Do Americans know that their Vice President was in Hungary campaigning for a Putin ally to be reelected, instead of in DC during a war in which Putin is helping Iran target Americans?

Earlier, I posted a video of a lady octopus throwing rocks at an annoying male. It has been brought to my attention the video was AI. Since I abhor AI, I’ve deleted that post. Please enjoy this real video of a lady octopus throwing stuff at annoying males with my apologies.

LOL, trying to stay offline and do my work, and friends are sending me

"LOOK AT THIS NEW PIC!" texts ....

First PoC and first woman to go around another world. Don't stop talking about this point. It's important.

i firmly believe that kennedy wants preventable diseases to rip through american communities since, in his warped mind, those who survive without vaccines will have proven themselves “healthy.”

something that wrinkles my brain every time I remember it is the fact that total eclipses are only possible on earth because the moon and sun appear to be the same size in our sky, due to the insanely, astronomically unlikely fluke that the moon is 400x smaller than the sun but 400x closer to us.

Those four #Artemis astronauts went from weightlessness to a 3+G re-entry to splashdown and now they’ve been at 1G bobbing in the ocean for half an hour while they wait to get pulled out of their little tin can. I do not envy how their stomachs must be feeling right now. 😬

Before the war in Iran, the average driver in the US spent around $1,900 a year on gas. We spend about $320 to power our EV by charging at home.

Bonus: Our EV can also power our house during a blackout. (a lot of EVs have bidirectional charging capability.)

Aanrader!!

dit verhaal, over de Santa Marta klimaattop, eind van deze maand in Columbia,

- mede georganiseerd door Nederland

- 85 landen willen serieus af van fossiel.

- even groot als 🇺🇸 en 🇨🇳 samen

- dit is geen VN-initiatief, dus geen consensus, maar besluit door meerderheid

- hoopvol

Heat batteries are a game changer for decarbonising heat.

Polar Night Energy and Lahti Energia Oy have partnered to construct what is expected to become the world’s largest sand-based thermal energy storage system, to be built in Vääksy, Finland.
