We're going to drown ourselves in shit.
What an achievement.
Russia dropped "Gingerbread" mines from drones in Sumy, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, and Mykolaiv oblasts
They are only 5–6 cm in size and almost invisible, but contain about 30 grams of plastic explosive—enough to blow off a leg. The mine is triggered by pressure

Opening major new fields in the North Sea would make almost no difference to the UK’s reliance on gas imports.
The Jackdaw field, one of the largest unexploited gasfields in the North Sea, would displace only 2% of the UK’s current imports of gas, which would leave the UK still almost entirely dependent on supplies from Norway and a few other sources.
My fellow people of the United States, if I have anything to teach from what Minneapolis just lived through, it is this:
Nobody is coming to save us.
Not Congress. Not the courts. Not the ICC or the EU or NATO. Not the generals or the rank and file. Not the press. Not the markets. Not the elections. Not some mythical version of “The People” that materializes out of nowhere as some messianic external force.
We’re it. We’re all we’ve got. If we don’t stop fascism from completely engulfing the US, then nobody stops it.

Headline: "The global oil crisis is turning into an everything crisis"
Me: Told ya so!
Guess the media are only catching up on saying this now (if the govt hadn't advised them to hold off saying this until after Easter)...
You know, the oil watch website today was saying current estimates are that it will likely be at least October 2026 before oil supplies return to normal, if not December (with only 79% confidence) and beyond (I.e. that remaining 20%)!!! Not "May"... not "June", and not even "August/September"... 😬

Welp. If this holds water, a lot of textbooks are going to have to be rewritten.
Researchers at the Jiangchuan Biota in Yunnan, China, excavated approximately 700 fossils between 2022 and 2025, revealing complex animal life existed between 554 million and 539 million years ago, at least 4 million years before the Cambrian.
By Mindy Weisberger, CNN (CNN) — Goblet-shaped sea jelly relatives with miniature “arms.” A plump, legless creature resembling a sausage. Long, wormlike animals tipped with flat “holdfast” discs for anchoring to the seafloor. Newfound fossils from a site in southwestern China, preserved in exquisite detail, offer a peek at a time in Earth’s distant past called the Ediacaran (635 million to 542 million years ago). The discovery suggests that comp…
Did you know that a human hit by a car at 30 km/hr has a 90% chance of survival?
A person, hit by a car at 40 km/hr has a 60% chance of survival.
Your neighbour, hit by a car at 50 km/hr has a 20% chance of survival.
Your friend, hit by a car at 60 km/hr has no chance of survival.
The chances of survival are cut in half if hit by a large truck or SUV.
