The meme here is a reminder that the bagpipe is one of the best tools for social distancing.

Kidding aside, as a result of its heavy commitment to renewable energy, wind in particular, Scotland is generating twice as much power as it’s consuming, transmitting massive amounts to England to the south. (more…)

Imagine a version of today’s United States in which every American understood what Teddy Roosevelt is commanding us to do in the meme here.  Think of how different a place this would be.

Fox News wouldn’t exist, but more importantly, Donald Trump would be just one more sleazy conman, hounded by the justice system, probably winding up in prison.

It’s hard to know what motivated the bicyclist here to don this fabulous costume.  Maybe he’s trying to convey an important message: transition away from beef.  Moving our diets down the food chain benefits our health, the planet, and the animal kingdom.

Senator Jim Inhofe (R-OK) was one of the eight lawmakers, all Republicans, who voted against the coronavirus relief package on Wednesday.

Inhofe is probably best known for bringing a snowball onto the Senate floor, so as to make the point that the existence of snow is proof that climate change is a hoax.

Still doing his thing, ruining people’s lives.

The Green Deal is a proposal from the European Union’s brand new European Commission.  The proposal lacks full detail at this point, but, if fleshed out and implemented, it would make the EU net-zero carbon by 2050. Yet certain European countries have deeply entrenched interests in coal, and this, as one might expect, means pushing back against clean energy.  From GreenTech Media:

Sorry, but Trump won’t resign.  Nobody knows what he’ll do, but facing the truth and acting like a rational human being simply won’t happen.

Look at the behavior we’ve seen, perfectly consistent from the day he took office.  If something good happens anywhere on the globe, he takes full and immediate credit for it.  He takes bad news, regardless of how directly it implicates him in some form of ineptitude or wrongdoing, and flips it on its head.  Sometimes this “flipping” invokes accusing the media and/or the Democrats of inventing fake news designed to damage him; sometimes it’s the “deep state,” working mischievously behind the scenes to have him removed.  Sometimes it’s something else.  He does whatever it takes, regardless of how patently absurd.  (more…)

“It’s not a concern,” Reverend Tony Spell said of the pandemic, following his service to a packed house of 1,700. “The virus, we believe, is politically motivated. We hold our religious rights dear and we are going to assemble no matter what someone says.” (more…)
