$841 billion defense budget to kill but $0 healthcare to save or prolong lives. An example of a highly evolved species with excellent priorities.

The defense budget was $841 billion in 2024.

Why wouldn't young people, especially the climate-conscious, be against data centers that are behind rising electricity bills, pollution and local infrastructure strains, jeopardizing their future? Tech bros believe their children are insulated from these risks in their billion dollar bunkers.

Norway shows it is possible to build data centres powered entirely by renewable hydro and wind energy. Offshore data centres use seawater cooling to reduce energy consumption, eliminating land usage and reducing the environmental impact of modern computing. ocean-energyresources.com/2026/03/19/n...

Norwegian floating data center runs on wave energy

Norway has just made waves - literally - by launching a floating data center that runs entirely on wave energy and cools itself using seawater.

Incredible! Scientists receive a rare standing ovation after announcing that a new treatment can double the survival time for pancreatic cancer, the deadliest cancer which was once considered “undruggable.” When we fund and support science, we can achieve anything! (Video: Dr. Wish Dhillon)

Orange Satan, oops sorry, I mean Doctor Jesus, told CNBC that negotiations with Iran were starting “to get very boring” and that Americans “are willing to pay a little bit more” for gas. How much he cares about human beings, oops sorry again, I mean non-billionaire human beings: nada, zilch, zero.

There's a lot one can do with a spirit that's willing and a mind that's churning.

The world is shocked by how the Gaza flotilla activists were treated, as if this were something new. But if they feel confident enough to do this in front of cameras, imagine what Palestinians endure when nobody is watching.

More than that, I daresay this midterm election is existential. The felon and his goon squad are stealing your money right under your noses while you look on helplessly and hesitate between medicine or bread. Don't be fatigued. Come out, come out en masse. Be inspired by Hungary and South Korea.

Gramps should be committed, not dictating foreign policy, strategising military operations or implementing bills, and least of all, be allowed anywhere near CHILDREN. People who do not accept accountability for their actions should not be taking account of people's lives.

Celebs apparently not attending Met Gala 2026 include Meryl Streep, Zendaya, Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Bella Hadid and Taraji P. Henson. How awful for you, Bozos. You forked out 10 million and still, the cool kids don't want to be anywhere near you? You must reek of avarice and apathy really badly.

mRNA vaccines continue to show major promise. In a small Phase 1 trial led by Dr. Balachandran, some patients with pancreatic cancer (one of the deadliest cancers) reached 6-year survival. This is why sustained investment in science & research matters. tinyurl.com/f4n4anhk
