This is Minneapolis:
Walk into my neighborhood ACE last night & see the signage on their door notifying fed agents that it’s private property and cannot be used for immigration enforcement. These signs are all over the city.
Walk in & the nearest shelf has goggles & whistles.

Every day, every night, across the world, brave people stand up to tyranny, to dictators, to their murderous enforcers. Many of them don't live to see what they have achieved. Many of us owe our freedoms to them, directly or indirectly.
Tonight, spare a thought for them. They're out there. For us.

Last year, in France, 21% of new car purchases were petrol only and 20% were full electric. This year, electric will surpass petrol.
September 2025 was the month that electric car sales surpassed petrol.
There is now 1 public charging point per 11 EVs - the best in Europe.
What a moment!

If I take my full (but small) deferred local government pension at aged 60, it will get paid in full, with no deductions. If I wait until I'm 65, it will increase by 18p.
Per year.

Renee Nicole Good, the woman shot & killed by an ICE agent, had a young son whose father died in 2023, according to the Minnesota Star Tribune “There’s nobody else in his life,” the boy’s grandfather told the paper. “I’ll drive. I’ll fly. To come get my grandchild.”

Just did a thing on Facebook.
Open the app and go through the first 100 posts. Include in the 100 posts all groups, ads, company posts, media posts, anything.
Count how many of those posts are from people you are actual friends with.
I got 2.
2 out of 100.
WTF is the point of Facebook in 2026?
