There was much land that could be tended, and the industrial revolution needed workers, but the army was sitting around doing nothing, ready to defend the rich from their own people. Pretty much exactly like the US.

IKEA didn't build renewable generation to power 1.47 million homes because politicians told them to. They did it because the economics stacked up. With much of the investment already paid off, savings of over half a billion USD per year on electricity costs, the fundamentals become hard to ignore.

Average earnings per filled job and food price index changes, aka when employed people get grumpy

Watching Hunter speak so directly now, I wonder if he was given the same dogshit “shut up and say nothing” advice that so many others who went through political smear campaigns heard over the last few years. Advice from the 1990s.

Bro sent this photo of a green anole that just wandered up to him, and I'm sharing with you because there isn't enough lizardposting.

We need to think deeper: why is this unacceptable for a 17 year old but acceptable for an 18 year old - or a 57 year old? Age controls are not the real problem.

"Japan is building a wind and solar hybrid platform in the open ocean — so the two technologies can share a single foundation and generate power around the clock. It produces a more consistent 24-hour electricity output than either technology alone #ActOnClimate #Renewables #ClimateActionNow

each year I ask new students what they expect in a political leader. This year the expectations were startlingly modest: ‘To be honest’ To act for ‘people not donors’ Understand the Treaty/Te Tiriti -themes repeated over & over That corruption/constitution is a growing concern troubles me a lot

Increase lifespan and health while reducing fossil fuel dependence. New York, Paris and London can do it. So can Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland. Not everyone needs to drive a Ford Ranger! #nzpol #bikelife #waroncars

They know Billionaire has a B. Though ‘Illionaire’ would be a good descriptor for this man.

The amount of corruption in this administration is astounding.

Read past the headline. It seems no operational SMRs exist outside of a couple in Russia and perhaps one in China. Meantime solar, wind, tide, power & batteries, etc., do exist, and can rapidly, and I imagine more cheaply, be set up and used. There’s no waste to deal with.

If the Nobel committee won’t give Trump the Peace Prize for ending the most number of wars… maybe they’ll give it to him for ending one war the most number of times.

Meanwhile an excess of solar power supply in Australia has reduced peak power prices by 10%. Only one of these approaches is working for consumers.

Huh what a concept.

I will say that I think in 50 years' time it's going to be obvious how many things we thought were about something other than the pandemic but in fact were really about the pandemic.

Soon, we’ll hear the govt’s latest grand plan for the next Waitematā Harbour crossing. Most likely, a costly traffic tunnel…which won’t solve the real issues. Auckland deserves better—and Aucklanders deserve a real say, writes @patrickreynolds.bsky.social: www.greaterauckland.org.nz/2026/05/26/g...

“Bus passenger numbers in Auckland are back to levels not seen since before the Covid epidemic, due in part to the ongoing fuel crisis.” “Public transport advocates said the city & the gov’t should be capitalising on the chance to make the change permanent.” To be clear, EVERY CITY SHOULD DO THAT.

Why won’t we copy cheap things that work? Instead of expensive things that won’t?

Power bills in Australia are going down by up to 10% as renewables rollout displaces expensive gas. Sad to watch NZ govt grovel for dwindling interest in fossil fuel investment while this success story is going on right next door 🤷‍♂️ #auspol #nzpol #energy www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Which truth? The shocking predations of Apple's App Store racket haven't just driven up prices for consumers (although they have done that to a shocking degree); they also enabled the Zucks of the world to predate and extract shocking amounts of private data.

Think back on the power Apple holds over small publishers; Cupertino has compelled silence and obsequious deference through fear of App Store cancellation. This is coupled master marketing deflection. Apple opened up our address books and tracked our locations, but poses as their protectors.
