Absolutely amazing: they've got so much solar in Australia that they need more people to use more of it, so the gov't has instructed energy retailers to offer *at least three hours of free power* during the middle of the day.

Lots of talk today about the demise of BlueSky. For whatever it's worth, it's been a boon to indie publishers like us. Twitter and Facebook have pretty much silenced us, so the engagement here has, and continues to be, wonderful.

It’s interesting to me that massive climate catastrophes barely make the news anymore.
There are massive fires across 7 Canadian provinces. Massive floods destroyed at least 5 lives and thousands of buildings in Australia. A Swiss town just got obliterated by a melting glacier.
