The only reason where I can understand you have a car is if you have a family with small children, because then things get a lot easier.

Other than that a good cargo bike can do wonders in the city.

My greatest hear me out, a massive university in Baghdad build along the lines of the Abbasid House of Wisdom.

The instability of the past half a century has robbed the Arab world of its traditional centres of progress. Hoping and praying that someday things will improve!

Somehow I lived car free my whole life. At some point my dad had to sell his and we never hat the excess money to buy a new one. Getting the driving license was hard. But since carsharing got commonplace I am not even thinking about getting a car.

I can get everywhere I want. ❤️

I think it will be good for the Middle East when it's centres of culture, learning, ideas, and politics, are Damascus, Cairo, and Baghdad again. Instead of Riyadh, Doha, and Dubai.

I don't even own a car. lol. I live in a big city, I believe cars should be banned in cities, and since I live by what I preach, I do not own a car. I only use public transport to get around.
There are deeply-rooted characteristics of the identities offended by the renewable transition that include a strange pride of black smoke, soot, and used motor oil.

I've done most of my vehicles' regular maintenance (time permitting), and owning an EV now is just way better.

Wind will be Europe's renewables. We have the North Sea. Denmark is the world leader in the technology.
Wind turbines at $1000 a turn would be better financial decision

It's going to get really fucking ugly once the Saudis run out of money and people to sell their oil to. The capacity to produce enough food for 5 million people, in a country of 36 million. Not much of an economy. Lots of weapons. Lots of grudges. Saudi Arabia will be the next Congo.

by far the biggest indication that the renewables transformation is well on the road, is that the Saudis are having fiscal troubles

The most frustrating thing about the emerging Chinese dominance in the renewable energy sectors, is that this could have been the West. Specifically the U.S. This is where Obama was steering the U.S towards. And Trump butchered it. For no good reason.

Mao may have thought that political power comes from the barrel of a gun. But for 21st century China, political power could come from solar panels.
January 28, 2026 at 4:54 PM
I am... kinda joking, but also not. China will probably form some type of international organisation around renewables. Simply because they are so dominant in that sector by now.
1 billion dollars to join? Asking for a friend ...

Almost every reliable source from Iran that I follow is still posting videos and stories of atrocities committed by the regime; each worse than the last.

I’m afraid we still haven’t seen the full extent of the massacre in Iran.

As part of the E.U-Australia trade deal we should declare Orbán a criminal, and deport him to Australia.

There has indeed been an explosion at the Parchin military complex today. I haven’t heard anything about gunshots, and it’s unclear what actually happened.

I’m obviously not taking Mehr's statements as a reliable source of information.
@mobinkarami.bsky.social
More explosion and gunfire sounds have been reported, this time from Pārčīn south of Tehrān; Regime outlet Mehr News Agency is saying that they’re related to “routine practices”.
I have no idea what to make of these.

Australia has something that Europe really wants. The metals and uranium that can be mined in the Australian outback. So Europe is willing to offer much to Australians in a trade deal.
Wow. How does Canada sign up for that?
