Because of recent, er, discussions, let repeat me it once more time for those in the back:

Being an ally to a marginalized group means to LISTEN, first and foremost. Do NOT propose solutions in advance of actual data. People from marginalized groups have almost certainly thought about their […]

interior minister Alexander Dobrindt said on Wednesday,
after a spate of drone sightings believed to be Russian efforts to spy and intimidate.

"By 2030, variable renewables will generate almost 30% of global electricity supply, double today’s level. This calls for a rapid increase in flexibility and grid investment.

Curtailment & negative prices signal a lack of flexibility in electricity systems and/or a mismatch between supply and […]

If you’re a pound shop politician desperately angling for populist clout by claiming you’ve seen no white faces in some place you visited then I have some advice: If that’s truly what you’ve observed then it’s not evidence that BME migrants don’t “integrate”. It’s evidence that the whites won’t […]

8 Oct 2025 -- AZ Judge strikes down state policy requiring trans people to get surgery before they can update their legal ID changed to their correct sex. Reps passed a law banning such changes this year but it was vetoed by Dem Gov. Katie Hobbs. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social
Judge ends Arizona's "irrational" policy requiring surgery for updating gender markers - LGBTQ Nation
The requirement forced trans people into unnecessary surgeries or risked outing themselves in potentially dangerous situations.

Shithole America summed up:

“Supreme Court’s conservative majority on Tuesday seemed poised to rule for a Christian therapist who says her free speech rights are violated by a Colorado law barring fundamentalist bigots from forcing teenagers to change their sexual orientation or gender identity.”

So Kash Patel fires an FBI agent trainee with an outstanding service record in non-agent positions while he's mid-course at Quantico for the alleged "offense" of having a rainbow flag on his desk.

Anyone notice that Republicans no longer complain about "Cancel Culture" any more???

@ketanjoshi.co All those petrol stations taking out fuel pumps and reconfiguring to offer charging must be a figment of the imagination. The longevity of modern cars means that, even at 98.5% EV sales, it will take a decade for the overall fleet to change from ICE, but the most active part of […]

@2legged It’s a reminder that whenever politicians pursue a policy that is neither morally nor logically defensible then everything is twisted trying to maintain an impossible position. It’s like making a law that bricks should float in the air and then trying to hold the policy position by […]

@2legged M’lud my client cannot have knowingly committed the offence with the sign in question, being literally unable to have written it or known what someone else may have written. You must therefore dismiss the case against him, being unable to prove intent to the criminal standard.

The hope is of course that they progressively extend their coverage further and. I would combine it with other means of transport such as ‘bus there, train back’. I quite fancy the alternatives to always driving.
