For if one accepts that the Mediterranean was once the inland sea of the Ancient World; and further that the Atlantic Ocean was, and to some still remain the inland sea of the Modern World; then surely it can be argued that the Pacific Ocean is the inland sea of Tomorrow's World.

Well, that was wild. I'm at the Australian Parliament and just left a meeting with two staffers for the governing party. They told us that the government needed more power to censor things like the upcoming US execution of Nidal Hasan.

When I asked why they needed to censor that video, one said it was to prevent copycat killings. Copycat killings by governments? I asked. Er, no, they said. Copycat killings like of a backpacker, several decades ago.

So, under that logic, I pointed out, the government should censor things like last year's Bondi massacre, where two Muslims killed 15 people, no? Well, that was news, they said. Didn't they realize their bill would allow the government to censor news? They didn't seem to know, or care.

They also admitted that they did not know that the bill would allow the government to create and operate an unlimited number of fake social media accounts to attack its political enemies and spread disinformation. Having presented them with information they had never heard about a bill they had clearly not read, they emphasized to us, strenuously, that they were moving forward with the bill.

So there you have it. The government wants the power to arbitrarily censor scenes of violent crime, or violence, for any reason. And it wants the power to use an unlimited number of fake accounts to wage offensive disinformational warfare against the Australian people.

Given that the Bondi massacre last year increased public opposition to mass migration, and support for the populist One Nation Party, it seems obvious that the government wants to censor such events in order to protect its political power.

It's quite telling how obediently governing party members insist such a law is needed without even knowing what's in it.

The world of the future will be like that of the past, with disparate regimes interacting with one another in a condition of global anarchy.

This looks like science fiction, but it's real.

A 16-year-old builds a robot that eats trash to save the oceans…

and it actually starts working.

No experience. No connections. Just pure obsession.

This is a true story:🧵

For most of human history, people slept in two distinct phases called "biphasic sleep."

Historian A. Roger Ekirch found over 500 historical documents proving this.

People would sleep 3-4 hours, wake for 1-2 hours, then sleep another 3-4 hours.

The most fascinating part? What happened during that middle period:

#NZ is fast becoming a pariah for its destructive fishing practices. It now wants to catch Australia’s quota of orange roughy & increase limits for how much deep-sea coral bottom trawlers take. Australia abandoned such fishing years ago. @deepseaconserve https://t.co/cBk3ZiiTdV

F*ck!

The ocean is losing its ability to store heat as the planet warms up

With a record high rate of heat accumulation, that means that more heat is available to warm the land and atmosphere, and to melt ice.

Both relatively and absolutely.

Which is exactly what we see!
