Your daily reminder according to Brexiteers the EU has been going to fail for 11,619 days.
The truth here is so ever relevant, is so simple and profound. I think I might pop it into my next book. Sharing yet again:
Nuclear is dead in Australia. First, it’s illegal. To legalize it, advocates would need to capture the House and the Senate, which won’t happen in this decade. But…

This is all of Australia's (NEM + WA) energy mix (12 month average). Renewables just surpassed 40% & coal is heading down towards 50% (at 52% currently). Because this is a rolling average, the current energy mix (annualized) is already below 50%. But we'll see it in the rolling average soon enough.

Indiana Rep Spartz (R): “You violated the law, you are not entitled to due process.” Dangerously ignorant. 🇺🇸
Since this has escaped containment and is reaching people unfamiliar with my work, no, this is not "pollyanna bullshit." As I said elsewhere — and write daily — things are bad and not getting better any time soon. The point is that the fight is worth it. And part of that fight is in the courts.

CATHOLICS - DEPORTATION IS EVIL Catholics claim the Church teaches that deportation is intrinsically evil. Rachel Amiri of "Where Peter Is" writes: "It is worth recalling that deportation is evil, and that Catholics affirm that all human beings possess a God-given right to migrate."
Trump's plan for mass deportation of migrants is a 'disgrace' - Pope
Francis previously said that Trump cannot be a Christian if he plans to build a wall to keep migrants from Mexico out.

One can laugh off the #Canada stuff because he’s talking about them joining voluntarily (which the GOP would never allow even if Canada did want it), but this natsec rhetoric in #Greenland sounds like #lebensraum.
#Dandadan fans help me out. In chapter 13 of the manga, Aira carries a cross (that turns out to be a lighter) and a "holy book." But it doesn't appear to be a Bible. It looks like it starts with an R, and it has a cover style that looks similar to what I've seen on copies of the Koran. What it is?
True, but Twitter may take years to lose it's relevance. The only question will be whether Elon gets $44b worth of power out of it.

Wow. @econoboi.bsky.social's Bluesky following is almost as big as on Twitter. Factor in the bot situation over there, and he probably has more (real) followers here.
