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

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

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

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.

Sometimes Scrutiny is about digging deep on an issue, sometimes it's just about getting that simple clarity. On the Cardiff Market restoration (to be completed Sept 2027) the Budget documents list the Welsh Government, the National Lottery and Council money but no Shared Prosperity Funding.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Donovan Mitchell:

Laughter: A Direct Path to No-Mind Laughing is a powerful spiritual practice. When you laugh deeply, you drop the mind, your boundaries dissolve, and a surge of life-energy flows through you. In that moment of pure laughter, thought stops — and you experience a glimpse of no-mind. — SPH Nithyanand

“I continue to organize and carry out asymmetric strikes against the Russian Federation. Since the new year, thank God, it’s already billions in losses. We won’t go into details.” — Vasyl Maliuk

If this country can find trillions for tax breaks for the rich and wars of choice, it can find the resources to guarantee paid leave for every worker in America.    Virginia led. Now Congress must act. Let's pass the FAMILY Act.

I have always liked the mnemonic “Nominal = No Meaning” because in nominal data the numbers don’t have special value, they just represent a noun. #stroke #neuronerds #nursingresearch #gradschool #nurses

The Justice Department announced that it was establishing a $1.776 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” after President Trump moved to dismiss a $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS over his leaked tax returns.

Take pity on the weak, defenseless, Republican creampuff. Boohoo, we're crying because he's so fragile and pitiful.

Donald Trump and the Epstein class are scared of us. They’re desperate to make us turn on each other, turn on immigrants, turn on our friends and family members. We won’t fall for it. We outnumber those scumbags, and we’re taking our country back. #NoKings

We're given life's roadmap before understanding it. We accept school lessons as truths but need to learn how to think, not what to think. True wisdom arises by questioning, not having answers. Prioritize unlearning and relearning to cultivate a personal mindset. 🌸🍃

And finally, here is the speedpaint~! They were both drawn in the same file, so, the speedpaint flips between them. Very miniscule gore warning for reference photos of deer that have dropped their antlers (not anywhere near as visceral as shedding velvet, but there's a tiny bit of visible blood).
