Solar (and battery) powered train in Byron Bay (in North East New South Wales, Australia for those unfamiliar with Australia). It's converted from diesel.

While the train has solar panels on it's roof, it also gets charged at stations which have solar panels on them too.

Here's a video of it.

Why read books? Because books are still the most powerful, reliable, transportive & magical storytelling technology we've invented - and all they need to work is YOUR OWN IMAGINATION! #booksky

We now have a king, or a president attempting to be one. We now routinely side with big and autocratic against the small and democratic.

Is it time to consider the once-unthinkable, breaking up?

"The American idea is worth fighting for. But not indefinitely," writes @billmckibben.bsky.social.

He seems determined to try.

Some say
I’m born when mermaids sing,
And echo through a coral shell.

Some say
I bloom like June,
When clouds begin to clear.

Some say
I hum with hope,
While ducks in boots write love notes.

I am
the courage
that turns wishes into miracles…
