There aren’t a huge number of folk in my industry I truly admire. DENZEL however is one I very much do. “So what a responsibility you all have, to tell the truth. Not just to be first, but to tell the truth.”

It does feel insane that none of "the progressive case for aircon" mentions solar. If this heatwave had happened in 2010, the European grid would have buckled in the daytime! As it is, there were some issues in the evening when the sun went down. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Brighton, UK 13/06/2026 #Brighton #CarnivalAgainstFascism
Woman protester holding up a sign saying "FUCK YOUR FASCISM", facing a line of police officers holding perspex shields in riot uniform. 

This took place in Brighton in the UK. It is probably in the middle of the day. There are other protesters behind the women. The scene is outside a pub.

The woman is part of a counter-protester, which is part of the Carnival Against Fascism. Members of a right-wing/anti-immigration group calling themselves the "Patriots" were in Brighton to march through the city. The counter-protesters outnumbered the Patriots, who did not manage to meet their objectives, as the counter-protesters were present in large numbers around the  roads in the area.

Language is important. I'm tired of media euphemisms. It's not climate skeptic, it's climate denier. It's not vaccine skeptic, it's anti-vaxxer. And it's "lies" and "racism" and "genocide" and "war." Words have meaning.
