Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity
Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

1. In the wake on Mamdani’s win, we’ll see a lot more far right anti-urban sentiment. Here’s a thread on its roots and evolution.
The idea that the city is evil and corrupt, and the countryside innocent and pure, goes back a long way: to Theocritus in Alexandria, and to the Old Testament. 🧵

3. It was rescuscitated in the 1920s and 1930s by fascist movements. “Rural revivalism” was a major force in the emergence of fascism in Germany, Italy, France, the UK and elsewhere. In the UK it was fomented by the likes of Gerald Wallop, Jorian Jenks, Rolf Gardiner and Henry Williamson.

Zohran's success will hinge equally on what he is ABLE to do and how effectively he messages to voters when the federal govt of wealthy interests / police, etc in NYC deliberately sabotage things.

The full weight of western capitalism is about to laser focus on NYC. The robber barons failed to win and will panic. They will sabotage NYC because the system cannot allow Mamdani's term to be successful. They cannot allow people to believe things can be better. Your job now is to hold the line.

So pretty much everyone here was already purged or disappeared in the last year; this is just the official confirmation.
So I’ve been busy with a ton of other stuff, but basically, China just purged, basically all, of the senior leadership of the military - He Weidong was CMC Vice Chair, Miao Hua was head of the political department. Seeing some stuff about key branch leadership also going.

And also at some point, you may start to notice a lot of dead birds. Some of the HK first airders have on occasions tried to help poor little critters exposed to all that stuff in the air... but there are so many birds, so much poison, and too little time.

Since we're still on birbs, a strange bonus side note that probably matters only to me: For an event that's pivotal to the uprising, those few days arguably saw more doodles of birds dropping dead from teargas than art on the PolyU siege

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

And the cult of SOF is a real problem given that, if we've seen one thing in Ukraine, it is that in a near-peer conflict, highly-trained, ultra-elite infantry cost a lot to form and field but get shredded by firepower at exactly the same rate, if not faster than, regular infantry.
And this all starts right out of the academies or ROTC, are the top of the class going into arty or armor or logistics, no they’re all going to the 173rd airborne or ranger school, so you can see how the army has become so light infantry/SOF centric

Here's a few more photo studies (these are all transmasc people, so these are mostly t-dicks) but it's a good way to see how everything is connected. (Plus, I see folks drawing t-dick heads very separate from the labia, which usually only happens with surgery.) Go look at photos, please!
