Reminder that in Gaza alone, around 90-95% of the water supply is contaminated and unfit for human consumption...
If you dont believe israel is capable of this evilness (that they've been enforcing for OVER 50 YEARS) read it for yourself, from AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL

Fucking hell
I know this image is just an artistic rendering, but was Chicxulub even close to being that big?
YES, ABSOLUTELY. if anything, that paleoart UNDERSTATES it!
the Chicxulub Impactor was about six miles wide, meaning that when its bottom edge slammed into the atlantic ocean at roughly 20 km/s, its top edge was still in the upper atmosphere.

Here’s an excerpt from Peter Brannon’s book The Ends of the World:
“These numbers are precise without usefully conveying the scale of the calamity. What they mean is that a rock larger than Mount Everest hit planet Earth traveling twenty times faster than a bullet. This is so fast that it would have traversed the distance from the cruising altitude of a 747 to the ground in 0.3 seconds. The asteroid itself was so large that, even at the moment of impact, the top of it might have still towered more than a mile above the cruising altitude of a 747. In its nearly instantaneous descent, it compressed the air below it so violently that it briefly became several times hotter than the surface of the sun.
“The pressure of the atmosphere in front of the asteroid started excavating the crater before it even got there,” Rebolledo said. “Then when the meteorite touched ground zero, it was totally intact. It was so massive that the atmosphere didn’t even make a scratch on it.”
Unlike the typical Hollywood CGI depictions of asteroid impacts, where an extraterrestrial charcoal briquette gently smolders across the sky, in the Yucatan it would have been a pleasant day one second and the world was already over by the next. As the asteroid collided with the earth, in the sky above it where there should have been air, the rock had punched a hole of outer space vacuum in the atmosphere. As the heavens rushed in to close this hole, enormous volumes of earth were expelled into orbit and beyond — all within a second or two of impact.
“So there’s probably little bits of dinosaur bone up on the moon,” I asked.
“Yeah, probably.”
“it briefly became several times hotter than the surface of the sun”
Ohhhh my god

Is the post about that one boomer game reviewer who was seething over a game’s dlc having a scene with 2 10 pixel sized pride flags?

1. pewdiepie gets called a nazi because his anti-semitic and racist jokes have attracted a following of mostly reactionaries
2. to prove the libs wrong and own them he decides to donate $50,000 to the ADL
3. recieves so much backlash from his now exclusively reactionary fanbase that he cancels the donation
i literally can't see a single reason why you would defend this guy anymore

Last year, I got invited to a super-deluxe private resort to deliver a keynote speech to what I assumed would be a hundred or so investment bankers.
…
After I arrived, I was ushered into what I thought was the green room. But instead of being wired with a microphone or taken to a stage, I just sat there at a plain round table as my audience was brought to me: five super-wealthy guys — yes, all men — from the upper echelon of the hedge fund world. After a bit of small talk, I realized they had no interest in the information I had prepared about the future of technology.
They had come with questions of their own.They started out innocuously enough. Ethereum or bitcoin? Is quantum computing a real thing? Slowly but surely, however, they edged into their real topics of concern.Which region will be less impacted by the coming climate crisis: New Zealand or Alaska? Is Google really building Ray Kurzweil a home for his brain, and will his consciousness live through the transition, or will it die and be reborn as a whole new one? Finally, the CEO of a brokerage house explained that he had nearly completed building his own underground bunker system and asked, “How do I maintain authority over my security force after the event?”
rich people are fucking terrifying

The Event. That was their euphemism for the environmental collapse, social unrest, nuclear explosion, unstoppable virus, or Mr. Robot hack that takes everything down.
This single question occupied us for the rest of the hour. They knew armed guards would be required to protect their compounds from the angry mobs. But how would they pay the guards once money was worthless? What would stop the guards from choosing their own leader? The billionaires considered using special combination locks on the food supply that only they knew. Or making guards wear disciplinary collars of some kind in return for their survival. Or maybe building robots to serve as guards and workers — if that technology could be developed in time.
eat the rich before they eat the rest of us
the REAL problem here is IMMIGRANTS you fools! 😤
I love how rich people are willing to consider a miserable existence for themselves once the world dies in order to hold on to their world order. Like do you like the idea of living underground in a bunker paranoid of your slave guards eating????
You should take off your pants and see if they practice double standards.

Share this far and wide.

The far right spread fake antifa propaganda that they’ve made. They spread contradictory lies by pretending a decentralized group with no rules or controls with varying methods and ideologies, has a manual.
The far right make false signs and pretend to be antifa at demos to discredit us and play us off as racist thugs, talk about projection.
People literally stab themselves and blame it on antifa then confess it never happened.
Now they intentionally act as innocent to instigate fights and play us as the ones causing problems.
The far right are Built on lies and propaganda, so many of their articles end up being fake, based on false statistics, small slithers of information taken out of context. They intentionally generate and spread false information to forward their agenda.

They also do the same with Antifa’s sister organization, The Black Bloc
trashgender-neurotica
Actually, AntiFA is a movement of antifascists, not an organization. Though there are antifascist crews formed in some places so that antifascists can cooperate, anyone taking action against fascism is part of AntiFA (or Anti-Fascist Action).
Black Bloc is a tactic used by various movements to protect the identities of the participants of an action. As a few examples it’s been used by the Anti-Globalization movement (Ex. The Hamburg Insurrection/G20 Protest), Anti-Fascist Action Movement (Ex The Clash at Berkeley and at Charlottesville), Environmentalists, and even Pride marches across the world in places they can see serious consequences being out.
Thanks for the support tho!

this is so gross i cant believe that this is how the media is portraying shia, a jewish man, shutting down a LITERAL NAZI who didnt just “show up” to the protest….. he was reciting the 14 words. he went to the protest to spew antisemitic and white supremacist hate speech at a jewish man and SHIA is the one who is painted badly in the news. i legitimately want to cry .
Did y'all see the video of the guy who said Hitler did nothing wrong & then Shia slightly pushed him off & now everyone is saying how Shia “assaulted” the guy? Like, how do you go up to a Jewish man, & then say Hitler did nothing wrong. I can’t believe we live in a world filled with Nazi sympathizers.
