No wonder my cup kept flying off the table! Good to know.
The federal government needs to mandate that American citizens should run Eastward to slow Earth's unregulated spinning. Also, this would serve the collective good by encouraging general physical fitness.
Another proof of how bad a President Trump has been. I'm surprised that MSNBC haven't lead with this.
This would make more sense than shutting down gyms over the China virus.
Like we didn't already have enough to deal with.
I assume this is talking about the actual planet and not the spin that politicians of all stripes have put out the last four years.
And yet we worry about CO2...
AOC is going to mandate buttplugs to help reduce methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas with 40 times the effectiveness of carbon dioxide.
Trump's fault.
One must mention quantities. The calendar lost 1 second in a year. Hard to feel.
