Battery electric vehicles were the largest market segment in France in September at over 40%. Pure combustion vehicles are taking their final breaths. Petrol at 11% and diesel at 2%.

Middle of October in London and I'm getting woken up by a mosquito. I'm done with fly season.

90 years ago, on the 4th of October 1936, antifascist counter protesters stopped a British Union of Fascists march through London’s East End. The Metropolitan Police tried to clear the way for the fascists resulting in violent clashes known as the Battle of Cable Street. #otd #history 🗃️

I thought they were the so-called Facebook police. 🙃

In an effort to get me to pony up for a paid sub, Life360 critique my driving each week. Chat, I've not driven for 2 months or even been in a car for weeks. Where do I sign up?

I laughed out loud at this and had to explain. Now I too know the look.

Oh no, the integrity of Russian elections may be compromised.

Tell me you’ve never been to Ireland without telling me, etc, etc…

I look forward to some techbro announcing they've created a new technology capable of displaying two (2) digits to the left of the decimal point and having a load of americans whooping and hollering that the rest of the world doesn't get innovation.

Gas power costs are reaching energy crisis levels again in the UK, which will inevitably push bills up for consumers. The fortunes of the British economy are still tied to the price of a single fossil fuel. When bills go up, remember that this is the reason why.

Yeah I'll give you this. It is hilarious.

One of the (very few) benefits of having children is instantly becoming immune to the sound of other people's children.

Tate brothers bail denial has lots of funny evidence. Including them boasting in social media about ignoring court dates and using multiple passports, including forged ones to jump jurisdictions “I'm untouchable because I've spent a decade spreading myself into MANY grids.” Apparently you didn't

Over the past year, lots of people have asked me what I think of the argument Jean-Baptiste Fressoz makes in More and More and More - that sources of energy are only ever additive. TLDR: not much. mliebreich.substack.com/p/more-and-m...

1/ New from James Bloodworth: “On speaking ill of the dead.” Yes, gloating over a death is bad form—but we’re now asked to go further, to stand in silence while the deceased is sainted. That’s a demand worth resisting. 🧵 www.forthedeskdrawer.com/p/on-speaking-ill-of-the-dead

There's a similar experience in the Museum of the Home in Hackney where they have a typical room from like the early 2000s. Felt like violence ngl

Solar output in the UK recorded an all-time high in July, reaching 3.2 TWh. 33% higher than July last year. Accelerating solar deployment coincided with a historically sunny month to produce this record. Solar power is delivering when heatwaves are at their worst.

July marks the first consecutive twelve month period where wind generated more electricity than gas in the UK...in every single month. In the last decade, wind generation in the UK has more than doubled, pushing first coal and now gas out of the mix.

Whatever they are paying the photo editor, it’s not enough.

Full throated endorsement of this post. Dtf St Louis is the best tv of the year.

There's a market gap for Randy's Big Bucket of Seasoning ™️ to come out with a Now With Added Bleach variant.

NEW | Solar generated a QUARTER of EU electricity in June 🇪🇺⚡️ Solar was also the single largest source of power generation (25%) ahead of nuclear (21%), gas (15%) and wind (14%). Five years ago, in 2021, solar was still at 10% in June.

Dtf St Louis is very good indeed.

Xero using the power of AI to really inform me.

This Fess would also work if the husband was 20 years younger than them. Rather than the stupid Gen X, Millennial classifications we should have a name for the one (1) generation born between ~1975 and ~1995 who actually grew up knowing how computers work.

The yanks are radicalising me into supporting England tonight and I don't like it.
