How is it not news when the president nods off in public meetings and press conferences dozens of times? If you follow independent media, you see it and know about it. But why hasn’t CBS, NBC or ABC showed a montage of it on their evening news? They simply refuse to ever show it.

That represents hundreds of thousands of hectares of deforested land.
Instead of bringing order to its own country, Russia continues to destroy its neighbor's.

The bike detail is the whole war in miniature. Everyone here has a job, even the grandma with a ground drone in her care. An existential fight feels like this.

Wow.
A Ukrainian lady rushed to help rescue a Ukrainian ground robot.
She is incredibly cool. Note how she also hid her bike so it wouldn't be visible. God bless her.
Ukrainians risk their lives because we are fighting an existential war.

The biggest delay in the development of new vaccines isn't the science, it's the funding.

And when I say Elon Musk is stupid, this is why? How do we get Tesla? Basic Research. How do we get Starlink? Basic Research. How do we get Space X. Basic Research. And it is basic research, done by every color, creed, and gender, coming to the United States as students and migrants.

And our government in the 1940s realized that building a nuclear bomb or developing a vaccine or going to the Moon could not happen without this basic research and became the heaviest investor in that basic research.

What basic research is in science: it is looking—for years—at the spit of toad, or the quiet collection of data over a child’s cough. I will explain it another way: it is the Lionel Messi of science. It is sitting back quietly and then all sudden: boom, a swift innovation that changes our lives.
No one can fill this void left by the theft of basic research funding.
Here's a chart showing who funds basic research in the US. It's easy to tell that private funding cannot make up for significant cuts to government funding.

The Governor needs to resign. And they all need to be charged for violating a prisoner's constitutional rights and torturing her. This was their intent. They knew it could happen, they carried it through anyway.
