Serious case of cloud envy

[Paul Powlesland @paulpowlesland]

Good news! After decades of ignoring rampant environmental crime on the Roding, @EnvAgency has finally decided to act.

Bad news! It’s not against Thames Water for illegally dumping billions of litres of sewage in the Roding, or the waste criminals who have dumped thousands of tonnes of rubbish on its banks, but against myself & a small volunteer charity for… restoring a river without a permit!

Within a week of the magnificent work of River Roding Trust volunteers completing the arduous work of restoring 250 metres of the Aldersbrook this winter, EA investigators had been down to the site and rattled off a letter threatening us with prosecution for doing the work without a permit. This is despite the fact that the Trust have repeatedly asked the EA to do this vital work on the Aldersbrook themselves & they have refused. It is also despite the fact that they have not investigated the huge illegal sewage outlet on the Cranbrook a few hundred metres away, which illegally discharges 750,000,000 litres of raw sewage straight into the River Roding every year.

I’m sorry, this is total bollocks. I have been looking after my river for a decade and you have done absolutely nothing to support me and the other hundreds of volunteers who give up their free time to do your job for you and to stop the river we love from dying.

This picture is the part of the Aldersbrook that we haven’t yet restored. Do you agree that allowing one of the ancient rivers of London to disappear beneath a layer of sewage, silt, rubbish & knotweed is a disgrace? If so, when can we expect EA teams down in the river to sort it out?

6 months pregnant. Kicked off a Frontier flight with her husband. Police called. No real compensation.

"They treat us like seat numbers on a screen — not human beings."

"I'm pregnant". Frontier agent, "I don't care."

Corporate greed turns people into disposable objects.

This should make you furious.

Dear Joe,
I wish I could sit down with you face to face and explain why so many of us were offended by the UFC fight on the South Lawn of the White House.
For me, it had nothing to do with the UFC or who showed up for the fights. The brand you and Dana have built is a bona fide American success story. More power to you. As for the fighters, in my book, anyone brave enough to put it all on the line in the arena is remarkable to witness. Their dedication and discipline inspire me. I don’t understand anyone who can’t admire that.
And as for the people who attended, I, for one, love Shane Gillis. I think he’s hilarious and brilliant. It was a show. A once-in-a-lifetime spectacle. I can’t blame anyone for wanting to witness it firsthand.
My problem is that I believe some of our public spaces are sacred. And unlike many of the great powers that came before us, these American monuments belong to all of us. Not to whoever happens to hold power at the moment.
The White House does not belong to Donald Trump. It does not belong to any President. It belongs to the people. To treat it as Caesar treated the Colosseum is antithetical to everything our founding fathers fought for.
This is not Rome. Presidents are not emperors doling out bread and circuses for the peasants. The White House is the People’s House. This “celebration” could have happened in any stadium within a stone’s throw of the South Lawn. No one would have had an issue with it.
But that was obviously Donald Trump’s whole point. By holding the event on the South Lawn, what he was saying to the rest of us is:
“This is my house. I own it. I will do with it what I please. I’ll build a colosseum and have the gladiators fight under my gaze. I’ll tear down the East Wing. I’ll pave over the Rose Garden. I’ll cover everything in gold and marble. I’ll erase the names of all the men who came before me.”
The fights were an exhibition of imperial domination, not a celebration of our 250th anniversary as a democracy.
The White House is not Buckingham Palace. It is not the Palace of Versailles. It is not the Forbidden City of Beijing. It does not belong to an emperor, or a king, or a commissar.
The White House belongs to us. All of us. The person who sits behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office is nothing more than an honored guest. A temporary caretaker.
The President is our servant. Not our Caesar.
Respectfully, Hunter

P.S. Cage match between me and Don Jr.? Your call on the venue. Anywhere but the South Lawn.

Imagine advertising luxury villas in Nazi Germany during Holocaust. That's the level of tone-deaf we're witnessing

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

Hey DOGE and NEWSMAX, can we get an update here?  

Turns out preventing a flesh-eating parasite from invading U.S. livestock wasn’t government waste…

[Jvnior @Jvnior]

Arrest everyone in that committee.

The idea that we live in a democracy is laughable.

[Jeff Leach @leachfortexas]

No one rapes a Texas child and gets this kind of royal treatment. If my House Judiciary Committee has to subpoena Ken Paxton himself to explain this — be assured that we will do so.

We deserve answers. And this is not going away.

[Mel @Villgecrazylady]

Anyone who says they are going to Congress to fight for the citizens of another country should be immediately disqualified from ever holding public office in America.

This is just batshit insane.

[Ken from KY-04 @MassieNation19]

This should make you sick as an American .

[Woz @accordingtowoz]

Looks like someone was a little giddy and accidentally let the cat out of the bag...not surprisingly AIPAC ended up deleteting this post...

[End3of6Days9 (Helen) 🇺🇸 @end3of6days9]

This woman shares her experience with Walmart’s digital price tags and how they appear to be using something called dynamic pricing.

Dynamic pricing is when companies adjust prices in real time based on demand or other factors.

She found a pair of shoes marked down to just $3 on clearance. When she scanned the tag in the shoe aisle, it showed $3. But by the time she reached the register, the same shoes scanned for nearly $19. When she went back with a manager to check, the price seemed to change depending on where she was standing in the store.

It’s raising some questions about how transparent this kind of pricing really is — especially for people trying to stick to a budget.

Have you ever had a price change on you while shopping, either in-store or online?

[OddTodd @T_Manzana27]

Idgaf if you hated this guy or watched him religiously, any show getting canceled by a President is Anti American

[Prem Thakker @prem_thakker]

Oh ya for sure dude imagine a country like that

[🏴‍☠️ @calvinfroedge]

So what we're supposed to believe is that a guy who only had 75 donations from Kentucky, an empty victory party, and nobody at his rallies, managed to double turnout from 2024 plus get all 10k mail in ballots

KY-4 may have been outright fraud

These numbers don't make sense

[James Raab 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @JamesRaxz]

A court has to block this or it throws the legitimacy of our entire system of laws into question like never before.

[evan loves worf @esjesjesj]

Honestly pure dictator shit. A real democracy would immediately imprison him for even trying this
