NASA’s Curiosity rover captured a view of its tracks on July 26, 2025. The robotic scientist is now exploring a region of lower Mount Sharp, a 3-mile-tall (5-kilometer-tall) mountain. The pale peak of the mountain can be seen at top right; the rim of Gale Crater, within which the mountain sits, is on the horizon […]

'The ABC News report cited "sources familiar with what Maxwell said," that she claimed "Trump had never done anything in her presence that would have caused concern."'

Hmm. Do you think a convicted sex trafficker of underage girls would find it concerning if the paedophile ring she supplied had intercourse with said children?

No, I think not either. That statement means nothing.

She apparently spoke about 100 people. Tell me when we talk about Prince Andrew. If she doesn't, then that speaks volumes as to the focus. If she doesn't, then the UK judiciary needs to get in on this act, because given Prince Andrew's mommy dearest dropped a bucketload of cash, we need to investigate any possible misappropriation of UK taxpayer funds, at the very least.

A new study suggests that material from Earth's core is leaking into the mantle and reaching the surface. The research, which challenges the long-held belief of an impassable core-mantle boundary, is based on the discovery of primordial isotopes like helium-3 and ruthenium-100 in volcanic rocks.

Earth’s Core Appears To Be Leaking Up and Out of Earth’s Surface | Quanta Magazine

Strong new evidence suggests that primordial material from the planet’s center is somehow making its way out. Continent-size entities anchored to the core-mantle boundary might be involved.

I've worked my entire adult life: over 15000 days straight without unemployment. In all those days I've always been a doer, not a director - even when the job was being a director. I'm very hands on. I still don't know what it is about those who cannot do anything that gets them all on the same wagon shouting, "This will revolutionize the thing I could never do and really don't understand!" The best explanation I've heard for this type of mob mentality is, "They don't know what they don't know."

This week’s student dispatch from the collapsing citadel of American academia announced the Trump administration has forced Ivies Columbia and Brown to cough up their most highly guarded data: every applicant’s grades, test scores, and race. It’s like the Ivy League’s version of a TSA cavity search. The universities also had to promise —cross their hearts and hope to lose funding— that they will stop using race or even sneaky race proxies in admissions.

That’s why this is so huge. Trump has thrown down a dollar-stuffed gauntlet: if you want federal funds, you must prove you are following federal law. Not that they must show their work, the whole scam comes to a screeching halt. Yale law professor Justin Driver said morosely, “The Trump administration’s ambition here is to send a chill through admissions offices all over the country.” Precisely.

Where DID the #IDF learn its #genocide shit anyway? Wonder wonder...

The U.S.Cavalry under Colonel J M Chivington attacked the Cheyenne and Arapaho at Sand Creek, Colorado on October 29 1864. They massacred over five hundred unarmed men, women and children. After their 'victory', they scalped and mutilated the bodies, cutting off the females' genitalia and attaching them to their hats and saddles. The bodies were left to rot... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sand_Cre… @palestine

"The US, led by Trump, attacked Switzerland" - head of the association of Swiss companies

The Swiss press continues to comment on Donald Trump's introduction of 39 percent tariffs on goods from Switzerland. This is one of the highest tariffs for European countries, and this alone is outraging the Swiss elite and the public.

I still sometimes think about the time when BadEmpanada hate-watched my second ever Youtube video on stream and said shit like "I hate that word [comrade]" and "I fucking hate furries" and "Of course I only do this for the money, you think I'm just doing this for the messaging?" and "Who the fuck is this guy" before clicking my channel and realizing I was literally just starting out and was actually not against him at all and quietly closing the video while his gormless fans tossed TwitchBucks™ at him the entire time

Dude is smart and well-researched and right almost 100% of the time. He's also an absolute shithead and I still can't look at him the same way.

Your support helps take on billion-dollar fossil fuel corporations and pushes for a fairer system that puts people and the planet first.

Together, we're demanding that coal and gas giants pay for the damage they cause and that our government backs climate solutions led by communities and First Nations peoples on the frontlines.

The more people who join this campaign, the stronger our movement becomes. Can you help build momentum by sharing this campaign?
