Shocked. 79 is not young but it's just above the average life expectancy.
A wonderful actress, a style icon (when this term meant something) and one of the first to embrace aging "normally" (before it was "cool").
RIP Diane Keaton

@garethdennis.uk has there ever been an explosion of an electrified railcars transformer upon collision?
The rail company claims the former. Others propose that there were 2 explosions one of the transformers and one of illicitly transported hydrocarbons. Other claim it was only the latter.

@garethdennis.uk the Tempi saga continues.
Panos Routsi, grieving father, took the most extreme form of peaceful protest, to force the greek justice system to approve his son's exhumation and tox-exams: Hunger strike. For 23 days in front of Parliament. They approved his request today.

Ostensibly "Green" politicians/activists that shut down NPPs in favour of Hydrocarbons (OH BUT IT'S A TRANSITION TO "GREEN ENERGY") are a mixture of stupid and unintentionally evil that is so infuriating.

Some of my friends are trying to save a nuclear plant in Belgium from being closed by a French gas company. It provided 25% of all power in the country. Low carbon.

Would love to see press mentions from climate media for each of these countries. Particularly Denmark vs. Slovakia. I suspect there are 100 articles about Denmark for each 1 about Slovakia.

kinda crazy how every single “just give people enough money to afford some basic stuff” experiments yield the exact same positive results that everyone benefits from every time, huh

Anyway, back to toiling

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."
