.@elonmusk so if what you say is true why don’t you give us 93 billion a year to end hunger or 294 billion to end extreme poverty? Few of you and really is pocket change! You will be remember for that with more love than any thing else you do….🫶🏻🕊️🥘

“Donald Trump! We have to hear his voice every day. We have to see his face every day.” “These men are afraid of us.” She will be voting this November. Are you going to let her vote for you?

The world consumes roughly 28 million tonnes of copper every year—a mass equivalent to five Great Pyramids of Giza. Yet that refined metal is just the tip of the iceberg of a far more monstrous physical reality. Beneath those 28 million tonnes of copper sits a massive geological footprint: billions of tonnes of blasted rock, colossal volumes of chemical tailings, vast energy expenditures and trillions of litres of water. This is all fresh, relentless demand. Crucially, up to 75% of that copper never enters individual turbines, solar panels or electric vehicles. It goes into the invisible grid infrastructure required to link everything together and make it function. When you trace 28 million tonnes of copper backward into the Earth, the true scale and cost is staggering. The drive to overhaul the global energy structure rests on a profound misunderstanding of physics: it treats energy supply as a 'software' problem while ignoring the devastating raw material gridlock caused by manufacturing billions of solar panels and over a million wind turbines, with hundreds of thousands more in the pipeline. When an energy system shifts from reliable, high-density fuels—hydrocarbons and uranium—to low-density, intermittent sources like wind and solar, the physical apparatus needed to capture, convert, stabilise and transmit that diffuse flux just explodes. It becomes an absurd trade-off: expending colossal amounts of finite, high-grade fossil fuels upfront simply to dig up materials for low-density generators—generators that can never run a steel mill, power an ocean cargo vessel or sustain international air travel. Mining is already a vast consumer of continuous energy. As global copper ore grades decline—frequently dropping to 0.5% or lower—the mass of rock that must be dug, hauled, and crushed grows exponentially per unit of recovered metal. Crushing rock alone accounts for roughly 3% to 4% of total global electricity consumption. Demanding billions of additional tonnes of processed metal creates a self-defeating loop: huge volumes of reliable, baseline power are consumed just to extract the raw materials needed to construct weather-dependent hardware. Yet the primary metals drain does not come from the turbines or arrays themselves. It stems from the enormous physical web needed to transport that energy across vast distances. Diffuse generators located hundreds of kilometres from cities require unprecedented volumes of step-up transformers, substations, high-voltage transmission lines and regional grid overhauls. The heavy overhead wiring looping across the landscape regularly dwarfs the metal required to build the turbine in the first place. Because two centuries of industrial civilisation have already extracted the highest-grade deposits, meeting future demand forces miners to dig deeper, crush harder and manage billions of tonnes of toxic slurry. This is a twin crisis: the escalating physical cost of ore recovery on the front end, and an unprecedented tsunami of industrial e-waste bound for landfills on the back end. The physical limits of this model are not dictated by how much metal remains in the crust, but by the soaring energy penalty required to dig them up and refine them. Heavy industrial processes—blast furnaces, chemical synthesis, cement production and deep-shaft mining—all need continuous, high-temperature thermal energy and uninterrupted high-voltage power. Intermittent turbines and panels cannot reliably deliver that dense power to sustain heavy industry, let alone an entire national economy. The ultimate irony is that the staggering industrial muscle needed to build, maintain, and periodically replace these diffuse energy systems relies entirely on the coal, oil and gas they were meant to replace. The dream of a fully weather-dependent industrial grid ignores physical reality. It overlooks a looming nightmare of endless ore extraction, refining bottlenecks, and perpetual grid expansion.

Around 2.7 billion years ago, primitive single-celled organisms—known as cyanobacteria—mastered photosynthesis. This was long before the forests and reefs took hold—or indeed before the rise of complex life. The primordial Earth was a world of brooding orange shadows. The oceans were saturated with dissolved iron, the atmosphere dense with carbon dioxide and methane, and the skies blocked by a dim ochre haze, reminding us of Venus. Then came a microscopic revolution in the shallow, sunlit waters of primeval seas. Using sunlight to split liquid water molecules (H₂O), cyanobacteria found a way to harvest hydrogen for energy, releasing elemental oxygen (O₂) as a waste byproduct. What began as a tiny, localised seepage would ultimately re-engineer the entire planet for life. These photosynthesising microbes clustered in vast, shallow marine colonies, building layered stone-like structures known as stromatolites. For hundreds of millions of years, living microbial mats dominated the global coastlines. They were simple, relentless and amazingly successful. At first, the released oxygen did not accumulate in the air. Instead, it was absorbed into the oceans, reacting with vast reservoirs of floating dissolved iron flakes to precipitate trillions of tons of iron oxide onto the seabed. Rust particles floated down like dead snowflakes for tens of millions of years—forming the massive banded iron formations, which have since been used to build every steel structure on planet Earth. When the oceans were finally fully saturated with oxygen, it began to escape into the atmosphere. The result was the Great Oxidation Event—a planetary transformation that radically altered atmospheric chemistry, forming the ozone layer and triggering global cooling. This newly oxygenated world made possible every life form on Earth today. In the immense expanse of geological time, Earth has faced repeated, catastrophic disruptions: runaway glaciations, massive volcanic outpourings and asteroid impacts. Yet through every crisis, the fundamental machinery of life has survived. The microbial genius that first freed oxygen from its watery prison cell simply kept going—readapting, persisting, and laying the chemical foundation for every complex creature that followed. The story of life is nothing less than a quiet but unstoppable resilience. How dare we even think we are more godlike?

After 57 years, Don is still stepping up for his wife every single day. Let’s show him he’s not carrying this heavy load alone. givesendgo.com/helpdonretire

If this doesn’t wake you up You’re dead inside 👀

DON LEMON: "President Trump's MAGA movement is 'America's version' of the Nazi Party." Don, I am FREE, BLACK and 65. And like you, I’m also gay. Difference is, I think for myself and vote my conscience - not my race. In fact, statements like yours are why I joined MAGA in the first place. Because MAGA never insisted and demanded that I vote for Donald Trump. And THEY welcomed me with open arms when I did. Meanwhile, your side cancels, ostracizes and attacks anyone who doesn’t think the way you want them to. That's the exact same fascism you just accused us of. WHY TF WOULD I EVER VOTE FOR THAT? Don, my very famous aunt will tell you: I don’t allow celebrities to tell me how I should think and vote. So while I may be a race-traitor to you, you are an embarrassment to me. You got FIRED from CNN for being irrelevant. Your so-called podcast is failing. Maybe take a look at the man in the mirror, before you start telling others how to live their lives.

“Dave Hurt doesn’t need a lecture on America” All 8 of his great-grandparents and all 16 of his great-great-grandparents were Black. His mother’s side was enslaved in Alabama. His father’s side was enslaved in Texas. He still told a Colorado school board: “I am NOT oppressed. I’m NOT a victim. I travel this country, check into hotels, fly commercially, walk into stores, and order food. I go wherever I want, whenever I want. I’m treated with kindness, dignity, and respect from coast to coast. My 3 children aren’t oppressed either. I’ve taught them they are victims of only three things: their own ignorance, their own laziness, and their own poor decision-making. We are not victims of America. We are not victims of some unseen 190-year-old force floating in the ether.” That’s a father who refuses to hand his kids a grievance script. More of this. Less of the industry that profits from telling them they’re helpless. #AmericaFirst #SchoolBoard #CRT #Fatherhood

This may be one of the most shocking firsthand videos from September 11, capturing the South Tower collapsing as terrified people run for cover. 25 years later, the terror of that moment remains unimaginable. 😟

Earth is still in an ice age. That's not a forecast; it's the truth of the present geological state of the world. Year-round ice remains at both poles and about 10–11% of the world’s land area is still covered by glacial ice — more than 15 million square kilometres. That is roughly one-third of the ice cover during the Last Glacial Maximum 26-20,000 years ago), when glaciers occupied about 25–32% of the land surface. The Antarctic ice sheet dominates that remainder. It covers nearly 14 million square kilometres (about 8.3% of Earth’s land surface), reaches almost 4.8 kilometres thick, and holds around 90% of the planet’s ice by volume. Greenland holds most of the rest. Together they contain more than 99% of Earth’s land ice, also the world's largest single source of freshwater. Global mean surface temperature today is around 15°C. Over the last 500 million years, reconstructed global temperatures have ranged from about 11°C (during the last ice age) to 36°C. For most of that time Earth was warmer than now, mostly without permanent polar ice sheets. The long-term pattern is for hothouse climates interrupted by rare icehouse episodes. We live in one of those icehouse episodes: the Late Cenozoic Ice Age, which began with the glaciation of Antarctica about 34 million years ago. The Quaternary glaciation, with its repeated glacial–interglacial cycles, is the last 2.58 million years of that interval. Human civilisation developed in the current interglacial — a relatively warm pause, not a departure from the ice age itself. Oceans, not the atmosphere, dominate the physical climate system. Water covers up to 75% of the planet (including lakes and rivers), and the oceans have an average depth of about 3.7 kilometres. They hold the great majority of the surface carbon reservoir and of the retained heat stored in the climate system; the atmosphere holds on the order of 1–2% of each. Forests cover about 31% of land; deserts about 33%. Most of the planet remains sparsely inhabited wilderness. For four decades public debate has treated a short geological record and computer projections as if they define the planet’s normal state. The longer record is different: polar ice is still vast, the oceans still hold almost all the heat and carbon, and the Holocene warmth we treat as baseline is an interglacial inside an ice age that has already lasted tens of millions of years. That context does not settle policy. But it means any serious discussion has to start from the planet we actually have, not an assumption that ice at the poles is an anomaly.

Pfizer paid John Legend. The World Health Organization paid Lady Gaga. From there the confirmed list runs through musicians, athletes, networks, studios, leagues and household-name anchors. Who else can put that many voices on the same script at once? #BigPharma #Pfizer #MelK

Actor Bryan Cranston: "Just ask yourself, from an African American experience, when was it ever great in America?" OK I'll tell you: How about EVERY DAY FROM MY BIRTHDAY IN 1961 TO TODAY. Because I DID THE WORK. I went to school. Got a good education. Used it to get good jobs. Never had any issues with racism or discrimination. That is, until I announced being for Trump in 2018. And then, the bias came from DEMOCRAT FAMILY AND FRIENDS. It took me 57 years to learn what being DISCRIMINATED AGAINST feels like. And I learned it from people I loved, people I respected. BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T RESPECT ME, OR MY RIGHT TO CHOOSE. And here's a secret they dont tell you: Political bigotry feels exactly the same as RACISM. Because it's one group of people acting like they're better than you BECAUSE OF WHO YOU ARE. I'm proud of my choice though, and I’m excited to belong to a movement that puts America FIRST. Because with democrats like Cranston destroying this country and its national cohesion, I find it to be a much-needed call for improvement. God Bless America!
