For literally decades climate hawks and progressives have warned that internal combustion will die off and the tech of the future is electric + battery power and that if we didn’t seize the initiative China would eat our lunch and…welp!

"There Is No Epstein Client List," Say Epstein's Clients Jul 8, 2025 WORLD — Concerned citizens of nations around the world breathed a collective sigh of relief this week, as the individuals who comprised Jeffrey Epstein's client list assured everyone that there was no Epstein client list. After years of speculation about the names that could be present on the list of people who were involved in Epstein's alleged global human trafficking ring, the matter was finally settled by the people on the list issuing a joint statement denying the existence of the list. "The list that our names are on does not exist," said a representative of the people named on the list. "While it has been claimed that the presence of our names on Jeffrey Epstein's list was evidence that we were potentially guilty of horrific crimes against innocent victims, we can assure everyone that there is no ‘client list,' regardless of the fact that our names are on it." Though skeptics maintained that Epstein's client list most definitely existed and was being concealed by powerful elites to keep it secret, the powerful elites were adamant that it was not the case. "Don't be ridiculous," said one powerful elite. "As one of the people who is named on the Epstein client list, I can say with full confidence that there is no Epstein client list. Please stop asking about the release of the Epstein client list, thank you. Because it doesn't exist. And I would know, because my name is on it."

The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) is like a snapshot of the newborn universe, taken 380,000 years after the Big Bang.

It is a key piece of evidence for the standard cosmological model (ΛCDM), but a new study suggests that part of this signal...

This Hubble image depicts the massive elliptical galaxy ESO 325-G004. Located about 450 million light-years from Earth in the Abell 3574 supercluster, it is an example of early elliptical galaxies (ETGs), which, billions of years ago, were like "cosmic fires" thanks to intense bursts of star formation. Their light, absorbed and re-emitted by cosmic dust, may have mixed with the CMB, the "roar" of the Big Bang, influencing what we observe today During their formation, these galaxies shone 10,000 times brighter than they do today, contributing to the cosmic microwave background. Imagine a vast, luminous cloud suspended in a dark void, like a giant lantern illuminating the silence of space. The main galaxy has an oval shape, with a central core emitting a bright light, like the warm glow of a fire. This light gradually fades towards the edges, as if the galaxy were shrouded in a soft mist fading into darkness. The hue is warm, similar to a pale yellow or pale white, conveying a sense of calm, like a celestial object that witnessed the birth of the universe. There are no sharp details or irregularities, but a smooth, uniform surface, conveying an impression of order and stability. Surrounding the galaxy, the background is dark, like a moonless night sky, dotted with specks of light, resembling distant sparks. Other galaxies are visible, scattered like cosmic dust in a vast empty space.The stars marked by bright rays (diffraction spikes) belong to our galaxy, the Milky Way, and are foreground stars that appear in the field of view of the image taken by Hubble. The image evokes a sense of grandeur and mystery, as if we were mentally touching a remote corner of the early universe.

Bass: I just signed an executive directive that puts all city departments and leadership on notice to protect Angelenos—essentially from the federal government.

We’re also filing a FOIA request because we want to know: Who are these masked men, and why are they masked in the first place?

Funny how Marco Rubio calls himself a devout Catholic while celebrating the death of USAID. Catholic doctrine demands a preferential option for the poor, not a crusade to starve them. Spare us the sanctimony. Your faith is just a prop when it’s convenient.
