Russia’s energy blackmail has failed.
Thanks to the efforts of EU citizens and businesses, we have cut our gas use by 19%. And our gas storage is still filled at 62%.
We are phasing out Russian pipeline gas by diversifying our energy supplies. In 2022, our LNG imports have increased by 68% compared to 2021.
And we are massively investing in renewables to produce clean energy in Europe.
With European unity and a smart energy policy, we are strengthening our energy independence.

Neil deGrasse Tyson invariably annoys me when he explores subjects which aren't within his field of research, but in this case he's at his very best as a scientist and communicator explaining in layman's terms what's going on with the recent findings in new data provided by the James Webb Space Telescope, and what that means for science and for the rest of us.

Good Morning Canada!
The wife and I are off to Toronto today to visit our 2 daughters, the youngest of which works for Rainbow Railroad. This non-profit helps #LGBTQ individuals escape persecution in their countries by moving them to safer nations. Rainbow Railroad is based in Canada because we are recognized as one of the most friendly and safest countries for the gay community.

First lit in 1811 and listed as, from what I understand, one of the “Seven Wonders Of The Industrial World,” the Bell Rock light in Angus, Scotland, takes on the sea. Photographer unknown.

It’s always so interesting to me when women immediately jump into a discussion about women’s rights to defend the patriarchy. We see you. We’ve been dealing with you for generations. You sunk ERA for my mom’s generation. Sorry to tell you, we aren’t listening to you any more. You Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Amy Coney Barrett bitches who tell other women to subjugate ourselves for our families while you run for office, join the Supreme Court and keep all your names. We see you.
From musing about Russia blowing up NATO headquarters to some gross misogyny, I put together a supercut of some of the most bizarre moments from Trump's CPAC speech. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7wlXSShHRc
You know who gets muted? This guy. Because his perspective is not going to be news to anyone.
Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)

Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
