On this day in 1931, a segregated Georgia hospital refused to admit Juliette Derricotte, dean of Fisk University, and one of her students after a serious car accident. They both died as a result.

Around the world, from Türkiye to China to Greece, former coal mines are being repurposed for solar energy in a growing trend that blends clean electricity with regional development and environmental restoration. Read more 👇 www.aa.com.tr/en/science-t...

Remember, artists: when people say, “I’d buy a print of this,” they don’t mean it. That sentence itself is just a weird compliment that rarely converts to an actual print sale. It’s like if someone ate a very good hot dog and then said, “I could eat 10,000 of these right now.”

Another phase.

Buried in the article: “Over a period of six months, researchers estimate that COVID-19 infections led to 2.24 extra cases of myocarditis or pericarditis per 100,000 children, while vaccinations led to 0.85 extra cases per 100,000.” The scare tactic of the headline is what’s wrong with media today

I am interested in going to a baseball game in Tokyo next summer. Is it easy to get a ticket? Which teams are worth watching?

BEVs are replacing petroleum itself. OEMs either switch to BEVs now or go bust soon. But filling stations will close, refineries will close and drivers will stop buying ICEV much sooner than people imagine. Chinese OEMs are taking over factories to build BEVs. The end is very much nigh.

It was 'giant insect day' when I visited this particular foreshore. Both of these creatures were upside-down and unable to right themselves, so I helped them up and gave them a log to steady themselves. I have now rehoused them in a less tidal habitat -around one of the street trees in my road.

Meanwhile, in South Korea: "Starting at the end of November, public parking lots with more than 80 spaces will be required to install solar power generation facilities. This obligation applies not only to newly constructed parking lots but also to existing ones." cm.asiae.co.kr/en/article/2...

BEVs are more than just cars. Switching commercial vehicles (buses, lorries, vans, bikes +) from ICEVs to BEVs can only get faster. BEVs are much cheaper to run; less servicing/maintenance, more time on the road, much lower fuel costs, easier to drive esp stop/go. stories.rivian.com/amazon-rivia...

Yet again, Leftists do not comprehend that Rightists believe in a natural hierarchy in social order. Yes, they do think that wealthy people deserve perks and poor people deserve to be poor. Literally that. And if the Rightist is poor, they still think that. It supports their view, not challenges it.

Very entertaining video about a small thing in Japan. youtu.be/zK7Iu_vArSQ

BEVs are replacing petroleum itself. Petroleum is 25% of the oil industry, but needs economies of scale to thrive. As BEVs increase in the fleet, petrol sales fall, scale falls, costs rise, return on investment vanishes. Filling stations close, refineries close. It's already begun and it won't stop.

Ed from the tortoise keepers Facebook page who was in a bit of hot water for dming the female tortoise keepers a few years back has DIED. Rip Ed

Right wing people think that there is an in-group and an out-group. They also think that there is a natural hierarchy to any group. They think that the elite deserve to have marble loos. No, they do not think they're going to be billionaires themselves, they accept their place. So seeing this stuff

Wow. One more chance to see RUSH becomes possible. #RUSH

BRING BACK WHITE DOG POO! ANYBODY REMEMBER THOSE? WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT? LET'S BRING THAT BACK!

kim kardashian saying the moonlanding is fake is because she is one of the world's most skilled and successful people at exploiting how the modern attention economy works her statement should be seen as having no relationship at all to her personal beliefs about the reality of the moon landing

I wish people would understand the difference between a title and a name. Mr, Mrs, Miss, Dr, Prince, Queen, these are all titles, not names. Andrew is a name, not a title. His name was not and is not Prince Andrew. It is and always was Andrew Windsor. Jesus Fuck, learn the difference.

The Supreme Leader completed the round of golf in only 12 strokes, with 6 holes in one, three from a single stroke. All hail the Supreme Leader.

It's always just Andrew Windsor. They literally have normal names just like everyone else. Firstname Lastname. Prince is only a title, not a name. Like Mr or Mrs or Miss. They are just normal people, so just behave normally and use their normal names. Betty Windsor. Charles Windsor. Just be normal.

I have a weekly bus ticket. I just went up the shops. I missed getting 4 buses. One I waited for but it was late so I walked. Been walking for an hour and got zero utility from my sunk cost. Not happy.

Nuclear weapons need uranium. Uranium is hugely expensive. To make uranium processing cheaper, they use nuclear fuel as a cover. You can use thorium as nuclear fuel just as well, more safely, but not for nuclear weapons. Bezos is ramping up nuclear fuel which allows more nuclear weapons.

Thank you for a wonderful #Essen!! 🤗 Thank you for stopping by our booth. I was so happy to see everyone. I finally found an Eng. copy of BombBusters, and also found Chocomel!! Have a safe trip home everyone 🥰 Miss you already!!!

The infrastructure is most everywhere. If there's an electric light, there's your infrastructure. Their false argument is; I cannot refuel in a few minutes. This is bad faith acting by moving the goalposts with an inherently false claim. Refuelling with petrol takes much longer than they claim.

I did not know that the Japanese prefectures (Ken) had shops in Ginza to promote their regions. There are 47 Ken in Japan, and 26 have shops there. Which ones, which shops, are the best to visit? I wonder how many Ken I have been to??

Why anybody still takes news media seriously is beyond me. Anything that I was directly involved with, the news reporting was always a complete load of bollocks. Apply that to the rest of the world.

Oct. 25, 1925: George Jessel, the star of Broadway hit “The Jazz Singer,” reconciles with his wife, fellow actor Florence Courtney. Jessel and Courtney have married (1919), divorced (1921), remarried (1922), re-divorced (1923) and re-remarried (1924) before separating this year.

thinking again at the (real) issue of EV regenerative breaking decelerating cars quite a lot without the break signal lighting up cuz the break pedal has not been pressed and the fact that this has been a thing for a long time and was called "having a monocylinder motorcycle"

On the bus to work yesterday, looked down to see a learner in a driving school car stall the engine. EVs don't stall. A year back, a US driver failed their test because they'd not used the brake pedal enough (driver's car was a Tesla so they were used to regen braking). Will drivers *have* to learn

I like how people think that thing is actually going to be built. Instead of, it's a $350M grift. Knock the old one down, dig some holes, put up some scaffold, fuck off with $350M. Job done. Also, you're not getting elections again.

The Scala Cinema in that there London's King Cross was a paradise for me. I still have these monthly posters, such a fond memory.

Once again, please, stop posting videos of people taking all the sweets. Nobody cares. If you want to restrict how much they take, sit out there with the bowl. Or don't. We don't care. Just stop posting those bloody videos. Every year. They tooook aaaall the caaaaandy! It's not candy, it's sweets.

LISTEN 🎧: Michael Séance receives a call from a vampire upset at his treatment at the Blood Bank

I love how Milland never enters a room; instead, a door closes, and he’s behind it — or a person steps away, revealing him. Or the camera shifts to one side, and he’s just there — as if evil has been present all along. Farrow knows how to play on your paranoia. #AliasNickBeal #FilmNoirClub

I've had it with the trolls. I rarely get comments anymore but if you have to say something, please be courteous. Thank you.

Now this makes me think they *might* bring the tour to Europe. Maybe. Maybe in the New Year, March, April maybe. That they are adding new cities and rolling into December, gives me hope. I am surprised. Evidently, they did not expect this much demand. #RUSH

Though fairly schlocky and low budget (he fights a stuffed cat), this was such a good shocker. Really brought something new. The re-animated were not zombies, but not whole persons. Went down its own path, nobody followed its style. Innocent Blood was the same, novel but not genre changing.

Preorder availability : If you are unable to visit Essen this year you can preorder some of our games at Aroshop in Germany! Shipping will be after Spiel25. aroshops.com #boardgames #tabletopgames #spiel25 #essen #Essenspiel #spiel2025 #DiverGo #HitsAndOuts #GravityThree #FourCornerDetective

It's astonishingly easy to block roads with just cars*. Much easier than sitting down in the road in front of cars. Much safer too. And harder to prosecute because who knows why your cars are going so slow just now. *also tractors but that's approved.

Wow. I did not expect that. RUSH are extending their tour into December, with all new cities. Which opens up the chance that they will come to the UK and Europe. I really did think they'd stop at a limited 4 night per city tour, but they're really pushing the boat out. Wow.

People don't want to pay £100 to eat cheese on toast in a room with other cheese on toast eaters??? That's wild!!

The lie has outlived its usefulness. The Wright Bros. did not invent the aeroplane. Bell did not invent the telephone. Edison did not invent the lightbulb. And so on and so forth...

Nobody cared a fig to see the Mona Lulu until it got stolen. Then they queued up to look at the empty space. When it was recovered, everyone wanted to see why it was stolen and now it's the most famous Western artwork. Everyone forgets that there's two versions of it too.
