First night of Germany's grid without nuclear: it's bad.

It's night. No sun. Wind has dropped to almost nothing.

Most of German "renewables" right now is richly-subsidized bioenergy with half the net CO2 emissions of an efficient gas power plant.

Importing nuclear from France.

This is a thread of my favourite Aussie slang. It’s a mixed bag of widely known vs regional, brand-new vs outdated etc. I had a neighbour in Melbourne for 5 years who spoke almost entirely in slang from the ’60s (so shout out to Frances from Mentone for teaching me lots of them!)

Many of you have seen the picture of the kitchen of the destroyed house in Dnipro. This is the family.

I cannot provide you with the whereabouts of the family. I hope they made it out. But it remind us all that the Russian fascist terror of Russky Mir is the scourge of humanity.

Maria Lebid, 15. Another victim of Russian rocket strike on Dnipro.

"My 15 year old, supersmart, supertalented and super funny sister is gone (rocket hit our home)" - her sister wrote.

Maria's mom was at work that day.
RIP, Maria.

Russia against Putin.
A thread on what's going on with the public opinion of the Russian society.
(A lot. It changes rapidly, and definitely not in the way Putin would like it to change).

A journalist asks Jacinda Ardern if she met with Finnish PM Sanna Marin just because the two are "similar in age" and have "a lot of common stuff".

It goes about as well as you'd expect.

Too late to call a national holiday after the @Socceroos huge win against Denmark last night. But if we win the #FIFAWorldCup... that might be a different story.

They’ve run out of 5kg fish bricks so now when your Russian son dies after mobilization, you just get a set of 3 decorative towels from the dollar store

By the way, this is real.
