Paul Biggar - @paulbiggar - has laid it on the line in no uncertain terms.

The Zionist Israeli war against the Palestinian people is wrong. Utterly, completely wrong.

Paul has written of his frustrations and made his stand in an excellent piece here:

https://blog.paulbiggar.com/i-cant-sleep/

Thoughful, researched, and heartfelt.

"People I thought were friends, were allies. So much humanity for those killed on October 7th, none for the people killed on the 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, or in November or December."

Give it a read.

Edit: Paul's address.

Wind tubines:

1. Kill whales.

Bullshit. Constantly referring to results published nowhere from a study that never took place remains bullshit.

2. Reduce ocean swells, killing surfing.

Bullshit. You would have to build a literal wall of turbine towers to stop ocean swell, which developes over hundreds of kilometres. The best surf involves ocean swell and offshore winds, which simply can't be affected by offshore wind turbines.

3. Reduce onshore winds by 40%.

Bullshit. There is no indication that wind turbines reduce onshore winds. The wind continues past the turbine blades, they don't block it; they don't even slow it down by any reasonable measure. A couple of hundred metres past the turbine you can't measure any effect at all.

4. Reduce fishing catches.

Bullshit. The tower bases, buried in the ocean bed, provide safe places for fish nurseries and coral growth, increasing the local fish population.

Don't buy into the disinformation being spread in order to stop offshore wind turbine installations. Look at who benefits from them not going ahead.

Fun? No. But if it saves some $200+ ...

@HistoPol @shantara

Or just by an adaptor for $20.

@goatsarah @capibarabot

Indeed ... 🤣

How are these animals so dang laid-back? 😍

This would freak me out too 😳

On a modern yacht in the middle of the ocean with a broken rudder, send out a call for help, then out of the misty past THIS, the Götheborg out of Sweden, comes to rescues you ... Wow!

[The arrival of the Götheborg on the scene was rapid and surprising, as we did not expect to see a merchant ship from the East India Company of the XVIII century. This moment was very strange, and we wondered if we were dreaming. Where were we? What time period was it?]

What a beautiful ship 😍

No no no! Never use a chainsaw on cloth – even cheap Chinese cloth – it can damage the chainsaw.

Use a flamethrower.
