It appears that Elon Musk's Starlink satellites are falling out of orbit at a rate of 120 per month, each releasing 30 kilograms of aluminum oxide that depletes the ozone layer. The concentration of these oxides in the atmosphere has increased eightfold since 2016.

Apparently, Russia seized half of America faster than it did one-fifth of Ukraine. Selenskyj was made a fool of in the Oval Office as part of a staged spectacle intended to give Trump an excuse to abandon Ukraine and blame Selenskyj, which is why TASS was there live, while Reuters or AP were not.

According to the EU's Copernicus Programme, January 2025 was globally the warmest January on record with a 13.23°C average temperature, measuring 1.75°C above pre-industrial levels. Most remarkable: this record warmth occurred during La Niña conditions, which typically provide a cooling effect (1/4)

It’s time for THE charger.
Today, the USB-C becomes officially the common standard for charging new mobile electronic devices in the EU.
It means better-charging technology, reduced e-waste, and less fuss to find the chargers you need!

To summarize this whole inhumanity: Russia once again shot down a civilian aircraft and afterwards denied it emergency landing on Russian soil. Additionally, it jammed the GPS in the area and diverted the plane to Kazakhstan - hoping it would crash into the Caspian Sea to erase all evidence
