Seven solar companies most people haven’t heard of, are ALREADY providing more energy for the global economy than Exxon, Chevron, Shell, and BP: buff.ly/lFAMcbd

We have the solutions. Time to dump the oil economy and implement them. #ActOnClimate

If you gave me Elon Musk’s money, I’d have so many projects that I’d want to do. High speed rail from Eugene to Vancouver BC, a subway line from Magunson Park to Wallingford Ballard and Golden Gardens, build more housing.

What I would not be doing is scheming to get even more.

My wife and I had a chance to spend a few days in Vancouver last year and let me tell you…

This city feels like it’s from an alternate reality where the people don’t prioritize greed and selfishness over empathy and community.

We went home incredibly jealous of… well, everything.
It’s really important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of ACTUAL EVIDENCE that they’re better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced.

Safe bike-lanes mean business.

School pupils are to be taught how to tackle conspiracy theories, spot 'fake news' & root out misinformation. The Daily Mail, ajudged by Wikipedia to be an unreliable new source, is furious. You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to work out why.

Trump on President Xi: "During the meeting, he's here, and he's got about 6 people on each side. And every one of those people were at attention. And I made a comment to one of them and it got no response. And President Xi didn't let him. I said, I want my cabinet to behave like that."

this sort of learned helplessness is going to be extremely dangerous as it permeates adulthood - why bother to learn to drive if the car does it for you, why bother to learn medication interactions, why bother why bother why bother
I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.
Couldn’t agree more! Don’t let your brain be reprogrammed by a feed algorithm
No matter the platform you should have your default feed be reverse chron of who/what you follow and curate and diversify that feed.

You’ll be better informed and less prone to disinfo and group think.

This is a hill I will die on.

My perhaps controversial assessment is that when you share the propaganda of your enemies to call it out or to mock it… you’re still spreading their propaganda and maybe doing exactly what they hope you’ll do.

Great read from @iandunt.bsky.social on whether Starmer should stay or go, including the mystery of how, if you’re launching a popular climate, energy, and growth strategy, why wouldn’t you stage a press conference on it?

Wow!

So it's now 5 who recognise the experience and commitment of Jess Phillips, verses 5 who wants her out - a group which includes at least 1 which is working with Reform.

This is now nothing more than Reform trying to destroy the inquiry and undermine the Labour government.
Breaking - Five grooming gang survivors tell PM they will stay on panel only if Jess Phillips REMAINS in post.

They say Phillips has “devoted her life to hearing and amplifying the voices of women and girls who would have otherwise been unheard”.

Caerphilly apparently. I honestly, honestly despise this stuff. They have nothing to offer, nothing to say, nothing to hope for, nothing to aspire to, no solutions, nothing. Just hate and lies.
