Tire Dust Makes Up the Majority of Ocean Microplastics
Earth was asking for it by allowing us to evolve,
In the immortal words of Saint George Carlin
The Earth is fine. The PEOPLE are fucked.
Nah, we'll be fine. I mean probably 6-7 billion people will die, but that just means we are back to 1804, which is hardly any regression. Shit, that just means we will have lost the amount of folks that lived and died between about 500-1804, which is barely anyone according to the WEF.
Everything in this title makes me want to ride an atom bomb down through the stratosphere like a mechanical bull

I thought we already had bombs that made Fatman and Little Boy look like fire crackers. Learn something new every day.

We absolutely do. This hypothetical new one won't be the biggest thing in our arsenal.
This shit is an absolute fucking disaster and nobody should support it, or any politician who helped get us here. These are the worst possible decisions any authority figure could make.

If Dune: Part Two doesn't do well in theaters on opening weekend (< $100 million) AND metacritic comments are overwheliminly negative - I'm going to have myself committed, because it's going to be hard not to grab something sharp and jab it into my neck repeatedly.

I thought the first one was gorgeous, but not particularly good. Momoa didn't sell his part at all, just seems like a chunky dude who stopped lifting weights, not some sort of killing machine. Zendayas acting ability consists of squinting while making a face that dares you to call her out on the silent egg-sizzler fart she just cut. Chalamets performance was so meh that he doesn't even deserve an insult, he's so unremarkable that it would be like insulting the flavor of a glass of water that sat on the counter all day. Fun effects, though, even if the shields were more lame than FDR at a 5 Finger Death Punch concert.

The model is a massive part of the AI-ecosystem, used by Stable Diffusion and other major generative AI products. The removal follows discoveries made by Stanford researchers, who found thousands instances of suspected child sexual abuse material in the dataset.
