Billionaires have some ego on them, eh? They seem to think their hoard protects them from anything. They need to read their history books, such as on Cuba, and particularly the French Revolution.

My poor addled brain - every time I see a headline about COP30 for a second I think it’s about C3PO from Star Wars, but the chances of that are approximately 3,720 to 1.

For anyone thinking of getting a plug-in hybrid over a pure battery electric vehicle as a compromise when reducing personal CO2 emissions, think again!

Some light reading for this evening!
A tome of this kind is incredibly useful - one that gathers the evidence of every industry which obstructs action on the climate emergency.
The contents pages list the industries sending us all to a climate hell in a handcart to protect their wealth / power.

It’s us.
It is already dangerous, lethal for many, and getting worse.

I am reflecting on this image today, and the saying below, as I traverse social media.
“Arguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are, the bird is going to shit on the board and strut around like it won anyway.”

Hi @npr.org! We worked late tonight putting together this handy pocket guide!
It doesn't address road design issues, but if we're going to educate road users, we should include drivers.
It's the size of a folded business card. Print it, fold it, put it in your wallet!

Welshfolk: go back to your history books! It was millionaire English Nationalists that stripped you of all assets, denied you your culture / language, and caused generational poverty that exists to this day!
