The talking shit on socials is a feature not a bug

Just because you have a big country doesn't mean you can claim most functioning rail system. USA has the most km of track, but if you adjust to per capita it's 20th. That is a better judge

It's clearly designed to be big and impressive and "look at all the expensive help we are providing" while not actually aiming to resolve the situation. It's a distraction

The Windsors hide behind a technicality. The crown corporation is rich, not the family.

Well I think the stupidity of the proposal is summarised here:

There is also some doubt about the safety case for a ban. In London, which has the highest number of floating bus stops in the UK, statistics for 2020-22 showed that of 623 pedestrians injured after being struck by a bike, 0.6% of them – four in all – were hit at floating bus stops. None of these incidents appeared to have happened at a designated crossing point. Over the same period, 11,400 pedestrians and 15,000 cyclists were injured after being hit by motor vehicles.

And in 2024, Spotify will stop paying out songs which get less than 1000 streams in a year. Which means for me, as an artist in the early stages of my career, I am going to get paid nothing. I could get over 1000 streams on all my songs in total, but still get paid nothing. I could get 999 streams on a song one year and 999 streams on it the next year… and still get paid nothing.

As the author states in the previous paragraph, Spotify pays 0.003c per stream. I don't think the author has done the maths. 1000 streams equals 3c. He's complaining over not getting paid 3c as if that will fund his career

To see a list of all communities on an instance. Unless I'm being dumb, I don't see this feature yet. And a subscribe button next to each community in the list

At this point we need to assume they're Russian shills and the queer-friendly stuff is a ruse to have a fallback to always claim the moral high-ground
