The White House cautiously endorsed the idea of studying how to block sunlight from hitting Earth’s surface as a way to limit global warming in a congressionally mandated report that could help bring efforts once confined to science fiction into the realm of legitimate debate.

Which Batman game to get if you could only get one?

Is anyone else getting uncensored NSFW in the "newest" section? It's not the greatest thing to see....
