A picture showing energy production from solar panels along with consumption. The totals are 12.8 kwh consumed and 61.0 kwh produced, for a net export of 48.2 kwh.

This is what protects us from oil shocks (easier than going outside and taking a picture of our roof).

Strange. You'd think that the British people would be persuaded by such compelling arguments as 'we don't have a plan for regime change but a friend of a friend does' or 'Keir Starmer smells!'

It took Trump 10 days to create an energy crisis reminiscent of the 1970s, replace Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khamenei, and weaken our alliances worldwide. He put American servicemembers in harm’s way, resulting in seven deaths. None of this made you safer or better off.

... is some kind of hippy fantasy. It's a real testament to the fact that narratives in political discourse have very little to do with actual facts & events in the world, and indeed can sustain themselves indefinitely in the face of contrary facts & events! It's a sealed environment.

Sometimes I step back and marvel at the fact that VSPs in US politics have convinced themselves that nuclear—an industry that has been consistently stepping on its dick for over 60 years—is the serious and sober energy future, while solar, which is breaking records all around us ...

These are letters and drawings from children at the Dilley Detention Center in Texas.

Trump isn’t going after the “worst of the worst.” He’s going after kids — who should be home, in school, and playing with their friends.

Cream coloured Eur de Cologne dispensing machine, with slot for 100 Francs in coins.

Reading a book for my research project where the diarist says, in 1901, he bought Eau de Cologne from a dispensing machine at Weighton rail station. Probably a bit like this French one. @garethdennis.uk would no doubt approve.

Gasp! Who could possibly have seen this coming!

So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.

That's $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

Thousands of lives lost.

People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
