Why should space exploration be limited to rich countries? That’s what the UN is asking, saying they want to buy a spaceship to launch poor countries’ experiments into orbit

Turns out, that when you flood an area to build a reservoir, all the shit that used to be there, and the soil itself, start outgassing methane…enough to contribute more than 1% of our global carbon footprint…which is a little weird, since it’s methane, not CO2…which is apparently much worse as a “greenhouse gas”. Think about that the next time you let loose an ass cloud of it.

Nice job folks. Scientists say even if we plant a gazillion trees and all stop breathing, we can’t do anything about the increasing carbon levels? Not great news, but take a little solace in this: We can see temperatures and CO2 levels are both increasing, but there has not, imo been a causal link proven. So maybe we’re wrong and there ARE things we CAN do to slow/reverse this warming trend? #FingersCrossed

Trump can afford it. How about we elect him lunar president & send him there?

Not sure why we are still even talking about “stop and frisk” as a viable policing option. Courts have decided and will continue to decide that it is unconstitutional, and we all know what it REALLY is: A tool which allows law enforcement to terrorize citizens of color selectively, and at will. FACT: They need a fucking warrant to enter your pockets unless you are caught in the commission of a crime. Being black or hispanic and walking down the street minding your own business is NOT grounds for a legal search because some cop decides you LOOK like you MIGHT commit a crime. Stop & Frisk is a DIRECT violation of the 4th Amendment. ANYONE who is in favor of this abhorrent policy does not give a fuck about you or your rights as a citizen. ESPECIALLY if you are not white.

Where do they keep finding these emails, and why don’t they just release them all at once? Are they trying to hide something? I mean, what are they doing, sanitizing the emails before release? Did the FBI get to see any of these emails during their investigation, or has the State Dept been hiding them until now? The entire way these emails are being handled is extremely suspicious…just fucking saying.
