Iran’s supreme leader has vowed that authorities will not back down in the face of a rapidly growing protest movement,
setting the stage for an intensified violent crackdown on the second day of a nationwide internet shutdown.
Protests have raged in cities and towns across the country in recent days,
posing a threat to the authority of the regime, which has been significantly weakened since the last large protest movement in the country in 2022.
Another round of demon…

If voting didn't matter they wouldn't try so hard to stop us from doing it. Go vote.
And after you've done your civic duty, don't forget to also sabotage the gears of capitalism/fascism.

Australia's renewable energy boom is coming—and it could solve a surprising problem.
Over the next decade, we'll build more clean energy infrastructure than the past 30 years combined. But where will thousands of construction workers live in regional towns already facing housing shortages?
A new RE-Alliance report shows worker accommodation can become lasting community assets: refurbished aged-care homes, workforce villages transformed into suburbs.

SwitchedOn podcast: Renewable construction boom can help fix regional housing crisis
RE-Alliance’s national director, Andrew Bray, discusses how the energy transition can deliver important consumer benefits, particularly in housing.

Like a Count Floyd movie night on #SCTV, the ghosts in this series are thinning out as we get to our 2nd to last province. Apparently, New Brunswick is not particularly scary unless you make an enemy of the J.D. Irving clan. (They won't find your body.) Wikipedia has no list of abandoned towns, which is definite proof they don't exist. A century old cotton mill in Fredericton, certainly ripe for ghoulish activities, is currently haunted by government employees. Ooooo....
So we'll have to rely on two of New Brunswick's most famous ghostly locations to spooky your interest, starting with the headless nun.

Massachusetts considers expanding effort to ban gas in new buildings
Lawmakers are weighing a bill that would allow 10 more cities and towns to prohibit the use of fossil fuels in new construction through an existing pilot…

As #Halloween creeps up on us, we continue to highlight haunted abandoned towns. Today, we are in Rowley Alberta, a failed railway town near the gates of Hell. Maybe near Drumheller.... I wasn't paying attention. Settled around 1910, it once had about 500 residents but declined after the closure of its train station in 1965, and the construction of new highways bypassing the town. Today, it's a mix of private homes and preserved historical buildings, and the remaining 9 evil residents have worked to maintain its historic charm. They have added new features and even host monthly pizza nights to lure in unsuspecting tourists. Don't go in the old shed with all the sharp farm tools....
