I think 10 years from now, the big story of this era will be North American completely shitting the bed on EVs, wind and solar.
It could very well be the defining factor Chinese geopolitical preeminence in the years to come.

More than half of the world’s new electric cars are now plugging into Chinese sockets instead of lining up at gas stations. By 2024, it is estimated that China’s EV sales were growing about 40% year on year, even as some Western markets stumbled.

China sold 11 million electric vehicles in one year, leaving less room for the oil it used to buy from Venezuela
But there is a basic question lurking behind the headlines. Who will actually need that oil in the years ahead? For years, China has been one of Venezuela’s

So remembering those Russia killed is too political for Olympic Committee, but letting athletes from a country that killed them compete is okay ? Nice to know

4 months after Trump pardoned Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, Forbes reports that Binance now holds $4.7 billion of the $5.4 billion supply of Trump’s World Liberty Financial stablecoin. That is 87%. It is the largest corruption scandal in the history of the US presidency.

“I’m a genius, I can see the future, give me money!” is hard to square with “I am so naive and detached I didn’t read the news nor had any other way to know that Epstein was a pedophile after his conviction specifically as a pedophile”

Ah the “if only the Gestapo had had body cams, Nazism would have been pretty great really” argument.
I won’t support additional funding for ICE unless we put guardrails in place to make sure ICE is better trained and actually focused on making our communities safer.

Proposal - every scientific conference should specifically identify every scientist and every institution that was linked with Epstein in its list of speakers and attendees. Don’t ban them. Shame them publicly every time. Tier 1 - went to island.
Tier 2 - took $ from Epstein.

Spoiler alert: Elon Musk will not build a colony or an outpost or so much as an outdoor toilet on the Moon. Not in ten years. Not in twenty years. Not ever. When your dipshit friend or relative expresses excitement over his announcement, just change the subject. There's no point. It's a cult.

Selling a car on kijiji and so far literally every responder has a different type of car report that they want. As ever, ask weird questions on kijiji = a scammer of some obscure but definitely time wasting type.
Good buyers are always simple: they understand the basic deal is pay $ for stuff.

The UK Government has so far refused to release info on its deals with Palantir, and Mandelson's involvement. We still need to see real transparency over this US spy tech firm's involvement in our public services: www.foxglove.org.uk/2026/02/06/u...
We're calling on the UK Government to publish the full detail behind Keir Starmer's trip to Palantir HQ with Peter Mandelson – and the subsequent £240m Ministry of Defence contract
But this scandal isn't about just one man. It opens up serious questions about how close the UK Government is to US Big Tech companies across the board.
