Just look at this amazing roof structure.
This is Great Coxwell Barn - near Faringdon, in Oxfordshire . It was built in about 1300 to serve the farming interests of a monastery many miles away.
One can only marvel at the woodworking skills of those medieval carpenters, over 700 years ago.
William Morris was so impressed he took most of his visitors to nearby Kelmscott Manor to see it.

And there you have it. The President of the United States of America, urging Canadians to elect a person/party that will make Canada into the 51st State of the USA.

Unprecedented.
Unhinged.
Unwelcome.

#TheAmericanFascist is the American Putin.

What “great man” do you think he believes will hand Canada to him.

Vote like your Country depends on it!! 🗳️ 🇨🇦

What is 'bad' about income taxes Donald?

We each contribute according to our ability to pay to common funds to pay for common services; (defence policing health education welfare to name but a few).

The Mogg-brand 'Sovreign Individual' nonsense tries to cherry pick ('i don't consume that one!'), & Dumb Populism says simply 'i don't like paying so i'll vote for politicians who'll tell me i won't have to'.

The £$ you might get to 'keep' will be offset by private rates you'll pay to corporations

'Tesla is in worse shape than you think'. Report from CNN .

Carmakers producing gasoline vehicles need credits to comply with environmental regulations, which Tesla , as an EV manufacturer, can sell to them. Seems this income stream ($595m) is all that is presently keeping Tesla on the road.

Tesla is in worse shape than you think

How bad are things at Tesla? So bad that it would have lost money in the first three months of the year had it not been the sale of regulatory credits, credits that could be going away if the Trump administration gets its way on auto emissions rules.

A statement from the time of Brexit that is worth repeating. The people who voted for Brexit weren't all racists but you can bet that every racist voted for Brexit. I think the same thing applies to Reform.
The biggest thing that I wish people knew before starting their 1st tech job (probably most jobs) is that asking someone more experienced for the “answer” is what you should do as soon as you get stuck. It’s drilled into students that this is “cheating”, so this is a big change for new hires. The faster a new hire can unlearn that you’re not expected to do your own work without getting advice from others, the happier and more productive they will be in a team environment.
"Third: it’s always the constitution, stupid. One hallmark of authoritarianism is the erosion of constitutional law. It’s not about abstract legal theories – it’s about changing the rules of the state without formal approval. Donald Trump’s musings about a potential third term are a prime example. The US constitution clearly forbids it. But the very mention signals a willingness to operate outside the legal order. "
The "move fast and break things" era is over. "Move thoughtfully and fix things" is up.
