We need to have more conversations on green energy -- especially in the face of "drill, babby, drill!" So, I pass on a truly fascinating interview, one of a fabulous series. www.youtube.com/watch?v=U04p...

One of my theories about Trump's lack of awareness is that he is too vain to wear reading glasses. He may read headlines, never detail. It is not his only problem, certainly, but vanity and blindness may lead him to fall into a large pit.

@cityofcalgary.bsky.social Please, Calgary, take note: More public toilets -- they are a sign of civilization.
One of my inordinately strong views is that the lack of public toilets in this country is a disgrace. Not only, as the superbly named Cornelius McAfee explains, is it a public health failure, but it's a missed opportunity to repurpose beautiful, disused buildings & even create some new architecture!
Yesterday saw the launch of a 'London Loo Alliance' to beat the drum for more public toilets.
‘Public toilets are the hallmark of a civilised society,’ said one campaigner. ‘The Romans understood this, but our local authorities don’t seem to.’
