The fossil fuel industry has been lying to us for decades. Big oil needs to be treated like the tobacco industry and have to apply warnings to their products.

It's all bad but hadn't seen the bit where Farage says:

"The European Union is the prototype for the New World Order."

That is a seriously, deeply problematic term that taps into Illuminati and antisemitic conspiracy theories.

How the fuck did this man direct the course of our politics?

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?

That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

It's decided.

Europe is closing the tap on Russian fossil fuels once and for all.

Energy independence starts now.

President Zelenskyy states some obvious, but very important things.

One of them is Ukraine needing clear security guarantees to ensure it is protected from renewed aggression.

Odious, narcissistic, despot President, who thinks he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, has been holding talks with top advisors this week regarding potential US attacks on Venezuela in order to bring about regime change in yet another oil-rich nation.

“Put bluntly, net migration fell because 400,000 fewer foreigners arrived, and 200,000 more foreigners left the UK. This is precisely what Reform, the Mail, and the new, nastier Tory Party have claimed – again and again – they wanted to happen. And now that it has, they have ignored it entirely.”
The crazy right will never be satisfied about migration
Keir Starmer slashed net migration as the Mail and Farage demanded - and still got hammered for it

Funny how @zackpolanski.bsky.social suggesting a raft of policies to try and improve the lives of the vast majority is ‘fantasy economics’, but when Brexiteers were allowed to indulge their lunatic fantasies about leaving the EU it somehow became ‘The Will of the People’. 🦄🤔

The naked truth.
Sixteen years of fear, appeasement, and wishful thinking have brought us to this.

russia isn’t “seeking peace,” it’s openly threatening Europe with more war.

It wants to erase 🇺🇦, subjugate its people, and then move on to the next target.

Pretending otherwise is how wars grow.

It's subtle, but by repeatedly talking about "fifty years ago", Farage is implying he was 11 years old at the time of the allegations. But he wasn't - he was 17. Old enough to drive a car. Old enough to know the difference between racism and playground banter.
