Ancient trees are shipped to the UK, then burned – using billions in ‘green’ subsidies. Stop this madness now https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jun/21/uk-trees-burned-green-drax-power-station

I found a fan this morning (biked home with it for five blocks!) and tried to get it working. No luck yet, motor might be burned out or seized up.
The fan I found in an alley two years ago works totally fine. Hoping I can get this one running.

Apropos of how I crashed and burned in today’s #Connections, my #Strands puzzle also was a big, fat nothingburger.

I lived in this town, Ian Paisley's home town and DUP core territory, for 3 years as a teenager. Not been back.
It was characterised by narrow-mindedness and bigotry then in the 60s.

«As a result, there’s been some speculation that the [Waymo] cars were burned to destroy evidence. There’s likely more to it than that—and that the cars weren’t torched to destroy evidence as much to punish collaborators.»
Speaking of the Zeitgeist about working with big tech. 😁

Watching Trump and Musk turn off the NOAA data centres, threatening irreplaceable archives of weather and climate data and analyses. Remembering when Stephen Harper’s government shut down a bunch of government libraries and archives, including literally throwing irreplaceable records in the trash.

The Harper Government Has Trashed and Destroyed Environmental Books and Documents
In the first few days of 2014, scientists, journalists, and environmentalists were horrified to discover that the Harper government had begun a process to close seven of the 11 of Canada's world-renowned Department of Fisheries and Oceans libraries...

Experts warn Canada's wildfire season likely to be massive again
Two years after a historically devastating summer, Canada is once again facing a massive fire season, with burned areas already exceeding year-to-date averages from recent years.

James Jani is one of the best serious YouTubers out there and he burned out. So far, so common.
What I find interesting is something what he says that doesn’t resonate with me at all: “you gotta enjoy the process”
For me, I’ve NEVER enjoyed the process of creating ANYTHING.
I always:
1. wanted something to exist (sometimes out of spite 😇),
