what desperation looks like on MAGA state television.
When Wales generates green energy, the profits go straight to London 💸
In Scotland, Crown Estate profits are reinvested into local communities. Just imagine what Wales could achieve if we had the same powers!
It's time to devolve the #CrownEstate to #Wales ✊🏴
Pan mae Cymru’n cynhyrchu ynni gwyrdd, mae’r elw’n mynd yn syth i Lundain 💸
Yn yr Alban, mae elw Ystâd y Goron yn cael ei ail-fuddsoddi i mewn i gymunedau lleol. Dychmygwch beth allai #Cymru ei gyflawni pe bai gennym yr un pwerau!
Mae'n bryd datganoli Ystâd y Goron i Gymru ✊🏴
Residents, businesses and community groups are being invited to help shape future walking and cycling networks in Cardiff as the council prepares a legally required update to its active travel map

powerful hyper-religious men famously become peaceful when their mortal enemy kills their entire family
love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region
These are the 4 things AI can do well:
•Clean up your email inbox (badly)
•Give my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party
•Tell a 12 yr old to kill himself
•Incinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday
You can see why we need to base our economy around it
US-Israeli strikes on four oil facilities in Iran released oil and toxic fumes into the air, leading to hazardous rain. Residents have been told to stay indoors.

Less than two per cent of court time will be saved, even on the government’s own optimistic figures. www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/publication/...
I agree. I’ve been saying that very thing for years.
But there is no evidence that abolishing juries is going to make any meaningful difference to that problem.
I served in a jury last month, and understand more than ever how important it is to have the facts of a case judged by a panel of people with wide experiences.
