The one thing not mentioned is gas cars just get worse with age, whereas electric cars get better and better as we green the electric grid.
EVs beat petrol cars on lifetime emissions — even on “dirty” grids.
Battery production is carbon-intensive, but EVs quickly repay that debt and end up 21–71% cleaner over 250,000 km.
We can’t wait for perfect grids: electrify transport and clean the grid now.

Excellent news! For this Summer's Shakespeare at the Lake, we're not having the usual frothy Midsummer Night's Dream or 12th Night. We get the Scottish play!

By the way, if you see a notification I posted something or begin to click on a post but it disappears, that's me having clicked "Post," and in that split second caught a terrible misspelling or other error, and I went, "Oh, absolutely not!" So, I deleted it. It will reappear in a moment edited.

The only time Article 5 of the NATO Treaty was invoked was to defend us, not for us to defend Europe. European soldiers and civilians died fighting with us and working next to us in Afghanistan. Europe was not attacked on September 11, 2001.

Excellent! Local law enforcement doing their jobs to protect and serve in the face of Trump's personal thugs.
This is great. Very few people want to go to jail, get disbarred or die for this regime. Make them fight you. They will cave.

This delights me! I did away with getting up on a ladder a couple years ago when I had my handyman install hooks all along the eaves. To put up my solar-powered Christmas lights, I have a pole with a hook on the end and just string them along one by one through the hooks.

Tonight, we were watching The American Revolution on PBS. My oldest daughter began working on her iPad with the stylus. When I asked what she was doing, she said she was practicing her cursive so she could write better with her new fountain pen.

Important safety tip: Do not attempt to grill Halloumi cheese in a toaster oven. There were pops and ominous smoke rising.
In my defense, I was peckish and unsupervised. Please do not tell my oldest daughter about this.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?
