Preliminary thoughts on the German election results so far: 1) Chasing the far right vote by demagoguing on migration has brought the CDU/CSU it's second worst performance in history. It's in first place, but it's a weaker result than anything Merkel posted.

The scenario where renewables bloom to power data centres, so that edgelord675 can up his Roman Centurion meme game, while fossil fuel production re-ups is not ironic. It's the logic of energy 'transition' in capitalist modernity. Never been a progression, always a mix. And this cocktail is toxic.

This is a huge, violent sectoral downsizing. And it includes me because today is my last day of work at Brunel, following taking voluntary redundancy as part of the closures announced last Autumn. Fortunately, Arts & Humanities has now been taken 'out of scope' but there will be compulsory (1/-)
