@TXsharon The US EPA came out with new methane rules today.
The detailed rules are here:

Notable it appears to allow super-emitter notifications from sources other than satellites:
"The method used during by the notifier to quantify the emissions (satellite detection;
remote-sensing equipment on aircraft; mobile monitoring platform; other, specify; or unknown)."

Viral Leftist Twitter account, Erica Marsh, who made liberals look like idiots, has been suspended and is believed not to be a real person.
She claimed to be a Biden campaign field organizer and had worked at the Obama Foundation. Both Biden and Obama teams deny knowledge of her.
The account often posted bizarre rage-baiting 'progressive' tweets that led to counter tweets from the far right and used against progressives.

27 documents in his office
Of those
6 Top Secret
18 Secret
3 Confidential
75 documents in a storage room
Of those
11 Top Secret
36 Secret

Yet Trump is free to roam.
This stochastic terrorist posted Obama’s address and directed his minions against his enemies
Two justice systems.

On Dec 20, 1777, the Kingdom of Morocco became the world's first country to recognize U.S. independence. Sultan Mohammed III ordered Moroccan ports to open to American ships & an alliance was built.
Some ignorantly claim that Islam & Muslims are incompatible with America. In truth, America's longest global alliance is with Muslim majority Morocco.
So this July 4th—recognize that America’s greatness is as a secular nation that celebrates people of all faiths & no faith on the tenets of justice.

"Be American
"Don't politicize the court, my ass."
"In addition to setting the size of the Supreme Court, Congress also determines the time and place of the Court’s sessions. Congress once exercised that power to change the Court’s term to forestall a constitutional attack on the repeal of the Judiciary Act of 1801, with the result that the Court did not convene for fourteen months."

I'm still pissed at myself for not being in the streets when Mitch McConnell refused to move forward with Merrick Garland's nomination and Amy Coney Barrett's was rushed through.

'He Is Toast': Former U.S. Attorney Says Trump Has Just 1 'Strange' Option Left

At times it seems like I have to remind myself this is my favorite country, I’m so busy pinging on it,
Yet, during a recent reunion with some Hispanic friends, they revealed they had voted for #Trump. Their motivation? Never mind his dark essence and all the damage, he was good-for-their-business. It was a quick exchange, then we moved on, or ruin the day. I realized we collectively reap what we sew for whatever selfish motivations, realistic or bullshit. 😪
@TIME Maybe there is something to this end times blather. It’s late, about as snappy as I can get. 🥸
@Hey_Beth A valid sentiment that we should expect all of our leadership to say, mean, and strive for. I’ll stop there instead of segwaying into my normal accurate rants about everything wrong with the GOP. 😇
@shoq @sellitman Agreed, so you have to wade though it, or miss most of it, but if there is an advantage, it is chance discovery. 😛

@Huntn00 @sellitman I have argued for years that groups, threads and forums should and would be the core of the fediverse. The entire streaming id model the world is addicted to was always stupid. Like your analogy, mine is “who goes to a party expecting to have to listen to everything every guest has to say?” It was invented by engineers. It was always absurd.
@shoq @sellitman The hard part, it is social media like being in a hundred room mansion full of people and have a conversation in a closet with a few of them, hard to track the big picture. The good news is that everyone is in the same boat, but connected. Just live on it and maybe you’ll hear it all, but won’t remember but a fraction of it. I resist that (living on it), but make appearances. 🙃 A forum structure is more organized, but not as dynamic.

All true, but they couldn’t use that cop-out if Mastodon had not spent years not building things that many, including me, said it would need to ever go mainstream. It’s not that it’s hard. It’s that it’s awkward in too many important areas that users now expect, and have still not been improved. Only promised. And users typically tire of unfulfilled promises.

Extreme water recycling is a process that turns wastewater into drinking water using advanced technologies. It is already practiced in places where water scarcity is a serious issue, such as Singapore and Namibia. It could become more widespread as climate change and population growth increase the demand for fresh water.
