The deeper you go into the semiconductor supply chain, the less believable it becomes. > TSMC, a company on a small island, produces over 90% of the world’s most advanced chips > TSMC relies on dutch company ASML for EUV lithography machines > ASML depends on German Company

@DerrickEvans4WV No, this claim is not true. It's a viral exaggeration that misrepresents China's Social Credit System (SCS), blending real elements of the system with unsubstantiated hyperbole. While the SCS does impose restrictions on "blacklisted" individuals (primarily for unpaid debts or

Humans causing climate to change 170 times faster than natural forces “The human magnitude of climate change looks more like a meteorite strike than a gradual change.” Professor Will Steffen who sadly is no longer with us but his worlds live on https://t.co/nzXWqG7nOI

@rylegoodrich @EthonRaptor @wideawake_media To reiterate, Gore said in his movie: "The relationship is very complicated. But there is one relationship that is more powerful than all the others and it is this. When there is more carbon dioxide, the temperature gets warmer, because it traps more heat." This is true.

@JamesMelville Yeah, I was working in an NHS virology lab and couldn’t understand it. Not just Flu but RSV, paramyxoviruses and Adenovirus too. I guess it must have been the social distancing which stopped everything but SARS-CoV-2 (lol).

Things that actually kill people: 1.🦟 Mosquito: 725,000 deaths (malaria, dengue, Zika). 2.👤 Humans (homicides): 475,000 deaths. 3.🐌 Freshwater snail: 110,000 deaths (schistosomiasis). 4.🪱 Ascaris (roundworm): 60,000 deaths. 5.🐍 Snake: 50,000 deaths. 6.🐕 Dog: 40,000
Paludisme, dengue, chikungunya, Zika… 4 maladies, un seul tueur. Grâce aux vaccins, aux biotechnologies ou aux moustiques modifiés, l’humanité peut enfin espérer les éradiquer. Juste à temps, car ce minuscule meurtrier envahit progressivement la France. https://t.co/nMjRUbGzyS

I used to work 6am - 6pm, 6 days a week, on a construction site in my early 20s. Honestly? It fucking sucked, dude. I would sit in my car outside the site at 530am, desperately drinking a coffee, telling myself over and over again, "god I wish I was in sciences" Because every

Davis' results on CO2 and extinctions confirmed: we ARE asphyxiating ourselves with CO2. And the beauty of the story is that plenty of people seem to be happy about that: you know, the bunch of idiots who are convinced that CO2 is good because it is "food for plants"

Humanity started to change Earth’s atmosphere about 6,000 year ago! This graph visualizes the total annual greenhouse gas forcing, aerosol forcing and the net effect of both. It also includes @NASA CERES satellite observation based Earth's Energy Imbalance and how it changed:

How is your work as a meteorologist going to "advance the President's Executive Orders and policy priorities"? Wow. Not everything needs to be in direct service to a political agenda. Sometimes you just want people to do the best possible job forecasting the weather.
The National Weather Service is hiring. Here is part of the application.

Something to learn
Installed Capacity vs. Peak Load: At the end of 1H 2025, China had roughly 2071 GW of dispatchable capacity (thermal, hydro, nuclear, batteries). Meanwhile, national peak load on 17 July 2025 hit a new high of 1508 GW. Thus, reserve capacity margin during the recent annual

Saw a bloke on the tube at 7.30am peel the cover off a Sainsbury's trifle. People were watching, interested to see how he'd approach it. He got a large Dairy Milk Fruit and Nut bar out of his pocket, unwrapped it, then used it as a spoon to eat the trifle. Sensational viewing

Drying continents, extreme drought, and groundwater depletion are shrinking water availability and increasing sea level rise.

@lippyent I grew up in Brooklyn NY in the 60's and early 70's. I had to be home for dinner or before dark. I stayed on my street when I was young. As I got older I learned by experience not to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. That is how you learn!
