Please give Zack Polanski 3 minutes to explain how our government is walking us into a nightmare.
And ask yourself this. Do you want *your* health data to be a weapon in the hands of Peter Thiel, an authoritarian of whom "unscrupulous" would be a generous description!
Say NO to Palantir. Vote Green!
Jewish communities are living in fear amid rising antisemitism, including these appalling arson attacks. We must confront this.
At the same time, antisemitism is being weaponised to shut down criticism of the Israeli government.
Both are true. Both deeply concerning. Both Antisemitic.
BENNET: Do you agree that 89% of children who died from flu were unvaccinated?
RFK Jr: I don't know the exact number
BENNET: That is the exact number, Secretary Kennedy
RFK Jr: *death growls*
BENNET: You took down the HHS communications promoting the flu vaccine. Do you regret that?
Reading people. Body language. Knowing how to connect with people totally unlike you and with different backgrounds and beliefs. Defusing tense situations. Gaining trust. High endurance, pain tolerance, and work ethic. Reaction time. Prioritizing order of execution. Anticipating people’s needs. Tons
Some tips on getting solar panels installed Get the funding in place. If upfront cash is an issue, check out the alternatives I’ve covered previously. Do some research. The SolarUK subreddit is excellent, as well as people like Gary Does Solar on YouTube. Search local solar installers near you. Make sure they are MCS registered (they will say so if they are and will be on the MCS database) Make a note of your energy usage over the year (in kwh). This will help with getting the right battery size. The advice is often to ‘max out’ the number of panels you can fit. Since labour and scaffolding is a big part of the cost, additional panels often add little to the overall cost. Get an in-person quote from a well-reviewed firm. They will tell you how many panels you can fit on your roof (there are also tools online where to help you approximate this) Go to 2-3 other well-reviewed firms to get more quotes Haggle, if you are so inclined Pick one. Book it in. Get on the right tariff in advance – one which offers cheap overnight rates. This will let you charge your battery cheaply for the next day’s usage, whether it’s sunny or not. Several offer nighttime rates of around 7p per kwh. Pick somewhere for the battery and inverter to go, either in a large cupboard or outside (keeping them in lofts is strongly discouraged now) Sort out energy exporting – as soon as you have a G99 export certificate your installer has (hopefully) got hold of, plus the MCS certificate, you can sign up for an export tariff, e.g. EDF, Octopus, Good Energy, Eon. For renters: start exploring plug-in solar. It’s coming soon (and is already possible with sign off from an electrician). Failing that, pester your landlord. It will boost their EPC and make your home a far nicer place to live.
I've written up some tips on installing solar panels in the UK if you're lucky enough to own your own home (and roof).
These are just tips that worked for me - I'm sure others will have more.
If it helps anyone at all I'll be delighted.
The moron just can't shut his fat face.
AOC represents EVERY WOMAN in America right now who is sick and tired of misogyny & misinformation.
She represents us and the rage we feel.
Impeachment, not the 25th. He is unfit for office, but his problems now are because he has surrounded himself with enablers and thinks he has no restrictions or consequences.
Dana Fash forgets to give the "context" that Netanyahu has an ICC warrant, but also I would love for somebody to give a consistent moral argument as to why Hamas is worse than the IDF. The only argument for this is if you inherently believe state actors are morally superior to nonstate actors.
There's only one perfect photo for this year's Earth Day, and it's this one that the Artemis II crew took. Happy Earth Day.

As so often, Wright is factually wrong.
Attitudinally, and just like Trump, he positions himself as an enemy of the planet.
Excellent piece by @modacitylife.com in today’s Guardian. Female leaders seem to have the drive to change cities by challenging the dominance of private vehicles and making them more pleasant places to live in.

Being anti-Netanyahu is not anti-Semitic. It’s anti-corruption, anti-genocide. It’s pro-peace.
Trump is finding out that leaders around the world are not as gullible and easy to manipulate as his cult base. And he seems genuinely surprised by that. That's the funny part.
Jerusalem Post: Despite a “ceasefire” the IDF is giving orders to open fire on everyone in Southern Lebanon trying to go home — “Even if the person is unarmed… based on the idea that there are no civilians left in Southern Lebanon.”

Not sure wtf we're doing but it definitely doesn't feel like winning.
A hiker in a pink jacket climbs up the trail with wind-sculpted rock towers rising behind. Two windows—one above the other—are between two of the towers.
Hiking up the Peek-a-boo Trail brought up close to countless windows, towers, and hoodoos of a seemingly fantastical imaginative world.

When Trump loses power, his assets should be liquidated and returned to the American people.
UK seeks EU deals on steel and EVs in push for closer economic ties. Agreements would aim to shield British industry from new steel tariffs and stricter rules on electric vehicles due in 2027. The Guardian, 19 April.
As part of efforts to improve the UK-EU relationship, the government are seeking agreements with the EU on steel and electric vehicles to avoid British businesses becoming disadvantaged.
The obvious solution to all of this? Rejoin the single market.
Andrew Lewin, MP for Welwyn Hatfield:
"There is overwhelming and consistent public support that's around 65 to 70%, because the British people recognise that our EU allies are important. They want to see young people have opportunities that have been taken away from those in the UK since Brexit".
A union that could be much stronger – I believe this would be a union of such countries as Norway, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, and Türkiye. These are four countries that the European Union is lacking... I know that the United Kingdom has left the European Union... But I still believe that these four countries would make the EU the strongest union in the world, with the best security in the world. We are not seeking an alternative. I simply believe that these four countries are very strong and would make the European Union stronger. Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President of Ukraine
The message from Volodymyr Zelenskyy is clear: the European Union is lacking the UK.
Britain's future is European. So is Ukraine's. 🇬🇧🤝🇪🇺🤝🇺🇦

"Palantir is not just a problem of profiteering from our national healthcare system— it's a fundamental threat to the democratic control of our public infrastructure + the privacy of every citizen. By giving our taxes to this company, we are aiding their operations everywhere."

“Farage rarely turns up to do his actual job. Yet he finds time to jet off around the world on his donor’s private plane and trouser half a million quid while families struggle. Reform are not on your side. They’re just in it for themselves”
It’s so obvious, it hurts.
