a load-bearing component of “the magic of Christmas” is the invisible domestic labor of moms

i strongly, strongly believe that good writing is downstream of clear thinking and a strong understanding of the subject matter at hand. without fail, tortured writing comes from writers who don’t know and can’t think clearly about anything.
Oh man! This paragraph is brutal. The best thing about this review is it's not trying to be mean. It's just listing how bad the writing is.

The X-Files is genuinely a timelessly good show, because when not focusing on overarching conspiracy plot, they would really just focus on a single concept and quite crucially, it would cast an incredible actor to center the episode around who would be utterly god damn captivating to watch.

Amazing! We love to see it. Props to @risingtideaus.bsky.social for the massive effort in organising the entire People’s Blockade weekend, bringing activists from all over the country to fight climate change and the profiteering fossil fuel industry!
The NSW Socialists' forum on 'climate change and class war' ft. @purplepingers.bsky.social in conversation with Lily Campbell at Rising Tide in Newcastle yesterday drew quite a crowd. Wonderful to see so much interest in hearing a socialist perspective on the climate crisis. ❤️

People are (allegedly) mad about electricity bills, which are rising mainly from poles-and-wires costs, in part to connect computer warehouses. The best way to cut poles-and-wires costs is to intervene at the grid edge, so... maybe make tech companies' grid access contingent on doing that? 🤔
Today on Volts: a solo pod! This is just me talking, pulling together the strands -- the bits and pieces I've covered on pods over the last few years -- into a coherent narrative. Data centers, utilities, rising demand, politics ... this is, in my words, what's going on in energy world right now.
What's going on in electricity world?
Some thoughts on where we are in the electricity sector -- data centers, rising rates, etc. -- and a way forward that can benefit everyone.

This country seems to have a bottomless well of sympathy towards asset rich pensioners and only contempt for anyone under 50 who is putting half their income into paying their landlords fourth mortgage and a big chunk of the rest into skyrocketing bills.
Look it’s never nice to find yourself in a position of having to move when you don’t want to but given that due to the volatility of the London housing market I have had to move FIVE TIMES since 2020 I’m struggling to feel very sympathetic towards people whose ’problem’ is a paid off 2mil property.
