LIFTOFF: SpaceX’s Dragon launches to test its “in-flight abort” system that will protect astronauts in the event of an unexpected incident
Next, the SpaceX rocket and Dragon crew capsule separate in a fiery flash, with the rocket's engines deliberately shutting down to simulate an emergency
SpaceX's Dragon capsule is shown from space, separating from the Falcon 9 rocket, eventually to parachute back to earth
CHUTES UP: SpaceX's Dragon capsule deploys its parachutes, coming down from an altitude of about 27 miles
SPLASHDOWN: SpaceX's Dragon capsule touches down in the Atlantic Ocean to huge applause.

This completes the last test before SpaceX can begin ferrying astronauts between Earth and the International Space Station
This explosion was on purpose...

Watch the moment #SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket and #CrewDragon Dragon spacecraft separate in mid-air to test their ability to eject during an emergency

“The biggest danger is not inaction. The real danger is when politicians and CEOs are making it look like real action.”

Climate activist @GretaThunberg called out world and business leaders for using #COP25 to “negotiate loop holes” instead of acting on climate change
@GretaThunberg “This is not leading. This is misleading.”

@GretaThunberg says pledges by wealthy countries to reduce emissions are misleading because they don’t include the immediate yearly reduction rates needed to stay within the remaining carbon budget
@GretaThunberg Climate activist @GretaThunberg called out business and political leaders at #COP25 for using “clever accounting and creative PR” instead of doing more to combat climate change

Trump is in full stand-up comedian mode for the LSU event
Trump ends LSU event by turning it into a rally: "You got a good [POTUS] now - even though they're trying to impeach the son of a bitch! Can you believe that?... we took out those terrorists like your football team would've taken out those terrorists!"

Players look uncomfortable
Get a load of the faces of Joe Burrow and the players next to him (whose names I don't know) as Trump turns the LSU Tigers White House event into a campaign rally

Bollywood: The location is not Seelampur but Film City, and this man is an extra, and what is dripping from his head is ketchup.
He can't. But you can.
On being asked repeatedly as to what he finds objectionable in the CAA, this man replies: There might be something in there that's problematic, otherwise why are so many out on the streets protesting.

OPEN YOUR EYES. (clip courtesy @LOLiyapa)

Here we go again. #startoftheline #summeroftrains2019 #es9150
You can find my journeys by train in Europe earlier this year here. #springoftrains

You've got to hand it to Eurostar: it takes a lot of self confidence and optimism to claim you have WiFi time and time again despite all evidence to the contrary. We could all learn a thing or two

▶️Why couldn't they be more creative in counter protest? Always calling people who disagree with the Sino-centrsm as 'traitors'. 😩👇😖

💡'hàn jiān' (漢奸) original meaning in Chinese, someone who betrays 'Han' dynasty.

❓Han Dynasty had long gone.

Now, every country knows there're 'thuggish students' from this 'great country,' calling people ' hàn jiān'(Han traitors'

They could've been more creative.

Counter protest in Paris, France, 2019 to #support Hong Kong rally.

Venezuela has emerged from the US attacks on its electrical system.
By @MaxBlumenthal
Terrible news for Little @marcorubio @AmbJohnBolton & Guadio’s gang, but great news for the people of Caracas:

The city’s free Metro system is coming back on line as Venezuela recovers from its curiously timed electricity outages.
