America has a written constitution, and it's about as useful as a brown paper bag in a storm.

Imagine if the President of the USA did the same.

Statement in Response to the Proposed Construction of the White House Ballroom | National Trust for Historic Preservation Today, the National Trust for Historic Preservation sent a letter to the National Capital Planning Commission, the National Park Service, and the Commission of Fine Arts regarding proposed constructio...

Fuck the Mentally Declining #Trump and #ICE 8647
That's going to be an eyesore from what I have been able to find. Current footprint of WH is 55000 sq feet Ballroom 90000 sq feet. Next guy just tear it down does not need permission

I design buildings. The ballroom is a monstrosity. The scale is completely out of kilter with the Whitehouse, an existing, historical heritage asset.

Let's face it. tRump is being deliberately provocative. He's saying, "f**k you, old America."

Is there leadership? I missed that bit.

Research shows that NS generates social profit: 1.33 billion euros This is according to a new study by Professor Dirk Schoenmaker (Rotterdam School of Managemen) and Wander Marijnissen of strategic consultancy firm ftrprf.

Dutch Railways: social profit of €1.33 billion, financial loss of €141 million. It delivers 11x (!!!!) more value to society than it costs.

Via:
social inclusion
increase in property values near stations;
welfare of employees and consumers;
productive use of travel time.

I thought tRump wanted to ban head coverings?

My main issue with @bsky.app is the American bias. Many of us joined Blue Sky because we are sick and tired of America, especially Dump.

So far, only 2.2 million ballots have been received regarding Prop 50.
Please circle back with your California crew and remind them to mail those ballots in, NO POSTAGE REQUIRED!!!!

TIME IS SHORT!!!!

....Or, give me their phone numbers and I'll call them! 🤣💙

Let's save our Democracy 🇺🇸

Eurasian Blue Tit (Cyanistes caeruleus): These 12cm (4.7in) little European & Asian birds usually nest in holes in trees. Adults develop a blue crown, white cheeks and yellow breast. Excellent head-on portrait of a Blue Tit by Tim Flach. #blue #tit #bluetit #bird #birds #wildlife #nature

Red Panda (Ailurus fulgens): Native to the Himalayas and South Western China, this mammal is about the size of a domestic cat and is mainly active from dusk to dawn. 🙂 It looks like its been a long week! #redpanda #nature #wildlife #bsky

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Here's an idea - go WWE. Grab Johnson, go full pile driver, and make him sign the order.

America has become one of the most pathetic countries in the world.

You know what gives me a rush these days? Writing truths that could make Trump come after me.

I don’t chase it, I savor it. Because that pulse of risk, that edge of defiance…that's what resistance feels like.

He hates any truth that isn't favorable to him. Our job is to provide him with plenty.

Exactly. Get in trouble with HMRC, and suddenly, can't access services until debt is paid.

Get in trouble with the law, driving licence revoked.

This is about consolidation of power and centralised control. Pre-cursor to a social credit score system. Its tech enabled totalitarianisn sold as convenience and efficiency.

Marvellous work from Poland - summit cancelled hours after Sikorski said Putin would be forced to land, and arrested, if he tried to pass through Polish airspace.

Reeves says economic damage caused by Brexit forcing her to take action in budget Chancellor, who is expected to announce tax rises and spending cuts, says effect of leaving bloc worse than predicted

This is misleading. Brexit has had a negative impact on SMEs and inflation.

However, the Chancellor's obsession with "balancing the budget" is a choice, not a necessity. It's a fiscal straightjacket that Reeves has chosen to wear.

He's a vile person.

Even the UK has lithium reserves. The issue is the time it would take to mobilise extraction and build processing plants. If we started today, the latter would take anywhere from 3 years plus.

Current stock levels outside China can be measured in weeks.

I'm guessing that's sarcasm 😉

The cost of private care is far more expensive compared to state provision.

Furthermore, many private care homes have failed inspections, and some have been closed down.

Putin really doesn’t want you to see this map!

In light blue, you can see Ukrainian courage and success, as well as Russian defeat.

In red, you can see European cowardice and failure.

Map by @thestudyofwar.bsky.social

Far more serious than people realise...the West has become fragmented and corrupted.

Today's headline: Reaper Reeves - reducing bureaucracy to unlock 6bl. The small print? She's meeting with foreign private equity firms to 'unlock' investment in care homes. One of those firms, HHK, runs a failing water company.

Define borrowing.

In my experience, Argentinians will do anything for money.

Aim them at the Whitey House
