Think I’m out after today. Been a good five years news heads. Maybe I’ll jump back in if WWIII starts. Cheers

Ah yes, the Endless Frontiers Retreat. My favorite retreat, personally!

Yeah very good point – imagine having a light society and a dark society, both with very different evolutions lol it’d be like all the crazy stuff at the bottom of the ocean except just…straight over there

The cool thing about this situation is that 1) even though the star is a red dwarf, K2-18b is within its relative goldilocks zone, which would provide the right conditions for life as we know it. 2) Scientists detected carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere a few years ago, which is cool but not a revolutionary thing. But now they’ve detected a LOT of molecules only produced by living organisms (that we know of), mainly phytoplankton, which would be the first detection of its kind in that amount and is a revolutionary thing. 3) Their confidence in the data is 99.7%, and they’re releasing the data to the community in a few days for people to verify. Like, unless there’s some crazy way for these molecules to be created that defies our current understanding of all of biology, there are living organisms on that planet

High levels of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and dimethyl disulfide (DMDS)! Wow!

Uh huh. And when I did it, the judge said “it constituted a warcrime” (it didn’t) and that I’m “no better than Joseph Kony” (I am). BS

I think a comment like this is fun to write but honestly very far from reality. I don’t think there will be protests organized in a way that would invite this sort of cartoonish state hammer at all. It’s almost like going through the motions of a descent into fascism, but not really reaching any of the dramatic milestones because there just isn’t any resistance to it, and would be fascists doing it don’t really know what to do with that. And then the object not in very much motion continues to stay not in very much motion, despite the spectacle

I feel like that’s an appeal to the left, and I don’t think Dems are going to do that, with their new target political subjects concerned about immigration. I think they’ll sweep it under the rug and position themselves as “stepping in to do it the right way; not to look backward but from here on” type thing

Oh wait I’ve got a protest sign with a really witty play on words that’s just the thing to stop this

Well they are “Lib1” smdh opsec people, come on now

“Listen, the trains have been transporting the human-cattle to Poland since before we got into office. We can’t change anything without breaking the system”

Oh god

Is this officially the first Supreme Court order Trump is ignoring

Edit: also occurring to me there’s a small chance this guy is already dead / very fucked up and that’s why there’s all this “I’m powerless” theater. Much more likely Trump just doesn’t want to comply, but it’s a possibility

Never seen a more perfect meme for liberalism

Is it possible then the Fed will react to falling dollar strength (via decreasing foreign holdings of US assets) with interest rate increases, as their means of counteracting it?

Is that because they know re-industrialization in the US is a fantasy? When was the last time there was mass investor fear in US treasuries? Did that even happen in 08

Oops! Out of Saviour Schnapps!

It reads to me like, “You don’t have grounds to complain about being affected by the cutbacks because you haven’t been affected by the cutbacks yet” lol

Supreme Court OKs Trump’s mass firing of new federal workers, blocking S.F. judge’s rehire order

Hold the phone, I was told voting for Joseph R Biden in 2020 would prevent this

Panican? As in like those who panic? Lmao what my man
