Right now, mainland Britain has got almost enough wind and solar power to meet our electricity demand. Add in the power from nuclear and a small dash of gas (used solely to maintain enough mechanical inertia to stabilise the grid) and we are having to export 4 […] [Original post on mastodon.green]

I have posted about this before, but wanted to re-iterate how much in love I am with FediAlgo: I’m currently on paternity leave so have around half an hour per day for social. That is of course far from enough to keep up with a chronological timeline like mine, and previously with Mastodon the […]

Sometimes I regret organizing #FediForum, because an organizer, I can only run so many sessions before I hijack my own unconference.

The DNI is a possibly a cult member. The head of the FBI is a conspiracy theorist. Deputy director too. Secretary of HHS is a full-blown crank with a brainworm. SecDef is a drunk, SecState is a lapdog. The DOGE guy, well… This is the guy who hired them. He still pretends he got elected in 2020.
