www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Oh dear, Cybertruck seized by UK police. Why? 1) They haven't passed UK safety standards, and hence are illegal on UK roads. 2) They self-identify the driver as a complete tool, and the police are just doing him a favour. 🙂

Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come. ‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair. Here’s to a few drops of respair in 2025.

Trump’s team claimed that their tax cuts would boost household income by $4,000. But research shows that the lowest paid workers saw no change in earnings. Meanwhile, exec salaries increased sharply. Trump and Republicans want to double down on yet another trickle-down scam.

Canada should put in a counter offer; the U.S. can become their southernmost territory. I know it'll take a while for some to adjust to civilisation, but most Americans aren't bad sorts, they've just made some poor choices of late. 😁

Rosie and Wogan, after chasing each other around the field for an hour yesterday. The car may smell of wet dog for a while, but sharing the simple, unencumbered joy of these two furry lumps is definitely good for the soul. #DogsOfBluesky

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

“All donations that originate from abroad, no matter who is the final donor, should be banned. Only UK citizens should be allowed to donate to British political organisations. This would, by necessity mean no donations from private companies; PLCs, LTDs, whatever.”

I heard RFK Jr. is floating the banning of the polio vaccine so seems like a good time to remind folks that RFK Jr. was vaccinated with this same vaccine & therefore is at no risk of harm himself Kinda like when he publicly was against the covid vaccine yet privately required his guests to have it🙃
