Why is the appeal to “traditional European values” always about xenophobia and patriarchy, and not dragging nobles off their horses and bludgeoning them with farming implements in a peasants’ revolt?
Each broom agent can spawn additional, autonomous broom agents, each with their own pails. This allows apprentices to accelerate monotonous water-fetching tasks and save their time and energy for more interesting and useful work
Not saying carbon capture will never work, but so far, well…
If you're telling me we should leave aside the ethical concerns for the moment, then you *know* that what you're advocating is terrible
People in the UK on a variable energy tariff are being *paid* to run their air conditioning!
A surplus of renewables means prices are currently negative.

Goodbye Radio 4 on Long Wave - the pre-internet way of keeping up via the car radio while on holidays in France. The shipping forecast will never sound the same again.
Because I didn't think through the order of these, JuneBug day 26 is a different kind of o dragonfly.
Just a bit of fun (and you should probably use a private browser window) but here's a "political compass for the 2020s" which judges you on a range of criteria and tells you which current political figure you're most like.
I got Zohran Mamdani; I suspect that if I'd been matched to Elon Musk, I wouldn't be sharing the quiz here 😂
Hey Stephen.
Stephen, I got Mark Carney.
I got Mark Carney, Stephen.
Is that good?
It seems good.
Who did you get?

Remarkable how incompetent the anti-Net Zero lot are. When scientists and politicians first made the case for climate change, they'd often time the press conferences for hot weather, knowing how superficial reporters and the public could be. Now, the antis have the whole thing arse over tit.

I ventured outside. 10pm and it's still 30+ degrees.
A surreal sight I don't think I've ever seen before: All grass is yellowed, flowers dead. Leaves that were green a few days ago are now orange/brown and so dry they crumble in your hand. It's like a wrong autumn out there.
This is my #tree
I planted it about 35 years ago.
It's not a great tree, it grows about 100 thorns for every pear it produces.
It was started from seed by my friend Harry (G7WJE SK). He gave it to me when it was about two years old.
The sparrows are loving it this year.

Good news - I ate'nt dead. (Apologies to Granny Weatherwax.)
Related good news - the portable split aircon is doing a decent job of keeping most of my house in the low 20s Celsius (low 70s F).
Bad news - the red weather warning now extends into Friday.
How the jobs figures pan out.
Net zero: massive new employment.
Return to fossil fuels: mass unemployment.
Don't ever let these grifters persuade you they have your interests at heart. They dance to the tune of their funders.

Someone left the comment "They don't know how to do anything if someone isn't actively bribing them and telling them what to do" and I'm going to remember that for the rest of my life.
