Foam fractionation units are being deployed in a pilot program that, if successful, could hold the key to cheaply and rapidly eliminating so-called forever chemicals from drinking water sources across the country.

rfk jr is wrong

fortunately he’s super effective against water types

Hayao Miyazaki should be allowed to kill at least one person

once again, every accusation is a confession. republicans spent 15 years accusing democrats of winning elections by trading cash for votes. now, here we are.

Stuff like this is perfect because it shows how utterly devoid of creativity genAI evangelists are. Great you recreated a photo that already exists in a drawing style that only has currency because of who you're stealing it from giving the world something with absolutely no value or meaning.

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

it's been years upon years of labored "campus culture" op-eds from salaried writers hectoring students about free speech, and now the state is kidnapping students for their speech in broad daylight

Being snatched off the street for your opinions. I'll say it again. We are deciding, right now, whether the aspirations we hold for this country are finished. Whether we're going to let these hoodlums and grifters throw what's left of the American idea into the garbage for their own profit and gain.

Another example of heroism from everyday people, this time DC public school staff. Know your rights. Know others' rights. Stand up for them.

JD Vance, devout Catholic who prides himself on being a deeply moral person, learns that the government of which he’s 2nd in command has just taken the lives of innocent people and responds with “Excellent.”

We are in the midst of what many consider the most promising pancreatic cancer cure research in decades. This is literally joining the War on Cancer on the side of cancer. It's happening in multiple departments. They're also attacking mRNA fax science which is the heart of the possible breakthrough.

The Democrat who just flipped a very Trumpy seat in Pennsylvania’s Senate made opposition to Elon Musk front and center in his campaign. (lancasteronline.com/news/politic...)

I am still dumbfounded that they made a war crime group chat on a civilian messaging service and invited a reporter to it. it's like there's no bar they can't slither under.

One of the world’s most chilling ruins is the Ploutonion at Hierapolis, otherwise known as “the Gate to Hell”. Here crowds once watched priests lead animal sacrifices down into a cave, where they died mysteriously as if dragged down to the underworld. And no one knew how they did it until recently.

Was just reading John Quincy Adams' oral arguments before SCOTUS in the Amistad case and this part seems, uh, pretty relevant

“We are currently clean on OPSEC” accidentally sent to a journalist is an all time classic.

oh my goddd im so sorry, just seeing this now 😰 do u guys still need artillery support

In Trump's first term, media orgs would credulously repeat Trump's claims to have saved jobs. Now they are credulously amplifying executive orders based on misleading premises that claim powers that Trump does not hold. Stop amplifying misinformation and aiding his attack on democracy!

The most brutal assassination in Assassin's Creed history

This is exactly it. Yes, elections, but barriers to doing so, a press in the pocket of one side, huge amounts of money for campaigning on that same side, and so on. Not all elections are free and even fewer are fair.

Once again, I don’t know what anyone has seen in the last two months to suggest that the 2026/28 elections are going to be free, fair, & competitive by any normal standard of 🇺🇸 politics. This is obviously unconstitutional & a massive Article I crisis & yet who will stop it? bsky.app/profile/mcop...

my most conservative-coded trait these days is that i honestly think that the worst possible thing that can happen for young men is for the entire society to coddle them. what they need to hear is that they have one life to live and they have to take responsibility for it.

This is the latest person decreed by Marco Rubio to be a foreign policy threat and thus now subject to deportation:

I think this is really vital to convey to non-news-junkies. Not only is DOGE not making anything more efficient, nothing they’re doing even makes sense as an ATTEMPT to make anything more efficient. That is the marketing; it’s not the actual function.

"In other words, in about eight weeks DOGE managed to lose the U.S. government — more or less light on fire — more than half of what goes to all non-defense discretionary spending." talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/irs-p...

Yup, most of my short fiction from the last fifteen years, including the Warhammer stories about goblins

One of my Radical Leftist opinions is the government shouldn't be able to deprive anyone of life, liberty, or property without due process of law

Increasingly clear that this is the most important political fact of our time. Billionaires aren't just a policy failure, they're a democratic failure condition.

TikTok not beating the "world's most effective brain-smoothing technology" allegations www.wired.com/story/airpor...

'sold as slave labor to El Salvador' is I honestly think a fair way of describing it

This guy co-sponsored a bill to have "Trump Derangement Syndrome" classified as a mental illness YESTERDAY.

NEW today from @miamiherald.com: more men sent to El Salvador on Saturday have been identified by their families, including a 27-year-old who entered legally at a port of entry in 2023 through the CBP One app and a 29-year-old father of a baby born here last year. Neither have any criminal record.

i’m sentient and i don’t go around trying to destroy anyone who didn’t actively work to make my birth happen because that would be really weird. it would be comedic if somebody actually tried to do that. why would that be something you’d consider? so then why would a mythical AI waste time on it?

Post-singularity AI hell is just cotillion

It’s almost like morale and will and all those squishy wetware factors matter. A lot.

This is correct and must be understood in these terms. Imagining that there is any daylight between the people being targeted and you is a fool’s game. The situation is emergent and we need to mount an organized response

being the richest person in the world and the president of the united states can’t even stop this guy from continuing to crash out
