The shockingly shit state of UK transport summed up in one short thread. But remember: “nobody needs a car”

IG's forthcoming wide-format competitor to @YouTube can't come soon enough. I'm so sick of YT's utterly garbage algo.

Residential cruise ship Odyssey enters lay-up in Cambodia amid soaring fuel costs After more than two years of sailing around the world, the residential cruise ship Odyssey has suspended operations in Sihanoukville, Cambodia. Operator says monthly fuel costs have risen from around $1,800 to $6,000–$8,000 per cabin in parts of Asia, prompting residents to disembark as the company pursues restructuring. According to #MarineTraffic data, the 196-metre, Bahamas-flagged vessel departed Sriracha Anchorage, Thailand, on 21 October and docked at Old Sihanoukville Port on 23 October, assisted by the tug Koh Takiev. She remains moored there. Over the past 12 months, Odyssey has travelled 35,885 nautical miles. However, her time underway fell to 34% over the last 30 days, compared with 51% across the past year, while her average speed decreased from 8.2 to 6.9 knots.

Spotted this first-gen #Skoda Octavia vRS on Marketplace. A rare car to see these days, especially in unmodified form. Doesn't look in bad shape, either. Done 126k and has a few advisories (and no mention of belt history), but up for just £2,000. Still a box I'd like to tick.

Having the United States sink to the bottom of the ocean on Trump's watch seems to be overdoing the symbolism, somehow
BREAKING: 'Florida's Okaloosa County has announced that the SS United States will be transformed to become the "World's Largest Artificial Reef" on Thursday, November 12, 2026.' The sinking will be livestreamed on thessus.com #ssunitedstates

‼️ EU governments approved a GDPR change to let companies train AI on Europeans' personal data without consent. It makes AI training a possible "legitimate interest", judged case by case. Parliament must still agree. Max Schrems calls it a "digital expropriation" of Europeans.

More importantly, why the hell is the UK importing its MARMALADE???? (I'm talking about the Scottish version, not the Portuguese original)
John Healey will remove import taxes on marmalade, gherkins and more than 100 products in a move to give families "breathing space" with the cost of living in the Budget. People can't put cheaper marmalade in their cars to get to work.

SCOOP: Broadcom CEO Hock Tan was getting impatient. He needed lenders to commit $40 billon in the largest AI debt deal ever—so Anthropic could afford TPUs—but some were getting cold feet. In the end, Broadcom’s CEO held 11th-hour talks with bank executives over the weekend to get them to finalize their commitments. Broadcom also agreed to higher interest rates on the loans, sweetening the deal. With @ajsaeedy @ mattwirz for @WSJ

NEW: Trump's ICE skipped bidding and gave Palantir a visa-vetting contract with no price disclosed. Palantir gave millions to Trump's ballroom.
