This is worst aspect of individualistic capitalist organization: the shipping industry and several other industries know that their personal fortunes are at risk from market shifts and they protect those markets over the common good. Markets are a terrible way to run a civilization.

Ireland to offer €8.5k to drivers to scrap petrol or diesel cars “motorists who permanently scrap a vehicle more than 13 years old will qualify for a €5,000 scrappage allowance. This can be combined with the existing €3,500 EV purchase grant, bringing total support available to €8,500”

This why I use social media. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

I'll be out of the country, but please protest on my behalf.

Today is the first day of the year that smells and feels like summer in Bellingham and it's only June 1. Giddy up!

Even if climate change wasn't happening Even if burning fossil fuels didn't kill millions It would still make sense to invest in the green economy because these are the technologies of the future, and fossil fuels are the technologies of the past You don't sit out an industrial revolution

This and really every industry is based on generations of humans creating and learning... that's why we should have taxes that redistribute wealth to create a floor for human existence. The main role of govt should be to insure that a rising tide lifts all boats... not protect wealth hoarding.

It is bullshit that Americans cannot purchase Chinese EVs.

And a healthy planet. And jobs and food and health care. But greedy fuckers are ruining it.

I think we are missing a massive opportunity in electric vehicles that top out at about 40mph for cruising around town. They could be fun and social and just need enough cargo space for groceries. Hell, make them with bumpers so people can drive drunk. We could have an amazing existence...

Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad. Philosophy is wondering if that means ketchup is a smoothie.

Bravo #Spain - These achievements demonstrate how rapidly #renewabletechnologies are advancing and how modern power grids are increasingly capable of operating with very high levels of #cleanenergy generation www.reddit.com/r/RenewableE... #SolarPower #WindEnergy #ActOnClimate #Renewables

No no no... It's the new game, Hungry hungry observatories.

Turns out you can just buy a birthday cake any time and eat it yourself. Nobody checks.

It's posting about dead pets that really must be awful.

Capitalist are only job creators because they use property laws to hoard all the resources to prevent other people from working. Imagine if you could build a house anywhere or mine at any mine... people would get busy producing food and necessities... but that undercuts wealth accumulation.

The Government doesn't need to try force sick/disabled people into jobs that don't exist It needs to create jobs for the fit and well people who want to work but can't. The unemployment rate rose 200,000 in one year to nearly 2m, and that is ENTIRELY well/able people.

Fantastic rant by hasan piker on why the dems are cooked. I'm not telling you that you shouldn't vote democrat or think other people should vote Democrat I'm telling you this is why most Americans won't vote democrat. And the dems have to change to change get those votes youtu.be/fVYaSNsPM-k

Fuck Alpha male ideology! Boys, you want an intense love story and satisfaction in your love life? THIS IS WHO YOU SHOULD EMULATE, not losers like Andrew Tate or Testicular or whatever his name is...

China and Russia are leading the way in doing what the US promised it would do, but didn't: create a multi-polar world. Not voting or voting for Trump in protest seems to be working in one aspect: he is imploding the US empire. Im not mad about that. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/5/...

This fish passage work gives me life!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

MUTUAL AID REQUEST! Recently, Eva was assaulted and her jaw was broken. Some of you may know I have also suffered this same injury and it has impacted my whole life for decades, so I know that it's very important that Eva get good care. If you contribute $50+, I will send you signed book plates.

Lmao the light rail added a special message from Megan Rapinoe reminding you that Seattle is super gay so don’t be a homophobic twat while you’re here for the World Cup

The world’s largest sand battery got through Finland’s harshest winter in years. 2,000 tonnes of sand, heated to 500-600°C by cheap power, feeding district heating in Pornainen. And it worked. Result from one install: oil down 100%, emissions down 70%. Industrial process heat is the real prize.

I’m spending almost $1,000 a month on groceries for 4 people. 2 of those people are children who eat breakfast and lunch at school 5 days a week. I shop at the commissary primarily. Life is entirely too expensive.

I just want to reiterate for the unsure that this is absolutely perfect flipping the bird form. Guitar and piano players have huge advantages in this domain with their finger articulation but Bobby is crushing all the nuances here down to the amused but jaded expression Thumb tuckers: do better

Phantasma Realm games are gonna be lit.

Sometimes it feels like the US is controlled by people that want us dependent on fossil fuels.

The echo chamber deal bugs me because the challenge here is that there isn't a mature conservative opposition to constructively engage in dialog. Progressives debating libs is really where the conversation is at in terms of a chance for building a society.

Because the Iran war is the only war ever waged by an American president? 🧐

Bluesky AI mod is horny for USS Enterprise.

The thing about propaganda is sometimes it's true. Does it leave out numerous sins of the Iranian regime? yes. It's propaganda.

Hasan is 100% right. www.youtube.com/shorts/BtNPi...

Why are Liberals so obsessed with the handful of leftists that didn't vote for Harris instead of the tens of millions of centrists and conservatives that voted for Trump?

i love how dispensary people will be like “yeah this weed is super chill, great for morning wake and bake with coffee” and the jar says like 48%. you smoke 1 hit on a friday afternoon and wake up sunday morning naked in the woods, covered in blood next to a dead deer carcass. super chill.

Amazing that Andressen would intentionally publish something so deeply embarrassing for himself and our species.

I'm so confused... The Dems aren't leftists... so who is this mysterious political party? And since when are death squads the product of elected governments?

I will let Darwin do the heavy lifting here, thanks.

This prom is like 100x better than mine. How do these kids know all this dance music? It's like they've all been going to clubs for years.

Peak dad shit: I'm a prom chaperone and I just turned on all the lights 😂

I wish there was a bot that made a post when you blocked someone and then people could interact with it. "nice block yo!"

The thing about Angine de Poitrine is that I won't get to see a Jerry Band show in this life and that hurts me.

Russ will likely be my greatest sports experience. First, I loved him at Wisconsin. Then I loved him as a Seahawk. Then Trey wore his jersey-shirt my friend threw on stage. youtu.be/-PZyn79QRXk Then the Seahawks did the Wilson chant. Then the Seahawks won their first Lombardi. Surreal!!!

people all over the world starting to understand how it is possible to bankrupt a casino
