You cannot write something everyone will like. Nobody ever has. Trying to please everyone will have you revising the same story forever. Writing for a specific audience gives you clarity of what to focus on. It can be attorneys, or 30-something lesbians, or an imaginary rubber duck. Write for them.

Good news! The final ENTSO-E report into the Spain blackout is out A complex stew of different factors, but "too much solar" is simply not even among them, let alone a major component. As always: the narrative built by fossil/nuke advocates was wrong www.entsoe.eu/news/2026/03...

Summary
The final report of the Expert Panel on the 28 April 2025 blackout in continental Spain and Portugal identifies the causes of the blackout and outlines recommendations to strengthen the resilience of Europe’s interconnected electricity system. It was prepared by a technical Expert Panel of 49 members, including representatives from Transmission System Operators (TSOs), Regional Coordination Centres (RCCs), ACER and National Regulatory Authorities (NRAs), and was chaired by experts from two unaffected TSOs.

The investigation concludes that the blackout resulted from a combination of many interacting factors, including oscillations, gaps in voltage and reactive power control, differences in voltage regulation practices, rapid output reductions and generator disconnections in Spain, and uneven stabilisation capabilities. These factors led to fast increases of voltage and cascading generation disconnections in Spain, resulting in the blackout in continental Spain and Portugal.

Based on these findings, the Expert Panel sets out recommendations addressing each of the factors identified in the report to help prevent similar events in the future. These include strengthened operational practices, improved monitoring of system behaviour and closer coordination and data exchange among power system actors. The findings of the investigation also underscore the need for regulatory frameworks to adapt in order to support the evolving nature of the power system.

The 28 April blackout was a first of its kind event, and the recommendations aim to strengthen system resilience with solutions that are already technologically deployable. This blackout highlights how developments at the local level can have system-wide implications and underlines the importance of maintaining strong links between local and European system behaviour and coordination, while ensuring that market…

Whales were really stressed when humans hunted them. But when whaling activities dropped during WWII, whales were more stressed. That's because sound travels far in the ocean, so it's super stressful when humans are busy bombing each other. War is bad for everyone. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A dual-axis line graph spanning from 1870 to 2030 tracking two variables over time for blue, fin, and humpback whales in the Northern Hemisphere. The left y-axis measures baseline-corrected cortisol as a percentage (ranging from approximately 20% to 70%), plotted as a black line with solid triangle markers and error bars. The right y-axis measures whale counts (ranging from 0 to 45,000), plotted as a blue line with solid circle markers and error bars. Both lines begin in the 1870s, with cortisol starting around 42% and whale counts low, and both gradually rise through the early 20th century. A gray hatched vertical bar marks the World War II period (1939–1945), during which whaling counts drop sharply to their lowest pre-moratorium levels while cortisol continues to rise, diverging from the otherwise close tracking between the two variables. After WWII, whaling counts recover and surge dramatically, peaking in the early 1960s at roughly 25,000, while cortisol reaches its 20th-century maximum of approximately 68% around the same time. A red dashed vertical line marks the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, after which both whaling counts and cortisol decline steeply through the late 1970s. Whaling counts continue falling toward zero by the 1990s and remain there through 2020, while cortisol rebounds from the 1980s onward, rising back toward 60% by the 2000s before declining slightly. A horizontal gray dashed line marks the whaling stress mean at approximately 50% cortisol, and a red diamond on the far right of the graph indicates the whaling stress mean reference point near 27,000 on the whale counts axis.

The millions killed by US/European sanctions alone in recent decades—I mean not even counting the wars and the bombings—aren't usually counted as the death toll of a great war. In fact, they don't even rise to the level of "distraction." Mass death is just the background noise of late capitalism.
