@trq212 Never use plan mode these days. If I want a plan, I'll just ask for it.

[Emyr Thomas @emyrt]

@johnbeverley467 @anon_opin Agreed. Larger, heavier cars create more damage to road surfaces too, so should be taxed more than smaller lighter cars.

OMG @cineworld, I applaud the fact that you take security seriously, but your password requirements are somewhat extreme! The password I attempted to use? 7X_=-%J#2yj9
WTF?

@simonw @_catwu @trq212 I've noticed this myself recently, even to the point where I don't have e to steer it in a specific direction as much, it'll just seem to do the right thing. Not always, but much more often than previous Clause models

When you park in an empty car park and someone comes and parks in the spot right next to you. What is wrong with these people?!

This New York Times piece is worth your time. Here’s what is happening, as simply as I can put it.

Back in January, Trump sued the IRS, an agency he controls, demanding $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns a number of years ago.

IRS lawyers did their jobs. They wrote a memo laying out the defenses that could beat the suit, including the fact that Trump filed too late. His own lawyer was in court when the leaker pleaded guilty in October 2023, more than two years before Trump sued.

The Justice Department never showed up to court. Never argued back. Never used the defenses sitting on their desk.

The judge got suspicious and ordered both sides to explain whether they were actually opposing each other or just colluding. The day before that brief was due, Trump dropped the suit.

Same day, his Justice Department announced a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded “anti-weaponization fund.” 

Trump gets a formal apology. The IRS agrees to drop any audits of him and his family, even though a 2024 Times report found a loss in an ongoing audit could cost him over $100 million.

The acting Attorney General, Trump’s former criminal defense attorney, picks the five commissioners who decide who gets paid. Trump can fire any of them. Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are not ruled out.

This is the most corrupt thing I’ve ever seen from an American president.

Where in the hell are my Republican colleagues?

21 kicked out. 28 defected. 39 resigned. 5 suspended. 1 disqualified. 5 lost seats. That's approximately 99 Reform UK councillors and representatives who have left the party.

22 of them since the local elections just two weeks ago. The party claims "some of the strongest vetting in the country."

Here's the full list 👇

I live in Wales and today received my Join Us letter from Reform UK, complete with SAE which I posted back to them, immediately, empty. If every other person in Wales did this, Reform would spend over £1.5 million on postage. Not sorry. Join me Cymru.

Not a lot of people understand this... but you actually don’t have to have an opinion about everything. You don’t have to decide if something is good or bad. Marcus Aurelius says limiting the amount of opinions we have is one of the most powerful things we can do in life.

@dhh Congratulations are Frameworks - Frameworks are Constraints. This is not necessarily a bad thing.

It's pretty windy today, and we've already wasted enough lovely wind power to power Wales and Scotland☹️👎

It's only 2pm, and we've paid gas plants nearly £3 million extra to switch on in wind's place

We should give people lower prices when there's lots of wind
