Watched Hazbin Hotel season 1 episode 1 and it's not bad I suppose. Interesting deviation from the Bible by explicitly stating an equality between Adam and the first woman. Anyway I'm not in it for the politics; I just want to see kickass people (or demons) doing kickass stuff.

A historic turning point for clean heating in Europe: For the first time, in the first half of 2025 sales of heat pumps in Germany have surpassed those of gas boilers.
This is a big milestone, demonstrating that the transition away from fossil fuels in our buildings is not just a future ambition.
