It’s nuts.
This is one of the strangest and most screwed-up stories I’ve worked on. www.londoncentric.media/p/tiktok-lon...
Who's secretly filming fake TikToks inside Londoners' homes?
We tracked down the viral video account invading people's houses to spread false claims about immigrants.

Greetings from Kyiv,
where power came back early this evening (not at night, as usual).
Such a joy to wash my hair not at midnight.
Just sharing this so you don’t take anything for granted.
Now, time for a warcoffee. Blessed small things.

I think witnessing Brexit as both insider & outsider had a profound effect on Mark Carney. His resolve in the face of the next stage of the attempted destabilisation of the West might even be described as a ‘Brexit benefit’!

“Danish citizens are organising a huge boycott that includes cancelling planned holidays in the US, cancelling subscriptions to on-demand services based in the US & more generally, recommending the use of EU services instead of those provided by American platforms.”
So, same as Canadians.

The last two weeks felt like a year.
Two massive attacks that left Kyiv cold and dark.
We switched to survival mode.
I’ve just realized I hardly read or learned anything in these two weeks that felt like a year.
Wow.
Survival mode put my curiosity into a cave.

The Trump disbelief that the Norwegian govt doesn't control the Nobel process is deeply indicative of his thinking. He can't conceive that an institution could (or should) be genuinely independent of coercion or political power. That's the change he represents.
Trump: "I should have gotten the Nobel prize for each war...I saved millions and millions of people...and don't let anyone tell you that Norway doesn't control the shots. It's in Norway. Norway controls the shots. It's a joke. They've lost such prestige.“

Inviting Vladimir Putin to join a “peace board” is the diplomatic equivalent of hiring an arsonist to run the fire department. You don’t build peace by empowering the very people who torch it.

We've spent ten years being proved right about all the things the loudest, biggest voices in the UK media insisted, often obnoxiously, we were wrong about. The real kicker is that there's no consolation whatsoever in being correct. Brexit, Putin, Johnson, Truss, Trump, Twitter, Netanyahu etc etc...

There was, of course, absolutely nothing to stop these Tories resigning when their own Party was literally in the middle of doing all the things they now claim to be so unhappy about.

No electricity at homes.
But this streetlight and two blue-and-yellow windows bring a smile.
Answering your possible question – no, streetlights are not always on during outages. Sometimes.
