So much fast-fashion clothing is future microplastics. Polyester, acrylic, spandex, nylon. It’s sad that plastic clothes are cheaper than natural materials. Then again, natural materials probably need nitrogen fertilizer, made from fossil gas.
2 things might be happening recently, independently or not. Ukraine is ramping up the number of drones being sent out and getting more hits on refineries and factories. Or enough russian air defense units like S-300s have been taken out that it’s easier for drones to get by. Or both. The results are clear. Russia’s economy is going up in smoke.

Ukraine is busy decarbonizing Russia’s economy 💚
Ukraine blew up the distilleries though.
South Korea’s intelligence agency is helping translate, and I assume provide context and take notes.
That would be nice. But historically Canada has been content to be slightly leftward of the USA and to congratulate itself for it. If Mar-A-Gulago comes to pass, Canada will probably be happy with some intimidation and silencing of progressives. At least it’s not USA!
Every election in 2024 has had incumbent parties lose vote share or lose elections. Canada is going the same way.
Also the current governing Liberals are center to center-right by European standards.

Horoscope is already for white girls.
MBTI is more like business astrology.
You still have and use a heat pump though. The propaganda in the UK is telling everyone that heat pumps are not perfect, so best throw up your hands and keep burning fossil fuels forever. In reality some combo of insulation, heat pump, and backup system can work just fine.
One of the longest running field studies of heat pumps in renovated properties shows that extensive renovations and insulation upgrades are not necessary to install a heat pump. Good fabric efficiency will keep running costs down, but this is also true for homes heated by gas and oil boilers.
It’s why I kept earplugs with me all the time on public transit. And not those foam orange ones, but cone-shaped ones marketed to musicians that go so deep they touch your brain and block out everything.
The bus driver could announce that the bus is on fire. There could be a knife fight right behind me. High schoolers could be yelling about bro no way bro did you see that bro. I can’t hear shit.
Check out their a capella album of rebel songs.
WILD.
This is an excellent point. The energy transition is more accurately an energy addition. Some renewables on top of a still-increasing pile of burning fossil fuels.
Same with EVs. More are being sold every year but more ICE cars are being sold, too.
Until the fossil fuel industry actually shrinks, things are hopeless.
And we’re so interconnected that radical change in big countries will change small ones too. Tourist-dependent economies will crash if the overdeveloped world decodes not to fly any more, for example.
How many of those 200 nations actually need to radically transform? Bhutan? Maldives? Other small, poor nations?
It’s the worst among polluters and resource thieves who need to change.
