In July 1977, a senior scientist of Exxon, James Black reported to the company's executives that there was a general scientific agreement at that time that the burning of fossil fuels was the most likely manner in which mankind was influencing global climate change.

Exxon's research confirming the existence of manmade climate change is almost as old as you are.

how many players are using an adblocker enough to make an impact?

Given the context in which Modrinth was created, it's likely that their userbase is significantly more likely than average to use adblockers.

“Today is a good day for [the] EPP. We won the European elections, my friends. We are the strongest party, we are the anchor of stability … Together with others we will build a bastion against the extremes from the left and from the right. We will stop them!”

Staking out its ground in the culture war over the EU’s identity, the EPP opened its EU election manifesto with its commitment to Europe’s “Judeo-Christian roots.”

Saying that you're "building a bastion against the extreme right" and then immediately following up with a Christofascist dogwhistle, very cool.

Not pictured: the fact that there are actually 95 and 100 people on the tracks and that the Democrats helped sabotage any other tracks at every juncture.

• Unending Journal seems like one of the best since the text implies that you can draw anything you see into the journal with your mind, which is basically instant memorization.
• Word after Word + Orchard lets you read any book in any language at double speed.
• Heirloom seems useful at first but is pretty inconvenient to access between the 10-second countdown and having to avoid getting caught vanishing. I don't know if there is enough stuff I would want to keep to make it worth it.

He regularly supports antisemitic conspiracy theories (most notably stuff about Soros and the "Great Replacement") on his website while also parroting the bad-faith accusations of antisemitism against pro-Palestinian activists (and he has also made a trip to Israel to rehabilitate his image aided by several pro-Israel figures).

The funny thing is that it's relatively agreed-upon amongst economists that the point on the Laffer curve that maximizes tax revenue is ~70% for the highest earners. American conservatives bring it up to "prove" why raising taxes doesn't work but even under their own framework it basically says that rich people don't pay enough tax.

Given that the protest in the image took place in London, I'm assuming he's trying to paint them as "disloyal" to Britain.

(Not so) fun fact, there are several US states which prohibit the direct sale of unpasteurized milk, but allow the owner to drink milk from the cow, so they exploit the loophole by having buyers purchase a fractional share of the cow so that they can drink the milk.

It's amazing how "state's rights" people can almost recognize that the USA, as a settler-colony, requires the use of violence to enforce its borders and laws, but then thinks that magically stops being true when you call it a "state government" instead of a "federal government".

The Democratic Party has spent more effort in the past few months to shut down/censor left-wing and pro-Palestine activism than they have in the past 10 years to shut down/censor right-wing rhetoric that promotes hatred of migrants, Muslims, LGBT people, "globalists" (which basically just means imaginary Jewish conspirators), etc; never mind that the latter has lead to actual murders against all aforementioned groups. Why should we believe them when they've thoroughly proven that they're far more interested in wielding power against the left than against the Republicans they were supposedly elected to fight?

Can you imagine how many liberals would gasp at the incivility if you asked them to disinvite all of their Republican family members from a wedding? Never mind the fact that are far more people who can claim to have been harmed by the Republican party than the pro-Palestine movement.
