In an attempt to protect his methane leakage regulations, Biden is pressuring EU officials to designate US LNG exports that meet new EPA methane regs as equivalent to EU standards for gas imports.

Success would give LNG sector strong incentive to maintain EPA rules & make it hard for Trump to roll them back.

Good #Slackerday Saturday morning, my fedi-folks.👋

It's a cold n cloudy start to #myday. Just a nippy 35deg and breezy. The sun is again supposed to show up n break through the clouds and shine pretty much all day #today, and warm things up a bit into the low 40s. 🌞

But, I don't think that will make it warm enough to sneek some sun soaking time outside #today, though. Especially with the cold wind blowing. But, we will just have to sit n sip n see how things develop.

So, I'm sitting here, sipping my coffee and pondering #myday, and am suddenly struck that #today is winter solstice day.

It's kinda appropriate that the shortest day of the year happens to fall on a #Slackerday. It being a day of only a few musta-dos and gotta-dos and so little daylight to do em in. But with all the pondering, procrastinating, and puttering about to get to doin em, I'm wondering if there will still be enough time in #myday to get em all done by dusk. 🤔

Winter solstice is today in Tampa Bay.

ugh, seriously?!

200 families from Tataskweyak Cree Nation won’t get Christmas hampers after a funding request under Jordan’s Principle was denied by Indigenous Services Canada for not meeting their criteria. The hampers were cancelled after groceries had already been purchased, leaving an Inuk-owned company out $20,000.

🤯☹️ Insurers refusing to cover prosthetic limbs, and lenders repossessing prosthetic limbs for non-payment.

Again, it feels like we are approaching an endgame.

What it is or when it will be, I don’t know.

But it’s coming.

6 MAGA extremists have introduced a bill in South Carolina that would allow the state to kill women who get an abortion. How? By defining a fetus as a person.

I include their public numbers in my article explaining this barbaric bill—do give them a call:

Puzzling ATAX tax news yesterday

Update 12/21/2024: I am aware that at least two major media outlet tax reporters saw my post about this on social media but still no follow-up published, as far as I can see.
