A flow chart shows 17.4 million leave voters in 2016, vs 16.1m remain. In 2025, 5 million of those people have died, and 3 million new voters have come of age. The result (plus some people changing their mind) is 19.8 million voters now back rejoin, versus just 11.7 million wanting to stay out.

Absolutely amazing chart from @peterkellner.bsky.social's piece in @thenewworldmag.bsky.social today:

That they poop NFT’s is just 👌

Uh-huh. So you’re creating new incentives for differences of opinion. Because why should politicians be the only ones to exploit that.

alas

Don’t @me but try asking ChatGPT? It’s often very good at this type of question.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Did you know that the term ‘jaywalking’ was invented by marketing companies hired by car manufacturers in the early 1900’s to shame pedestrians when cars started killing them? I didn’t. youtube.com/shorts/N8Xwk...

Oh sorry, that last image showing Venezuela having the world‘s largest reserves of oil is TOTALLY UNRELATED

According to the US State department Venezuela is a transit hub for about 10 to 13% of Colombian-produced cocaine that enters the United States. Almost all meth and fentanyl comes from Mexico, with China supplying chemicals.

But according to data shared by Coun. Rowena Santos — collected by speed cameras that were no longer distributing tickets but which were still capturing vehicle speeds - Brampton saw 71,258 speeding incidents from Nov. 16 to Nov. 22 in the areas where cameras were located. That compares to 31,581 incidents the week prior when the cameras were still distributing tickets.

so our government made a big deal about banning speed cameras but one city left theirs running to see what difference the ban would make and you are not going to believe this

Customers/users articulate problems.

PMs should provide solutions that are the best compromise between the needs of the user and the needs of the business.

Prototypes are much better than PRDs - use them whenever possible.

Wasserstoff-Autos: BMW erhält staatliche Förderung zur Entwicklung Hat der Einsatz von Wasserstoff eine Zukunft bei der Autoentwicklung? BMW glaubt nach wie vor daran. Jetzt erhält der Konzern eine staatliche Förderung für die Weiterentwicklung der Technologie.

German taxpayers are handing BMW €273m to once again attempt to push hydrogen-powered cars, when battery prices have once again dropped >50% in the past ~18 month and CATL is on its 5th-gen LFP battery.

CATL, BYD et al must be laughing all the way to the bank.

Sigh.

Pipelines that will be obsolete before completed is a waste of taxpayer money
The Asian market we're aiming those pipelines for are using less oil every year and converting their industries to electric
Solar and wind farms are where the action is

Sarah Kendzior on X: I’ve been suspended from BlueSky. I don’t know why. I wasn’t online much today, and the last things I posted were excerpts from my Substack newsletter articles. The suspension followed without explanation. It seems like a crackdown. If you enjoy my work and want to make sure you can access it, subscribe …

‼️ Why did you, @jay.bsky.team @support.bsky.team suspend the account of one of the most outspoken, independent and important critics of the Trump regime - my friend and colleague @sarahkendzior.bsky.social ? By cutting her off, you also endanger her. Reinstall her account NOW!
