This is great + well-deserved, plus it has the side benefit of making some of the world’s worst people really, really mad.

The tourist-y parts of it are pretty much all newly rebuilt anyway; there’s not much of the original wall left at Mutianyu or Simatai or wherever.
The good news is that Iceland won’t have to go around apologizing for its name anymore.
Ah, the blissful-but-brief interval between when a Texas district judge issues a sensible ruling and the 5th Circuit overturns it with a concurrence by Judge Ho saying that if it were up to him people attending drag shows would be rounded up in internment camps.
He literally Googled how much a kilogram of gold is worth
My headcanon is that in public / guest quarters the toilet stalls contain miniature holodeck emitters so that they can instantly change to accommodate the customs / biology of any species. Even assuming that, say, Klingons excrete waste from the same places that humans do, they might prefer to do so while dangling from a bar in the ceiling or something else torturous like that, and find the use of a regular sitting toilet unclean or dishonorable.
The pushy evangelical church down the street has the Bajoran flag
I hope they make it - snow leopards seem to be in the gray area in between endangered species which humans can + will spare no expense to keep alive, like pandas and kakapo, and endangered species that are almost certainly done for, like the Vaquita and the Javan rhinoceros.
It’s about ads. The great thing about putting videos on YouTube is that Google does the work of selling ad slots for you, the not-so-great thing is that because those advertisers are actually Google’s customers, if they think they might be upset to see their ad running in your video, they’ll err on the side of pulling it.
But I daresay if Russell Brand had advertisers working with him directly, most of them would also be suspending their relationships with him right now; nobody wants anything to do with this sort of allegation.
“Hammerskins” sounds like a bunch of guys who hang around smashing each other’s genitals with hammers
So this is why Elon is suddenly more upset than usual about bots
I don’t work for anybody, and I don’t know what list of talking points you think I’m repeating other than the specific assertion that Germany shouldn’t have shut down its nuclear plants.
I could just as well accuse you of astroturfing for the coal power lobby.
But since you’re accusing me of being a shill anyway: yes, nuclear power is clean and safe and our refusal to embrace it has cost us decades of progress in reducing carbon emissions + is continuing to do so now. The anti-nuclear lobby has a tremendous amount of blood on its hands and I’m not the least bit ashamed to be on the opposing side to them.
Sure, but nevertheless they’re burning a lot more coal than they would be if they hadn’t pointlessly shut down their nuclear plants.
“We were able to grow enough soybeans to replace half of the whale meat we were eating, but we can’t replace the other half yet because even though we have plenty of lentils, we hate lentils and don’t want to eat them anymore”
Nuclear output 12.2021: 5599.8 GWh
Brown coal output 8.2023: 5422.0 GWh
Black coal output 8.2023: 2049.2 GWh
So if you, y’know, hadn’t shut down those nuclear plants, you’d be burning 1/4 as much coal as you actually are.
Germany of course is the country that recently shut down a bunch of nuclear plants + temporarily (we hope) replaced them with coal.
That’s the Ukrainian spelling, apparently. (much like Kiev -> Kyiv)
Cool, looking forward to Greenpeace or whoever protesting this wind farm because they’re worried it’ll blow radiation from Chernobyl into other countries because they don’t understand how radiation or wind farms work but reflexively oppose anything to do with nuclear plants.
Hope everyone enjoyed the coldest summer of the rest of their lives.
Is this just fantasy?
And this was only like the 3rd worst thing to happen to O’Brien that day
