@DVLAgovuk - Hi. I submitted a (possibly minor) medical update several weeks ago but have yet to have any response. I had expected a simple rubber-stamping. My car insurance is shortly to be renewed but I am uncertain of my license status. Some advice would be helpful.

A belated exit post. I'm off to the other place. Come find me there.
(Not deactivating, however, as long as this hellscape remains the go-to place for contacting companies and councils obligated to stay here.)

"World's largest", eh? Mr Vonnegut begs to differ ...
"He had a penis eight hundred miles long and two hundred and ten miles in diameter, but practically all of it was in the fourth dimension."

This should be retitled:
"Publicity-seeking mathematicians fail to grasp critical concept of 'thought experiment' underpinning their discipline"

"Great" questioning @BBCr4today for not calling this out the way you should have done.

The word "resurrected" is doing a lot of heavy-lifting here ...

I expect this from #BigAgriculture but not the @FAO. Governments may want to dilute guidance locally, but the FAO shouldn't be doing it for them. We need our intergovernmental bodies to give unvarnished truth and not undermine each other (cf. @IPCC_CH) ...

As well as direct subsidies, these companies benefit from ignoring the costs of their #Externalities. That they then do as little as possible to make their business suitable for the future means we should cut them loose.

How's this "entitled scumbags sneering at the people clearing up their mess" vibe going for you? You're either completely deranged or have such a low opinion of your audience that you're assuming they've already forgotten that you paved the way for this mess. Or both, I suppose.
Prisoners popping champagne outside as they’re released early into society.
Pensioners sat inside wondering how they’ll get through winter without support.

Shameless poster plug at #ICOS2024SC - come see @chelseyabaker.bsky.social's poster on assessing the permanence of storage of #mCDR carbon! (You have to put up with me presenting it, however) 🌊 – at Versailles, France
