Plus, rural folks are not major emitters, so it doesn’t really make much sense to even try to find meaningful emission savings there.

"On average, cities and large towns produce about four tonnes of CO2 per capita, compared with more than six tonnes elsewhere in the UK"

"between 1.5 to 3 gallons per mile", for those wondering

The classic "Buy a reputable brand, cut costs and coast along on the reputation until you can sell off all your shares and move on to another company". Bonus points for using legalised embezzlement share buyback.

Insert that FBI stat that 3/4 of terrorist attacks in the US are far right, 1/4 Islamist and 2% far left.

More often dictators take control of the church and use it for propaganda.

I'm skeptical about the 10 number, fruits and vegetables are plants.

Nah he'll declare that the United States has become a fascist dictatorship and probably spout some lies about election rigging.

Remember when Twitter (pre-Musk) said it couldn't ban Nazis because it would hit Republican politicians?

People talk a lot about the genericisation of brand names, but the branding of generic terms like this really annoys me.

I'll use the example I first noticed. A few years ago, the Conservative government was under criticism for the minimum wage being well under a living wage. In response, they brought in the National Living Wage, which was an increase to the minimum wage, but still under the actual living wage. However, because of the branding, it makes criticising it for not meeting the actual living wage more difficult, as you have to explain the difference between the two, and as the saying goes, "if you're explaining, you're losing".

R loves to make voting harder under the auspices of “fraud prevention”.

They say, while their supporters are the ones committing all of the fraud.

They're against anyone else indoctrinating children.

Crimea and Sevastopol both had majority votes for independence in 1991.

For anyone thinking of refusing to vote for Harris over Gaza: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_peace_plan

The submarine dock was in Sevastopol, which is Russian-occupied Ukraine rather than Russia.

I can’t wrap my head around how people can ignore all those red flags

They use threats and urgency to pressure people into paying faster that they realise it's a scam.

I only ever read one, and all I remember of that was some kids being chased into a church by some demons, who then burn it down to get to them. The kids are put on trial for "forcing" the demons to burn the church, and they have to convince their lawyer not to throw the case because he'll be executed if he wins.

Not a danger in the UK.

The cynical “Don’t idolize your politicians” line doesn’t teach people to read the tea leaves and pick better leadership. It just teaches them to throw up your hands and assume everyone is the same.

Saying all politicians are the same just rewards the worst politicians because it means they face no electoral penalty for their failings, and the better ones gain no electoral advantage from not stooping to those lows.
