What makes you think either City or Arsenal will win out from here?

Abundant energy for business Reinvigorating the private sector with rooftop solar

Good study by William & Peter Bisley: solar on 10% of NZ's available commercial & industrial roofs would cost $3b, earn $600m a year, and add 1.5 TWh of winter storage to the lakes โ€“ย the same amount of energy the cracked LNG scheme is supposed to deliver.

Crap result. Lots to worry about, but I can't be arsed getting too wound up, still a long way to go. Will read @arseblog.com later on (Andrew always seems to nail it at times like these) then switch off till Spurs. This feels a bit like 2-0 down after 10mins to Hull, plenty of time to put it right

Terrible result obviously. And lots of valid criticism being sired. But faarken he'll some of you need to go out for some fresh air

The drunk uncle theory.

You donโ€™t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows thereโ€™s safe people and better possibilities out there

Cubans turn to electric vehicles as US tightens oil blockade HAVANA, Feb 13 () - The rumble of 1959 Chevrolets, once the rhythmic heartbeat of Havana, is fading to โ€Œthe near silence of electric vehicles as the island โ€Œfaces its worst fuel shortage in years. For...

Why do the fascists want to keep you hooked on fossil fuels? Because it keeps them in power. If you don't need their fossil fuels, they lose a lot of that power. True for Putin, Trump and the Princes.

The smartest national security move now is to switch to renewables and electric transportation.

If you commit murder on camera & face no consequences the perception of the rule of law is shattered and at that point it makes sense to act accordingly.
Without consequences for murder there will be lawlessness in MN & soon more widely.
And this is what they want. an excuse for martial law

There are murder-squads executing people on the streets of America right now with the full support of the federal government.
How do we make it stop?
People are protesting in huge numbers and itโ€™s not making an impact. I despair at what comes next when people finally reach a breaking point.

The world should not come here. There should not be a World Cup here.
I spoke out against the last World Cup because of concerns I had about human rights violations and itโ€™s only right that I express the same concerns and condemnations now.

The amount of money that is currently going to fund immigration enforcement in the US is larger than the military budgets of every country in the world other than the US and China. We are witnessing a military assault on American cities by a wildly unpopular governing party.

People are being executed in the street over a problem that straight up does not exist and both parties are complicit in the lie
