And a ridiculous number of politicians have jumped on the bandwagon too. It *really* does make you start to question the intellectual capabilities of these people.

Absolutely incredible. The Berlin police justified repeatedly brutally punching this Irish activist in the face and breaking their arm... ...because they said they were acting like Nazis. Yes, violently attacking protesters opposed to genocide has definitely rebutted that one!

Is Starmer actually the man to stand up against rampantly racist hard right populism? I'm not asking if he's achieved a net gain so far here, whether he's a net positive. Would you bet literally everything on him defeating fascism rather than meekly capitulating to it?

You can, yes. I still see people on iracing with controllers and even keyboards, and that's much more of a simulator. As long as you're just enjoying it, a controller will be fine.

Out of all the driving games I enjoy, Dirt Rally 2 has to be the one that gives me the most fun. It's a joy to get into. It's quite dated by modern day graphics but the physics and feel is spot on. However, the BMW M1 Procar is absolutely crazy. Rear wheel drive, 500bhp, on wet gravel. Nuts

I used my Beeline to get around the city. I’m so impressed with cycling in Paris. As a woman riding solo, I never once felt unsafe the cycle lanes are so well designed and protected that they create a real sense of freedom and ease. It’s such a refreshing experience to move through a busy city.

I can't read the firewalled detail but my understanding is, everyone gets their 'data' from the same places, then substitute their own analysis on top of it, usually headline grabbing. I assume the met office is an original source but even they show silly future predictions.
