Dr Alan, check out the BYD Sealion DM-i 6 (Hybrid EV) or Sealion DM-i 7 (Full EV). They're SUVs, but the luggage space is big enough to sleep in. I'm getting about 2,600 kms a month on the Sealion 6, from a 40-litre tank and a weekly charge of 17 kWh (110 kms range full EV - way more as HEV). Magic!

This is about a survivor of rape then being persecuted.

But it's also about a politician destroying a citizen who criticised the politician.

We need to demand that defamation laws be weakened, as they only serve to shield the powerful.

Defamation laws hurt citizens & wreck our democracy

Reynolds is clearly intent on pursuing her vindictive, vendetta against a young rape victim clearly beyond what can reasonably regarded as sane. There is something evil at play here.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Do we really want 250,000 mirrored satellites in Low Earth Orbit? Hasn't the Starlink megaconstellation already done enough damage?
🧪 @mjibrown.bsky.social

A US startup plans to deliver ‘sunlight on demand’ after dark. Can it work – and would we want it to?

Satellites beaming sunlight down to Earth sound like science fiction – and they have astronomers very worried.

While the media and political class fixate on tinkering with superannuation, a new report finds that 1 in 7 Australians are living in #poverty.

And it's 1 in 6 children.

In such a wealthy nation, this is an obscene policy choice. #inequality #RaiseTheRate #auspol

Supertramp releases “Goodbye Stranger” 46 years ago today — a song Rick Davies wrote on his childhood piano.

Is it about a one-night stand, inspired by the band’s adventures on the road?

“Yeah, it is. It turned out to be that. I didn’t know what it was when I wrote it.”

These are agents who were sent AFTER the violent insurrection was well underway. Kash Patel issued a statement that said that after a fringe right wing outlet reported it falsely. But Trump chooses to run with the lie from them rather than the statement from his FBI Director.

Take it back from what?
These people are pathetic and constantly triggered.
They're too stupid to know Puerto Rico is part of the US, and Puerto Ricans are American citizens.
They control every part of the government, but they somehow need to "take the country back".

The people who want violent protests to happen are Trump, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth, Tom Homan, and other senior appointees in his admin. They are doing everything they possibly can to provoke people to violence and it is obvious that is what they hope for daily.

That is different from what the admin said. They claimed it was coming out of DOD R&D funds. Tariff money cannot be touched by the Trump Regime without congressional approval.

Last I checked the GOP controls all branches of our government.

Tweet from MeidasTouch: “Wow that’s crazy. Who’s running the federal government?”
Below, Acyn’s tweet quotes Rep. Mike Johnson: “If you look at polling, people’s faith in the federal government is at an all-time low. Why? Because they don’t see that it’s being done well.”
A C-SPAN screenshot shows Johnson speaking with another man standing beside him.

Tens of thousands of Palestinians are walking back to Gaza City as the Israeli military begins its withdrawal from the area following the ceasefire agreement.

Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum is there, watching what he described as ‘an endless tide of humans’.
