Finally! This is one of the most obvious answers to help with curtailment issues. Every EV should be part of a virtual power plant that is loaded up during periods of excess electricity and discharged when needed. @josiahmortimer.bsky.social

Surely all of those involved should be arrested as part of a massive conspiracy to defraud Brazilian citizens of their vote?
Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

Fascinating Jeremy, now tell us about the time you cut national insurance twice as an electoral game despite knowing we couldn't afford it.

Overall, we are seeing some very odd deal talks that are supposedly a part of ending the war in Ukraine. But in fact evidence shows these deals are structured (in the most recent case secretly until now) to financially benefit Russia or business partners of the Trump and Witkoff families.

Trump announces "fraud whistleblower incentive program" -- "Americans will now be able to go to fraud dot gov and report cases of corruption and theft of taxpayer dollars in their communities ... if you turn somebody in and you find $1 billion, we're giving a commission of 1%. That's a lot of money"

To all those people who said with a straight face, and against all the evidence otherwise, that Donald Trump would fix the Ukraine war, that it would be over immediately because everyone would be to afraid of Trump. And to those who supported him out of spite and to own the libs... Fuck you.
Ukraine’s Interior Ministry says a Russian drone struck a park in Nova Vodolaha, Kharkiv region, killing an infant and two women. At least 14 others were injured, including seven children. Families with children were in the park at the time. #Ukraine

A man so dangerous he wants to watch his own country burn to the ground because he might be able to rule over the ashes. French magic grandpa is every bit as dangerous as Marine Le Pen. Both will betray Ukraine to Russia, both will see their country in ruins to achieve power.
Why would Melenchon incite violence knowing it will help Le Pen? Because he wants Le Pen to win and he becomes leader of the opposition. His people talk of a third round of the election "on the streets" if mlp wins. If so, saturday’s violence will seem mild
In reality Trump is relaxing the sanctions permanently and will refuse to reinstate them after the mid terms unless forced to by a supermajority.
Marco Rubio says Trump is pausing sanctions for 60 days to see whether talks involving Ukraine and Russia can produce a positive result and avoid another year of war. RBC-Ukraine reports the US is considering further sanctions relief covering tankers, gas, companies and individuals. #US
Confirming the reason Trump and Musk have lost the plot with Ukraine and Zelensky. Also explains their refusal to switch Starlink back on. I wonder how many data centers are in reach of the additional Storm shadow missiles the UK has just sent...
Netanyahu says 60% of online activity by Russian users directed against Israel disappeared after the strike on Yandex in Russia. The Israeli prime minister linked the sharp drop in activity directly to Ukrainian attacks. #Russia

Hooray, finally a party in the UK with a bit of a backbone. Take note @plaidcymru.bsky.social and @libdems.org.uk I would @ the others but they aren't even on here such is their fear of upsetting Trump, Musk and the techno fascists.

Trump now completely out of the closet as Putin’s puppet. Things must be getting desperate if he can’t hide it any more.
Journalists and politicians in the UK need to seriously get across this fact. Europe is defending Ukraine, the United States is AT BEST profiting from the war, at worst actively assisting Putin. The Iran War saved Putin by putting Oil and Gas prices through the roof and billions in his pocket.
Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski to Al Jazeera: “Since January of last year, the US has not contributed a single cent to the defence of Ukraine. “We are doing it, Europe.”
How on earth can we be facing a world where both Germany and France are heading towards electing pro russian governments? I feel like I'm going insane. What is wrong with these people.
🇺🇸 “The US is no longer neutral and has switched to Russia’s side. That is why we are seeing the end of the war in Ukraine,” said Maximilian Krah, an AfD member of the German parliament.

Le Pen wants to cut Ukraind off if she is elected. She has long been close to Moscow, as Trump is
If elected president, Marine Le Pen intends to cut off financial aid to Ukraine within six months of her election. The Rassemblement National (RN) leader announced this in an interview with the Financial Times, ahead of next year’s French elections.

It's legitimate for the EU, the UK, Canada and others to support their Ukrainian ally. If Musk is going to (in effect) assist Putin's invasion of Ukraine, Ukraine's allies should sanction Starlink, X and Tesla. At the very least, governments (and people) should stop using his fucking site already.
Many Starlink terminals in Ukraine are financed by Poland. Its Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski has put Elon Musk on notice regarding the evolving situation.

2) Last night the operation of #starlink terminals in #Ukraine was restricted meaning that a number of critical missions was disrupted. It is suspected that #SpaceX took these measures at the request of the #trump administration. bsky.app/profile/phil...
