CAIRO, May 28 (Reuters) - Israeli tanks shelled a tent camp in an evacuation area west of Rafah and killed at least 21 people on Tuesday, Gaza health authorities said, while advancing to the heart of the southern Gaza city for the first time after a night of heavy bombardment. Two days after an Israeli airstrike on another camp...
This feels like the scene in Mars Attacks when the Martians were carrying around the translator saying “we come in peace” and “Stop, come back, I’m you’re friend” while blasting the shit out of people.
Brightly colored plastics may break down into microplastics faster but they’re also drastically more visible, meaning they may get spotted and picked up before other colors.
They’re definitely isn’t enough of it being picked up, but I would be curious to see the ratio of brightly colored plastic to not brightly colored plastic in what has been picked up.
If more brightly colored plastic is being picked up then we could increase the amount of plastic that is being picked up by switching to annoying colors.
Every little bit helps, even if it’s just 1% more.
A North Korean rocket carrying its second spy satellite exploded midair on Monday, state media reported, after its neighbors strongly rebuked its planned launch.
I’m kind of surprised they didn’t deny the anomaly entirely and claim that the satellite successfully achieved orbit, in fact I’m certain I remember them doing exactly that at least once in the past.
Trump has waffled on whether the Israel-Gaza war should end. But speaking to wealthy donors behind closed doors, he said that he supports Israel’s right to continue “its war on terror.”...
So where are all the “concerned Democrats” that always show up en masse to talk about how horrible Biden’s Gaza policy is?
Aren’t you guy’s concerned about this policy too? Or is it fine because it’s not Biden’s policy?
It’s a serious policy failure that this is happening; the people paying to cap wells should be the ones who became wealthy by extracting the oil, not a bunch of random teenagers.
This is definitely going to sound counterproductive, but I think they should have kept the first well they acquired and as a source of income and then used that income to buy and shut down other wells, then cap it.
Make the oil finance its own demise.
It would be stupid not to.
Not only is there absolutely no guarantee the United States will be there to help them, but if a certain candidate wins, it’s a guarantee we won’t be helping them.
But beyond that it’s an incredibly stupid idea to outsource your national defense, even to an ally.
We is the United States in this context. Not you or I, but the nation I’m part of and pay taxes to. And the majority of those taxes go to the military industrial complex.
So even though I don’t make any of the decisions and I personally don’t agree with many of them, I still have to help pay for it whether I like it or not.
So, I’m reluctantly part of the “we”.
As an Ohioan, DeWine handled Covid very well for a Republican governor too, but that’s about where the praise ends.
He’s deeply involved in a bribery scandal at the moment and seems to stand pretty firmly with MAGA on abortion and trans rights issues.
As far as governors go I’m glad he’s not DeSantis, but I’m also glad he’s term limited and we’ll be rid of him after 26.
Why the hell are we concerned with Putin’s feelings on the subject?
I’m sure it also enrages him that we’re helping Ukraine at all, so what’s the point?
In fact, we should be going out of our way to purposefully piss him off.
He’s 71 and possibly has cancer, inducing a coronary might be the quickest way to get this war over with.
Well considering the states choose the electors and the electoral college has no obligation to follow the will of the people, no, I don’t remember that.
It’s been a big giant hole in our system since day one and the fact that we refuse to patch it means that was always intended to be an illusion of choice.
