A resource for when people say things like: "Covid is mild now" "We have to live our lives" "It's like the flu" "I got it & I'm fine" "Healthy people don't have to worry" "Long covid is uncommon" "But the CDC says..."

These were suppose to be lessons not the play book

It really is incredible that world leaders did nothing and had nothing to say when Trump assassinated a country's religious leader. And kidnapped another. And threatens to take over Canada and Greenland. Is this what went on when Hitler started his war?

Your reminder that the government of Benjamin Naziyahu is as close to pure evil as any in the world:

On this date 23 years ago, Martin Eberhard and Mark Tarpenning founded Tesla to help promote electric vehicles. Of course, a greedy subsequent investor later did a hostile takeover and ousted them from the company. 😡 Still, I have fond memories of befriending Martin and Carolyn.

Israel destroying entire villages in Southern Lebanon with HUGE explosions and almost 0 coverage. I can't find any coverage on this besides Al Jazeera and individual Lebanese accounts on X. Same play like Gaza, just saying it is to root out Hezbollah, targeting tunnels bs

I think we just passed oops.

Umm am i wrong but there is another defender in the top of the goal box that definitely means this striker was not offside and VAR doesn't show that defenders position in its line drawing?

The World Cup quagmire has come to an end. Heartbreak for Iran. VAR calls a late winner offside by a pinky toe. They've been to the World Cup seven times. They've still yet to make it out of the group.

This is why cities need trees. Hard surfaces and parked cars can reach extreme temperatures, while shaded grass and tree-covered areas stay dramatically cooler. This is the urban heat island effect in one image: hard surfaces absorb and radiate heat, while vegetation and shade reduce it.

The choices we make today will determine whether future generations inherit forests or factories, clean rivers or toxic waste, life or mere survival. We may well be the last generation with the power to stop it. The future is not something that happens to us; it is something we create.

I absolutely hate military flyovers at sporting events. Four military helicopters just did flyover in Seattle at the #WorldCup US vs Australia match. Say NO to militarism. #NoWarButClassWar

The only Gulf of America is between the rich and poor

Iran won the war and didn’t slaughter a bunch of American schoolchildren to do it America is a disgrace on every level

There was a post recently that stated (more or less): if a monkey collected a trillion bananas and refused to share them, scientists would be concerned and would want to find out why it behaved so aberrantly. When a human does it, its treated as if its ok.

"At a time of surging anti-migrant rhetoric, the longtime friends who met playing school sport and their teammates — the Socceroos' 26-man squad come from at least 15 cultural and ethnic backgrounds — are a reflection of modern Australia where nearly one in three are born overseas." #auspol

This is what modern Australia looks like Pauline Hanson Well done guys..😀 Australia is proud...keep it up "The Australian national men's soccer team (the Socceroos) features a highly multicultural roster, with the 26-man squad comprising players from at least 15 cultural and ethnic backgrounds. "

Imagine you had so much food in your house that, no matter have hard they tried, your family couldn't possibly eat it. Then, imagine what would happen if you continued to buy and hoard more food, filling cupboard after cupboard. You'd be considered mentally ill Why is this never applied to money?

#IfIWasATrillionaire, I'd build a worldwide power grid using 100% renewable sources. If anyone has a problem with wind, solar, or anything like that, they'd better get over it quickly, or they don't get access to it.

I really don’t understand true greed. If I was worth $1 trillion, you’d have to physically stop me from solving as many of the world’s problems as possible. Everyone would have a home, food on the table, proper healthcare, happiness. I just don’t get it.

It's hard to be excited about the Artemis III mission announcements when the CEO of the company making one of the mission's rockets has spent his week inciting racial violence via his personal social media platform.

All FIFA referees should refuse to officiate games until the ref from Somalia is allowed to enter the country AND DO HIS JOB! Shut this motherfucker down overnight. #worldcup
