Back in 2007, my wife (Sociology prof) was offered a chance to interview at a university in Florida. I'm glad she decided not to.

'Substantial Shortfall' in Copper Supply Widens as the Race for AI and Growing Defense Spending Add to Accelerating Demand, New S&P Global Study Finds /PRNewswire/ -- A looming copper supply gap is poised to widen as electricity demand accelerates and new vectors—such as the race for artificial intelligence...

Oh dip peak copper is less than half a decade away. We are so fucked. www.prnewswire.com/news-release...

Sea level rise is predicted to be (eventually) 75 meters. 246 feet.

So why does the NOAA web site's sea level rise map top out at 10 feet of sea level rise?

Why are people always yelling at The Left, a group almost entirely shut out of public life, including mainstream news outlets. You are mad at people on social media. Get a life

We're about to start a war with Iran. We probably haven't planned it out any better than our Venezuelan attack.

Spider-Man’s weirdest meme only gets weirder with context Why doesn’t the pterodactyl man want to cure cancer?

Explainer for those of who probably already know the meme but want to know more backstory: www.polygon.com/2020/4/13/21...

this started a holy war, so let me state a very plain and direct argument for this

the democratic primary is when we decide if we get to have things be good or mid

the general election is when you decide if you dislike nazis

douglas adams was our most accurate futurist

Will it be national news? Will it cause performative outrage? Will he be censured?

Nope. Forgotten by tomorrow.

Under compensation, this was my favorite bullet:

Showed my wife this thread and she didn't understand even one. Apparently she's never seen LOTR.

Going to start her on the70's version of Th Hobbit.

Meija's lead was razor thin and the difference might have been that she was first in at least some ballots (including mine in Montclair). Insiders used to get that slot.

Candace Owens Gets Inside TPUSA’s Head Her nutty theories about the killing of Charlie Kirk have won over some of his organization’s employees.

A down side of working with conspiracy theorists is that you can't reason with them if they get upset with you.

Love in a cold climate: Winter Olympic village runs out of condoms after three days Free condoms for competitors at the Winter Olympics have run out within a record-breaking three days

They’re just out there setting records at everything.

In the blanket incident, Noem had to switch planes after a maintenance issue was discovered, but her blanket wasn't moved to the second plane, according to the people familiar with the incident. The Coast Guard pilot was initially fired and told to take a commercial flight home when they reached their destination. They eventually reinstated the pilot because no one else was available to fly them home.

The details of the Kristi Noem blanket incident are just fucking perfect

Not an official it but lots of people seems to be building their own variants: www.google.com/search?q=leg...

This is the end result of Republican science denial. No one will be spared from the devastation their ignorance releases.

We need to stop accommodating these science deniers, even rhetorically. "Fuck you, and have some clean air anyway" should be our response.

Apple warned by FTC over alleged lack of conservative news The tech giant is facing pressure over claims that its news app does not feature articles from conservative outlets.

That golden tchotchke he gave to Trump doesn't seem to have bought Apple any exception from their demands

Decided to YOLO my way through some un-shoveled snow in my long driveway.

It did not go well.

Have we not eaten while another starved? Will you punish us for that? Will you reward us for the virtue of starving while others ate? No man earns punishment, no man earns reward. Free your mind of the idea of deserving, the idea of earning, and you will begin to be able to think

hell yeah, fuck the IOC

Oh, you think you walk the path of Christ? Name one sex worker who would weep over your death

Musk has resting nobody-checks-my-math face

Not like Canada is trying to make the US a Province

They're building concentration camps, Chuck.

Killing American citizens.

If ICE isn't following the standards that other agencies follow, then they're breaking the law, Chuck.

I don't want my tax dollars going to support any of this, Chuck. 4 out of 5 Democrats agree.

They're building concentration camps with my tax money Chuck. They're torturing children. They're murdering innocent people on the street. What are you doing.

This blowhard claimed he'd send people to Mars by 2029. Now he promises moon colonies in a decade.

Dude is simultaneously telling us it's cheaper to lift data centers and solar power into orbit than to run them on the ground without lifting them.

Only thing the President saw was that the country cheered for a guy who doesn't think much of him. Like most of us.

This one hit hard for me and my two sides in the fridge
