Wicker Galore! (1949) Life on a small Scottish island is changed forever after a ship full of wicker runs aground on the coast, and proves too much of a temptation of the local inhabitants.

This is a valid point: whenever you see this sort of high-pressure sales tactic turned on a technology, you can be CERTAIN that it's a fake—actually useful new tech sells itself!

And don't underestimate the effectiveness of FOMO as a tool in the hands of a con artist.

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.

Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars

The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.

Why aren't we doing this?

Here is Justin Smith, a Trump appeals court nominee, babbling his way through some nonresponsive talking points when asked what he means when he says "woke," which I assume is because he was silently, frantically running through all the truthful answers he knows he can't say in public

Matt Goodwin’s Lucrative Hungarian Fellowship Could Be in Line for the Chop Following Orbán’s Defeat The Orbán-controlled body for which the Reform UK and GB News commentator is a ‘visiting fellow’ is facing investigation over alleged misuse of public funds

Heart-breaking.

Look, if Duke wants to snuggle with his emotional support green beans, let him!

Now, to be fair to Foo Fighters... oh, I'm sorry, you already were, very fair, more than fair.

My biggest gripe with Linux is that there are no ads in the start menu, and I know I'm not alone.

The Pope is WEAK on crime is so gd funny; I am HOWLING

I’ll have what Hungary’s having.

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.

Why has nobody from the game industry protested the imprisonment of this brave and innovative game designer

Congratulations to Péter Magyar on a decisive election victory in Hungary.

The Hungarian people have chosen a new path. We are ready to work with you, and our European allies, to deepen our cooperation in trade, defence, and security.

Absolutely.

Volts is good on electrification / climate science.

The only president stupid enough to do it.

An embroidery hoop containing a sewn aerial view landscape. It depicts an apple orchard in bloom in the centre, allotments to the left and sheep in their field at the bottom. Train tracks go past the top of the orchard and allotment.

Sewn train tracks past an apple orchard (to the left).

An angled view of embroidered bushes and paths going through them leading to an orchard, allotment and fields.

'A simple (perfect) life' - my spring landscape is finally finished! An apple orchard in bloom, old railway, sheep with their lambs and an allotment being prepared for growing :) Zoom in to see all the other tiny details too... I think this might be my favourite aerial embroidery I've ever done!

we'll see how it shakes out over the course of years, but as of right now, mamdani is definitely showing how the future of good progressive governance means "use government to do good things and then post about it"

both parts are important!

looked up a cheat code on gamefaqs only to find out that I had posted it to the site myself 17 years ago

I mean, on one hand, there's being polite to trans people, and on the other, there's committing war crimes that will devastate the lives of millions of people and glorying in it. If you were a deeply committed and sincere Christian, wouldn't you also struggle to decide which is the lesser evil?

I imagine there's more to the comparison than just timespan since invention.

Incredible

make incompetence shameful again

A final thought: the most important, efficacious, & sizeable faction on the left is plain old normie Dems, "wine moms," "resistance libs," whatever condescending term you prefer. They're the ones doing the actual work. But they are largely ignored by media, because they're organized & led by women.

Ever wonder why most of the media provide wall-to-wall coverage of everything the far right does or says, while ignoring far bigger rallies and events and far more interesting discussions elsewhere on the political spectrum?
There's no mystery. It's because they want the far right to triumph.

But "ask people to feel guiltier about planes" does nothing. Building first-rate high-speed trains make a huge difference. The problems are structural and the effective responses are also structural. "Well, I just wish more people would try harder" I mean, sure, me too. But they won't.
