On Thursday I attended Full Council remotely and asked the Cabinet Member about justifying staying on X and praised the community action we've seen in Minnesota in the last month.

Earlier this year I raised an issue at full Council that residents regularly talk to me about, potholes! The then Cabinet Member Norma Mackie spoke clearly about the work done so far and the plans for the future. I'm keen to see this new machine in action soon.

FOR Cardiff conducted a survey in 2023 that found one-in-five women do not go out after it gets dark in our city. I wanted to know what we were doing to make Cardiff a safe place for women.

We recently scrutinised the role of Cardiff's City Centre Wardens and I asked about how they react when major events come to our city like the rugby, Taylor Swift concerts and long Easter weekends.

At full Council I asked about the average cost of a pedestrian crossing, previously I've received answers from the Cabinet Member on a crossing not going in on Bridge Road prior to any larger transport plans, due to potential risk in altering it. I wanted to get a clear picture of that risk cost.

The decision by Microsoft to hide a substantive fee hike (42%) on the personal version of Office pass the exorbitant cost of AI word salad onto the user has been criticised by Chi Onwurah MP. As such, I am very glad that this is something that Cardiff Council is keeping a watch on.

The Economy and Culture Scrutiny Committee looked at Cardiff Council's Hubs & Library Strategy on Tues. My first Q was for more detail than initially given in the report, to easily see the areas that responded to the consultation. Fast, positive, response from Cabinet Member @09bridgey.bsky.social

Just to quickly follow-up, it really is an impressive sight to see the water cascading around.

On Tuesday the Economy and Culture Scrutiny Committee received an update on the Recommendations from our Filming Inquiry. It's promising that changes have been made but this progress needs keep going, so Cardiff is not only visually present in films & shows but fundamentally benefits from it.

It's never been easier to get a train on a Sunday from Danescourt to Cardiff Central.

Just now — @RepJeffries and the Congressional Black Caucus joined the call for athletes to boycott schools in states where Republicans are racially gerrymandering (like Tennessee) to strip Black folks of representation

Hezbollah ensures Israel can no longer hide its losses. Cheaply made FPV drones are crushing tanks & bases, inflicting soldier casualties in the 100s. Israel is now unable to hide its losses due to it all being caught on film. Robert Inlakesh on the implications of these new drone warfare tactics:

Ever wonder why a simple noise dispute can cost you $100,000? The legal system is a pay-to-win game where the richest person takes all. See why the law is no longer about finding the truth, but just a costly game of who puts on the best show.
