    I have now seen two episodes of [#StrangePlanet](https://mastodon.social/tags/StrangePlanet), based on [@nathanwpyle](https://lemmy.world/c/nathanwpyle) 's comics.
  • I've watched 4 episodes, it sticks nicely to the theme and format of the original 4 panel cartoon. Me and my teen are thoroughly enjoying it, my wife on the other hand spends most of the episodes just looking confused.

  • You'll probably die while being t-boned by someone else sharing the same view as you, it's strange that your country's road safety record is far worse than any country that has been using roundabouts for decades.

  • inews.co.uk Ministers diverted £136m from electric car fund to Sizewell C nuclear project

    i's revelation comes as Rishi Sunak faces criticism for watering down some of the Government's green policies

    The Government diverted £136m away from its electric vehicle (EV) supply chain fund to the UK’s main nuclear reactor project Sizewell C, i can reveal.

    The Automotive Transformation Fund, a Government initiative designed to make it easier for car manufacturers to build and develop electric vehicles in the UK, spent just 5 per cent of its initially allocated funding in the year to March 2023, according to Government documents seen by i.

    Given an initial budget of £191m, just £7m was spent and 76 per cent of the funding arrangement was transferred to the Sizewell C project, the construction of the UK’s first new nuclear power station in more than 30 years.
