Basically: let Russia win

Oh, it’s next to a Tesla charging station

There’s not much to add about the grimness of the election results in Thüringen and Sachsen

But even I’m disappointed by the way Germany is currently governed. The coalition is a mess, there’s little in the way of care or support for people, and plenty of harshness and victimisation

It doesn’t take much to push people from hopelessness into authoritarianism

And there’ll be plenty of anguish, but little course correction after today

#Reform is funded by those with Russian assets and #BigOil

‘One of the biggest donors to Nigel #Farage’s anti-net zero Reform UK during the general election campaign has significant Russian business interests’

‘As revealed by DeSmog, Reform received more than £2.3 million from oil and gas interests, highly polluting industries, and climate science deniers between December 2019 and the start of the 2024 election campaign – amounting to 92 percent of the party’s donations during that period.’

Hi there, folks! We have had a pretty tough week here in Norway. The Norwegian parliament approved deep sea mining, and we lost the first round of a lawsuit against fjord dumping. Hard times. We are looking to connect with marine ecologists, marine biologists, and other ocean scientists that are willing to stand and be counted in this. Please contact us, or wave in some way at us. We must protect the depths of the ocean. #deepseamining #scientistrebellion #Norway #norsktut https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/jan/12/norway-to-allow-mining-waste-to-be-dumped-in-fjords
Norway to allow mining waste to be dumped in fjords

Environmental campaigners say move will threaten marine life and put biodiversity at risk

Still marvelous to think that 110,000 people voted in the Iowa Republican caucus, yet it will be interpreted as sending a significant message about America. That's less than a third of the population of Bydgoszcz. (if your response is "where?" then you are making my point)
I delight in knowing the sun is coming back our way. 🌤

I wish we could go back to the old days when I wasn't checking 5 different social media apps to find out what the hell is going on and how everyone's doing.
