@TimOnPoint You're smart, you know why Republicans refuse to fund TSA. Nice to know that Democrats think Americans shouldn't be murdered by ICE on the streets and it's not too hard to take off those masks and have an actual warrant before breaking into a home.

I’m in a TSA Precheck line that goes all the way out to the parking garage in Philadelphia. Congress, what in the hell is wrong with you? In a new era of increasing terrorism, 25 years after 9/11, and you’re not funding DHS because you’re mad about illegal aliens being deported? Go F- yourselves, every single one of you. Not blaming TSA. They’re working their butts off this morning.

@TimOnPoint Notice how the lines in the airports surrounding DC aren't bad? I wonder why.

Islamic imam in Germany: “As soon as you enter Paradise, 72 virgins will be waiting for you. When you are done with one virgin, the next one will be ready for you. The virgins won’t be jealous of each other.” Why is it all about sex in the afterlife for them?!

Your chart includes hybrids. Which still rely on 'fossil fuel fragility.' Using Mexico as an example, last year(2025) BEVs only accounted for roughly 1.6% of new car sales. Additionally, passenger car EVs do not include all the heavy equipment, planes, boats, and military vehicles that are still gas powered. Hate to break it to you, but it is going to be at least a couple decades before BEVs become dominant.

@JessePeltan Nah, being FORCED into EVs. The power generation, storage medium, and charging times are nowhere near the levels needed. 95% of the world will still use fossil fuels and it has stayed pretty consistent.

JUST IN: 'Bachelorette' star shares statement following the release of a video by TMZ, apparently showing her throwing metal bar stools at her ex-boyfriend. A spokesperson for Taylor Frankie Paul says the video "omits context," calling its release "desperate." "It’s sad to see the latest installment of his never-ending, desperate, attention-seeking, destructive campaign to harm Taylor without any regard for the consequences for their child," a spokesperson said to Variety. "Releasing an old video, which conveniently omits context, on their son’s birthday is a reprehensible attempt to distract from his own behavior." "Thankfully, the public has seen this act before and knows who he is, and sadly, many will recognize this pattern of manipulation, both in his actions on the show and from their own experiences."

It seem you never read his writings. "My opinion with respect to emigration is, that except of useful mechanics and some particular descriptions of men or professions, there is no need of encouragement; while the policy or advantage of its taking place in a body... may be much questioned; for by so doing they retain the language, habits, and principles (good or bad) which they bring with them. Whereas by an inter-mixture with our people, they or their descendants get assimilated..." - George Washington "The bosom of America is open to receive not only the opulent and respectable Stranger, but the oppressed & persecuted of all Nations an Religions; whom we shall welcome to a participation of all our rights and privileges, if by decency and propriety of conduct they appear to merit the enjoyment." Even then he understood that immigrants have to be legal and prove to be an asset to the country, not a bunch of border jumpers and law breakers, nor people who would defraud the system and refuse to integrate into our culture. Nice try though.

My guess is the upkeep, when fall comes all the leaves 🍂 litter the streets and sidewalks and most people would rather not deal with that every 9 months rather than have a lush neighborhood to come home too, I agree with you though the neighborhood's back then were more beautiful

I understand that new neighborhoods will not be mature enough to have wonderful canopy trees, duh. But why are they (basically) not planting any trees at all? I think I see four or five baby trees? A new neighborhood rarely looks good, but ones like this will NEVER look good.

@sircalebhammer Tree's are expensive and require a lot of maintenance. That said, I prefer them as they a) oxygenate, b) absorb sound, and c) just add natural air conditioning if done right.

@Adorable_Adora1 @CollinRugg His family did raise him. They shouldn't be surprised. At least they know he's safe now, won't hurt anyone innocent, and can hopefully turn his time into an education for when he is paroled. Bonus, he won't be homeless.

@CollinRugg I’m not saying what he did was okay. It was serious and wrong. I’m just saying it’s sad that someone so young will spend most of their life in prison and that his family must be hurting too.

NEW: Family of a Texas teen loses it as judge sentences him to 25 years in prison for robbing a convenience store. Judge Raquel West was seen torching 18-year-old Caden James Fontenette before handing out the sentence. "There was a time some years ago that there really wasn't even a question... State's attorneys were recommending youthful offenders probation. Let's give everybody an opportunity..." West said. "You don't have a good likelihood of being successful if I were to put you on probation... I'm going to sentence you to a term of 25 years." Fontenette pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery for a 2025 incident where he and two others robbed a convenience store at gunpoint. The suspects were caught on camera assaulting the store clerk. Fontenette will likely be in his 40s when he is released from prison.

@peterrhague To be fair, the Shuttle was 40 year old tech when it was retired. They had been developing it since the late 60's with the first official order coming in 72. That's like comparing a Ferrari Testa Rosa to an SF90.

They have put over 10,000 commercial satellites into orbit. Falcon 9 now flies more missions each year than the ostensibly reusable Shuttle did in 30. They are the first to recover both stages of a rocket from orbit. Yes, they are obviously revolutionary, don’t be salty.
PebMets@PebMet1

Based on many comments, it appears some believe the space program started in 2002, the year SpaceX was formed. They write as if reusable vehicles, landing probes on Mars, or a crew on the moon is a new thing. In their minds, everything SpaceX does is revolutionary.
