Primm, Nevada fascinates me. A town which solely exists because it's on the way to Las Vegas, and which is now completely dying thanks to Las Vegas itself dying. Two of the three mega casinos have closed down, the third one probably on its last legs.

Spain train crash looks very different from that in Santiago de Compostela in 2013. Seems like a set of points caused a derailment on a straight section of track, which then caused the oncoming train in the opposite direction to crash into the derailed carriages.

Labour cancelling elections tells me one thing: anyone who does have an election coming up might not get another chance to get rid of their Labour representatives for a long time. So take it.

The double pardon really gives away the game. Adriana Camberos started her second round of fraud just weeks after her first pardon. She was charged, convicted, imprisoned…and pardoned again. Trump supporters are permitted unlimited crimes, while the rest of us can get beaten by the secret police.
President Trump quietly issued clemency grants this week, including to a California woman he had pardoned once before and a man whose daughter had donated millions to a Trump super PAC.

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open 'just to do quick research'
![You’ve got super fans pausing and zooming in on individuals frames of your documentary. One allegedly shows one of the Duffers with a ChatGPT tab open on their computer. In your presence, what did they use ChatGPT for?
I mean, are we even sure they had ChatGPT open?
I’m personally not, but the internet seems sure.
Well, there’s a lot of chatter where [social media users] are like, “We don’t really know, but we’re assuming.” But to me it’s like, doesn’t everybody have it open, to just do quick research?
I do.
How can you possibly write a storyline with 19 characters and use ChatGPT, I don’t even understand.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7t2urmt3i33jl6tjgiolio6g/bafkreidw2tmcr2ayq74oqmjm5pn2tdox6hlxnpqevhuqqj6oa7nsslx3oi@jpeg)

It needs to be compulsorily purchased, right now. It's not only an eyesore, it's a waste of what could be a bustling canalside. Same goes for the former Liaison chinese restaurant next to Oxford Castle.
Oxford City Council says it is urgently looking to intervene in Jericho Wharf – the canalside site sitting derelict for 18 years – and could consider compulsory purchase as a last resort. Cllr Ed Turner said he was “extremely frustrated by the lack of progress on the site”.

Thought episode 5 of Fallout season 2 was the best yet. Freeside looking great, Lucy continuing to act like the player-character, learning a lot more about Mr. House's various plans. A minor retcon for Vault 21 (and perhaps the Lucky 38).

This does admittedly look better than the existing building and architecturally similar to the Somerville College extension on Walton Street. I appreciate Brutalism often, but the Little Clarendon Street building is very boring Brutalism with little flair.
Detailed plans have been submitted for Oxford University’s new building between Wellington Square and Little Clarendon Street. It will replace the 1970s concrete building which is largely empty except for the Common Ground cafe and events space on the ground floor.

This is insanely unenforceable? Like a truly pointless law, how on Earth would it ever be possible to police it? The government is just too cowardly to take action against Elon Musk directly.
Alex Norris explaining that the govt is passing legislation that means if someone asks Grok to produce an image of a woman in a bikini they will be committing a criminal offence. Whereas when it comes to taking action against X, we're told thats a matter for Ofcom not the govt.

They're clearly very big fans of the Wehrmacht (saying the quiet part out loud).
Ukip have submitted a new logo and slogan to the Electoral Commission, swapping the £ pound sterling symbol for a cross, that looks very much like it is modelled on the Iron Cross used by Prussia & Germany 1871-1918 and Hitler's Nazi regime from 1933-45
