In search of those asking big questions and discussing powerful ideas.

What's important to you? Let's talk about it.

Ankaŭ, mi ŝatas babili en Esperanton fojfoje.

>Brad Raffensperger, the Georgia Republican official who famously rebuffed former President Donald J. Trump’s requests to “find” enough votes to help him overturn the 2020 election, defeated a Republican primary challenge on Tuesday.

>Mr. Raffensperger, who serves as Georgia’s top elections official as secretary of state, won his G.O.P. primary against Representative Jody Hice, a Republican congressman who voted to overturn the 2020 election and who was backed by Mr. Trump.

Looks like those who compromised on everything just to get a Trump endorsement are in trouble. Good.

A bank that helped finance the Eiffel Tower drained millions of dollars from Haiti. That history has been all but erased — but The New York Times tracked the money. nyti.ms/3NmjYRI

If you haven't been reading all the recent NYT articles on Haiti, you're really missing out.

liffy 💜

roses are red
violets are blue
in surveillance capitalism
poem reads you

and shows you ads
for flower shops
and tracks your clicks
and never stops

it cares not about
if privacy's harmed
the money is green
when people are farmed

twitter is cyan
facebook is blue
your friends are the product
and so are you

Five minutes into the speech, referring to Vladimir Putin’s Russian invasion, [George W.] Bush says: "The result is an absence of checks and balances and the decision of one man to launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq. I mean of Ukraine.” Bush then laughs at this error and says, “Iraq too.”

@Andy_European sorry, I couldn't reply to your last message for some reason.

I wanted to close by saying that if you're trying to achieve a fossil-free energy future, it must include nuclear. Except in very rare cases, you cannot accomplish it using wind/solar alone.

What does habitability really mean? Do we know of any habitable #exoplanets? How will we be able to study them now and in the future?

Follow along for answers to these #science questions and more!

(fair warning, this will be a long thread. the threaded posts are unlisted as a best practice, but you can still boost them)
