Yes, we mustn't bespoil the beauty of the A40 as it majesically sweeps passed Eynsham.
God I hate these people.

Plans for an 8-bay EV charging station on the A40 at Eynsham have been turned down by local planners. West Oxfordshire District Council said “the proposal will be of an urban nature which will appear incongruous and result in a marked change in the character and appearance of the site”.

I loved this episode. Propaganda and its creators can be easy to believe until they start making claims about subjects where you have some knowledge, then you realise that if they are talking shit about that, then they might be talking shit about everything else. Thanks @podsavetheuk.crooked.com!

dear @support.bsky.team please please add better 2FA options: only having a code sent to email is a) annoying and b) no use at all if someone has taken over your email account. Please implement app-based 2FA and hardware tokens.

if labour want to destroy reform they don’t need to ban foreign donations, they need to ban outside earnings for mps. no way farage sticks around for a second term if he’s limited to just £80k/pa.

Dear @bsky.app, please, for the love of God, give us some more 2FA options than a code sent to email. If you've lost access to your email, you're stuffed, and the attacker who's taken over your email now also has control of your bsky account. This is really poor.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.
They run them bc people react to them the most.
If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.
It’s not easy and takes constant practice!
