A snapshot of the #ElectricityGeneration mix right now in #GreatBritain. There’s a fair bit of #Wind nationally which is producing about a third and a little more is being produced by #SolarEnergy. #FossilFuels, or #Gas, is only being required to provide an almost negligible amount, although that will have to pick up a bit at night.

I saw this in a café (Le Boxx in Malmö - their coffee is outstanding!) and I can't find a logical flaw in the argument.

@tommorris There have been hints that the US President is watching mistranslated, auto-dubbed interviews with other heads of state and it having consequences.

There's a reason why interpretation is a job with educational requirements.

Here at subMedia, we believe strongly in the principle of revolutionary internationalism. To that end, we are very pleased to announce the launch of Spanish and German social media accounts, and versions of our website. Along with an ongoing commitment to release our future videos in both Spanish and German -- on top of already working in English, French and Portuguese.

This has been a long time in the works and as we move through these dark times we know that building meaningful working relationships and solidarity, across borders is the most effective strategy we have for fighting an organized global elite. We hope that our media project can in some way help to facilitate this cross border solidarity.

We’re starting from the beginning in building out our Spanish and German catalogues, focusing first on our A is for Anarchy series and a selection of other short films. This Day in Anarchist History has been available in Spanish since its inception on Kolektiva, thanks to the work of our comrades at Coordinadora Anarquista - Tejiendo Libertad (CATL). We plan on translating and releasing more older subMedia videos with Spanish and German voice-overs at a rate that is sustainable for the crew.
