I...do not understand how electricity works.

Power cuts tomorrow unless there’s drastic usage reduction

Remember Tories laughing at Germany's efficiency measures to avoid power cuts and increase gas storage?

Germany spent all summer procuring gas, switching to renewables.

UK spent all summer voting a new party leader & then unseating them

Gas storage going into winter:

Germany - 104 days
UK - 9 days

When people travel to the past, they worry about radically changing the present by doing something small.

Few people think that they can radically change the future by doing something small in the present.

This is the only real time travel paradox.

Yearly holiday reminder - if someone says they don't want an alcoholic drink, that's all they need to say. Unless they offer, it's none of your business if they're in recovery, have a health issue, or just don't feel like it. Don't be the one who makes it weird.

Harassing #trans people isn’t a political position. It’s bigotry.

Something nice just happened. I've been contacted by a scientist who wants to use one of my Moon pictures in a talk. #AstroDon #astronomy #Astro #space #Astrophotography

Why are there TWO Dakotas? Were there too many Dakotans for one? Why is Wyoming a separate state? Washington, DC has more people in it (712,816 per the 2020 Census vs 534,309 in Wyoming). And what about Puerto Rico? Why don't those 2,683,024 American citizens get to vote for POTUS or have Senatorial representation?

America's playing field needs to be leveled before America can be the country it needs to be, can be & will be.

Most of the year these guys play in a ZZ Top tribute band - but at Christmastime they decorate our home!

Trump dines with a Holocaust denier and it doesn’t make the front page of the New York Times. That's an example of what I call "ethics norming”: Actions that would create big scandals in the past are considered routine now. Decent people hold onto their capacity for outrage, but mainstream media think indecency by major political figures isn't news if it happens a lot.

BREAKING: Lawmakers have confirmed that if you find yourself in the dock for mass murder, you can simply eat kangaroo testicles on TV and all will be forgiven. Think of it like community service for Tory politicians x

If you yell parkour loudly enough, no one will realize you tripped over a crack in the pavement, again
