Evolution and natural selection never stops, we've only changed what the selective pressures are.

You have a strange definition of fascism. I've poked around in those instances to see what the fuss is about. They're super far left and very much ideologically opposed to fascism. They're something weird, but they're definitely not fascists.

How is a microchip edible? Big as a sand grain? How does it work? How long has this tech existed? How many microchips have I eaten? Do they stop working if I eat them?

It's just a ship dropping out of warp a safe distance from our system. While inconvenient, it's considered best practice to drop out well away from the system's center to shed the particles you've accumulated in your warp bubble during transit. They are extremely energetic and can cause immense damage if released irresponsibly close to an inhabited planet. This is especially true when visiting a primitive world that hasn't set up any sensible warp safety systems.

And if that isn't enough, here's why the US congress bends over backwards to give Israel whatever it wishes: https://theintercept.com/2023/11/03/deconstructed-israel-aipac-squad-primary/

tl;dl: If a politician says something critical of Israel, pro-Israel lobbying groups will fund their opponents' campaigns

I don't know why y'all are arguing about fruit. I have a hunch that there's some fructose in high fructose corn syrup, which is in just about every processed sweet tasting thing made in the USA. That's probably contributing to obesity a bit more than peaches, ffs.

"So they told me that, according to the most advanced theories and techniques in every field, based on extensive theoretical research and experimentation, through analysis and comparison of multiple proposals, they did find a way to preserve information for about one hundred million years. And they emphasized that this was the only method known to be practicable: carving words into stone"

Honest question:

If they're bulldozing lodgings and putting up apartments instead of building new single family dwellings, isn't that helping the housing crisis by supplying higher density housing? Like you can house more people with less land?

The problem the tweet is pointing out is that research scientists are mostly concerned about getting and keeping funding since their jobs and the jobs of those working for them depend on it. Thus they'll target research questions that are deemed sexy by those in control of the funds. This can lead to a few areas being over-researched and other worthy areas of inquiry being underfunded. Plus that over-researched work can be of questionable quality and importance since a lot of less-good scientists get funded due to the overabundance of funds.
