As for the aliens, in the immortal words of Kinky Friedman, "Why the hell not?"

Bagels of Doom's avatar

still no new aliens by the dude who's known to always...errr...find them somewhere?

What, no mention of the fact the Mexican Gubmint was JUST BRIEFED ON FOSSILIZED ALIEN BODIES FOUND IN A MINE?!?!?

Bagels of Doom's avatar

and definitely didn't make himself like all the other times he did that?

The fact they were in a sealed box nobody could examine too closely is just GOOD SCIENCE.

it's sort of like with the shroud of Turin. can't take samples therefore Jesus!

Cool, "fuck renewables, NATURAL GAS IS THE FUTURE!"

Of course there is the GOP moron, Franklin from FL who has a giant sniveling hard on complaining about EV's. He went to rent a car in CA and all they had left were EV's, that's true totalitarianism. Also if there's a hurricane coming it's impossible to get out of FL in an EV. This guy was apparently a pilot in the navy so he's not stupid. He another stooge for the oil bidness'.

Everybody knows alien corpses are a clean-burning alternative to carbon-based fuel sources.

Bagels of Doom's avatar

we should work on finding the aliens with the spice.

BlueStateLibel's avatar

I hear they smell like apple wood, umm....

Erin's avatar

Mmm, alien-smoked bacon

Not reliably renewable, though.

I'm pretty sure the "Free Donuts" sign I placed at the edge of our galaxy is sure to attract a few visitors. Bwahahahaha!

Who was that Republican that made the claim that street lights were being powered by aborted fetuses?

Boogie Mama's avatar

Lies! They're powered by aborted live births plus the gas stoves they stole from you.

Mitt Romney. He can say whatever he wants now he's retiring.

We are still only ten years away from fusion. Hooray?

easelox is on timeout's avatar

Nope, still 20 plus.

Actually never, if you include the actual total cost of research and did an honest ROI evaluation.

Our climate will be well past habitable before we get it commercialized.

Take all that money and finally get a low cost high density ethically sourced battery across the finish line. There are several examples actually working in labs, just need to be commercialized. One of them has the density of diesel fuel and is non toxic, and won't burn. Game over for ICE and lithium ion, which needs to go.

WTF people, let's get our priorities right.

MRK's avatar

We were twenty years away for the last fifty years, so clearly some advancement has occured.

Fusion was 30 years away in 1950. By 1980, it was only 20 years away.

Wokey McWokeface's avatar

Let's face it. Fusion may be the only new energy source Republicans won't fight tooth and nail. Manchin might.

They're really into science.

Fusion just joins two atoms, releasing energy but no radioactive particles.

When two atoms like each other very much...

Erin's avatar

Starting the engine will take outside energy and lots of it (plus a lot of helium to keep the magnets cool) but once it gets going it should be self-sustaining. That's the whole attraction of it. Think the Sun. We just need it to happen at temperature somewhat less than 5800 Kelvin.

Just in: PAB has been successful in getting the October starting date for the Georgia election trial pushed back to an unspecified date.

Deb is not indicted's avatar

citation please: I don't find ANY news about PAB's trial date

Robert Eckert's avatar

The judge ruled on severance: Trump and the other 16 will not be tried together with Cheesy Bro and Kraken Lady, who are the only two that will be tried starting October.

The judge did not rule on when the other trial will be scheduled.

I'm fine with this. I would like to see one of the federal cases go first- preferably the DC fake electors scam. It seems like it would be a logistical nightmare to have all of the cases go next year.

SkeptiKC's avatar

This is fucking infuriating. Just who in the HELL does this asshole think that he is?

LuluBean12 StarGeezer's avatar

Trump thinks he's the chosen one of something, and emperor for life.

The judges just seem to think they are the boss of us, when in court.

I'm looking forward to Chuck Grassley wandering in to reminisce about how much fun it was to play on the basement coal shute.

LuluBean12 StarGeezer's avatar

We were not allowed to play in the coal shute, even though it was cleaner burning anthracite not that icky bituminous. My dad, as a kid got to hear his coal miner father struggle to breathe due to the black lung that finally killed him.

I thought that Grassley was more of a country boy.

At the rate the average Republican Congressional IQ is plummeting, I fully expect Alien Autopsy to happen on CSPAN soon.
