NEW: Biofuels globally emit more than the fossil fuels they replace, our latest study shows.

The first-of-a-kind study looks at global biofuels production today and the potential impacts of government biofuel targets.

Hey @bsky.app, how come we can click on a person's avatar picture and see it full size, but we can't with their profile wallpaper pic (or whatever you call it)?

There are some people out there with what look like fantastic pictures that deserve to be seen. Seems this would be an easy fix, no?

Idaho. Known worldwide for its open acceptance of other cultures and religions. Gonna be fire when ICE starts abducting Qatari service members.

Kentucky man arrested for Halloween decorations depicting local officials in body bags A man in eastern Kentucky is facing charges after his "Halloween decorations" depicted local officials in body bags, police said.

Any place else, this would be called "inconceivable" or something similar. In Trump's Amerika, it's called "just another Friday".

A dog fell asleep on me. I am now stuck here until she wakes up. That's the house rule.

There's a difference between Democrats winning and Republicans losing.

As before the shutdown, I see Chris Murphy, AOC, Bernie, and a small handful working. The rest, including these two clowns, are MIA enjoying their Epstein Files Fall Break.

D's aren't winning. R's are just losing. Not the same.

I'm amazed that, when you consider the amount of public exposure they are certain to get, that any CSM would allow them out in public.

Especially after the Hegseth freak show/speech the other day that was so fixated on "Warrior" optics.

He's entitled to live, yes. All people are. He wrote a book, 8 years ago, that everyone should read.

That said, the Portland Frog and thousands of others did more to combat tyranny yesterday than Snyder.

I'll leave this long enough for you to see it, then blocking you. πŸ––

Timothy Snyder. Man spent a lifetime becoming an expert in tyranny: how it forms, how to recognize it, how to fight it.

Then, the moment comes:

Exclusive: Citing Cuban fighters in Ukraine, US urges allies to shun Havana at UN President Donald Trump's administration is mobilizing U.S. diplomats to lobby against a U.N. resolution calling on Washington to lift its decades-long embargo on Cuba, in part by sharing details of Cuba’s support for Russia’s war in Ukraine, according to an internal State Department cable seen by Reuters.

Irony Alert:

Country that's supporting Russia's war against Ukraine wants countries to shun another country that's supporting Russia's war against Ukraine.

I've not seen CNN or MSNBC utter a single syllable about Trump's 4-day disappearance, days after his garbled speech at Quantico, a month after a 6-day disappearance. Strangeness, health questions, incongruities, inconsistencies - nothing.
Not even to just say it happened. Normalization on steroids.

I keep seeing memes/posts about "300 ICE agents rappelling from Blackhawks".

The fact that matters here is the number is greater than zero, by any amount.

Exaggerating into/beyond absurdity on one point allows people to write off the entire story.

Anduril and Palantir battlefield communication system has deep flaws, Army memo says The much-needed modernization of the U.S. Army's battlefield communications network being undertaken by Anduril, Palantir and others is rife with "fundamental security" problems and vulnerabilities, and should be treated as a "very high risk," according to a recent internal Army memo.

Shocking news, if it wasn't so 100% predictable.

"fundamental security problems and vulnerabilities"
"very high risk"
"likelihood of an adversary gaining persistent undetectable access"

In other words, performs precisely as designed. Backdoors and access to the highest bidder.
