Tús maith, leath na hoibre!

I think if we have reached the stage where people are pretending not to understand what a "lawyer" is in order to attack Catherine Connolly, that they really do have very little on her

The historically volatile Texas grid was entirely stable this summer, despite extreme temperatures. Grid operators never once had to ask Texans to conserve energy or shut off their air conditioners.

Why? Solar & batteries. Want a stable grid? Try solar & batteries.

Solar and batteries had a record-setting, grid-stabilizing summer in…

Solar has set 17 power generation records in Texas so far this year, shoring up the grid alongside batteries as some gas plant developers step back.

please do something. anything. please at least today educate yourself about the Balfour Declaration (signed in 1917) and the Mandate for Palestine (drafted in 1919). it's been 100+ years. that's how far back this injustice goes. the world has watched for a century. it should not still be happening

Two Irish novelists have now done more to break the blockade and end man-made famine in Gaza than the entire UK government.

“I think you’re a decent person who’s being manipulated & misled by the media & the govt, who want us fighting each other instead of them. I think you can choose not to be led that way.”

An amazingly helpful way to converse with people caught up with far right views.

Well done @shonak.bsky.social

I just had a run in with a neighbour that I’m usually on reasonably good terms with. My kids play with her granddaughter. She has some odd views, and a number of things I disagree with but usually I bite my tongue and make nice. But today she started on about the boats

You can't fix offsets, because they're not really broken

They are designed from the ground up as a way for polluters to falsify climate action, and for disgustingly rich bankers to divert funds away from frontline communities

As long as fossil fuels exist, offsets will exist
