We have the technology to both heat and cool homes and other buildings using air-to-air heat pumps, and to generate a lot more electricity than we need from sun, wind and water. What is lacking is the political will and the public demand for survival. Up to us to demand that our politicians act.

👀 A massive Ukrainian strike overnight hit Belgorod, Russia, setting fire to a Gazprom gas pipeline depot, the local airport, and a power plant. Meanwhile, NASA satellite data confirms major fires across the temporarily occupied Crimea.

Close bot networks. JFC @bsky.app edit button please!

Clearly it would be trivial from a technical standpoint to detect and close not networks on Xitter. Just as clearly impossible to do so, under current management. Because that's why he bought it. #ShutXitterDown now.

There’s a fight brewing in Brussels over who gets access to the trillions of search queries Europeans make on Google each year.

NEW: US Ambassador Pete Hoekstra hosted over a dozen far-right activists and right-wing media personalities at his ‘Fourth of July’ party in Ottawa this weekend The US Embassy says Freedom Convoy leader Tamara Lich, who was convicted on criminal charges last year, was accredited as a journalist

If you think the USG is not backing the efforts to stage renewed attempts like this (including in Ireland), Pete Hoekstra has just disabused you of that.

7/7 🇫🇷 🇳🇱 However, Dutch and French strawberries did not contain pesticide residues. All organic samples were pesticide-free. This shows that it is possible to grow strawberries without pesticides.

🔴 Overnight, rescue crews worked, clearing wreckage from hit high-rises in Kyiv. One of the war's largest Russian missile & drone assaults tragically killed 19 people and injured 58 others, including 7 children.

5/7 🚨 Why are these results concerning? 1️⃣No one should have to eat hazardous pesticides 2️⃣The EU does not assess the combined toxicity of multiple pesticide residues 3️⃣The EU is proposing to weaken pesticide rules, allowing unlimited the continued use of harmful pesticides

4/7 🇧🇪 🇭🇺 🇸🇮 🇮🇪 The most polluted samples came from Belgium, with up to 9 residues detected; Hungary & Slovenia (up to 8 residues); and Ireland (up to 7 residues detected).

3/7 🧬 Two of the most frequently identified pesticides are fludioxonil and cyprodinil, two endocrine disruptors that should have been banned under EU law.

The full report, available here, argues the chemicals industry has held far too much sway over the development of the Critical Chemicals Alliance: www.corporateeurope.org/en/2026/07/c...

EU's new Critical Chemicals Alliance 'a front for industries pushing for deregulation + relaxed pollution rules'. New report by @corporateeurope.org + @eeb.org says chemical firms make €billions in profits + don't need light touch pollution regs to stay afloat: share.google/AoEAChjsCSmY...

'...The authors argue...that instead of reducing hazardous chemicals, reducing dependence on fossil feedstocks + cutting overall production of petrochemicals + plastics, discussions have focused heavily on maintaining existing industrial capacity, investment support + deregulation.'

"Overturn this."

UEFA should really be using it to take their ball home after this competition The corrupt, bloated and pestilent FIFA withers without it, and a new international body would easily be set up.

UEFA and FIFA are constantly at each other's throat so this whole thing was basically a ginormous gift from Infantino to the UEFA.

Even UEFA seems to realize this bsky.app/profile/apvo...

The result was definitely divine justice. Trump's US gets its ass kicked AGAIN! Becoming something of a habit. Perhaps when the US again becomes a nation which respects rules, balances the needs of all parties instead of trying to crush & dominate everyone, maybe then it will start winning again.

My grandsons are that age and were incensed by Trump’s actions, even though they thought the red card was a big mistake.

Between 10 and 12 a child’s sense of justice is developed. I think they’ll see the corruption with even clearer eyes than adults and then do something about it.

Recently thinking somehow how are children perceiving the world where they see only vulgarity, filthy lies, brainwashing, deceptions, irrational hate etc - are they going to take the same track or does their juvenile idealism force them to rebel against such perversity???

Not sure we should care. The American coach could have left the player on the bench, which would have made a statement. Or the player could have taken his punishment like a man and said he wasn't going on. Neither of these happened. Instead, they went along with it.

They lost 5-1 to Belgium earlier this year. The Americans didn’t lose heart, they just lost to the better team.

As if the FIFA peace prize wasn't bad enough. The red card debacle meant that the USA team had little enthusiasm to win. If they won, they would be branded cheats and their success would always be called into question. Imagine that psychological pressure? ETTD.

Perhaps because the rest of the world is fed up with the shameless self-enrichment and narcissistic glorification of Trump? 🤭

I honestly feel bad for the US team. Most of them probably didn’t want this either, and a victory (obviously super unlikely) would have been tainted.

This was a small issue compared to what can happen if the entire world roots against the US in areas that matter much more than sports do. Too many Americans think that our President can treat the rest of the world poorly without any consequences, but that is not remotely sensible.

Signed the rest of the world + 2/3 of the population of the U.S.

Americans are now so used to their president cheating and breaking rules that many of them seem genuinely not to understand why the world was rooting for Belgium.

The World knows. Trump is dust in our eyes. Only problem is US Justice...
