In the middle of the 20th century, the atom was all the rage. Radiation was the shiny new solution to everything while being similarly poorly understood by the general public and a great deal of th…
The October Revolution, also known as the Great October Socialist Revolution (in Soviet historiography), October coup, Bolshevik coup, or Bolshevik revolution, was the second of two revolutions in Russia in 1917. It was led by Vladimir Lenin's Bolsheviks as part of the broader Russian Revolution of 1917–1923. It began through an insurrection in Petrograd (now Saint Petersburg) on 7 November 1917. It was the precipitating event of the Russian Civil War. The initial stage of the October Revolution, which involved the assault on Petrograd, occurred largely without any casualties.
Everyone keeps talking about greenhouse gases, but it feels like nobody is talking about the immense amounts of straight-up heat we're pumping into the atmosphere today. Transportation, infrastructure, and datacenters are all heating up our atmosphere, and greenhouse gases only amplify it. :/
In case you hadn’t noticed, we live in a dangerous world. While our soft, fleshy selves are remarkably good at absorbing kinetic energy and healing the damage that results, there are very def…
Unprofitable, Unpopular, Overpriced, and Unsubsidized EVs Begin Falling Like Dominoes in the U.S., and the List So Far Includes Nissan’s Ariya, Acura’s ZDX, Ford’s 3-Row SUV, and RAM’s Rev - Here’s What’s Next for Failing EV Models
Battery electric vehicle deliveries are about to head off a cliff in America. With only the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y being successful, the remaining models will fall like dominoes, one after the other. Here are the first four to have already fallen.
After the rapture failed to happen on Tuesday, many Christians are blaming it on the fact Donald Trump hasn't released a trove of documents relating to Jeffrey Epstein

Electronic Arts, maker of video games like Madden NFL, Battlefield and The Sims, is being acquired for $55 billion US, the biggest leveraged buyout attempt in history.
Under the terms of a deal announced on Monday, the private equity firm Silver Lake Partners, Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund PIF and Affinity Partners will pay the company's stockholders $210 per share. Affinity Partners is a private equity firm run by President Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner.
Electronic Arts (EA) would be taken private. The total value of the deal eclipses the $32 billion paid to take Texas utility TXU private in 2007.
If the transaction closes as anticipated, it will end EA's 36-year history as a publicly traded company that began with its shares ending its first day of trading at a split-adjusted 52 cents.
In a 7-4 decision, the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit rejected Trump's argument that the tariffs were permitted under an emergency economic powers act, calling them "invalid as contrary to law".
@jeffcliff @CozyNCDdude, i don't wanna hear this shit, the left has interfered with so many people's lives just to get this shit on hte books int he first place.
@reallyangry @CozyNCD No, it's not. They are genetically virtually identical to you compared to non-human species. You just want them to be more different than they are.
@jeffcliff @CozyNCDare you making a non semantic argument about their humanity? no shit, i'm telling yout his for your omiwn good, the choices some people make are detrimental to society as a whole's continued survival and when we decide that society should cater to the whims of faggots it destroys the very fabric of a society worth living in.
@jeffcliff @CozyNCDbecause you're canadian you know what americans feel, my mom is a normie republican and she's pretty fucking tired of how things are. good weeather vane.
@reallyangry @CozyNCD Sure you can, there are plenty of safe places to light fires. You just have to get the kid to those places and show them about fire safety.
@DMA @CozyNCD There is no devil. You are believing the fairy tales of a bronze age civilization who didn't understand a thing about 99.9999999% of the universe.
Covid vaccines are not 'gene editing technology' and there is no such thing as a 'god gene'. And people are not 'lifeless and useless' - you have a theory of mind problem
@DMA @CozyNCD Oh right you probably don't even know because you were one of the assholes who ignored the mandates and probably didn't test at all. ie YOU killed YOUR OWN brother
Accountability and truth, is that like trump completely dropping charges to his buddies, like moving ghislaine to a cushy prison? Accountability and truth like releasing all the j6ers?? Accountability and truth like claiming that magical medbeds exist, that tariffs are tax cuts and that global warming is a hoax? Accountability and truth like...doing absolutely nothing about the MILLION americans killed by covid?
But remind me: do viruses exist/cause disease? yes or no. Let's see how firm your handle on "truth" is
@jeffcliff @CozyNCDyou at least see what i mean, iids are generally incapable without guidance of knowing the right time or place for fire and how to do so safely, and that's why women shouldn't vote.
@jeffcliff @CozyNCD @wecanfixthistbbh i've never dabbled in outright microorganism denial, i really just doubt hte severity of the vocid virus cuz you kjnow it's evolved to be less potentate.
@reallyangry @CozyNCD @wecanfixthis of course new viruses that haven't been around for awhile are a threat. But it's a potential threat rather than covid, which about 1in 70 people in my city is shedding infectious particles of right now.
@jeffcliff @CozyNCD @wecanfixthisnew viruses that are as old as the dinosaurs are prolly less likely to be a problem tbh, they didn't evovle with us since they were frozen up north sot hey prolly dont'tt have any attack vectors that work, which keeps us safe, but there's always a chacne that something bad could happen,t hat's how life is tho.
@wecanfixthis @CozyNCD @reallyangry "paper" masks do help stop them -- they don't stop all of them but they do prevent most of them from coming in. The n95 masks are even better at doing so.
But do these small viral particles cause disease yes or no
@reallyangry @CozyNCD @wecanfixthis Not really, no it hasn't much at all. It evolves to take more advantage of our organs and do more, not less damage over time
@reallyangry @CozyNCD @wecanfixthis actually this is true -- it does seem like covid gets into the balls and they may serve as a long-term/permanent reservoir of infection, causing damage to sperm cells as they go
@jeffcliff @CozyNCD @wecanfixthisi jsut find the serendipitous humor of covid actually likes to go in your ablls to replicate cuz it's immunoprivileged site and "stored in the balls meme" lining up. pretty funny.
@jeffcliff @CozyNCD @wecanfixthiswell, tbh most diseases are caused by our body's reaction to w/e infection tbh, so do dieseases get caused by viruses? inadvertantly.
@reallyangry @CozyNCD @wecanfixthis it is what it is. some viruses have been with us since forever and we've adapted to use them and their dna. we don't have to do that with covid
@reallyangry @jeffcliff @CozyNCD this point should be noted. People hate troons, and the inability to cut the T of the LG is going to sink all of them. Also there's no B, non-existent, just covers the indecisive. Should've just come up with a different term to give the gays the legal status to their partnership.
