Condensation trails (contrails) from planes induce about as much warming as CO2 emissions from plane engines, although not every flight generates them. But it's something with a bit of planning and minimal cost - could be eliminated. 🧪

If broadcasters and streamers have to compete to pay ever higher prices to a monopolistic supplier, who reaps those benefits?
It's not the fkn consumer.
This man was Chancellor of the Exchequer & PM. No wonder the Tory govt was mired in corruption and catastrophic economic mismanagement.

You can call him an arsehole. And he is.
You can say this is wildly reckless and abhorrent. And it is.
But the race to make sure the ludicrous anti-migrant hysteria during the brexit campaign had absolutely nothing to do with the murder of an MP, when it did. Brought us here.

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

This Reform mayoral candidate just can’t stop questioning minority ethnic politicians’ loyalty to the UK. He’s done it over and over again. Nigel Farage should have sacked him two weeks ago. He must sack him now.
