Just heard the saddest news. My friend Keith "Tha Missile Bass" Bailey whose band Here and Now were the best thing to happen in my life has left us to play the great gig in the sky. Aside from his music he was an absolutely top fella and a legend on the festival scene. Heartbreaking news. RIP mate x

How beautiful are these solar modules‽ They are designed specifically for agricultural installations and only convert into electricity the wavelengths of sunlight plants do not use for photosynthesis.the results are improved harvest and more comfortable greenhouse spaces.

In 2025, convinced by the potential of Voltiris technology, Ruedi Meier and Toni Suter became the first growers in the world to adopt the Voltiris solution at the hectare scale—a major milestone in their journey toward CO₂-neutral greenhouse production.

I'm not sure why the British Prime Minister (in this capacity) sends public condolences on the shooting of Kirk who has had no government office or public life achievement. Technically, Kirk was the co-founder & CEO of a US non-profit. It's a domestic incident. I find this diplomatically unusual.
Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer

My thoughts this evening are with the loved ones of Charlie Kirk.

It is heartbreaking that a young family has been robbed of a father and a husband.

We must all be free to debate openly and freely without fear - there can be no justification for political violence.
