First time in history, an oil crisis isn’t strengthening the system—it’s accelerating the exit 1973, 1979, 2008… every shock reinforced oil This time? We’ve got an off-ramp: EVs, solar, batteries Crisis → electrify → less oil The system doesn’t recover… it gets replaced #Bettrification

Well, that was a good trip, 500 miles, London to Bradford for free from my solar, a single charge to 80% at a terrific @Fastned station pick up some stuff, and home great economy at motorway speeds

Bloody hell I'm a masochist! Over 20,000 steps walking around Paris on Thursday, and yesterday (Saturday) I accompanied some O/S visitors on a walking tour of the City of London

You may consider I should keep my nose out of American politics as I am a limey but this autopen thing seems to be very dodgy and likely to get bigger... Reckon the war (s) news may drown out our though

Why do I have to brush my teeth for 2 minutes (the same as a manual brush) with an electric brush that boasts squillions of brushes per second?

Easier said than done I know, & I'm glad it's not me but the majority #Iranian population need to find the courage to overthrow this totalitarian regime which they despise Perhaps a little bit of intelligence reporting who what where would be a start

Well I was in a good mood until I just had to spend $570 on 24 minutes worth of dental work. Looks like we're having boiled vegetables and rice for a while. Why is it so expensive? 😭

#aussiemates If you're looking for a decent coffee in #Malaysia get to HWC coffee, it's really rather good #pommiemates if you're wondering why Aussies moan about UK #coffee go and find out

So, #DeepSeek is one the most downloaded free apps in the USA At the risk of sounding sinophobic I urge anyone to think carefully about this Chinese software I admit I AM Chinese government phobic but I think we need to give this time

I'm such a child! Watching an old episode of wheeler dealers Mike guess to buy a car (in the USA) knocks on door asks "are you randy" response "yes"

Here is what Trump's latest crypto currency scam is about. US policy for sale to the highest bidder.

Anonymous@opcanary.bsky.social

Donald Trump likely will use his crypto coin $Trump as a way to obtain bribes and payments in exchange for US policy changes and favours. This gives corporations and hostile governments a way to pay Trump directly without any oversight or transparency. #OpCanary

Of course we should all be on guard with regards to #trump and his warmongering rants but shouldn't panic I feel it very unlikely that he would get majority approval to start a war against allied countries

Bad news! I've just discovered that #skype no longer have a party as you go option for discounted international calls.... Only a monthly subscription boo

France’s President Macron stated that Elon Musk is "directly intervening in elections, including Germany" and "supporting a new reactionary international." At least 3 other European leaders Olaf Scholz, Keir Starmer & Jonas Gahr Støre have called out Musk in last 24 hours.

Can't end England's social care crisis without ending privatisation. 2011-2023: 804 out of 816 homes closed by regulator were for-profit homes. 30%-40% of public money vanishes in profits. Low staffing/wages, lack of investment, regulation/safety breaches, poor care. www.ox.ac.uk/news/2024-03...

ox.ac.ukNew analysis: most care homes closed by industry regulator are runA new analysis led by researchers at the University of Oxford and funded by the Nuffield Foundation has found that virtually all care homes forced to close in England by the Care Quality Commission

In the US billionaires and their corrupt politician lackeys sell the school shooters the weapons then put all the victims into lifelong medical debt, then gaslight them while praising God. All along the way they squeeze hundreds of millions of dollars if not billions from the entire process.

IT'S HERE! This Windrose E1400 electric super truck is the first of many hitting kiwi shores, being tested in China doing 670km on 1 charge at 49 tonnes. It's now road legal and in Auckland so I'll be going for a blast in it on Monday morning. Can't wait! 😎

Fortunately no one was hurt in this Australian bus fire. The Facebook Department of Research has confirmed it was an electric bus and the batteries spontaneously ignited, despite it being combustion powered.

So let me get this straight, crime in London is out of control under a labour council but got so little funding from the labour government that services must be substantially cut
