tragedy from human failure to update a database with 10 year old information.

UK ‘weeks away’ from medicine shortages if Iran war continues, experts say Concern that supply chain disruption could hit health essentials – and prices – from painkillers to cancer treatment
