  • Families condemn Koch brothers over ploy to avoid asbestos compensation

    Jump

  • Why is this article (almost completely) written like there are multiple brothers at this point? One has been dead for 4 and a half years.

  • The Senate just voted 72-11 to kill Sanders resolution to have the State Department report Israel's human rights abuses against Palestinians

  • I think you underestimate some of those things. People know about the stuff you listed and they still want him.

    But...that's what they said

  • Nobody can stop Israel's war, including the world court, PM Benjamin Netanyahu says

    Jump

  • They've been sanctioned, but not to hell and back. They've had minimal real consequences.

    Russian invasion of Ukraine and no significant consequences was one of the most recent examples.

  • Biden says US does not support Taiwan’s independence following election

    Jump

  • Not really a good comparison.

    If American Samoa had been an independent country for the last 75 years, operating pretty much completely independently, had 23 million people, and other people were saying "we recognize that it has been independent for decades at this point" then it'd be comparable.

    Jump

  • It's like it in that this is true, but there's a big, big, big difference in how big a deal a given amount being in our systems is.

  • Bottled water contains 100 times more plastic nanoparticles than previously thought

    Jump

  • You're talking like .01% as much plastic use per liter as plastic bottle water packs. Is that not....much much better?

  • Bottled water contains 100 times more plastic nanoparticles than previously thought

    Jump

  • But the filters introduce way way fewer.plastics...?

  • Best filter is to not have them in the first place

  • Bottled water contains 100 times more plastic nanoparticles than previously thought

    Jump

  • Yet another reason to quit buying so much bottled water

  • It sure looks like Donald Trump was disguised as 'Doe 174' in the newly unsealed Jeffrey Epstein documents

    Jump

  • It's not a "surprise" not did anyone say it was. It justnt clear before WHICH person in the docs Trump was. Now it is.

    Edit here: https://youtu.be/pIsVB-H_M_8?feature=shared

    The most relevant part starts around 4:22 but the whole thing is good (well, up until the YouTuber jumps in with his take, which fortunately is after the CNN segment)
