The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

You are being misled about renewable energy technology.
YouTube video by Technology Connections You are being misled about renewable energy technology.

Superb video that explains exactly why the transition away from fossil fuels is the only sane path we can take. Plus a little dose of "WTF USA!?" at the end. Intelligent, articulate and clear enough for everyone to understand. Should be broadcast on US TV.

Thank you, that's good to hear. And I admit I've just seen a couple of his sessions and perhaps the attitude I've seen is purely just built in to the routine.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

โ€˜Absolute hellโ€™: Irishman with valid US work permit held by Ice since September Seamus Culleton has been in a detention facility in Texas for nearly five months despite having no criminal record

Anyone still labouring under impression that the US is still a functioning democracy and not on fast-track to becoming a fascist hellhole really should read this chilling piece by @klillington.bsky.social on an Irish victim of ICE thuggery.

If you're in Ireland wanting to watch figure skating, try TNT Sports. It's on later this evening. BBC has locked it away on iPlayer unfortunately.

Well this gets a repost simply because of the preamble, but the content of the post is actually well worth your time as well.

I really hope people don't turn back to bronze age myths; they haven't really helped us so far!

The real story of the FBI raid on Fulton County It's all about 2026 and 2028. Fulton County is the heart of โ€œBlacklanta.โ€ And Atlanta is the electoral heart of Georgia.ย And Georgia is the swingiest of swing states.

Perhaps instead of raiding Fulton County offices for voting slips, the FBI could raid the storage facility of the Epstein files instead.

A "minor electrical issue" made Air Force One turn back. I can't be the only one wishing it had been something more substantial.
