Today missed being Easter by 22 minutes.

Gregorian Calendar’s definition: First Sunday after the first Full Moon after the March Equinox. If the Full Moon had occurred 22 minutes earlier, landing yesterday (GMT), then today would have been that first Sunday.

Rand Paul: "The whole [tariffs] debate is so fundamentally backwards & upside down. It's based on a fallacy & the fallacy is this: that somehow in a trade, someone must lose. That somehow when you trade with someone, someone is taking advantage of you... I have a trade deficit with my grocery store"

China does 8% of its trade with the USA.

8%, if it does 0% they won't really care.

The USA gets more than 40% of its stuff from China.

The USA will be completely destroyed.

Speculation continues to grow in the USA that Elon Musk’s days as CEO of Tesla are numbered.

The betting company BetIdeas says there is a 44% chance he will be removed this year, a 33% chance that he will quit, and a 64% chance that Tesla’s share price will tumble by another 15% this coming year.

Once the face of EVs, Tesla is now losing ground as Chinese automakers dominate. With just 10% of global NEV sales, Tesla’s brand is fading, while Chinese NEVs are 3-5 years ahead in tech, efficiency & affordability. The clean energy transition isn’t Tesla-led—it’s China-led. 🔋⚡ #EV #Lithium #LFP

Except the draft Heads of Terms for #Drax announced today has a floor of 22% load ... meaning ... in later years like 2030/1 Drax will be paid even if renewables are >>78%of grid.

This is crazy and would pay Drax to pollute ahead of renewables

The UK government has agreed a new deal with Drax between 2027 and 2031, saying that Drax will provide power only when it is “really” needed. It estimates that this will save consumers £170m a year.

Really good read on how awful Keir Starmer is, how he's devoid of any ideology, and how the right wing of Labour continue to fuck the country over. Kinda wish Rayner had launched that coup, things may have been at least slightly better
