I had it on my door as an early teenager. Also loved The Goonies poster. Bonus points to Struzan for his “I, Empire” cover for Angels & Airwaves, tho

Won’t be long now until our use of gas peaker plants is only required on rare occasions.

The clean energy transition in three charts On the left is the way California supplied power in 2022. By 2024 (middle chart) we can start to see the impact of more solar and battery storage on the grid. Carry this trend forward to see the future of electricity.

Very good news from the east of Germany, where the far-right (AfD) has its strongest base - the AfD got soundly defeated in two mayoral elections, in places where they were trying to use the presence of people seeking asylum as a decisive issue. Many voters rejected that outlook. That's hopeful.

Wieder ein schlechter Tag für die AfD im Osten.
Deklassiert in der OB-Stichwahl in Frankfurt (Oder) und sogar in Eisenhüttenstadt - wo sie sich echte Hoffnung machte - deutlich verloren.

This piece rightly points out that big numbers don't necessarily mean electoral success. However, there's this to be said about joiners - they are the tip of an iceberg and they represent the people who organise, canvas, serve on councils.

If the “Green surge” - sorry for the hyperbole - leads to more fact-based conversation on these issues, plus also pushback against imported US politics, then bring it on. I may even join.

Miller should watch the last half hour of Alex Garland’s Civil War. And so should Trump. He should also be reminded of what happened to Mussolini.

Hmmm, I see he’s a conspiracy theorist and espouses the great replacement theory. Which is kinda funny living in North Cornwall, with a whopping 0.2% black population and 96.8% white. Jenrick would love it here.

When he ran in the GE last year, he seemed to be a true believer. I’ll assume he’s on the Rupert Lowe side of batshit crazy.

Don't threaten us with a good time, Daily Express.
Image featuring a graphic from the Bradford District Green Party. The background is green with the Daily Express logo in the upper left and a photo of Zack Polanski speaking into a microphone on the right, holding a cartoon-style bundle of cash with a pound sign. Below, a mocked-up newspaper headline reads: “Zack Polanski wants to redistribute our money and turn Britain into a Left-wing haven.” At the bottom, the Green Party logo and web address Join.greenparty.org.uk are displayed.
