"Heat pumps just shift gas burning to the power station." Wrong. Even if 100% of electricity came from gas, a heat pump at SCOP 3.8 uses 51% less gas than a boiler. At a terrible SCOP 2.5, still 25% less. David MacKay made this point in 2008. The maths hasn't changed.

Thanks, Supreme Court. You're waking up the majority and radicalizing us. You're becoming more illegitimate by the day. Bring it.

Reminder: According to The Heritage Foundation’s own data, there have been fewer than 100 documented cases of non-citizens voting illegally in more than 40 years.

Jared Polis is so completely full of shit. His commutation of Tina Peters' sentence has nothing to do with freedom of speech. What a joke. What an insult to the law-abiding citizens of Colorado. What an assault on free and fair elections. An embarrassing profile in cowardice.

Unusual to see Trump mocked on social media in China during his visit, yet, says Erin Burnett, notoriously aggressive Chinese censors allowed the online ridicule of Trump go viral. Petty perhaps, but it reflects Beijing's approach to Trump and the confidence Xi projected to the world. h/t HuffPost

But the Roberts Court claims racism is gone from the US:

No, we shouldn't! #war

We're All Standing With Ted Lieu....

Drawn by Dr Seuss over 50 years ago.

The well-sourced article by a top columnist who regularly writes about human rights violations is not about Jews; it's about actions of the Israeli state, whose horrific behavior toward Palestinian prisoners is a matter of public record; it should be target of protests instead.

THANK YOU David Letterman & Stephen Colbert for a lifetime of smart satire, laughs, speaking truth to power & sending us to bed with a smile on our collective faces. You will be missed. 🙏 #EndOfAnEra

Israeli disinformation machine distorting the historical record.

Immediately after Nicholas Kristof's exposé on the systemic r-pe of Palestinians in Israeli prisons was published, Israeli-linked activists launched a counter-narrative to discredit his work. A 🧵on how Israel is fighting the media war against Kristof's column, aided by American mainstream media.

REP. @votegloriaj.bsky.social: “I was like this can’t be real, but it is. I went to the website… House Republicans are just big ol’ racists and don’t care who knows it.” Gloria confirms what we said — White male Dems (except Powell) still have committees, Black & Female Dems were removed.

Israel announced it’s quintupling its propaganda budget and now we’re seeing the news cycle actively manipulated to advance Israeli information interests, and we’re just expected to clap along and pretend we’re seeing real news stories about real things.

ICE is moving forward with its plans to convert commercial warehouses into mass detention camps which may become the largest prisons in the entire country. Initially, ICE planned to open the first one by now. That never happened. Now they’re targeting early next year.

Europe is moving to block Microsoft, Amazon, and Google from handling government health, financial, and legal data

Pedro Sánchez (Prime Minister of Spain): “Those who consider raising the flag of a state "incitement to hatred" have either lost their minds or been blinded by their own vileness. Lamine simply expressed the solidarity with Palestine felt by millions of Spaniards. Another reason to be proud of him”

Since the start of this war in Iran, more than 3,600 people have been killed and over 26,500 injured in Iran. In Lebanon, 2,700 people are dead and over a million are displaced. And Netanyahu says: “The war is not over.” We cannot continue to be complicit in Israel’s wars.

Solar energy haters are hilarious. "You don't generate power when the sun's not out." Yeah, no shit, but when it is out, my solar panels generate a shit-ton of energy -- way more than my house can use. We almost hit 1000% offset last week. Imagine that on a mass scale.

There is a statue of author Alex Haley in East Knoxville, TN. Knox County just removed Roots from all school libraries.

So Trump is dropping his $10B suit if we pay $1.7B for his friends? Fuck him!! A smaller illegal shakedown is still an illegal shakedown. POS criminal.

Frederick Douglass knew. "If left to their own devices," he said in 1866, "white Southerners, by unfriendly legislation, could make our liberty a delusion, a mockery." @sifill.bsky.social @hcrichardson.bsky.social @esglaude.bsky.social

9 years ago, Ted Koppel told FOX Hannity to his face that he was bad for America! It still stands today! youtube.com/watch?v=tmaK...

Do not stop talking about what these animals did to these children. The President of the United States and his friends belong in prison. #EpsteinFiles #ProudBlue #OneV1 #Pinks

While"🇮🇱"claims that Lamine Yamal incites hatred by waving a🇵🇸 flag, the Zionist army bombs civilian populations in southern Lebanon with chemical weapons of white phosphorus. The perpetual victimization of Zionism while perpetrating war crimes—never has a genocider in history been as cynical as "🇮🇱."

JD Vance: "There's a lot of fraud in the federal government – it's unbelievable how much you've been fleeced by your own government"

ABSOFREAKINLUTELY 💯%......

This is good… open.substack.com/pub/cmarmita...

and congress does nothing.

There are 10,000+ Palestinian hostages including 500 children and if Israel wanted to prove they weren't being horrifically abused, as every survivor and many IDF guards have said, then they would simply allow the Red Cross to visit them. But that would prove the torture, not disprove it.

Support the Democratic Candidate that will affirm they will either expand the Supreme Court or arrest the 6 judges for crimes against the country, corruption and bribe rulings!

Kaine: "The administration is refusing to allow members of this committee to see the OLC opinion stating the legal case for war. We've always that ability. We're being asked to fund a $1.5t budget. What are they hiding?"

France is mandating solar panels on every large commercial car park in the country — turning millions of square metres of idle asphalt into one of Europe's most productive clean energy assets. I have been mentioning this for months - they are shooting up on all the supermarket car parks.

Netanyahu is killing Palestinians. It's Genocide and this Administration is fine with it. Now they're doing the same in Lebanon. We shouldn't be giving bombs to Israel to kill people. Fucking bite me if you think differently.

Quite impressed with this young leader.

here they are loading it on Letterman's cybertruck

So, I'm not sure the US elections will happen, and if they do I'm not sure they'll be fair. I actually believe there was manipulation for the past three federal elections. I don't know if I will be able to vote as I have to mail my ballot. Overwhelming voting beats rigging.

Attorney: I’m a trial lawyer. I tried the case against Meta and Google in Los Angeles, the first social media addiction case decided by an American jury. The evidence that I saw in that case keeps me up at night.

The rush to silence Black voters ahead of the 2026 election is stone cold racism. It's Jim Crow 2.0.
