Okay, so I’m confused.
It’s okay - frequent for me.
You said it didn’t link to twitter.

I didn’t know the comments were from Twitter or I wouldn’t have bothered either!



The Ohio senator spent much of the vice presidential debate brazenly lying. No wonder he grew agitated in response to a brief fact check from a moderator.

DC Studios’ next big project is an animated movie about the Robins

Dynamic Duo will bring a new animated story about Dick Grayson and Jason Todd to the big screen with a blend of CGI and practical stop-motion.



Like Trump, JD Vance once again refused to say he would accept the outcome of this election. Our country can’t have a vice president who puts loyalty to Trump ahead of our democracy. We really need your help over the next 34 days to end Trump’s political career. Here are all the many ways you can make a difference right now: majorityovermaga.org/all-in?so…

Impersonating Dr. Ford’s testimony, Trump said, β€œWhat neighborhood was it? I don’t know. Where’s the house? I don’t know. Upstairs? Downstairs? Where was it β€” I don’t know. But I had one beer, that’s the only thing I remember.” He added, β€œAnd a man’s life is shattered.”

#SixYearsAgoToday #AreYouBetterOff

October 2, 2018 – A special tax fraud investigation in the New York Times, based on tax returns and financial records, revealed that Donald Trump received the equivalent of $413 million from his father’s real estate empire in tax schemes dating back to his childhood. The findings countered Trump’s narrative of how he built his multi-billion dollar empire through his own hard work and deal-making.

I'd say this is good news and good progress to also keep in mind.

Greenhouse gas emissions per capita in the European Union (EU-27) in 1990 (bright blue) and 2022 (dark blue), by country (in metric tons of COβ‚‚ equivalent)

We need to do better. That's for sure. But we have made progress too.

there is a dark side to this which lies in how such emissions are counted. IPCC works on counting "territorial emissions" vs "consumption based emissions". But as first world countries moved CO2 intensive production to other countries, that skews the results, presenting a better picture. This article goes into explaining this with some data ourworldindata.org/consumption…
in reply to Edoardo Tenani

@Edoardo That's a very good point! I'm glad to see that in the graphs presented, consumption-based emissions in the old industrialized countries seem to be falling along with the territorial emissions. So it's not all just moving emissions elsewhere.

But then the newly industrialized countries are also rising to meet the old ones. China is not yet as bad as the US, but with their size that's already pretty bad. And they've already crossed to above the EU countries.

Mozilla bought K-9 and so I'm not sure how this helps.
in reply to Khurram Wadee

@Khurram Wadee yes apart from the rebranding it probably will start getting more features under its new name.
