Gov. Tim Walz vows to fight Donald Trump’s agenda while working to understand his appeal
  • GDI Walz, it's ok to be out of touch and confused, but keep the fucking quiet part quiet. Figure it out and fix it, reboot the DNC to the left and give us something compelling. I voted, but more as a sense of duty than actual being hopeful for the future.

  • What's Some Advice You Give But Don't Take?
  • You really need to get your backups in order.

  • What do you think the age demographic on Lemmy is?
  • I have a 5 digit slashdot id.

  • What song did you love until you found out what it was about?
  • Not so much found out about but songs that didn't used to bother me now kind of bother me. I was a very big Stone Temple Pilots fan, Even though the rhythms slap the songs are a little too rapey these days for my taste.

  • Devastated Harris voters conclude America just hates women as Trump wins again
  • We lost because of a lack of blue votes but what, 40% of the US basically voted to have them as property?

  • Briton faces jail in Dubai after criticising ex-boss on Google
  • courts of law.

    There are always courts of law! Just somtimes it's the king in his court making up the law...

  • Yes, their platform was weak. But you seriously thought a fascist dictatorship was an acceptable alternative?
  • No, what you stated is why red voted red. This race wasn't lost because red voted red. This race was lost because blue didn't vote. The numbers are very clear it's a little more red than there was last time but there was a lot less blue

  • I spent 6000+ hours of my life building this character
  • Long live the Blackspire Guard

  • Too bad they are missing their Christmas bonuses.
  • not exactly shocking, not the first time Trump has made tariffs. Last time they drove the cost of house construction up.

  • Is there a conversational AI chat bot that isn't... So horny? Preferably free, but I'll pay a little bit of it's good.
  • You can pretty much use anything that's not intel iris with varying levels of work.

    The real fight is throwing enough vram at it.

  • To all american "leftists" who didn't vote for Kamala, FUCK YOU!
  • ine instead sign a peace deal with borders similar to

    So Putin just says, "Oh, we were wrong. You're fine. Things just go back to the way they were." The concessions don't include anything else that Ukraine needs to pay them in money, manpower, or trade, and there's no further back-and-forth for about five years?

    Hell yeah.

    We putting money on this?

  • Bernie Sanders blasts Democratic Party following Harris loss

  • every red flag

    And the bull horn, and the press releases and the public speeches.

  • Republicans admit they plan to implement Project 2025
  • It's not like they've gone through any pains to hide it. Honestly, he stood on stage and shouted it at people. He said it directly to the press.

    I'm not sure he could have tried any harder to tell them exactly what his plan was and who he is.

    He didn't win despite who he is; he won because of it. He won because his base is that awful.

  • Republicans admit they plan to implement Project 2025
  • "but he's hurting the wrong people, tell him that, he must not know it!"

  • You won't have to vote ever again!
  • Imagine being nostalgic for this.... That's scary AF

  • We might be living the final moments of not being terrified what the US President is going to do
  • Because we did such a good job of that in his last presidency and he wasn't a god king yet. /s

    Cats, and apparently capybaras are an invasive species on social media. I don't hate them or anything but they show up everywhere in places they have new business being.

    The Statue of Unity is the world's tallest statue, with a height of 182 metres (597 feet), located near Kevadia in the state of Gujarat, India. It depicts Indian statesman and independence activist Vallabhbhai Patel (1875–1950), who was the first deputy prime minister and home minister of independent India...

    The project was first announced in 2010, and construction started in October 2013 ... with a total construction cost of ₹27 billion (US$422 million). It was designed by Indian sculptor Ram V. Sutar and was inaugurated by the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, on 31 October 2018, the 143rd anniversary of Patel's birth.

    Črni Vrh Slovenia ice formations circa 2016

    Slovenia

    High above the village of Črni Vrh, fantastical ice formations—including spikes over a yard long—encase the trees and lookout tower atop Mount Javornik. The windswept ice, or hard rime, is the result of fog freezing after a week of snow and gales. This image appears in the December 2016 issue of National Geographic magazine.

    [SPOILER] S[8||11]x01 non-spoilery Review
    spoiler

    Damn they got down to business right away! Loved the humor. Love the story, Cheezy streaming refs went on a little long. Fry, Leela and the Professors Voicing had a few rough spots that wouldn't have happened in the last incarnation, it honestly kinda reminded me of some of the early voicing in season 1. John DiMaggio's performance was flawless. I love that they kinda mixed in a small anthology, had most of the people make cameos.

    Well-Preserved 3,000-Year-Old Bronze Sword Found In Germany

    https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/bronze-age-sword-germany-180982399/

    archaeologists excavating a gravesite in the southern Bavarian town of Nördlingen found a 3,000-year-old sword in excellent condition

    >Given the soft nature of bronze, historians have previously wondered whether such blades served a ceremonial purpose, rather than a practical purpose on the battlefield. A few years ago, scientists even staged sword fights in order to learn more about how the Bronze Age weapons could have been used effectively in battle, despite being much easier to damage and harder to repair than their iron successors.

    Hey, are you guys supposed to be playing with the artifacts?

    it's research!

    "Blood falls" in Antarctica. This water contains ferrous iron, which, combining with atmospheric air, oxidizes and forms rust. It gives the waterfall that blood-red colour

    Source:

    /r/interestingasfuck /u/XyRow666

    I honestly found this one googling around, but XyRow666 presented a far nicer collage than anywhere else I could find.

    more info: https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/blood-falls

    Roughly two million years ago, the Taylor Glacier sealed beneath it a small body of water which contained an ancient community of microbes. Trapped below a thick layer of ice, they have remained there ever since, isolated inside a natural time capsule. Evolving independently of the rest of the living world, these microbes exist in a place with no light or free oxygen and little heat, and are essentially the definition of “primordial ooze.” The trapped lake has very high salinity and is rich in iron, which gives the waterfall its red color. A fissure in the glacier allows the subglacial lake to flow out, forming the falls without contaminating the ecosystem within.

    The Crooked Forest

    The Crooked Forest (Polish: Krzywy Las) is a grove of oddly-shaped pine trees located in the village of Nowe Czarnowo near the town of Gryfino, West Pomerania, in north-western Poland. It is a protected natural monument of Poland.

    This grove of 400 pines was planted in around 1930. Each pine tree bends sharply to the north, just above ground level, then curves back upright after a sideways excursion of one to three meters (3–9 feet). The curved pines are enclosed by a surrounding forest of straight pine trees.

    It is generally believed that some form of human tool or technique was used to make the trees grow or bend this way, but the method has never been determined, and remains a mystery to this day. It has been speculated that the trees may have been deformed to create naturally curved timber for use in furniture or boat building. Others surmise that a snowstorm could have bent the trunks, but there is little evidence of that.

    Many people have been trying to find an answer to this mystery, but since the town of Gryfino was largely abandoned between the early stages of World War II until the 1970s, the people who were there before the war and probably had the answer to the mystery of the Crooked Forest are now likely gone forever.

    Earlier this year, this lenticular cloud appeared over Turkey.

    There are a lot of hoax or fake weather pictures on social media, but the viral pictures of a rose-colored cloud in Turkey are legitimate. On January 19th, 2023, a strange cloud appeared above the Bursa province.

    Ghost apples

    Ghost apples are made from a pretty interesting phenomenon whereby frozen weather coats an apple in ice. When the apple inside rots and falls out, the icy shell is left behind and you get an ice apple.
