Between this and the discovery that solar panel shade can actually _increase_ certain crop yields, people are discovering that there are truly extraordinary opportunities to make better use of the earth's surface area with solar panels. There's so much power waiting to be harnessed!

A Chilean salmon farm now draws about 57% of its power from panels laid over the water, cutting roughly 136,000 litres of diesel a year and silencing the generators. With the noise gone, thousands of salmon have gathered in the shade beneath the arrays. Ecoportal buff.ly/CwczkbP #ShareGoodNewsToo

Hirono: Was Blanche's attitude during your meeting one of dismissiveness? Epstein survivor: We went into the meeting in good faith to work with him and the DOJ. We were met with gaslighting and Blanche talking around our questions instead of answering them.

@heringsburger.bsky.social Just noticing "former publisher of politico". Do you still have contacts? I have spent 2y collecting a few gigabytes of information about everything Palantir. My most recent find. The Koch committed theft and murder and Karp got his jew identity from his Nazi granddad

I have literally lost track of whether this is the same storm or a different storm.

Over the past ten years NZ has averaged 55.9 days annually under a State of Emergency each year, and 66.6 days over the last five. In the 10 years prior to this, NZ averaged only 13.4 days per year. Consider the implications of central government continuing to refuse to believe in climate change.

Robin Williams made a joke about corrupt politicians wearing sponsor jackets, but that's what Peter Mandelson did. This scandal has caused fewer resignations, plots, briefings, and backstabbing than Corbyn's election as party leader (twice), that says something about #LaboursBackstabbingTendency

NZ has normalised inequality. As the cost of living rises, Govt has to expand into every corner of life so people don't starve and end up homeless. We need to reduce inequality and rampant rentierism so that people and communities have the resources they need to look after themselves.
