A polite note to the driver of the white BMW with whom I (miraculously, by mere inches and milliseconds) avoided a collision when you came screeching around a blind bend in the lanes on my side of the road:

We drive on the left in the UK. As your car has UK plates, I hope and trust this is not new information to you.
There’s this One Neat Driving Trick called β€˜always be able to stop in the space that you can see’. Maybe try it some time?
Cunt.

#Jack endorsed a man that #Elon hosted on #Twitter. How much more obvious does it have to be?!

Jack is a fascist too. Start behaving and treating him accordingly.

people like to say "money can't buy happiness"

but 90% of my problems would instantly evaporate if i just didn't have to worry about cash all the goddamn time

if so much of the world wasn't gated behind fucking dollars

it's a lot easier to find happiness when you're not consistently stressed out about finances

I was excited to find out they have heat pump water heaters. And they don't cost that much more than gas heaters, and they're much more efficient - and basically free to run if you combine them with solar panels.
So, yeah, I'm excited.

I wish the world could get as excited about heat pumps as they are when the fruit company has announcements about new stuff
