Absolutely looved this episode. So spot on. The Daniel BD bit especially. I just want to scream when it comes to Daniel, the man is quality and when you compare his treatment by ECB compared to Crawley I just lose my shit. Sack off England Daniel, become an international cricketer in Maroon!

I remain mystified why anyone would not want to have train service that could connect New York and Washington in 52 minutes or a 59 minute Chicago-Detroit train. www.cnn.com/travel/china...

Four colors for auditoriums from within four abandoned elementary schools in Detroit, Michigan. So many plays, band concerts, holiday performances and class end-year graduations happened in these now forgotten halls, many facing demolition soon. #abandoned #urbex #EastCoastKin #Detroit #photography

right wing populism includes an attack on the consumer finance protection bureau? is it also too woke?

Elon Musk is calling for the CFPB's remaining account balance of $711,586,678 to be returned to the American taxpayers. That you give everyone $2-$3. But returning Elon Musk’s money to taxpayers would give everyone about $1,300 each.

they've just about turned "dei" into the n-word. lolol

The Windsor-Detroit Tunnel Bus will be no more. This was the only regular schedule local public transit bus to cross an international border control in the world. A sad day for Canada - US relations. www.cbsnews.com/detroit/news...

🚨NEW CCP VIDEO🚨 With England forever tiefing West Indian players @mashstpaddy.bsky.social jumped into the CCP studio to look at our own diaspora talent. Time for CWI to think outside the box & expand the talent pool just like the Reggae Boyz youtu.be/ebWqkvdXQ6Y

looking on book recommendations on building demolition in Detroit...buildings got knocked down so quickly in the 50s and 60s - why? just saying "urban renewal" seems oversimplistic for example, the Gotham Hotel at John R and Mack closed in 1962 was demolished in 1963 lolol

West Indies cricket is a reminder to us all that: 1. The system we're in constrains our individual potential 2. despite system constraints, application and adaptability lead to success

costco is super anti-worker by the way...
