I don't think it's crazy to suspect that Iran's tepid response indicates that they successfully moved the necessary nuclear components and will now weaponize as quickly as they can. The lesson here is that they desperately need nuclear defense & they'll keep their heads down until they get it.

On són tots aquells de "en Trump será moltes coses però almenys no comença guerres"?

Hoy me ha venido a la cabeza: qué estarán pensando esos de "Trump será muchas cosas pero al menos no empieza guerras"?

Where are all those who kept saying "Trump has bad things but he never starts wars"?

if you've had a shitty week, here's the fantastic news you needed:

solar is SO efficient now that nothing else really comes close. Solar farms like this- under which other countries plant crops that thrive in the controlled bright shade- are the easy future.

this makes me sleep okay at night 😌

Solar + storage is now $104 per MWh in Las Vegas or similar regions for nearly 100% clean firm power. There is no way new nuclear can compete with this. Even new gas plants will struggle and that is assuming access to cheap gas over the life-cycle of the plant, which is kind of a crazy gamble TBH.

Batteries are so cheap now, solar power doesn’t sleep

Batteries are now cheap enough to make 24/7 solar power affordable, unlocking round-the-clock clean energy in the world’s sunniest cities.

I'm not joking when I say they want to enslave you, to impoverish you, to make your life miserable, even to kill you. It's a matter of survival: now you have the right to defend yourselves by any means.

A protestor in Turkey’s capital, Ankara, has a message for riot police and the Erdogan regime.

The bravery of the Turkish people tonight in the face of a brutal and violent crackdown is remarkable.

I always say the same: those people want to harm you, to enslave you, to even kill you. They don't care about anything except theirselves. Right of self-defense. You have the right to defend yourselves by any means.
