I sure hope so. Both our cars are electric now, our hot water is mostly heated by the sun, we have no gas in the house (heat pump), we donโ€™t fly, we have drastically reduced the meat in our diet,โ€ฆ perhaps itโ€™s all for nothing, but were damn well doing it anyway!

Genuine questions: could these people be in the pay of the regime? And would that, to use language some of them favour, make them both โ€˜economic migrantsโ€™ *and* โ€˜welfare scroungersโ€™?

As a vet who served in 3 wars, 2 of which were in the Middle East, I can say with a degree of certainty that Hegseth is a fucking moron.

If only humanity can survive the death throes of late-stage capitalism funded by the hydrocarbon oligarchy, the future of energy is bright.

Public service announcement: this is a FOSSIL FUEL CRISIS

Not an 'energy crisis'. People need energy: it keeps them alive. This is a crisis due to forced dependency on the most unreliable and unstable fuel product in human history.

THIS IS A FOSSIL FUEL CRISIS.

Farage will install a UK version of Project 2025, complete with UK ICE, deregulation on hazardous chemicals, reduction of food labelling standards, removal of abortion rights etc. Why? Because thatโ€™s what he is paid to do. If you vote for Reform then Brexit taught you nothing: youโ€™re still a mark.

We all misspeak. We're human. But when people misspeak and they don't immediately correct themselves, it's a behavior that's correlated with personalities who are significantly dishonest.
