‘Fool’s Gold’ may be valuable after all
We used to make fun of Fool's Gold. Now, it might fuel the future.

Fool's gold or #iron-pyrite — a common mineral that resembles its precious counterpart — may be more valuable than scientists originally thought, as it has been found to be abundant in #lithium.

Lithium is vital to the future development of green energy. This is because the material, which is highly reactive, is a key element in batteries — including of the kind used in electric vehicles (hence the name, lithium ion batteries).

Due to this, demand for lithium is soaring. The precious resource can be extracted from brines — and also mined in select locations including #Argentina, #Australia, #Bolivia, #Chile and #China. But scientists have now found it in an apparently undervalued #mineral.

The strange discovery was made after a team of researchers from West Virginia University set out to see whether lithium could be extracted with alternative industrial operations.

They found an abundance of lithium in the pyrite minerals in shale — a sedimentary rock made from mud.

Ukrainian survivor of Russian torture files legal complaint in #Argentina

A Ukrainian man has filed a criminal complaint to Argentina's Federal Judiciary against the Russian occupying forces who tortured him, The Reckoning Project (TRP), an international NGO that works to bring war crime cases to court, announced on April 16.

Argentina's constitution allows for trials on "international crimes, including crimes against humanity and #WarCrimes, irrespective of where they took place," on the basis of universal jurisdiction, TRP said in a press release.

Though this case is the first time a #Ukrainian #torture complaint has been filed in Argentina, Mr M said that he is "one of so many cases."

Apartheid child Elon Musk is using Twitter to push for regime change in Brazil with backing of fascist president of Argentina and the criminal gang of former president.

All in the name of "democracy" and fight against "censorship" on a platform that bans anyone supporting Palestinians and exposes the war crimes of Israeli genocidal regime.

#Argentina's fascist president Milei decides to close more than 50 public centers due to low productivity: "they have become political shelters"

➡️ The government of Argentina has decided to close 59 public centers that provided assistance in social services, resulting in the dismissal of 600 employees. The Ministry of Human Capital released a statement indicating that the reference centers to be closed were linked to the former Ministry of Social Development.

➡️ President Javier #Milei's government stated that these sectors function as "political boxes and shelters" for workers who are paid without providing services, and mentioned that their closure will save 5 billion pesos per year for public finances.

💬 Authorities stated that these locations "receive few consultations per day, in most cases do not resolve procedures, and only refer people to another agency" and "are the clearest image of state bureaucracy."

I'll bet those are the last helicopters that Russia sells to Argentina, tho.

Argentina has transferred two military helicopters to Ukraine, which were previously ordered from Russia. The helicopters are Mi-17 in an arctic modification. This move is seen as part of Argentina's shift towards alliances with "countries that defend freedom," such as the US, Israel, and now Ukraine. #Argentina #Ukraine

Lancaster, Pa., 18th June, 1903.
Dear Sir: — We of the United States, in justice to Canadians and Mexicans, have no right to use the title "Americans" when referring to matters pertaining exclusively to ourselves. Every day is keenly felt the want of a correct name for our great, grand, glorious, independent country. #usonia #jamesdufflaw #usa #vsa #estadosunidos #étatsunis #canada #mexico #americalatina #brasil #argentina #america #american #gringo #yanqui #yankee ">

I believe I am familiar with all the suggestions that have been made in this direction from time to time, and have been inclined to give my vote to the writer that first suggested "Usona" which is formed from the initials of "United States of North America". The assonance of "Usonans", however, has always been distasteful, and nothing better could be made from the first appelation strictly following the constructive genius of our language.

A much more euphonious word is "Usonia", and as it represents in a similar way the "United States of Northern Independent America" (a most important qualifying and accurately descriptive adjective being added) I am inclined to think it makes a perfect word and a dignified name to designate our land, our people and our nation — "Usonia", "Usonian" and "Usonians" sounding equally well. It has also to us Scots the added merit of making a good rhyme to Caledonia, and thus knitting more closely together both Usonians and Caledonians.

May I ask what might be done to exploit such a suggestion, and how could such words be adopted and used popularly, literarily, officially, Usonially and universally?

Respectfully yours,

James D. Law
