Massive geopolitical shift. The Dutch Chief of Defence confirms Europe is actively preparing to sideline the US military. They are building an independent defense force using cheap advanced tech because they can no longer rely on the chaotic Trump administration.
@LarryJones Why do spend treasure to explore? We go to these places because it is the future. So, if we as a people choose not to move forward and seize the future, we will be left in the gutter of history. It is a choice to explore and accept the challenge.
Please, Jesus, let the next president of the United States be normal.
Not a psychopath or a sycophant. Not a corpse. Just a person capable of seeming normal.
France has ordered every government agency to start getting rid of Microsoft Windows to reduce their reliance on American technology.
Every French government computer will be on Linux by autumn 2026.
James Webb just uncovered a serious problem with our understanding of the universe.
New data from the James Webb Space Telescope confirms a major discrepancy in the universe's expansion rate, suggesting our current understanding of physics may be fundamentally incomplete.
For years, astronomers have been caught in a tug-of-war over the "Hubble tension," a baffling disagreement between two methods of measuring how fast the universe is growing. While measurements of the early universe suggest one speed, observations of local stars suggest another. Many scientists hoped this gap was simply the result of measurement errors; however, new high-precision observations from the James Webb Space Telescope have now confirmed the discrepancy is undeniably real. By analyzing more than 1,000 pulsating stars across galaxies millions of light-years away, the telescope has validated previous findings and ruled out the possibility of technical glitches.
This confirmation puts modern cosmology at a crossroads. If the math is right but the numbers do not match, it suggests that our standard model of the cosmos is missing a vital ingredient. This could mean the existence of unknown subatomic particles, a new form of dark energy, or a fundamental misunderstanding of how gravity behaves on a universal scale. As we continue to push the boundaries of space exploration, these results prove that the universe still guards secrets that may eventually force us to rewrite the textbooks on how reality itself is structured.

“If we took all MAGA men from ages 15 to 50 and replace them with immigrants, violence against women and children would decrease to almost 0%”
That’s one of the most absurd and offensive takes out there—demonizing American men while pretending illegal immigration somehow makes communities safer is completely detached from reality.
🚨Update: All young men in the US aged 18–25 will be automatically registered for the US military draft starting December 2026!
The last time the US had an active military draft was in February 1973, during the Vietnam War.
@zapatas_mom In the US, it isn't a thing one way or the other. Our city culture hasn't matured like in Europe. Neighborhoods get old and turn to dangerous ghettos. Public transportation to work spaces is rare. Walking means stepping over needles, human waste and the unhomed - very odorous.
Americans… this is a good faith question. I’m not baiting or trolling. Why are you so scared of condos and walkable cities? Does not having to drive for your groceries freak you out? What about it makes you uncomfortable? Please be honest.
