How much has the Pentagon “lost?”

Over the past two years, Elon Musk has lost $200 billion. Don’t tell me we can’t afford a wealth tax.

@nikitabier I remember when there was a “local” or “nearby” tab 15 years ago and I could read all kinds of ridiculousness from my Cleveland neighborhoods. I still remember a couple of bangers after a warm weekend.

Starting Thursday, we'll be updating our revenue sharing incentives to better reward the content we want on X:
We will be giving more weight to impressions from your home region—to encourage content that resonates with people in your country, in neighboring countries and people who speak your language.
While we appreciate everyone's opinion on American politics, we hope this will disincentivize gaming the attention of US or Japanese accounts and instead, drive diverse conversations on the platform.
We invite creators to start building an audience locally. X will be a much richer community when there's relevant posts for people in all parts of the world.

But China is leading in green tech! Well making lots of cheap solar panels and wind turbines but using coal and oil to do it

China's top 10 cities for 'fresh air' right now: 1 Dandong - 233 (Unbelievable!) 2 Beijing - 225 (The capital is only #2 in toxic soup? Historic!) 3 Fuxin - 215 4 Chaoyang - 209 5 Jiamusi - 198 (Congrats on cracking the top 5, comrade!) All of these are literally 'Very Unhealthy'. 233 is the kind of air where breathing deeply is a bad idea. But hey, at least they're consistent. When the entire leaderboard is like French kissing a diesel bus tail pipe - you know the Five-Year Plan for Breathing is going exactly as intended. Keep coughing, Comrades!

After DECADES of delays and billions burned on programs that went nowhere, we’re finally sending a nuclear-powered spacecraft to Mars.
That's what happens when you stop managing decline and start demanding results. Thank you @POTUS. Thank you @NASAAdmin.

BREAKING: @NASAAdmin just announced America is FINALLY going nuclear in space. A first-of-its-kind mission called "SR-1 Freedom" will launch before 2028 using nuclear fission power to travel to Mars. THIS IS HUGE This is what happens when you put someone in charge who actually wants to GET THINGS DONE. 🇺🇸🚀

The Afroman Trial.
-Cops raid Afromans house for bullshit reasons.
-Steal money, break his door, fuck his house up.
-No criminality found whatsoever, no charges at all pressed on Afroman.
-Afroman spends the next 3 years making songs that make fun of all the officers involved by name, even using footage of the raid from his own CCTV cameras.
-Songs had titles like "Randy Walters is a son of a bitch" and "Lick Em Low Lisa" accusing one of the officers of being a lesbian and sleeping with the other officers wives.
-During the raid one officer looked like he was about to eat some lemon pound cake sitting on Afromans counter, Afroman made a whole album calling the officer fat.
-The cops get mad and file a lawsuit for defamation.
-Afroman turns up to court in a whole American flag suit.
-Officers performatively mald and cry while listening to the songs really trying to oversell how badly the songs upset them.
-One officer was suing because Afroman made a whole song about him saying he was fucking the officers wife. When the officer was asked if Afroman was really fucking his wife, he said "I don't know". Nuking his own case and establishing that there is a non-zero chance that Afroman might actually be fucking his wife.
-As his only witness for the trial, Afroman brought a deputies EX FUCKING WIFE.
-The jury ruled completely in favour of Afroman.
This entire thing has been a great win for free speech and absolutely fucking hilarious.

Archaeo - Histories@archeohistories
In 1980, a bioarchaeologist at Emory University named George Armelagos was studying ancient human bones from Sudanese Nubia, the kingdom that flourished along the Nile south of Egypt between roughly 350-550 CE, when something stopped him. Under ultraviolet light, the bones glowed. They fluoresced with a distinctive yellow-green color that Armelagos recognized immediately, because the same glow appeared in the bones of modern patients who had been treated with tetracycline. The antibiotic binds tightly to calcium and phosphorus in bone tissue as the body metabolizes it, leaving a permanent fluorescent marker. What Armelagos was seeing in bones nearly two thousand years old was chemically identical to what he saw in twentieth-century medical subjects. The archaeological community was skeptical. The received history of antibiotics began with Alexander Fleming’s discovery of penicillin in 1928, and tetracycline itself was not isolated until 1948. The idea that a pre-literate population in the Nile valley had been routinely ingesting it seemed implausible, and the initial findings were dismissed as post-mortem contamination from soil bacteria. Armelagos spent three more decades building the case. He eventually partnered with Mark Nelson, a leading tetracycline specialist at Paratek Pharmaceuticals, who agreed to perform a definitive chemical analysis. The process required dissolving the ancient bones in hydrogen fluoride, one of the most corrosive and dangerous acids in existence. What the resulting liquid-chromatography mass-spectrometry analysis found was not a trace of tetracycline. The bones were saturated with it. Multiple tetracycline variants were identified, including chlortetracycline and oxytetracycline, in concentrations indicating sustained exposure beginning in early childhood and continuing throughout life. Ninety percent of the Nubian individuals tested showed the labeling. The exposure had not been accidental or occasional. It had been lifelong and deliberate. The source was their beer. Ancient Egyptian and Nubian brewing began with grain, typically emmer wheat or barley, which in that region was naturally contaminated with Streptomyces, a soil bacterium that produces tetracycline as a metabolic byproduct. The grain was germinated, made into bread, then incompletely baked to preserve an active center, and finally fermented in vats of water. The standard practice was to seed each new batch with ten percent of the previous one, which kept the Streptomyces culture alive and active from batch to batch in a continuous chain. The resulting brew was thick, sour, low in alcohol, and highly nutritious. Everyone drank it, including children as young as two years old. The critical question Armelagos could not fully resolve was whether the Nubians understood what they were doing. The consensus among researchers is that they almost certainly did not know the mechanism. They had no concept of bacteria, no understanding of antibiotics as a drug class, and no language for what tetracycline was doing in their bodies. What they likely did know, accumulated through generations of observation and passed down as practical knowledge, was that this particular preparation of beer had medicinal effects. Ancient Egyptian and Jordanian medical texts record beer being used to treat gum disease, wounds, and other infections. The brewing method that produced tetracycline appears to have been deliberately maintained and refined over centuries, not by any understanding of the chemistry involved, but by the accumulated recognition that it worked. #archaeohistories
