Andy Beshear is demonstrating why voters are pushing out incumbent democrats. What a pathetic response to covering up McConnell’s death. “I haven’t heard anything”. Dude get off your fucking ass and go down to the hospital. Cause a fucking scene. We’re tired of this shit.
a lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. it happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. that’s what i think of when i read about data centers.
ONE COPY OF THIS MOVIE WEIGHS 384 KILOGRAMS
Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey was shot entirely on IMAX film.
A single 70mm print is so massive that Cinemark had to show people how it even gets loaded into the projector.
- One print stretches 640,000 meters of physical film
- That same print weighs 384 kilograms, heavier than a grand piano
- The movie cost 375 million dollars to produce and market combined
- Only 41 theaters on the planet are built to run a copy this size
This is not a movie file. It is basically cargo.
The House is scheduled to vote this week on a National Defense Authorization that would integrate our military tech & supply chains with Israel’s.
Today, the Rules Committee will decide whether my amendment to strip section 219 will get a vote.

🚨Americans should know this: There are around 800,000 to 900,000 Jewish settlers in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, and none of them work. They live off government funding — free housing, free healthcare, free everything.
And your tax dollars pay for it.
I think a reason we find the Jimothy story so moving is that it goes against our sense of nature always being harsh and ruthless. In reality, even in the animal kingdom sometimes the deformed & disabled still find their way in the world, often with the help of family.
One interesting thing about this controversy is that there's nothing stopping all these whiners from making their own adaptation of The Odyssey.
Elon Musk could cut a check right now for a big budget adaptation produced exactly to his liking. He could hire the director and writer and crew he wants. He could cast whomever he wants.
He and his like-minded, fragile fanboys could set out to prove that their version of The Odyssey is aesthetically superior and more commercially successful.
But they haven't and they won't.
Because it's not really about The Odyssey.
It's about the insatiable craving for outrage and grievance. They are constantly starved for things to be angry about.
Let me explain wildfires and climate change for the slow learners in the back.
More heat means thirstier air.
♦ Carbon emissions trap heat globally.
♦ Hotter air acts like a sponge.
♦ It sucks moisture out of plants.
♦ It sucks moisture out of soil.
♦ Dry plants turn into perfect tinder
Fire seasons are now longer.
♦ Snow melts much earlier in spring.
♦ Autumn rains arrive much later now.
♦ The dry period lasts weeks longer.
♦ Longer dry periods mean more fires.
Bugs are making it worse.
♦ Warmer winters fail to kill pests.
♦ Pine beetles are multiplying rapidly now.
♦ Pests kill millions of forest trees.
♦ Dead trees create massive fuel piles.
Extreme weather creates spark triggers.
♦ Climate change shifts atmospheric jet streams.
♦ This causes more frequent dry lightning.
♦ It also creates much stronger winds.
♦ Winds fan tiny sparks into infernos.
Climate change is the amplifier.
♦ Campfires and arson still start fires.
♦ Human carelessness triggers the initial spark.
♦ But climate change prepares the fuel.
♦ It turns small fires into monsters.
You're welcome.
