Laws are never equally enforced or applied especially when you have tons of investors money. It is a sad reality. bsky.app/profile/lonestartallb

@josemanuel the outcome is what keeps me afloat

If the story was about police prosecuting speeders when they're not actually speeding, that would be a good corruption angle. As it is, the entire scheme only exists because drivers cannot fucking drive at the speed limit.

This is ostensibly a story about small-town corruption. It is actually a story about American drivers and their widespread inability to adhere to a speed limit.

Email from AT&T.

We're very sorry your information was compromised along with *7.4 million* other people. We want you to know we take security and privacy _very seriously_. So here's a free year of credit monitoring and identity theft protection...

... from fucking Experian.

That's the first company I think of when I think of a company that takes security and privacy incredibly seriously. Yeah.

I'm sorry to say I find the new Taylor completely dull

@feld Yes, it's really not that unusual in modern cars. Tesla derangement syndrome is a thing.

@HebrideanHecate Did Kirstie miss the part where women have actually been arrested?

@c0debabe Parts? Do you have some kind of space-age water bottle? I am intrigued and need to know more.

@HebrideanHecate Consumerism and medicine have collided in the worst possible fucking way. I hate it.

It is the fantasy of the Guardianista to fuck off to another country with lower cost of living, and make a bit song and dance about it. It is not, however, the great conscientious move you think it is, because it is only possible due to privilege. Actual priivilege, not the Graun kind.

I have seen this reposted in many places, in a great example of not reading the article. It is much more complex than the Guardian slant wants it to appear. Average rent in BA is about half of what this guy was paying in London. Also - and this is key - he is there for work.
