Donald Trump on the Shale Insight podium

The addition of beads in a narrow cavity always carries an inherent risk of creating a moisture bridge. The external face is covered in a thick render so there is decent protection against water ingress. Perhaps external insulated render is the only practical (if wildly expensive) solution.
Analysis of a freezing mouldy wall. Bubbling paint and salt deposits on the surface of an old brick cavity wall which has been pumped full of insulation beads in the past. Existing 100 year old cavity walls - who knows what lurks inside.
Reading and acting on this post could well save your life.

The enthusiasm of most billionaire media outlets in the US and UK for Trump’s illegal assault on Iran is another reminder of how deranged, perverse and frankly psychopathic these organisations are.

If Spain, a NATO member state, can refuse to facilitate war, a neutral state has absolutely no excuse!
Ireland should not be used as an aircraft carrier for empire. Shannon is not a staging post for destruction. US military out of Shannon. US military out of Aldergrove!

Graphic with Stormont Parliament Buildings in the background. Large bold text reads ‘27% pay rise for MLAs - Is this fair?’ Green Party NI logo and imprint at the bottom.
‼️ Stop the 27% MLA pay rise.
NI civil servants accepted 9% over nearly two years. Teachers and healthcare workers fought for single-digit rises. Many public sector workers are still waiting for anything fair.

petition calling on the UN to ban fossil fuel lobbyists from the Global Plastics Treaty negotiations. Companies like Shell make billions turning oil and gas into plastic - so they’re trying to sabotage the talks to protect their profits and block real action on plastic pollution. act.gp/3YxOUXa
This is what they have in the USA and what Nigel Farage wants to bring to the UK.
Hugo Chavez came to power in Venezuela in 1999, 14 years later in 2013 with Venezuela's GDP having more than tripled the USA boycotted Venezuela because all of S.America was going to go Socialist and throw US thieves out
Don't talk of Socialist failure, it is Capitalist sabotage
The US has declared Cuba an "unusual and extraordinary threat", authorising new sanctions and tightening its illegal blockade.
Trump is trying to starve Cuba into submission — and millions of people will suffer.
This is economic warfare, plain and simple. Hands off Cuba!
And of course, I stole all the water from a 3rd world village to make mine.
Board of Peace - Season 1
1. This short thread is about the issue that dominates almost every aspect of politics, and causes or exacerbates most of our problems: the extreme wealth of a small number of people. Here’s the amazing thing: almost the entire political class aligns with the ultra-rich against the rest. 🧵1/10
This is a truly horrifying account of increasingly likely collapse of essential natural systems which would bring mass food shortages, price rises & global disorder. Commissioned from UK intelligence chiefs but scandalously suppressed by Govt, & sneaked out now while attention is elsewhere 👇
🚨Now closing on 60,000 signatures! Let’s keep going!

The only liberty that the USA has ever had is for the richest Americans to do whatever the hell they like to the poorest Americans and the rest of the world.
It really is time everybody woke up and realized this is what American Liberty is.
'Gopal: Fortress America. A wall to keep climate refugees out. Increasing militarization of police. Continued corporate concentration, increasing criminalization of the less powerful, and a more and more inequitable distribution of and access to resources'
Andrew Boyd's interview with Gopal Dayaneni in his refreshing book I Want A Better Catastrophe (written before Tr*mp's second term) sums up how Republicans are currently behaving: They are acting how people driven by evil and greed would if they knew the threat of climate change was real.
Vote to stop the Mercusor deal. This is such a massive regressive step in climate change. The destruction of the Amazon to expand beef production in Brazil so that it can be imported to the EU? Beef needs to be radically actively reduced full stop.

A screenshot of a tweet on a black background from an account named “Tiberius” (@ecomarxi), shown with a verified checkmark. The white text reads: “There is no number of immigrants that you can deport that will solve the problems capitalism has created. The centralisation of wealth and power and the disenfranchisement of the working class is an operation of capital, not labour. Immigrants aren’t the problem, the rich are.”
@ecomarxi.bsky.social
Immigrants didn’t hollow out wages or jack up rents and grocery prices, capital did.
Scapegoats are easier and cheaper than solutions. Distraction is a feature, not a bug.
If you’re mad about affordability, look up.
