Oil is extracted, burned, and its energy is over. Lithium is mined, becomes a battery, and its energy storage capability can be reused for years. Burning fossil fuels doesn't make any sense anymore.

If you detest him as much as I do~ Come sit next to me.

A temporary suspension of operations occurred at Leipzig Airport, Germany, after security teams located an explosive-equipped drone fitted with a detonator on the tarmac overnight, positioned close to a Ukrainian Antonov cargo aircraft.

Three things about Trump that are unmistakable: 1. He is increasingly disconnected from reality. 2. He is increasingly desperate to convey grandiosity and avoid humiliation - this drives him. 3. His health - physical, mental, and neurological - is worsening, adding impatience.

The fact that this man and this situation is STILL so normalized - putting the whole world in danger, to the point of compromising all that's good about humanity - just to further greed, lust, ambition, and proximity to power - it's astounding. It renders me speechless. I am without speech.

Climate change may be making us lonelier: How heat waves and extreme weather disrupt social connections everyone relies on

On extremely hot days and in the aftermath of storms, people tend to hole up inside. Losing festivals, traditions and gathering places can worsen that loneliness.

Bad things happen everywhere, but even more likely if you disable accountability, attack the opposition and try to shut down investigative journalism.

Georgia’s State Security Service said it arrested two people after they allegedly supplied horse meat instead of beef to kindergartens in Kareli and Marneuli municipalities and obtained money from the state budget.

A drone carrying an explosive package and detonator was found near a parked Ukrainian Antonov cargo plane at Leipzig/Halle Airport.

The discovery triggered a major police operation, forcing a temporary airport shutdown and flight diversions while bomb disposal robots inspected the site. Investigators suspect Russian sabotage.
