Agreed, but he’s basically already done that - they’re completely subservient to China for the next generation at least, very likely several generations.

If the world can continue to move off of oil, gas, and (jfc) coal we’ll be in a better position any which way - which of course is how China’s eating the US’ lunch because trump’s such a frickin tool.

Trump just put Elmo and Xi together at dinner last night so. Unlikely.

That’s awesome.

I think it’s great so many of you have apparently never had to consider racism or sexism in science.

I was just reminded that as recently as 60 years ago women were legally prohibited from opening a bank account in many places in America. As an example of sexism in society.

So, y’know. Progress. Eventually.

A quick search says it was just this month.

Hell yeah.

Since America’s busy gargling fascism’s balls it’s good to have someone holding fast until we get our shit together.

Thank you to those who tried to translate for the contextually bereft.

I just thought it was cool to see a picure of the person who identified our new Babu.

Time to . . . Par-tee-down?

She didn’t identify the cat. She is pretty famous, tho. Also that woman who’s all radioactive.

Yes thank you

Well explained.

Damn, you’re lucky

trump is such a goddamned moron.

For them, even the ongoing election, with Vladimir Putin’s United Russia bloc expectedly topping the polls, will not make a difference. When a viewer suggested Serhii ask Russians about their hopes after the vote, they didn’t understand the question.

“You just have to see the look on their faces. When I ask them, “Will anything change for the better in your country?” They say, “What exactly should change?” “For them, it’s some kind of unfathomable question. On a subconscious level, they understand no changes will happen at all. They look at me like I’m an idiot,” he shared.

Sounds so much like the ‘voting is pointless’ crowd we get near election time. Probably a coincidence.

Serhii easily identifies Russian women who are receiving payments from relatives fighting in Ukraine. Many even look eager to receive ‘coffin money.’ According to his observations, from the southwestern city of Rostov to Siberia, they show off their riches in just the same way.

“It just immediately catches your eye. For example, some woman who looks like a wreck, living in a run-down apartment, has those long eyelashes and those full lips — and she’s definitely covered in tattoos. That’s a sign of her wealth. And she’s definitely smoking.”

Nothing new under the sun

Member that time ‘scientists’ discovered lymph nodes in the brain and it was like 2014 or something? And everybody was all, “Did you not think to look there, or . . ?” How did we get 20k years in and not know that.

But, that’s the way the knowledge bounces.

At the heart of the technology are solar panels made from black metal that has been treated with femtosecond lasers. A femtosecond is an extraordinarily short unit of time, equal to one quadrillionth of a second. Pulses from these ultrafast lasers can precisely alter a material’s surface, creating microscopic structures that dramatically change how it interacts with light and water.

Neat

Well . . . The picture is pretty
