Why did Jaguar stop completely manufacturing ICE to concentrate setting up EV capabilities, whereas other luxury brands still produce ICE and EV cars side by side, plus hybrids - seems like betting all on Red

President Ramaphosa did an awesome job under very difficult circumstances. He showed himself to be the adult and diplomat in the room (along with the SA delegation) - we should be indebted to our President- I am very proud to be living in SA under his governance

It’s a very long way for countries to fly in their private jets 😳 - why can’t they do it online?

Question to my rowing friends - what happens when plastic rowing shells like Empachers reach the end of their life? Are they recycled? Or made into trendy bar furniture

This is a bit more of an issue - American lettuces have a longer shelf life than British ones - so maybe….

Why doesn’t Trump turn Pacific Palisades into a shopping centre/theme park. All the current residents that lost their homes can be re homed in Venezuela….

Whilst Trump whittles on about invading Greenland, making Gaza into an Amusement park… who remembers this map from the early 1980s when the decline of America was gaining steam - β€œThe World according to Ronald Reagan” I remember we had a poster of it stuck in our dorm room at UC San Diego

Elon Musk's call for Germany to 'move beyond' Nazi guilt is dangerous, Holocaust memorial chair says Musk made a virtual appearance at a campaign event for Germany’s far-right AfD party, saying β€œchildren should not be guilty of the sins of their parents.”

And to think musk advised his German audience to get over it..😒
