"Sodium is nearly 50 times cheaper than lithium and can even be harvested from seawater, making it a much more sustainable option for large-scale energy storage”
Previously, I posted that Na-ion batteries were likely to reach Li-ion battery energy density faster due to the prior advances and experience from Lithium work. Well, that’s appears to be the case. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋 www.uh.edu/news-events/...

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:
"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

Today I learned that Russia is using HORSES on its front lines with Ukraine essentially time traveling back to 1917. In my country the US excuse for a president wants to take us back to the 1940/50s when white men reigned supreme. Putin&Trump are feeling nostalgic&we all must suffer their delusions.

Can we just jump to the step where we all agree there’s nothing left to watch b/c some idiot or mega-ego is in charge and all that’s available are our dvds & books & magazines, & calling friends and going to live theater or clubs & we, at least once a week, go out and just stare at nature.

Bari Weiss is the logical endpoint of corporate media. This is what happens when people who hate journalism are in charge of it. The only way journalism works is when it’s independent from the power it’s supposed to hold to account, which means ownership can’t have anything to do with those in power

This is the worst case scenario that everybody was worried about
It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.
It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.
And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).
