Thanks Elon, definitely "bad road design", at play here. Not the car's fault at all.

He definitely took young boys into his bedroom, locked the door and slept in the same bed as them. He admitted as much himself. He was in his forties at the time.
Whether he did what he was accused of will never be 100% proven as there's no other evidence than the testimony of the two victims, but their stories are so similar it seems fairly likely (unless they colluded), to be true. Furthermore, fact that they both maintain their stories despite having absolutely nothing to gain from it also lends creedance to their story. I loved MJ, I don't want it to be true, but my gut tells me that where there's smoke, there's fire.

SECRETLY Banning Older Cars - Making Sure You Can NOT Afford to Keep Them! (So we are building data centers?)
This is libertarian bullshit. In the UK we have had annual safety inspections for decades. It's called an MOT. They check to make sure your car is safe to drive, and as it's your car, you have to pay to fix it if it's faulty. If you fail your MOT then your mandatory insurance is void and you will face legal repercussions if you're caught driving without insurance. Cars are fucking dangerous enough with out having faulty brakes or bad wheel bearings or whatever, and of course you have to use approved parts because it's safer. I've been to states many times and I've always been bemused by some of the absolute shitheaps that you see getting driven around, doors falling off, no bonnet/hood, no fucking brake lights, bald tyres. You would not be able to drive that shit over here because cars like that are death traps. Tbh it's about time the US caught up on this shit. It's not about coercing people into buying new cars, it's to stop people getting needlessly hurt and property getting destoyed.

Official Discussion - Mutiny [SPOILERS]
Since some numpty at Amazon leaked this early I've already seen it and can confirm it is a perfect 5/7 Jason Statham movie.
Unlike all his other films he plays a mysterious loner with a good heart and links to the British special forces, who finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. Surrounded by villains, out for his blood, he is forced to kick and shoot several people in the head in order to rectify the quandary he finds himself in. He also has an outrageously attractive female sidekick to assist him. Truly unique.
