Japan's Osmotic Power Plant, Which Runs 24/7 on Nothing But Fresh Water and Seawater

Japan's plant is only the second of its kind worldwide, following one in Denmark that opened in 2023. Japan’s version is larger and marks a step forward for this little-used but promising renewable energy source

The physics is b.s. on all of them, and I don't think a single human being would actually survive any of them. At best they'd be in a hospital for the rest of their lives if they tried, but I think chances of actual survival are very close to zero.

After announcing a $20 billion bailout of Argentina, the White House now says it's pausing $18 billion in funding for NYC infrastructure projects

Russ Vought would love nothing more than to tear this country down to its studs

Doesn't matter if your goddamn grandma said it! My grandma "wasn't racist" either. She just called brazil nuts... geezus, I can't even type it... and locked the doors when a Black guy crossed in front of the car at a stoplight.

My grandma was racist. Yours prolly was to. Stop defending it.

After careful and thorough analysis, I have determined that the combined number of undocumented migrants on Medicaid AND the ACA is zero.

That means if we stopped spending the money on that, we would save zero dollars.

“I served this country” he says once he gets back up off the ground, my god, make this fucking stop 🤬 Good for the community for getting behind him 🙏

There are so many and it's happening so often that it has literally become cliche.

You couldn’t make these up because there are so many people wouldn’t believe you!

I get why TechCrunch would write it this way, but I largely disagree with this framing. The broad conversation here is about power, respect, control and whether the voices of the vulnerable are taken seriously. This is the story of a leader and a team showing that they don’t get that.

Former Reagan speechwriter pretends she has no role in any of this whatsoever. 🥴

Ronald Reagan's former staff back Harris-Walz ticket: "Today is a choice between integrity and demagoguery." They wrote in a statement that if former Republican President Ronald Reagan was alive, he would back Vice President Kamala Harris' candidacy.

Just wanna add that the joint letter from 17 former Reagan officials endorsing Kamala Harris came out 4 days before she wrote that nonsense.

The GOP Cost Increases.
All this inflation and raising of prices is brought to you by Trump/MAGA.

And it doesn't stop at the price of health insurance & healthcare costs. The costs of food, electricity, fuel, and more are all going up, sometimes dramatically.

ALL of it 100% on Trump, MAGA, & GOP.

Californians are already getting notices that their health care premiums will skyrocket in 2026 if the ACA tax credits aren’t extended. Millions of Americans will see a 114% AVERAGE annual increase. That’s ridiculous and unsustainable.

Given how unpopular he and his agenda have become, and how worse things are likely to get, Trump has two choices now:
- course correct, end the tariffs, fund health care, do things that make people's lives better
- do everything he can to prevent free and fair elections next year

Must be a day ending in 'y'

Shame on you, Tim Cook." The post includes a verified badge and a ship logo.

Apple caved to the Trump DOJ and removed the anti-ICE apps from its App Store. Cowardice.

The more of this bullshit I read, the clearer it becomes all these assholes are what happens when you pump up children's self-esteem at the cost of empathy and critical thinking.

🤔🥴😂

The fact that "anti-elitism" managed to elect the elites ... the billionaires... shows just how intellectually, morally, and ethically bankrupt any right-wing "anti-elitism" movement is.

Their inability to correctly identify "elites" is beyond disturbing. It's self-defeating.

Republicans like to claim they aren't actually cutting Medicaid.

Which is an easily disproven lie.

Donald Trump, a convicted felon found liable for civil fraud, spoke from the White House today urging pregnant women to avoid Tylenol, claiming a link to autism that experts call unfounded and dangerous to maternal and fetal health. theintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/trump-fals...

Wildest shit about asking us to save you when you’re in peril is that you clamor for help when in danger, but spend the rest of your time talking about how we can’t lead or outright ignoring what the hell we have to say.

If I can lead you when it’s fucked up. Imagine what can be done when it isn’t

White-Adjacency and White Privilege does explain some of that.

The rest is explained by sexism and misogyny.

It's not exactly shocking that the only candidate who beat Trump's straight-white-male supremacy was a white guy.

You shouldn't try to deny the obvious here.

He literally thinks a WikiPedia pages proves him right and trumps all our receipts, links, and lived experience:

Witness another White Woman stridently stating "NOT ALL WHITE WOMEN, I'M SPECIAL, GIVE ME A COOKIE" in Black People's mentions. It's so tired and cliched and tedious. Can y'all stop this shit. ANY time you fix your fingers to type "Not All...!", just stop and delete it. It's unnecessary & unwanted.
