Its funny how everyone's idea of heaven is a complete untouched paradise, crystal clear waters, lush green forests, enough food for everyone, classless, moneyless, stateless, a Utopia of peace, unity and happiness. But here on earth it's considered a leftist ideology.

There's a lot being shared right now about China's incredible shift towards renewable energy - and rightly so. But this, from the UK, is equally astonishing & encouraging. It's not just that change can happen. It's that it *is* happening. (Via climateactapp.substack.com/p/your-daily...)
A chart from Our World In Data, showing the shift away from coal power in the UK - nearly 70% of electricity production in the late 1980s, to less than 0.1% in 2025.

I'm off to bed Gonna lay my dozy head On a pillow and dream of a world Where everybody's nice to each other Where life is for living And forgiveness is for giving Nobody knocks you round Nor kicks you when yer down They'd never banish or shun you No hurt you can't undo When somebody loves you RS

The case for proportional representation is undeniable. CTV reports on how our democracy distorting voting system fuels regional divisions, and how proportional representation can fix it. @mark-carney.bsky.social, will you champion a system where every vote truly counts? #cdnpoli

Germany under PR: Far-right gets 20% but is shut out by democratic parties. USA under FPTP: Far-right takes over the GOP, erodes democracy, and works to economically weaken us for annexation. FPTP doesn’t protect democracy—it endangers it. #cdnpoli
The image titled "Power of extremists by voting system" is a flowchart comparing how extremist politicians gain power under two voting systems: first-past-the-post (FPTP) and proportional representation (PR).

In the FPTP path, an extremist politician becomes the leader of a major party. Their party wins 100% power with only 39% of the vote, allowing the extremist to lead the country.

In the PR path, an extremist politician becomes the leader of a small party. Their party wins a proportional block of seats, limiting the extremist's impact.

A footnote defines "political extremist" using Wikipedia and the Cambridge Dictionary.
