Interesting take. I would have gone for "A known enemy of Putin suddenly dies in a plane crash over Russian airspace."

It has this already - see editions under the book. Some books have been added incorrectly as new books though.

Crooked House rebuild would be ‘very complicated and costly endeavour’
"Very complicated and costly endeavour". Make them do it. They need to be taught that "ooh, it seems to have caught fire after some dirt heaps appear to have fallen onto the access road" and "oh dear, the contractor got confused and knocked the whole thing down instead of just the unsafe bit", are not acceptable practices. They'll have to spend a large amount of time and money and will end up with still have a building on their land that they don't want there. Do it.

What is the silliest law that is still enforced where you live? Why do you think it still exists?
Something about weeing in a policeman's hat. There's another one about weeing behind a car as long as you have one hand on it.
Ooh, source: https://www.scotsman.com/news/politics/from-urinating-in-a-policemans-hat-to-wearing-your-sandals-near-to-the-queen-this-country-has-a-host-of-bizarre-legal-offences-2442321 Most other places say that policeman's hat one is nonsense though.

I feel sorry for men who have to wear pants
And skirts. They are soooo comfy, but it's not socially acceptable to go outside in one.

Even mainstream clothes are better in the woman's section. I was in Peacocks (fairly small cheap clothes shop - you can see most of what they've got by standing near the centre) and you can just tell where the men's clothes are by the sea of dull, boring shades with not a single thing showing any sign of colour at all, like the brightness is turned down to 1 on the telly. The style differences are minimal. Even the material is just awful scratchy fabric for the most part. Look over to the woman's section and it's a sea of colour, many more different styles (not that many, as I said, this is a small cheap shop), and if you touch anything it's instantly noticeable that the material is much better quality, softer. I don't get woman who wear men's clothes - why would you put yourself through that?

The next time you are trying to get one more thing into your suitcase, remember that the entire universe once fit into a pinpoint. So, it'll fit.
Did you pack this universe yourself?

I assume you're following from Mastodon? Unfortunately that's how Mastodon works with groups - you see boosts of every single comment on your feed.
You're better off with a Lemmy or Kbin account if you want to follow groups.

The Bedford mayoral election which happened after they changed these rules, resulted in the first Tory mayor there by only a handful of votes. They would never have won under STV.

Curious, how many users here actually use ActivityPub's capabilities to see other social media sites?

You can follow communities from Mastodon with format @[email protected] (ie replace the exclamation mark with an @). It's a miserable experience though. It's better to follow communities using Lemmy or Kbin (I'm not sure if Calckey works better).

Crooked House: Fire at 'wonkiest' pub treated as arson - police
I didn't realise it had been bulldozed. That's incredibly suspicious! They should be made to rebuild it - I think the West Midlands mayor suggested this too!

[Solved] How can I unmod myself?
Did you create the community? If so I think you need to "transfer community" to another mod first. You should then see the option to "leave mod team" where the trashcan icon is on your screenshot.
