The off brand RT Bambi takes as news is as pro-mouse as it is pro-coal.

Snakes, and cats, are useless against a mice plague...poison, traps, and guns are the best weapons.
Coal is necessary in the "sensible transition to renewables"....
as coal is:

. Available.
. Reliable
. Affordable

China is building two new coal-fired power stations per week...reportedly.

Not much sense on display by the Lefist govt in bambuworld at the moment, in its mad rush to renewables.
More like non-sense.

China has issued permits to build a coal plant every two weeks but they are building a sustainable present.

"Hurricane Hilary to hit California" - Sky News

#####

Yes, nowhere is safe.
Hope it's not like the Florida one.
Are there any safe evacuation bunkers/shelters for people to run to?
Should people have packed up and left by now?

"At least 7 killed by Russian missile strike in Ukraine".
Yes, but not "10 killed by Ukrainian missile strike in Russia".
Until there is, Ukraine will just keep getting wiped out.

'Only' way the Allies won WW2 was to bomb Germany and Japan everywhere,  large bombs to make craters to hinder rescuers and blow out the windows of buildings/homes...then fire bombs, the airflow fanning the fires.
Hundreds of thousands of civilians killed.

We are hunkering down. Trouble is if you are in a dry gully or flood plain. I am at the lip of a plateau, so my main thing is getting things flat and set so they are less likely to blow around.

I wrapped my garden into unistrut frames with sunshade fabric. We will see how it does.

Won't you get blown away with your house?

Sweet Jesus, did you think The Wizard of Oz was a documentary?

He might have been referencing Up.

My house survived the last one in 53. It had already been up for 20 years at that point.

Side note: there is a connection between the book Road to Oz, a sequel to Baum's Wizard  of Oz, and a phrase, "friend of Dorothy," that used to be code in the gay community in the US.

Ukraine is willing to trade Bellgorod for peace and independence. That might be the best offer Putin gets.

[LarryB!]

The people of the Netherlands are proud to provide their F-16s to Ukraine.

The Dutch see it a retribution for MH17.

Putin must die for the war to end. Cult leader goes down takes followers with him in an ashen heap. Where have we seen this before?

[Oiled]

Waco would have probably gone better for the Branch Davidians if they had had nukes.

I don't think anyone can back down at this stage, so I think it comes down to internal strife in the Russian command structure.  Prigozhin was the first crack, more to follow.   Putin could end up dead, or he might be given option to announce his retirement and quietly retreat to his dacha.  He has played up the madman with nukes image, but if proper persuasion is applied he will step away.

[facilitatorn]

It looks like the only step away for Putin is out a window.

Another month or two like the last one and Russian lines will weaken and collapse. That could change the calculus to no small extent.

I think Putin will lose Ukraine then his life in that order.
