there's still a chance they'll find a doctor willing to prescribe the specific cocktail of soviet era steroids and chinese amphetamines that will turn him into an absolute political wild man even though it comes at a 70% risk of heart implosion

I have done this before on the motorway, pin cruise control on the limit and just roll but it's probably not worth it because people who were already going too fast will now be going too fast and swerving between lanes

Remember how the "retail theft crime wave" disappeared as soon as companies had to do their annual reports? That's because it's illegal to lie to shareholders.

Going to be about as cheerful as I'm ever going to get, because the simple reality is no matter how big the majority the next Government won't get a honeymoon. The Tory enshittification of everything is too deep and dangerous to allow it.

Try to remember that first day feeling. Not because you won't continue to experience the same benefits, but because if you're anything like me it will be very hard to describe how it "feels" after that first day. Absolutely fantastic. I'm very very pleased for you. It's been game changing for me.

Yip. We have some work about to begin at school which includes moving the water fountain but I have asked it just be capped as there is a boil water notice for the town and has been for 2 years with no sign of that changing any time soon. Bottled water is always available but sometimes kids forget.

Boot camps don't work.

For-profit prisons don't work.

Privatization-by-enshittification doesn't work.

But they ARE all obscenely profitable if you get in on the ground floor of the scam.

Pass it on.
