Remember: fossil fuel companies want people to focus on what uses so we don't talk about the supply side.

They benefit from spending time and energy bickering with one another about whether AI uses too much , whether to support more plants, whether we should mine more to have grid scale , and so forth.

That doesn't mean we can't talk about these things, but be where you spend your energy.

@adam fossil fuel companies hate wind and solar because their only cost is infrastructure, whereas fossil fuels have a constant need to be replaced.

Things I could do this coming week:

  1. Take the bus to the seaside and walk on the beach
  2. Take the bus to Biggertown and browse the charity shops
  3. Running
  4. Start my tapestry kit
  5. Follow a new path out to the woods
    Must try not to just lie in bed plotting my own demise

@purplepadma lie in bed plotting someone elses demise is also an option.

WEEK 31: Sorry for the Xitter link, but the police brutality on display here - clearly kneeling on protesters' bodies and punching them - is something else, even for German police.

but but but, if the Police do not hire brutal thugs, who else will employ them, think of the brutal thugs, happy as they finally have a job that aligns with their skillset.

Will no one think of the brutal thugs.

Having never had a smartphone (although, to be fully transparent, my wife does have one), I'm deriving a certain amount of amusement from the continuing rise in commentary on the health & wellbeing benefits of the 'dumb phone'.... which directly parallel my reasons for not wanting one in the first place.

Looking for #3goodthings about today.

  1. It’s World Tapir Day
  2. I bought some charmingly named chocolate mint at a garden centre
  3. We have fresh tuna steak for dinner

None of this makes me feel all that much better, but I’m trying

"When that old order fell, it took the form of a well-earned landslide, and a clear step towards something genuinely new. After a decade and a half, the Bute House Agreement breathed new life into those fading hopes. Now it seems more likely that real change will come crawling out of a tomb, in a faded red rosette"

@simon_brooke I suspect the SNP fracture lines will spit out 2 or 3 new factions. The right whingers will go alba, the centre, don't know and the left a Scottish socialist party that will Align strongly with the SGP.

Whether the yellowtories, red tories or blue tories will gain seats or power I do not know.

@fkamiah17 how are her life choices feminisms fault?

Not least as without feminism and its fight for equality, she would not have a newspaper coloumn to bemoan it in as a woman would not have been given one except under exceptional circumstances.

"wadaboutHamas?"

Report

Blinken understands US protesters’ passion, but questions their silence on Hamas.

Asked about the unfolding pro-Palestine protest movement at US universities, Blinken said he very much understands the students’ frustration & respects their right to demonstrate as a hallmark of our democracy.

"It is notable that there is silence about Hamas”.

..

@Thebratdragon@mastodon.scot avatar

@DrALJONES because Hamas are not using American made weapons paid fro with American tax dollars to commit 200 days and counting of genocide....

Thebratdragon,
@Thebratdragon@mastodon.scot avatar

@DrALJONES well yes, tax revenue is used to pay back money borrowed (gov bonds) and interest, all new expenditure comes from the magic money tree that doesn't exist according to the tories, unless it is to create money for their pockets, see PPE et al.
