Not to be this guy but I’m not sure doubling down on “climate change isn’t an existential threat to human society” is the most effective evidence-based, play-it-cool messaging that climate scientists have ever come up with

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

Everyone is posting this video of a Ukrainian soldier shooting down a Russian Shahed drone with a "minigun," and it’s a great video worth sharing.
I just can’t help thinking that they launch hundreds upon hundreds of those drones at us every single day. Every day!

I am becoming really fed up with arrogant, bloody Americans telling my country what we should and shouldn't do. They trash everything with tariffs to bring manufacturing to the US, then object when the UK uses it's own companies to build in the UK?? Get stuffed.

Millionaires group urge Reeves to introduce wealth tax to ‘lift kids of out poverty’.
But Govts listen to the City type.
1% have more wealth than 70% of the population.
Poorest 20% pay higher proportion of income in taxes than the richest 20%.
Can't grow economic by squeezing the bottom 50%.
