New article out about what a million satellites could do to our atmosphere. It's bad. https://theconversation.com/a-new-space-race-could-turn-our-atmosphere-into-a-crematorium-for-satellites-276366

A new space race could turn our atmosphere into a ‘crematorium for satellites’

Planned ‘megaconstellations’ of satellites could cause unforeseen harm to the ozone layer and climate systems. Global regulation is needed before it’s too late.

German satirical artist Jacques Tilly has been sued in Russia by Vladimir Putin for defaming the Russian state by making carnival sculptures in Germany — outside Putin's dystopian jurisdiction — so it would be a real shame, if that made us share his artworks and embarrass Putin even further.

You are being misled about renewable energy technology.

I read stories about the massively inflated share prices of various companies.

#TaxTheRich with a wealth tax, so that billionaires actually have to pay taxes on all of those stock holdings.

Then maybe they will actually be accurately valued.

@neonbubble the thermal gradient gets warmer the deeper you go into the Earth.

I hate that these Earth-destroying bros name all of their shit after the cooleset things. Oklo is the natural fission reactor found in Gabon...one of the most amazing geologic discoveries of all time. The site needed a high concentration of natural uranium + very pure water to start a natural fission reaction. And no, I don't trust them with plutonium, which is very expensive to make and secure.
