The BBC has a news special about a static situation in India. There is no new information about the sad plane crash, so why keep repeating the same stuff over and over?

Once again, @looknorthBBC is leading on a national topic. Are you too lazy to find local news? Are you too far down the rabbit hole that you have to find controversial subjects to air? Or are you just paid by some puppet master to have you strings yanked? Local only please.

@SBSIntermediary I expect that you will report this to the Information Commissioner's Office. This is inappropriate use of my personal data and the ICO needs to review this.

@SBSIntermediary I have received an email asking me to confirm my subscription to Broker Bulletins. I have not requested this, I am not a broker. I am not an intermediary. This has shaken my confidence in Skipton Building Society. I wonder if I should move my savings?

@chillly Thanks for getting in touch. The headline will have been amended and definitely not intended to be clickbait. Leave it with me and I'll take a look!

Hi @richardmadden. I wonder why in the BBC web site the article credited to you headlines as "not expecting more masts" when you mean telegraph poles? Poles and masts are very different. Did a sub editor write the headline or is it just clickbait?

Musk seems to like the letter X. He renamed this site to X, Space-X has one, and his Swasticar has a model X. So maybe he might like to add an X to the car company and call it Teslax. "When you see who the CEO is it scares the crap out of you."

Charity Commission website can't cope today, I can't even login. Sadly, this is not surprising.

@myGridGB do you have a Bluesky account? Many people are moving there from Xwitter to get away from this cesspit. If you don't have an account can you consider setting one up.

Why is @looknorthBBC repeating Trump's bollocks? He doesn't deserve any coverage on the Local News ™. Could it be that his right-wing, populist crap appeals to the presenter and editor?

@KiwiEV Nissan are in such deep financial trouble that I doubt and kind of development work will happen. If the merger with Honda goes ahead I suppose this could be launched as a 'new' Honda, but looks very bleak for Nissan.

@absolutelyamyyy I think it’s good in terms of running but should have been worded around possible harm to the child and protecting the child’s safety. Kids are loud. Leave off. Parents know when it’s out of control

@AntiEVidiots My car can, according to the spec, charge at 350KW. I have never seen more than 230KW, even with a conditioned battery. 230KW is really good and certainly useful, but shoving a third of a megaWatt down a wire many times a day takes some doing.

If this comes to fruition…and then becomes commonplace, would it mean those without a drive could be catered for? We know that range anxiety/requirement claims are largely hypothetical by now. autoexpress.co.uk/mercedes/cla/3…?

@latimeralder My EV isn't plugged into the mains as it drives along - it would need a long lead. I can choose to charge from renewable leccy.

If you are charging an EV right now, just think! Of your next 100 miles, 88 will be fossil fueled. 8 from firewood shipped across the Atlantic and just 5 will be from 'wind power'. But you have an EV to show us all that you're 'Saving the Planet'? You're only deluding yourself
Latimer Alder@latimeralder

What's making UK's electricity right now (05:55)? Gas (orange) = 88% After 20 years 'public investment' in Wind Power (ie chucking our money at green grifters) it can manage just 5% Gas is doing SEVENTEEN times more Solar's out The plan to #NetZero (=no gas) is nuts

@davidjamesdj According to the Fire Brigades, combustion engine vehicles are about 80 times more likely to be on fire than an EV. So of course it's a Tesla.

This is my final tweet. My content is deleted and the interesting folk here are unfollowed. You'll find me at bsky.app/profile/simonj… If you are one of the decent folk, come join us, you'll find it a much nicer place. If you are one of the other sort, don't bother #Xodus Bye!

@EatJust17767 @AntiEVidiots This seems to be a bot reply, because it misses the mark by some way. That's what I would expect from a 'disruptor' company like Just Eat. They only care about profit. Police enforcement is required.

Massive uptake in crime committed on illegal e-bikes and scooters. They shouldn’t even be on the roads under current legislation. Is it time for the Police to start taking enforcement? Or does the law need changing?

Hmmmm, it seems that Darktable doesn't yet read Canon R5 ii raw files. Actually it's the libraw library, but that is even worse. The libraw guys need to add it, test it and make it live, then darktable need to merge that version of libraw, then create a new release ... Bugger.

I know #EV is not for everyone and that’s fine of course, but why is there so much negativity for people who drive #electric ?🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m super lucky, sometimes I get to drive #EVs as part of my job. This week I got to try the #GV70 @Genesis_Europe and it is a stunning car. #bekind
