Don't overstate 1.5 degrees C threat, new IPCC head says
  • All of that whataboutism doesn't stop nuclear from being a ridiculously expensive form of power generation.

  • Is it just me, or are conspiracy theories trending right now?
  • UAP business aside, I’m glad congress is asking questions. We shouldn’t be paying taxes and then have our money just disappear into a black hole with zero accountability and oversight.

  • Alito ‘stunningly wrong’ that Senate can’t impose supreme court ethics rules
  • If that happened I’d expect to see Biden go all in on packing the court. The gloves would be well and truly off at that point.

  • Don't overstate 1.5 degrees C threat, new IPCC head says
  • Nuclear takes too long to build out and costs way more than renewables + storage. Why advocate for wasting money?

  • Alito ‘stunningly wrong’ that Senate can’t impose supreme court ethics rules
  • The court is no longer fit for purpose. Where we go now is anyone’s guess.

  • What are worrying signs that society's intelligence is slipping?
  • It's a false premise. What happened is that the internet allowed all the village idiots, who were previously contained and ridiculed in their own villages, to connect with each other and become more confident in their idiocy. The internet is a support group for morons.

  • What are some must watch Documentaries?
  • I put it off because there’s no narration in TraumaZone, just captions but it works so well.

  • Maine plans to use offshore wind for half its energy needs by 2040
  • If it’s replacing coal and gas, it’s a big benefit.

  • What are some must watch Documentaries?
  • I”ve watched all Curtis’ stuff apart from TraumaZone and I couldn’t agree more. I watched the first episode of that one a couple of night ago, I’m still processing.

  • How would someone with a terrible singing voice go about learning to sing?
  • Some good advice here. I’d add that you should figure out what your range is, don’t torture yourself trying to hit notes outside of it.

  • Zachary Levi Says ‘Shazam! Fury of the Gods’ Critics Rating Was “Oddly and Perplexingly Low”
  • What did you make of the epic CGI fest final act? *

    • I have not seen the movie, I'm just assuming it's the same as all the other ones.
  • Ukraine war: Russia attacks grain stores at River Danube ports
  • It's not a direct attack on NATO though. If Russia launched a missile at the UK then it would be on like donkey kong.

  • Ukraine war: Russia attacks grain stores at River Danube ports
  • NATO is a defensive pact, you fuck with one of us, you fuck with all of us. Ukraine isn't a member but I support it's application to join.

  • What is the greatest condiment of all time?
  • Hot sauce, something sweet with mango or pineapple and hot enough to get a sweat on.

  • Adam Curtis' documentaries like HyperNormalisation, Bitter Lake, and the series Can't Get You Out of My Head were a big one for me. He has full access to the BBC's news archive and cuts all this really obscure footage together really creatively. His music cues are great too.

    Elon may have a huge issue because Microsoft own the “X” trademark
  • Thanks! I looked it up:

    "Prince Alwaleed bin Talal agreed to roll over $1.9 billion worth of Twitter shares through his Kingdom Holding Company to Musk’s new private company, making him the second largest investor in Twitter. Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund, chaired by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, owns nearly 17% of Kingdom Holding, according to Reuters.

    Meanwhile, Qatar contributed $375 million for the financing of Musk’s Twitter purchase."

    I wonder if they're happy with how their investment is going?

  • Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the Saudis finance the deal to buy Twitter? Given the platform was used extensively by protesters during the Arab Spring, would it be worth it to them to pay for Musk to destroy it?
