Trying to report yet another @Bolt vehicle for safety issues but then the app doesn’t let you send negative feedback and throws you out from the comments- fed up of poor service and safety issues on these cars #Bolt #Ghana

What time is it?

It’s 08:57! The perfect time for your daily dose of unashamed book promotion!

There’s an easy way to stop this - just buy enough books so that we can outsell this Grisham character and retire. The power is in your hands.

Oh, and it’s still half price today…

I know about #Mansplaining -- but what do you call it when something you said gets (approvingly) attributed to the man sitting next to you-- #Manttribution?

Seems like no matter how senior, experienced, or outspoken you are as a woman, it still happens to you. 😤

As someone who actually lives abroad, I can assure you @trussliz that the BBC is one of the very few British things that are still almost universally respected

As opposed to Brexit or erstwhile fleeting PMs who crashed its economy

@elonmusk Cat check: The American taxpayer doesn't fund the BBC.

Media Action is a charity run by the BBC that the US agency for International Development has previously donated to.

Elon Musk has had a lot to say about the grooming gangs scandal. We looked at 24 hours on Musk's X timeline and found a range of false and misleading information being amplified. Produced by Catherine Karelli, Shayan Sardarizadeh and Jake Horton. Graphics by Jacqueline Galvin.

New figures show 1 in 5 couples who want to separate are locked together due to money worries. In October I did a podcast special on "the finances of marriage & divorce" it's worth a listen here https://t.co/pCZ5iIxmiI and on lots of podcast players.

@flyethiopian I’d love to if only you’d let me use my miles!!!

[Sara Pownall @Midlagos]

Why does the @flyethiopian website take so long??? I’ve made 2 requests for an award flight but as the website is so slow the transaction is timed out. Even the contact us page on their website is too slow to connect 🤬My miles will expire if my patience doesn’t expire first

So, you want me to believe that you voted for a racist, rapist, convicted felon, business fraud who incited a deadly attack on our Capitol after losing the last election because of the price of eggs?
That you voted for the orange-dipped dude who ran with a different VP because the last one was nearly hanged for not breaking democracy, because you’ve been getting fewer hours at your job these days?
You want me to believe that you voted for someone who nearly every economist in the world has said will grow our debt (which he did by the third largest amount ever the last time), increase our costs, raise inflation and destroy our GDP because a burger and fries at Five Guys is more expensive than it used to be?
You want me to believe that you voted for the drink bleach guy who golfed while thousands of Americans were dying a day because you had it so much better then, when you were stockpiling toilet paper, than you do now?
You want me to believe that you voted for the guy who had 4 years to pass an infrastructure bill and didn’t, the guy who promised Mexico would pay for the wall when they didn’t, the guy who promised to bring manufacturing back, lower the cost of prescription drugs and end the opioid crisis but didn’t, because you preferred his “policies”?
You want me to believe you voted for the “grab em by the pussy” guy who wants to destroy the Department of Education and to repeal the ACA despite the fact that he has nothing more than “concepts of a plan” to replace it, the guy who will roll back environmental protections, strip women and minorities of more rights, the guy who will hand Ukraine to Putin and Gaza to Netanyahu, the guy who has said he will be a “dictator on day one”, because you’re worried about losing your gas stove?
I’m sorry, but I don’t believe any of that, and frankly, I’m not sure you believe it either.
Because the truth is that your vote wasn’t about any of that.
You voted for the traitorous embodiment of the 7 deadly sins because when it came to casting your ballot for a Black woman, you just couldn’t do it.
And because you like getting away with being your worst self.
And because life is a whole lot easier to stomach when all that has gone wrong for you, is someone else’s fault.

Let’s be honest here, that is what it was.

So when the price of eggs is $18, and your Latino neighbors have been deported or moved to some f’d up “camp” to pick the strawberries none of you will pick, and your miscarrying wife has to contend with sepsis before she’s allowed to have an abortion, and your autistic child is unable to get the early intervention they desperately need, please remember what it really was that you voted for.

Because I promise you the rest of us will never, ever forget.

KANCHANABURI - A calf wandered into a classroom at midday, causing the teacher and students to flee the unexpected visitor. The calf was said to have escaped from a nearby farm, to where it was safely escorted home.

Some netizens joked that the green-painted classroom might have reminded the calf of its food.

🚨If you think Robert Jenrick is wrong about leaving the ECHR please RT

If we want to avoid a dangerous chain of events which could one day see Britain joining Russia & Belarus as only European countries outside ECHR we need to constantly call out this insane Drumbeat to leave
