So here's #Greenpeace, responding to a data release by the Chinese government with...nothing but praise.
Zero mention of any issues related to #labor or #humanrights issues in

Greenpeace East Asia comment on Chinese government report showing China’s 80% impact on global electrification - Greenpeace East Asia
China Electricity Council on September 22 released the “China's Electrical Development Annual Report 2026”, finding that China has been a primary global driver of electrification accounting for 80% of the global increase in electrification rates since 2015, and that China’s electrification rate reached around 29.5% in 2025. Electrification targets will be a major outcome of climate negotiations at COP31, where some governments are pushing for a 35% electrification by 2035 target.

1000 Heroz: nearly there
Up to day 926 now, and I'm all-but-out of the RLLMUK leaderboard, as Donny Rosco is 40,000 points ahead and while I beat him on most days, that's only gaining me 100 points a day on average. My period of not playing has come back to haunt me. Most days see me getting a global rank of around 200, which is pleasing. I think at the moment I'm 50th in the world, but there's a fair bit of time still to go.

Just because some words diffused across language boundaries without ever getting a proper orthographic update centuries ago doesn't mean we can't fix them today.
Think I might start spelling ylama and armadiylo and such like this and just wait for them to catch on. Definitely going to be pronouncing them closer to their source languages either way.
If you speak Spanish (or Quechua) do you have feelings about this? Obviously in Spanish the llama and armadillo spellings are correct (I don't know much about Quechua orthography, but assume llama is also correct there when written in roman characters).

Global unrest is spreading. Time for a macro thread... .
On Sept 25 in TT#16, I noted some echoes of the Arab Spring in the unrest developing all over the world around the high cost of living and the poor state of public services.

TT#16 – Iran-ic Energy Dominance
Just as soaring food prices resulted in the Arab Spring, soaring fuel prices today could spell doom for petrostate leaders. In its pursuit of 'energy dominance' through oil and gas production, the Trump administration is giving the world ample reason to transition away from fossil fuels.

Denshattack: chugga chugga
The bright colours caught my eye, and since I was stuck at some hunters in a room on the way to the Silent Cartographer, I thought I'd give it a go. I'm glad I did. Denshattack bombards you quickly with different controls, and it's an assault on your concentration for the first few levels as you battle to remember to grind around corners, jump ahead of blockages, and find routes to the collectibles.
