Probably going to get some stick for this but we got one of those Chyna EVs everyone is going on about. Replaced a Q5. This car shouldn't be possible for £30k and, yes, I know its subsidised by the Chinese Communist Party. And I don't care. Lots of things are subsidised by dodgy people to get market share. I got a lease for £250 a month. Its loaded with tech and is pretty intuitive once you get used to the interface. I did try to live with a Mini Cooper but tip trips, elderly relatives and occasional 6’3 child & mates just didn’t work. Anyway, first long range EV trip yesterday down to London to visit the kids. A 200 mile roundtrip from Stratford to Fulham. Firstly, could prob have done it there & back by skin of my teeth but would have been very stressy. So stopped off at first service station on the way back up the motorway for a top up just to put 50 miles range over and above what I needed. Took 20 mins. So to Beaconsfield services for a pee & coffee which used up most of that time and the remainder chatting to other EV charger clients about how complicated chargers are - which *always happens*. Other EV drivers are the most sociable bunch. We're early adopters and therefore brave and interesting. Anyway, a super comfortable ride, listened to that really annoying Owen Jones Triggerpod interview and I am a total convert to EVs now. I charge on my drive most of the time so the cost of running this is minuscule and as fast charge technology develops and range increases to 400 miles can't seen a reason why I'd ever go back to petrol. You can abuse me now. And yes, its purple.

The standard explanation for Britain’s declining graduate wage premium is that higher education expanded too fast and too far. But similar expansions elsewhere have not produced the same outcome, writes John Burn-Murdoch. ft.trib.al/RvpW1Vg

This was supposed to be my last cycle. The alt season was supposed to retire me forever. I was ready to log out of life and disappear with generational wealth. But instead… you absolute maniacs ruined everything. You birthed Alon to extract liquidity. You let Fortnite influencers with Dorito fingers to rinse you. You let a black dude to steal the marketing funds. And instead of buying and holding real altcoins like civilized degenerates, you funneled ALL liquidity into meme coins. Now we’re all broke. Now we’re all coping. NOW WHAT?!
