Having read the government's Local Power Plan, it looks really cool. For the first time, communities will get help to set up their own clean energy projects. This will genuinely improve people's lives and will help national security too.

Battery costs down 60% in two years!! The economics of solar plus storage are tough to beat. The "businessman president" doesn't seem to understand that here in America. Everyone else does. And solar wins.

"Working in intelligence and making forecasts has made me very cautious,and especially regarding Russia, I wouldn’t make long forecasts, but no ray of optimism shines there. Brains have left, people are full of violence. They are willing to turn a blind eye to whatever evil." Andres Vosman, ex-EFIS

THEY ARE BUYING UP WAREHOUSES TO HOLD HUMAN BEINGS IN DETENTION INDEFINITELY. I feel crazy at how everyone is acting like this is normal. These are concentration camps being built right before our eyes. These buildings are not meant to house human beings. People will be caged like cattle and die.

Holy shit.

The Washington Post—for which I wrote editorials for nearly a decade—has closed its Kyiv bureau. @lawfaremedia.org has not—and we will not. We now employ more people in Kyiv than the Washington Post. Let me tell you about what we have done in Ukraine over the past year and why we are not leaving

Electric hydrofoils are quiet, emission-free and cheap to run. Proponents believe they could shift traffic from clogged roads to underused waterways. Some cities are putting those claims to the test

Good work. Just gonna remind everyone, as is included in the article, that Amazon owns Ring. So, please, do stop spending your money on Amazon, in any way! Thanks.

In 6 weeks, Minister O'Brien has fast-tracked LNG infrastructure, lifted the moratorium on data centres and the Dublin Airport passenger cap. All under the banner of 'strategic infrastructure'. Irresponsible moves that lock us into climate havoc and US dependency. www.rte.ie/news/politic...

I'm doing an adult education course at the moment. AI is rampant, obviously, but I was really shocked to find that more than one person in the class has named their chatbot. When I responded in amazement at this revelation, they were shocked that I was shocked.

Heartbreaking. A mom and her 11-year-old daughter were killed by Russia in Sloviansk today. Their home was destroyed completely by a Russian strike, and their bodies were found inside. 14 more people were injured by the strike, including a 7-year-old girl. Deepest condolences

And in men's sport, the practice of sex verification has not existed at all in the two and a half millennia since the story of Kallipateira.

In the entire history of formalised sex verification in women's sport from the 50s to the present day, do you know how many instances of men disguising themselves in order to sneak into women's sport they've found? Zero.
