Wildflower meadows are beautiful; so beautiful in fact that a village in Britain has found they act as natural speed traps from motorists slowing down to look at them.
The village of Long Newnton in Gloucestershire has a problem with fast moving through-traffic between nearby towns. Almost all drivers moving through areas they frequent will break posted speed limits, and neither a 30 mile per hour limit, nor warning signs made any difference.
Officials first planted flowers along the roadside during the pandemic to help improve biodiversity.
But they noticed that as well as attracting more wildlife, motorists also slowed down when they passed the flowers.

capitalists will literally be like "it's cheaper to address homelessness by installing hostile architecture and hoping they all die rather than giving them a place to live" and bootlickers will be like "sounds good to me"

If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story.
Thank you, Willie Garson (February 20, 1964 – September 21, 2021) for your work as Mozzie in White Collar as well as your other iconic roles.

Just for once I’d like to tell the gate agents and flight attendants that my folding wheelchair is going into the onboard closet and not have them tell me there’s “no room”. Bitch that’s a wheelchair closet, not a “your bags” closet. Move your damn bags where they belong.

its just so... its not like i dont think ukraine is going through a horrible situation right now and i dont think all the solidarity with them is a bad thing or anything like that but its so sinister when you remember how little attention this would get if it was anything but a white country. where was palestine's somber chorus on snl? where was syria's moment of silence? why is israel still in eurovision? its just... its so transparent its not even funny.
