European gas is above €82/MWh - the highest since late 2022. Hormuz remains largely shut and gas storage is at 68% going into winter. None of this started in Europe but we pay for it. The only exit is using less gas. Heat pumps, electrified industry, insulation.

The air pollution in Italy is such a disaster. Why doesn't the government clean up these industries? The science is known, and the effects are clear. Turin, Milan, Brescia, Genoa and Verona -- all swimming in noxious ozone.
My “discover” feed has suddenly been filled with bullshit copy pasta from Twitter feel-good stories and stupid meme-ets. Make it stop.
Texas Tech is just a complete embarrassment these days.
James Talarico@jamestalarico.bsky.social · 3w agoKen Paxton got a $250,000 donation from the chair of Texas Tech’s Board of Regents. The next day, he threatened to sue the Big 12 to protect Brendan Sorsby, the Tech quarterback who was caught illegally betting on his games. Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in Texas.
