It's been forever that I did not post something from app.electricitymaps.com/map/live/fif... Apart from countries with an absolutely overwhelming amount of renewables per capita and/or unit of GDP (Norway, Iceland...) all the lowest per Kwh emitters have a mix including nuclear energy...

Screenshot from electricitymaps.com on 25 June 2026 at 9.45AM showing France, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland and Iceland as the lowest per Kwh emitters in Europe (along with Albania), followed by Spain, Portugal, the Baltics, Austria, Greece. Though not in the "worst" category, Germany and the UK are very much in the "not great" category

Life is tiring and the world is both insane and on fire so I'm just going to post nice photos of my cat and my dog. I don't have energy to do ALT texts on all of them so it's just a series of a Sheltie dog (rather small, beautiful three colour hair) and a mid size car who's white and tiger-striped

Oh and she is a nasty bigot too. Good riddance (eventually, one would hope)

Excerpt from Joana Reid, MP's Wikipedia page, reading:

In 2025, Reid wrote for both the Daily Record to criticise Nicola Sturgeon's support for transgender rights and in LabourList to celebrate the Supreme Court decision on the Equality Act's definitions of man and woman.[9][10] In October 2025, she faced criticism from Scottish National Party politicians and local councillors after stating that their party had "turned Glasgow into a sanctuary for asylum seekers through their own virtue-signalling policies".

OK, so Tusk says something both unsurprising and absolutely dramatic: that the Hungarian gov't has been betraying the EU as a matter of routine practice. Something seriously needs to happen...

Tweet by Donald Tusk, Poland's PM, on 22 March 2026:
The news that Orbán’s people inform Moscow about EU Council meetings in every detail shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. We’ve had our suspicions about that for a long time. That’s one reason why I take the floor only when strictly necessary and say just as much as necessary.

This is really, really the Handmaid's Tale getting quite literal here - abominable

From KUT NEWS website:

Government sources and advocates for the children worry the goal is to concentrate them in Texas, where abortion is banned.
The Trump administration is sending all pregnant unaccompanied minors apprehended by immigration enforcement to a single group shelter in South Texas. The decision was made over urgent objections from the administration’s own health and child welfare officials, who say both the facility and the region lack the specialized care the girls need.

That’s according to seven sources who work at the Office of Refugee Resettlement within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which handles the custody and care of children who cross the border without a parent or legal guardian, or are separated from family by immigration authorities. All of the sources declined to be named for fear of retaliation.

Et un commentaire sur les lieux (impossible d'en sortir en gros) As someone who used to go out in Cran-Montana a lot, this bar was famous for letting underage people in & not checking IDs. Also has a single entrance / exit which is very narrow and a single staircase going down (where fire started)

I caught a few wonderful sunsets while on the coast near Antibes and Nice in the run up to the end of the year

Last rays of a sun already set, reflecting on clouds seen behind the ridges of the Esterel

The sun's orange disc just starts to set behind the Cap d'Antibes, its light reflecting in the dark blue sea

Only a half disk remains, clouds are lit many hours of orange, some clouds dark grey, the sea steel blue

Statue of Neptune or other, spearing something with his trident, last glow of the sun already set behind, sea and hills all gradually losing their colours

Recommanded for Christmas: Giuseppe Tartarotti's works - in the meantime, enjoy his art and self-irony tartarotti.wordpress.com/2025/12/17/l...

Comic books author with a beard and a Santa Claus costume in his sleigh, with a mix of animals hitched to it: two deers (looking upset), one tyrannosaurus, and the author's dog (all of them have Christmas Deer head ornaments).

The author shouts: AHEAD! OUT WITH LAZINESS! and advertises his most recent books, and says they have to ensure there are enough in all the bookstores!

Tyrannosaurus asks the dog: "can I eat him?"

Well the starting paragraph is 🔥

Opening paragraph from this review:

Indebted to Biblical Hebrew and Rabelaisian French, tohu-bohu means ‘[t]hat
which is empty and formless; chaos; utter confusion’, or so claims the electronic
edition of the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) — a fitting sobriquet, I suggest,
for the meretricious Comparative Law: A Very Short Introduction (VSI), a text easily
assignable to ‘comparative law’s dark side’.

Giuseppe Tartarotti is not on BlueSky I think. So I am going to post more of his art, which brings me joy every time. This was in reply to a friend asking "how many cats do you need to make a Christmas tree?" - to which Giuseppe answered: "Yes!" See it at: tartarotti.wordpress.com/2025/12/13/g...

Clearly starting by the problem of different definitions, as one should. It starts with a banger of an example on "administrative definitions": Chongqing Municipality in China is *the size of Austria*

The municipality of Chongqing, China, whose administrative jurisdictional area is approximately the size of Austria, has the largest population of any city proper; over 70% of its residents live in rural areas.

New airport terminal looks great and is finished but not open yet for not totally clear (political? Waiting for elections? Whatever?) reasons. So it's all still in the not-even-that-old terminal. Overuse has aged it prematurely, though. You can see architecture wasn't all bad but it's drab at best
