There's a global solar energy revolution happening led by China and it should have been one of the biggest stories of 2025.

While the US is committing to a suicide pact with fossil fuels, the rest of the world is leapfrogging into cheap nearly limitless energy.

Merry Christmas - too full, weather has been strangely sunny and warm. The view is beautiful and the food is abundant. Thinking of those who are less fortunate and wishing for a kinder year ahead.
A decorated lit Christmas tree in the left foreground, windows on the right showing the late evening light, reflections on Christmas lights and the outline of a shed Christmas dinner - overladen plate with, from right clockwise, roast duck with cranberry sauce, stuffing, pigs in blankets, spirit sprouts with chestnuts and bacon, parsnips, Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, bread sauce, prune & chocolate sauce. Red cabbage in the middle. All covered in gravy. Sunset silhouette of a distant hill with the outlines of trees on top

Malaysianising Christmas… chilli & lime mince pies with 2 year old, nicely matured homemade ginger & lemongrass mincemeat. A dollop of insanely thick Rodda’s clotted cream on the side. Brussels sprouts blanched & stir fried with garlic, ginger, spring onions, cili boh, rice wine & dried shrimp. 😋 🤤
Two distinctly homemade looking mince pies, one with a star topping and the other with a hedgehog topping on a white plate; dollop of thick clotted cream between them A smattering of Brussels sprouts, coated in stir fried aromatics and chilli A wire cooling rack on a stainless steel surface with mince pies lined up on top

An introduction to the reflective music of clear voiced Bianca Steck, supporting Tom McRae at Tolhuistuin last night. Beautifully accompanied by the harp - always appreciate uncommon instrumentation and orchestration.
Red light cuts a swathe across a harp to the left, the pillar facing towards the camera. The harpist, a tall woman dressed in black with long light brown hair, sits behind, her left hand visible plucking the strings. To the right a woman with dark brown hair sings into a microphone, playing a guitar. She is dressed in dark colours with a white T-shirt. Between and behind them are a small effects board and the outline of stage scaffolding, packing cases and staging.

Celebrating 25 years of @tommcraemusic.bsky.social the apatheist’s iconic first album at Tolhuistuin, Amsterdam last night with the full band and faithful familial fans. All-engrossing and beautiful as always listening to old familiar songs with hubby and bestie. A light in the darkness.
A stage from above POV audience stage left (if you’re British), golden light bathes the centre of the stage. Standing audience members cluster at the lip of the stage to the left. The railing of the balcony and theatre lights obscure the bottom right of the picture. On stage stands the singer songwriter musician, Tom McRae, dressed in dark denim jeans, black shirt and waistcoat with tan brown lace up shoes. He holds a guitar, looking down at it, standing on a patterned red piece of carpet with pedal boards, running order, floor monitor at his feet, microphone standing before him. Around him are the band, from left clockwise guitar / keyboards player, bass guitarist (behind them the sound / lighting desk), drummer, a keyboard and cellist. A line of guitars stands between him and the musicians behind. A glimmer of stage lights shine in the blackness above. Blue light washes a small section of stage. A guitar on a stand to the right. Light reflects off the edge of a bannister on the right foreground. A man, Tom McRae, stands in the middle at a keyboard, singing into a microphone (the song is 2nd Law which rarely gets played live with the introductory voiceover). The head and arm of obscured cellist, Oli Kraus, are to the front right of the keyboard.

Food options on the road to Amsterdam yesterday - we discovered moules et frites are about €10 cheaper than when they become mosselen en frietjes just across the border. It seems you can’t get a main meal for less than €24 in Belgium / the Netherlands unless you’re after fast food or a sarnie. 😕

We have a US administration trying to bully Ukrainians into accepting Russia’s proposal that their sovereignty be undone. Aside from the naked injustice of this, there are five basic practical reasons why it would make the world far more dangerous.

These are ham chim peng - originating from the Guangdong region. Kind of like doughnuts with red bean paste in them. We sold them at a Moon Festival event recently and only the Malaysians knew what they were. The HKers and mainland Chinese were oblivious. More in comments…

I served as our Ambassador in Ukraine for 3 years under Putin’s missiles and drones but resigned when Trump kept appeasing Putin. America does not bow to dictators. It’s not who we are.

Here's why this Trump-Putin so-called "peace plan" is a disaster:

It’s autumn. We have a new Fred in the front garden and I made pumpkin pie. Doesn’t come more wholesome than this
A plump brightly coloured pheasant stands on a gravel path next to overgrown grass, in front of an untidy border and wooden arch covered in honeysuckle vines. Golden sunlight bathes the scene. A slice of pumpkin pie dowsed in cream on a white plate, placed on a wooden table. The pie has a jagged golden crust. A hand holding a fork is in the background. A corner of a crumpled Malaysian ikat table runner is on the table to the rear left.

Genius idea
mc00.bsky.social Max Colbert @mc00.bsky.social · Jul 30
This is one of the best ideas I've heard in ages.
Reddit post on r/technology about young people and AI: "I recently heard about a teacher who instead of trying to circumvent students using AI, which is impossible, she made assignments by going "ask ChatGPT to write a report on this subject, and then research how and why it's wrong". Not only did the students discover that ChatGPT is extremely wrong a lot of the time, it also lead them to realise that they should not use it as a primary source".

"Keir Starmer has announced today that the UK will recognise a Palestinian state in September, unless Israel commits to a sustainable peace, and allows the UN to restart its humanitarian support to Gaza."

Why is it either/or?
UK to recognise Palestinian state
The Prime Minister said that the recognition of a Palestinian state would depend on an assessment made before the UN General Assembly meeting in September
