Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

Joking aside, every proposal for age verification and ID verification is a proposal to give your data to Palantir, and that needs to be rammed home to every EU commission, EP and national politician every time they spout that rubbish.

highly recommend this book by Adam Johnson of @citationspod.bsky.social, which soberly lays out the hard data of the discourse that center-left media has decided is acceptable, in which Palestinians are not allowed humanity

This is an example of the good that has come from social media. A vote like this would never have happened under the old media ecosystem.

Just reading about how Britain might have enough wind and solar energy to power everything with some left over this summer, and how the right-wing press are scrambling to work out how to present this as a bad thing

How about actually fixing the problem. Use cheap, secure, reliable renewables. They cost less, they can’t be blockaded, and their price doesn’t soar.

Lots of renewables made Spain’s electricity cheap, maybe try that?

I've had my Kia EV3 for almost a year now and it's been brilliant. This weekend I made a trip from Devon to Gloucestershire and back and got home with 150 miles of range left, which I replaced by plugging in to a 3 pin socket overnight

In a 2009 interview, The Plain Dealer music critic John Soeder asked Henley if he regretted writing the lines "So I called up the captain / 'Please bring me my wine' / He said, 'We haven't had that spirit here since 1969' because wines are fermented while spirits are distilled.

Henley responded:
Thanks for the tutorial and, no, you're not the first to bring this to my attention - and you're not the first to completely misinterpret the lyric and miss the metaphor. Believe me, I've consumed enough alcoholic beverages in my time to know how they are made and what the proper nomenclature is. But that line in the song has little or nothing to do with alcoholic beverages.
It's a sociopolitical statement. My only regret would be having to explain it in detail to you, which would defeat the purpose of using literary devices in songwriting and lower the discussion to some silly and irrelevant argument about chemical processes, 53]

This is from 2009 (Don Henley talking about Hotel California) & couldn’t be a better example of a critic stealing a living from someone with actual talent.

She left her agent because he was in the Epstein files, and just like that, there’s a bot-driven smear campaign.

Spain could be the only EU country to beat energy price hikes Spain spent the last six years investing heavily in wind and solar energy, leading to some of the cheapest power prices in Europe.

You only need to buy solar panels and wind turbines once, but you have to import oil and gas every day. Another way cheap reliable renewables are better.

The Justice For Hind Rajab Act is a historic bill to cut off US weapons to the Israeli unit that murdered Hind and, for the first time, hold US citizens in the Israeli army accountable if they were involved.

Thank you Senator Peter Welch for bringing Hind’s story to the Senate floor.

Spain invested heavily in clean energy over the last 6 years. Now, as gas prices rise, Spain has some of the lowest electricity costs on the continent.

In August 2025, Spain used zero coal — just 10 years ago it powered 25% of the country.

This is what energy independence actually looks like. 🌎
