• When a landslip blocked the main road between Bath and Kelston, drivers suddenly faced a 14-mile detour.

    One local businessman decided to solve the problem himself.

    Mike Watts built a 400-meter private toll road across his land — without prior planning permission — and opened it to drivers.

    The road charged £2 (about $2.59) per vehicle, and within days over 100,000 cars had used it to bypass the long detour.

    Watts said the project cost around $390,000, which he financed by using his own home as collateral.

    The Kelston Toll Road operated for several weeks before closing once the original highway reopened and local authorities reviewed the project.

    One blocked road.
    One bold solution.

  • Jeff Daniels, famous for his unfiltered and often deeply principled characters like Will McAvoy in The Newsroom, has hit out at Trump’s character in a recent series of interviews.

    While promoting his recent projects and reflecting on the current state of American leadership, Daniels argued that the presidency should represent the "best of us," rather than the "worst." He expressed that the current political climate has shifted away from basic human decency and toward a "bullying" style of leadership that he finds fundamentally un-American.

  • Patrick Bateman if he joined the Arab Revolt (1916) The Vibe: Imagine a "Corporate Psycho" but in a desert tent. He's obsessed with tribal prestige and "Drip" instead of business cards.

  • Slovenia has reportedly become the first EU country to ban Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from entering the country.

    The move follows an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court over alleged war crimes related to Israel’s military campaign in Gaza. As an ICC member state, Slovenia would be legally required to detain Netanyahu if he entered the country.

    The decision marks a major diplomatic escalation — and could put pressure on other European nations to clarify whether they would enforce the same warrant.
