Remember guys, you can’t afford a gas rig, or a coal mine, or a nuclear power station, but you can afford to put some cheap solar panels on your roof.
That’s why the fossil fuel industry has spent billions trying to kill renewable energy.
The dealer needs to keep you addicted.
I mean, they won't. But we will.
I mean WHAT. IS. EVEN. HAPPENING. HERE. Also iOS: would you like me to take you to the App Store for every single link you click? You should definitely add more apps to the pile. That will help everything.
Like you guys, I don't have time for this shit.
Things I cannot believe are true in 2026 with nuclear winter just moments away:
1. I have to manually update the time on my 2023 BMW. You get SOFTWARE UPDATES, CAR.
2. I still have to edit my iOS home screen by moving little wiggling icons across multiple pages of apps. GIVE ME "MOVE TO."
EV cars on trademe
There are 2,300 EVs on trademe right now
Brand new ones from under $25k
Used from a couple of grand, even if its just a city run around leaf almost all of everyone's driving is able to be covered by that
Shorts were covered?
Crude oil prices, showing a very sharp increase in the last day, from around 65 to 101 dollars per barrel..
Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy.
This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis.
44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.
don’t forget to destroy your clocks tonight, walk away from your mortgage, just start driving, you’re free
til what should have been an incredibly obvious fact: that the us military is the single largest institutional consumer of fossil fuels on the planet
Unpopular opinion but gas prices have always been too low.
Cheap gas means urban sprawl, giant useless pick up trucks, shitty transit options, shitty rail options and dangerous or no bike & pedestrian options.
Oh and burning less gas means the climate apocalypse gets postponed
there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for
With all the smoke and mirrors out there, it's easy to forget that there is still a globe-spanning coalition of nations, representing billions of people, that want to strengthen global climate rules.
... jesus christ we live in such an age of miracles
This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

“A country that can instantly fund endless wars but debates every dime for healthcare and education doesn't have a budget issue--it has a values issue."
A billion dollars a day going towards the war in Iran so far.
Yeah. But he's a guy though.
After his insiders have cleared their short positions.
Translation: first stop jail, second stop hell.
very aspect of life in this country is designed so that people do not form bonds or relationships with other people, it's wild to watch in action. Never seen divide and conquer applied this rigorously to a domestic population that is not under foreign occupation
This is such a perfect metaphor for the moment we are in. A grid that is awash in low cost, clean power doesn’t need expensive, dirty coal. And the Trump administration is trying to force them to run the expensive stuff anyway. www.utilitydive.com/news/washing...
Dunno, he was probably thinking this is how Gianforte got to be governor.
(Seriously though he better go to fucking jail.)

Probably illegal collusion or something, I don't know. Apple News is the closest to that, I think. But there's got to be a better way (fully funded public media is part of that way though)
I understand media is a tough business. All too well. But the problem of paywalls is serious -- good information is often behind the wall and the lies and disinformation are free. (Not counting public media obviously.) So if you want to help inform your fellow human? POST. THE GIFT. LINK. 😘
Sometimes I think an explicit carbon tax might work for climate.
I'm old enough to remember when Trump pretended to care about whales, just long enough to try to kill wind power.
He couldn't hide what really lurked in the howling void of his soul all along: a feverish desire to ravage nature, just because he can. Many such cases, with him.
