Maybe they can focus on his govt creating a cost of living crisis... or shoving migrants off to "safe" Rwanda for processing... or... his hair?

2022-04-17 23:00:46 Scientists Say Life on Earth Began Way BEFORE We Thought

A mysterious, complex plant-like structure has been found inside a fist-sized rock in Canada, estimated to be between 3.75 and 4.28 billion years old.

Once a part of the seafloor, it contained a stem with parallel branches on one side which are nearly a centimeter (half-inch) long.

The discovery means “life could have begun as little as 300 million years after Earth formed. In geological terms, this is quick – about one spin of the Sun around the galaxy,” the lead author of the study said.

Wonder if gas prices were less than $4 a gallon 300 million years ago…

2022-04-17 21:01:35 Nestle, Pepsi & Oreo-Maker Facing Increasing Pressure from Employees to Get Out of Russia

A small fraction of European workers are threatening to quit or boycott companies like Nestle for continuing to do business in Russia.

Mondelez, the company behind Oreo Cookies, has received a petition signed by roughly 130 employees from the Baltic states to cut all ties there.

The activism comes as Ukraine has repeatedly appealed to Western companies to cut all commercial ties with Russia, with the mayor of Kyiv calling funds earned there, “blood money.”

Surely, Russia won’t make it without cookies.
