Heat pumps are the most efficient heating technology ever invented.
They harvest and compress pre existing heat in the air, ground or water and transport it where it is needed.
That energy is all around us. It does not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz or any other geopolitical chokepoint.
Or, indeed, any time at all.
Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

Nigel Farage has "no idea" - if you don't believe me listen to Farage himself... 👇

BBC's Arabic radio service in Lebanon closed after 85 years as part of a £28.5m savings drive. 'Just months later, in October 2023, the Russian state-owned Sputnik news agency took over the frequency. Its news bulletin opened with “This is Moscow”, replacing the previous “This is London” intro.' 🙄
Ahem, I know a recent book about this also…

The hysterical reaction of certain commentators to today’s UK-EU agreement is something to behold.
The “surrender” of using e-gates when you go on holiday. The contempt for the “will of the people” of making education abroad more accessible. Rigorous debate is good. This nonsense is a waste of time.
Huh. There was a time this would’ve been global front page news for weeks.
This is both so funny and so fucking infuriating.
Exactly: make the case for the alternative, which is precisely Starmer’s skill. Baffling.
Every April, we celebrate Independent Bookstore Day to remind us how vital indie bookstores are to our communities and society. It’s a day of joy and solidarity, and significant financial impact for these bookstores. This year, Amazon is undercutting that with a “Book Sale” on the same day—a calculated move by a company that has already put half the bookstores in the country out of business, controls over 60% of the market and sells far more books than all indie bookstores combined. The people at Amazon responsible for the timing of their "Book Sale" should be ashamed, but they are shameless.
Man, this is a pretty fucking gross move from Amazon, huh? Good on @bookshop.org for not mincing words, though:
I would like to point out that in Ireland, the law has allowed people to self-identify for about ten years, and it’s been . . . fine. Society has not collapsed, public toilets are not battle zones, Harry Potter isn’t banned. People just got on with their lives.

More haste less speed, as my mother used to say
Congress could stop Trump’s tariff policy at a stroke.
This story is ultimately not about presidential power, but about congressional weakness.

Good luck, US, in launching your next military recruitment drive.
Sheen said "it seemed like a good thing to do. ... I still don't know who they are." 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
He did not know the identity of people's debts he paid off, he only knew where they lived and the kind of debt it was.

Interesting. I’m working on getting meta out of my life, on-going
Trump has now asked Elon Musk to examine US defence spending. Elon Musk’s companies have multi billion dollar contracts with the Department of Defense and are seeking more. The BBC’s Today Programme just reported the first part, without mentioning the second. Unacceptable
A street artist in DC is putting up these posters all over the city. I’d love to get one.
Tesla paid $0 in federal income tax last year.

2021: $0
2020: $0
2019: $0

Tesla reported $6.7 billion in profit in those years.
Can you imagine, you survive a place like Auschwitz only to see this in your old age? I'm SO ashamed of and disgusted by us as humans. It really is unbearable to witness. Yes, I know we must keep on fighting.
