I saw this morning some post on here suggesting to filter your email inbox by "unsubscribe", to quickly find all the things you can unsubscribe from. It has been a relaxing two hours :)

happy new Propagandhi day to everybody who loves sick ass riffs over righteous lyrics

Much ado about the role of renewable energy (RE) in the Spanish blackout. The investigation into the effective cause is still ongoing, but many pointed to the fact that RE has no ‘inertia’. Is that true? The answer is: yes, but ... 🧵
