Seawater split to make hydrogen. University of Adelaide has been able to do this for a small sample and hope to make it larger for an actual use.

World War 1 game made by C&C Remastered team looks awesome.
Propaganda
Why we have nothing to fear about decolonizing Mathematics.
House judiciary committee summon documents and witnesses for hearing on parents being investigated as terrorists by various government organization. The NYT says it didn't happen, but if it did, it was a good thing because these parents were obviously evil.
Don't say gay' is now part of blood drive mottos. If they don't mention they're gay, don't ask how often they have sex. Yes really.
I had heard about the game, but I didnt know that was the devs behind it. I just recently saw PartyElite talking about it since he got an early access copy of it from the devs, and he had high praise of it. If it does even half of the stuff that they talked about it will be a game I play for ages.
I also thought it was pretty novel how the devs created a way to have the pointless battles of the war and have it be entirely organic about it happening (instead of forced by code).
EDIT: also, that is good news with the hydrogen creation. Between that and the recent breakthrough with fusion, it is stuff like that why I am still optimistic about the future and believe we will return to a time of sanity (outside of a few major places that have always been fucked up if you actually look at history).
The game looks very promising.
I hope the hydrogen idea can get out of academia quickly. They have a bad habit of holding onto tech, but not knowing what to do with it.
