  1. Let’s advertising a sports betting platform on your phone during every single sporting event! I see no reason how that goes horribly wrong!
  2. Leg of lamb, mashed potatoes, and salad.
  3. Oof. It’s clear Toonami is a very very low priority.
  4. The next item on the agenda of “Make America the 80s again” - Plastic straws.
  5. Biographers have noted Trump is as materialist and secular as they come, but this is clearly more chum for his low IQ voter base.
  6. Our current technology would take forever, to say nothing of not doing anything. It’s why COF-999 and its ilk are so exciting if they can be scaled. Its inventor pointed out with the right scale…it could all be gone in less than a decade. But we need to scale it and have the will to implement it.
  7. I think the worst thing at this point is paralyzing indecision. The will to wean off fossil fuels because some dickhead with a cowboy hat or a sheik can’t buy a new sports car or pickup truck. The ability to clone our food with shit like cultured meat because some bitch ranch owner makes more taking up endless space with cows. Indecision kills. I’m not saying it’s perfect, yet the alternative is things getting worse and worse because no one wants to do anything, when we potentially fix it. Why should humanity have to bear that cross of “No take-backs!”? People are fucking stupid, but everyone’s saying if we don’t fix the problem, we all die. So let’s fix it.
  8. This is a surprise given MC Chris has allegedly become a pariah with a really bad reputation.
  9. Any attempt at refreezing the Arctic would need to be coupled with CO2 removal and switching to cleaner energy. Surprisingly, the CO2 removal sector is also experimenting with a new scientific breakthrough, a chemical called COF-999 which is capable of sucking up the equivalent CO2 of an entire tree with half a pound of the substance. https://www.chemistryviews.org/chemical-solution-to-the-co2-problem/ Another step that needs to be scaled, but also equally exciting to deal with the problem especially since the professor behind it is working on even more efficient variants. That’s part of what drives me nuts about some people. We can fix this shit, but we have to be proactive.
  10. https://www.realice.eco/science The theory is that they can actually boost the amount of ice that re-freezes in the winter and slow the amount that melts during the summer, resulting in a year to year net gain on total ice, and in turn reducing sea levels by ensuring more and more ice is frozen. I’m a historian by trade, not a scientist, but if the experiment is working that means that there’s year to year ice growth. Not to mention if there’s more and more ice, it further reflects sunlight and reduces the temperature further, reversing the warming trend. The ultimate goal is a reversal to pre-industrial levels of ice.
  11. It’s better than sitting on our asses and waiting for the end because no one wants to do anything. The scaling is showing promising results, and if this latest experiment they’re doing over the winter continues to show that, it scales up more, and yeah, we can fix things. I’d rather fix things than accept it’s broken beyond repair.
  12. We’re starting to get the technologies to heal the damage we caused (a promising experiment to re-freeze the poles, COF-999 which sucks up CO2 at an amazing level of efficiency) but it all needs a clean energy transition to stick. Drill baby drill is spiteful.
  13. I’m genuinely curious if Trump is going to throw Elon to the dogs and claim he’s the hero for thwarting him. It seems like the sort of cynical ego driven play he would pull.
  14. https://www.sustainability-times.com/environmental-protection/controversial-arctic-refreezing-plan-shows-promise-but-risks-remain/ Risks are of course there but if it does work, well, the ocean level can be reduced substantially.
  15. Any of those never Kamala people feeling regret?
  16. They don’t have an entire media team making them a symbol, a reality TV show and decades of cameos softening his image, etc. It’s why a +20 R state went D in a special election last month.
  17. He really thinks anyone’s going to give a shit once he’s dead. I imagine the entire world just breathing a massive sigh of relief. “No, he died from heart failure.” It’s one thing to have a cult when you’re around. Transferring that influence is a completely different thing.
  18. Sovereign wealth funds tend to be the domain of countries trying to whitewash their reputations. The Saudi Arabia version is the reason they keep getting all the good boxing matches and regular appearances from the UFC and WWE (that particular form of whitewashing is known as sportswashing). It’s clear that if a sovereign wealth fund buys TikTok, the Democrats will have zero say in how it operates.
  19. Filming has wrapped. Estimated air date is late 2025/early 2026.
  20. Surprisingly, Better than Eggs and the liquid egg whites haven’t changed prices, I guess they were just THAT overpriced.
  21. Sakamoto Days 4 Kinnikuman Perfect Origin 4 Ippo Rising 1-5
  22. It won’t. It’s just a loyalty pledge for Dear Leader.
  23. …I do wish I had more people to share these dinners with, and a bigger place to serve them. Pernil this good should be shared with friends.
  24. I’m pretty sure my brokerage is investing in companies making egg substitutes. You can’t change the mind of bird flu.
