Sorry but Vatican giving a "fuck you" to Meloni and every other anti-renewables chud pol in Europe not only making clear they're now 100% fossil free electricity, from solar *agro-voltaics" makes me smile.

The Vatican Is First 100% Solar Country Via Agrivoltaics: Who Is Next?

i think social media in and of itself probably has been catastrophic for such movements, both because it exposes people intimately to them (who wouldn’t otherwise see them)….but also because it mitigates against such movements becoming competent

not really conservative enough to see eye to eye a lot of the time with people older than me. but enough to really doubt that most alternative movements in US could run a lemonade stand

The war on Venezuela isn’t about drugs, oil, or democracy
The war on Venezuela is a war for the (((Narwhal Freemasons))). In this 30 tweet thread I will give a verbose cry for psychiatric care.

when Bill's right these days he's really fucking right
For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.
If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

Jeffries says not to expect Democrats to pursue Hegseth impeachment over boat strikes
"Republicans will never allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor," he said.

Has anyone told the US energy industry just how hard they are going to get boned by Russian gas re-entering Europe? I guess oil patch guys are going to be spending even more time in the duck chair as Saudi and Russia get what they want from the admin.
