Trump said this to Hannity: "11,000 people that murdered are now free and walking around in our country. And of them, I think 48% they say killed more than one person and they're walking around." Not true, but: OK. So let's get monthly updates on those 11,000. Are they still here? Their names?

HOW COOL IS THIS? A battery that needs feeding instead of charging? This is EXACTLY what researchers at EMPA have achieved with their 3D-printed microbial fuel cell powered by FUNGI, designed to generate electricity AND biodegrade once its task is done. Let’s talk about that! 🧪🧵⬇️
