The COP30 in Belem: yet another political masquerading opportunity where economic and technological realities get painted as the outcome of heroic green government policies.
“COP30 in Belém may well be remembered as the moment that the world accepted the leading role of China in addressing humanity’s most important challenge.”
“China is helping enable the energy transition, while the U.S. tries to force countries to buy U.S. oil and gas. Global trends favor China.”

Yes but Europe is horrible.
There were 93 homicides in London last year: population 9 million
In New York - population 8.5 million - there were
391.
London's homicide figure is 6 times lower than LA, 9 times lower than Miami, 17 times lower than Chicago.
And it's falling year on year despite the population increasing

I can guarantee that the real fuel cell experts at BMW know that this €273m is a total waste of taxpayer money and will not resolve the fundamental economics problem.
German taxpayers are handing BMW €273m to once again attempt to push hydrogen-powered cars, when battery prices have once again dropped >50% in the past ~18 month and CATL is on its 5th-gen LFP battery.
CATL, BYD et al must be laughing all the way to the bank.
Sigh.

And exactly this will be their demise.
It's one thing I truly loathe about these assholes (who dominate our politics & culture now). They can't tolerate something good & pure *existing*. Even if it's no bother to them, no bother to anyone, they can't tolerate it. Nothing can live outside their control, their narrow boxes, their fear.

We have had a loss of pasta separation and we need to come back to our old ways:

Europe: actual pasta

<p>The legislation, championed by far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, was pushed through the Knesset’s National Security Committee on 3 November, drawing widespread condemnation from human rights groups.</p>
<p>If passed, the law would allow Israeli courts to impose the death penalty on Palestinians convicted of killing Israelis on "nationalistic grounds".</p>
<p>The legislation does not apply to Israelis who kill Palestinians under similar circumstances.</p>

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:
His Works Completed, Dick Cheney, Mass Murderer of Iraqis and American Democracy, Dies
As much as the Trumpists claim to disavow the War on Terror, they walk a path paved by the most powerful vice president in U.S. history.
