Oh, sure, but when I stack live pigs on crates, petrol drums, old tyres, and broken washing machines, I'm asked to leave the garden centre.

Like a tax-evading criminally convicted real estate scam or like a nazi-infested hellhole that has lost 80% of its value in 2 years. Got it.

Holy FUCK. AGAIN. Struijk meets the corner and heads it to the back post where Tanaka nods it in off the far post despite a man being on the line. An away end full of dislocated shoulders. Sheffield United 1-2 Leeds United #lufc

I'll run the campaign for $50m. Shouldn't take me long to copy...I mean work up the creatives. After all, this worked so well in the 80s.

500m posts a day on X globally distributed to 300+m users. But yeah, 150m radio-button style forms to a couple of central servers would be a stretch. Clueless.

As ever: never trust a government that pretends it’s possible to create backdoors in encryption only they (or “the good guys”) can use. This stuff always leaves everyone less secure, benefitting criminals and adversaries. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Elon Musk just had the Community Note removed from the clip of his interview with Trump that went viral on X. The note pointed out that Musk lied about having to rescue astronauts because Biden supposedly abandoned them.

SpaceX successfully land a Falcon9 1st stage booster 97.1% of the time. There are 45k scheduled flights per day in the US. So presumably they'll be happy with anything less than 1300 crashes per day.

There is much less chance of better public understanding if BBC presenters think you can compare annual spending of 5 billion to the alleged cost of a century-long lease of 9 billion/100 years.
