Sy Abelman is just one of the most horrifying villains in all of cinema, in terms of who I think of most.

Way ahead in suburban rail, but sadly behind the other ginormous empty Anglosphere country in starting their high speed rail project between their largest cities also linking in their tiny federal capital.

In Europe, our electricity and our petrol are both twice as expensive as in the US, but our new cars average €30,000 instead of $50,000, so fuel price just isn't a consideration.

I emailed the Daily Express regarding their factually inaccurate article about Patricia Routledge.
I included as much evidence as I could that the quotes were fake.
This was their response.

He genuinely seems to think QI trivia is the ultimate result of curiosity when really, seeing things at that level feels deeply incurious.

🥳 I'm so so delighted that my motion for completely building East West Rail and fully electrifying it passed overwhelmingly at conference.

🙏 Huge huge thanks to @greenchloem.bsky.social , Ed Fraser and @benwheels.bsky.social for speaking in favour.

We have to accept that an individual train run by the British operator is an Avanto train in that case, right?
