Time	Event
12:00p	(Satire) Museum returns fire exhibit (satire) *British Science Museum Forced To Return Fire Exhibit Originally Plundered From The Gods.* (Comment on this)
12:00p	PFAS research efforts Research suggests PFAS are absorbed significantly through human skin. (Comment on this)
12:00p	Presidential debate analysis *Biden's agonizing debate performance doesn’t change the reality of this election.* The biggest question is whether the mob of liars and wreckers led by the corrupter will win and impose authoritarian, plutocratist rule on the US, and persecute his enemies.

12:00p	COP29 territory journalist-hostile, AZE Some journalists were arbitrarily excluded from an "energy industry" conference in Azerbaijan, one of the preparations for the COP29 climate defense discussion. The event last year was in Dubai, and was headed by the country's oil minister, who seems to have ensured it made no progress towards achieving its mission. (Comment on this)
