Uh ho. Us Green councillors at SDC are in a tight spot. People have complained about Dale Vince and his draping the Ecotricity HQ in the the Palestinan flag.
A statement’s been put out and the Green Party stressed it had no option but to police planning regulations as required by legislation – but that the leading group of councillors at Ebley Mill supports Ecotricity’s move.
The Council had received public complaints about the Ecotricity flag, so SDC officers were obliged to take advice on the matter. This confirmed that the Palestinian flag is not listed among those with automatic or deemed consent, because Palestine is not a state recognised by the UK Government (unlike in 147 of 193 UN Member States). As a result, the Council has had to invite Ecotricity to submit a planning application for the flag on its building.Unfortunately, this disappointing outcome is not a matter where political leadership can intervene: councillors, even those who are part of a council’s administration, have no influence over this aspect of planning policy – rightly so, as politics should be kept out of such planning decisions.
Regardless of the action SDC is required to take as Local Planning Authority under national legislation, the Green group of councillors and the rest of Stroud District Green Party support Ecotricity in the decision to display the Palestinian flag on their building.
The Ecotricity flag is a symbol of solidarity with the Palestinian people, and a protest against the violations of international law and the catastrophic violence being inflicted on them by the Israeli government. We join with Ecotricity in calling for an end to the genocide in Gaza and we share their support for all civilians caught up in the conflict. We will be writing to Dale Vince to express this support.
The Greens believe that this situation highlights the pressing need for the UK government to formally recognise the State of Palestine.
Recognising Palestine is a vital step towards justice, equality and a sustainable peace.
It demonstrates a commitment to international law and a balanced approach to the region.

Predator’s Pause
I originally thought the insect in this image was a dragonfly, but now I suspect it’s probably a grasshopper. Either way, it clearly caught the attention of this northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos). They seem to be getting along quite well—though, to be fair, that’s probably only true from the mockingbird’s perspective.

Das Bild zeigt eine animierte Figur, die einem alten Mann mit einem langen weißen Bart und einem violetten Gewand mit goldenen Verzierungen ähnelt. Er sitzt an einem Tisch und hat beide Hände erhoben, als würde er sprechen oder eine Geste machen. Der Hintergrund besteht aus gotischen Fenstern mit kunstvollen Musterungen und massiven Holzvertäfelungen, was auf eine historische oder magische Umgebung hinweist. Die Figur hat eine ernste Miene und wirkt autoritär.

Das Bild zeigt eine Szene aus einem Lego-Animationsspiel, die an die Harry-Potter-Welt erinnert. Im Vordergrund stehen vier Lego-Figuren in einem gotischen Saal mit Steinmauern und einem Fenster im Hintergrund. Die Figuren tragen Schuluniformen mit einem grünen Wappen auf der Brust, was auf eine Schule für Zauberer hinweist. Von links nach rechts: eine Figur mit braunen Haaren, eine Figur mit roten Haaren, eine Figur mit schwarzen Haaren und Brille, und eine Figur mit roten Haaren, die sich von den anderen abwendet. Die Figuren stehen hinter einem steinernen Geländer, das den Saal trennt. Die Atmosphäre ist ernst und dramatisch, was auf eine wichtige Szene hinweist.

Das Bild zeigt eine Szene aus einem großen, mittelalterlich gestalteten Saal, der von vielen Figuren mit unterschiedlichen Haarfarben und -stilen besetzt ist. Die Figuren sitzen an langen Holztischen, die in Reihen angeordnet sind, und tragen dunkle Roben. Die Saaldecke ist mit Fenstern ausgestattet, die Sonnenlicht hereinlassen, das die Steinfliesen des Bodens beleuchtet. An den Wänden hängen Laternen und Wappen, die dem Raum eine historische Atmosphäre verleihen. Im Vordergrund stehen einige Figuren, die auf eine Person am Ende des Saals blicken, die sich an einem Tisch befindet. Die Szene wirkt wie eine Versammlung oder ein Mahl in einem magischen oder fantastischen Kontext.

Das Bild zeigt eine Szene aus einem LEGO-Film, die an Hogwarts aus dem Harry-Potter-Universum erinnert. Im Vordergrund steht ein LEGO-Figur mit grünem Umhang, der einen großen, gelben Hut hält. Der Hut ist ein Symbol für die Zugehörigkeit zu einer der vier Hogwarts-Schulen: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw oder Slytherin. Im Hintergrund sitzen mehrere LEGO-Figuren in schwarz-weißen Uniformen mit grünen Schleifen, die die Gryffindor-Schule repräsentieren. Diese Figuren sind in einer großen Halle versammelt, die mit Steinwänden und Tischen aus Holz eingerichtet ist. Die Atmosphäre wirkt ernst und erwartungsvoll, da die Figuren auf die Zuteilung zu einer der Hogwarts-Schulen warten. Die Szene ist detailliert und zeigt die Architektur und die Atmosphäre des Hogwarts-Schlosses.

Φαίνεται ότι, εκτός από τις κοινές θερμοκρασίες σε Τέξας και Λάρισα, υπάρχει και κάτι άλλο κοινό, που δεν είναι άλλο από την αντίληψη των διοικήσεων για τα δικαιώματα των κρατουμένων.
Τις πιο ακραίες συνθήκες αντιμετωπίζουν οι κρατούμενοι στις φυλακές Λάρισας, όπου, σύμφωνα με μαρτυρίες πρώην κρατουμένων, η σωφρονιστική υπηρεσία -με πρόσχημα ότι ο πίνακας δεν σηκώνει πολλές ηλεκτρικές συσκευές- περιορίζει τη δυνατότητα κατοχής σε έναν ανεμιστήρα ανά θάλαμο οκτώ ατόμων.

Every billionaire is proof our system is broken. As hospitals struggle and schools face cuts, a tiny elite hoard unimaginable wealth. Taxing the super-rich isn’t radical - it’s common sense. Billionaires are not a sign of success but policy failure. As greens we have been calling for a wealth tax since 2017. Since then inequality has widened. Let’s tax wealth, invest in people, and build a fairer society for everyone.

@bufalo1973 @Blort @petrisch @unifiedpush @Matomo legit question! So historically, we're on Github - long story, but soit. We think occasionally about moving. There are, of course, features to think about (we use a LOT of GH features). But also the network effect - yes, some ppl don't like github but it's still huge.
Personally, I would move if there's a properly federated alternative. I feel like that's not the case right now, technically and in terms of network size.

I must say, I have always loved the high-power RF-excited sulphur lamps, which were used at the National Air and Space Museum for a while. They failed in the marketplace, but not because there was anything wrong with the underlying concept.
I have an old ring-style home fluorescent light which had a promethium radioactive source for quick-starting, but it's very dead now.

They were only really used in huge lighting applications like convention centers though, so it might be impracticable to make a video about them.

Think about a geiger counter. That is a gas discharge tube, without an igniter, and the ignition is caused by nearby radioactive substances.
A few milligrams of thorium-232 (paint on the inside) or a tiny bit of krypton-85 gas will do.
