I wonder if everyone will do their utmost to cut the US out of supply chains?

NYT breaking alerts: All Trump, all the time

At a certain point, this constant barrage of threats has got to become exhausting for people, right? Is this what conservatives want? It’s a random Wednesday.

Should we tear down the Westway in London? Or should we make it a tram/bus/cycle/pedestrian exclusive route and have a tram along Euston Road (and continuing roads to Liverpool Street, not sure how far to go westwards)?

I at least hope they have San Francisco Service Permits for each route in SF!

The way that all buses in Greater Manchester not part of the Bee Network need GM Service Permits.

This would be the most extreme dystopia. Especially since Uber fares are totally unpredictable as it is.

Introducing Route Share: Uber’s More Affordable, More Predictable Commute Route Share offers savings of up to 50% compared to UberX—making it a budget-friendly way to get to and from work.

What is the point of the Uber #RouteShare service? Why shouldn't I just get a normal bus?

They have tried this before too with #UberHOP.

Apparently it's OK if only left-wing people are cancelled.

It is fucking insane that we had a decade of people complaining about the dangers of cancel culture, and now literally hundreds of thousands of people are being purged from government jobs for ideological reasons, but that is not cancel culture.

Likely true, I hope we can avoid reaching them.

A lot on the right wing seem unconcerned, unconcerned with the future (including their own future, as think tanks mostly have fairly young people).

@garethdennis.uk Will there be a reupload of the 30 July 2025 #Railnatter, as the upload didn't work (most of it had a green screen, though the audio worked). I gave up watching, I retried twice and it was still a failed upload.

I think that the Welsh summer is as warm as it is, and has been at least last year, are signs that the tipping point has been reached.

It is not lawful in most countries to comply with this.

NEW: Nathan Albers once co-owned a company that schemed to hire and conceal undocumented workers.

Now his company could make hundreds of millions from work on the nation's largest detention camp.

“The irony is thick,” said a former DHS official.

Why is the UK uniquely reluctant among Western nations to run non-sleeper overnight trains?

"Weather Machines are creating weather events including tornadoes, hurricanes, floods etc."

These conspiracy theories keep getting worse. They are FALSE & dangerous misinformation that is spreading throughout the internet.

These conspiracy theorists have no understanding in meteorology -- at all.

Seemingly, yes, or at least SCOTUS seems Supremely unwilling to do anything about it.

Trump apparently doesn’t care.

It might because Trump doesn’t care about following the law or the constitution. Otherwise he’d be in jail.

Surely this is unlawful and illegal, not that Trump seems to care?

Phones didn’t act as bus passes and payment cards then, nor was it as important as it is now to be able to instantly look up details.

So they should have to walk rather than get the bus to school? Sometimes the phone is their bus pass.

11.06.2025 06:23 — 👍 2    🔁 0    💬 2    📌 0

Inter alia, sometimes the phone is their bus ticket?

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.

There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

What are the deportation criteria - a colour chart? Accent checking?
