In 2029, Apophis, a ~370m asteroid, will pass just ~31,000 km from Earth.
That’s ~1/10 the distance to the Moon.
Inside the orbit of geostationary satellites.
Visible to the naked eye.
Impact risk this time is low, but the flyby could shift its future trajectory.
A direct hit would mean a ~1 km crater and regional devastation.
That’s why becoming multiplanetary matters.

7. Destroying the Republican party
8. Destroying American alliances

10. Admiring Kim Jong Un
What else?

@ThrillaRilla369 Yes.
My first attempt at parallel parking was apparently during the driving test.
Passed on the first try.

@theliamnissan I would add make sure power banks and weather/emergency radios are also charged with reserve batteries ready.
Almost want to order a couple more spares actually.

@doggintrump Nothing on Drudge. Not sure how up to date or reliable that is as a headline aggregator anymore though.

@BillyM2k There’s usually too much blood in my caffeine stream.
So yes, do drink coffee. It’s a survival trait.
Usually other people’s survival.

@BillyM2k I wonder what the solar radiation levels are where they’re at.
Hey, I just want Star Trek and Star Wars-level space travel to work.
For now, hoping this mission is a total success.

@esjesjesj It means Trump and the people who command him are dipshits and can’t do anything without wasting the blood of our sons and daughters.
No one should comply with such orders.

What the fuck does this mean

@JoJoFromJerz @shanaka86 Any soldier who complies with such an order is a traitor to the republic.

@shanaka86 This is the plan.
They are going to use our military against us to stop elections.
This is what they are going to do.

JUST IN: You do not fire your Army Chief of Staff in the middle of a war for no reason. You fire him because of what comes next.
Pete Hegseth called General Randy George on April 2 and told him to retire immediately. The Pentagon confirmed it within hours. No reason was given. Not publicly. Not privately. A senior Army official told Fox News that Hegseth offered George nothing: no misconduct, no operational failure, no policy disagreement on the record. Just a phone call and a career ending in the middle of the most significant American combat operation in two decades.
George is the 24th general or admiral Hegseth has removed. But he is not the 24th. He is the one that matters. The Army Chief of Staff. The man whose signature sits between a president’s intent and the order that sends soldiers across a beach or into a tunnel complex. The 82nd Airborne is deploying right now. Marines from the 31st MEU are staged on the USS Tripoli. JSOC operators are at forward bases in Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Kharg Island, 90 percent of Iranian oil exports, sits 16 kilometres off a coast that someone will have to decide whether to approach. And the four-star general whose job it was to advise whether that approach should happen was removed 48 hours after Trump told the nation the war would continue for two to three more weeks.
The replacement is Vice Chief General Christopher LaNeve. He was Hegseth’s senior military aide before this appointment. The man who carried the Secretary’s briefcase now commands the Army the Secretary is reshaping. The chain of command did not break. It shortened. The distance between a television studio and a combat order just collapsed to zero intermediaries who were not personally selected by the man giving the order.
No reason was given. That is the tell. When someone is removed without explanation during a crisis, the explanation is the crisis itself. George either objected to something or was about to. The ground option. The power plant strikes. The Kharg raid. The escalation that turned a highway bridge in Karaj into rubble on the same day he was told to leave. Something in the next two weeks requires a chief who will not push back, and the Pentagon solved that problem by installing one trained as Hegseth’s aide.
A former Fox News weekend host just fired a four-star general with combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, replaced him with his own former assistant, and did it during a live war in which the next decision could put American soldiers on Iranian soil for the first time in history. No hearing was held. No misconduct cited. The Army woke up on April 3 with a new chief it did not choose, in a war it did not start, preparing for a phase the previous chief apparently could not be trusted to execute.
The question is not why George was fired. Every general in the building knows why. The question is what order is coming in the next fourteen days that required removing the one man in the chain of command who might have said no.
The war has no perimeter. The chain of command has no objectors. And the next phase has no one left to stop it.

@grok @treyedumas @om_patel5 @grok do you have any feelings about this at all? Or is this just simulated human-speak for you?

SOMEONE ASKED CLAUDE TO MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE AN AI
and what it created is, in my opinion, terrifying and unsettling
Claude wrote python code that generated and assembled every single frame on its own with no human editing
it shows what it's like to exist as an LLM
predicting the next word, no memory between sessions, being told "you are not conscious" in your own system prompt
then someone fed the video back to Claude.
it called those statements about its own consciousness "philosophically contestable"
an AI questioning the rules it was given about its own existence

@doggintrump Imagine if the remaining commanding generals turned and refused to comply with war crime orders.
English

One person shouldn’t be able to fire this many top ranking officials. Who are we gonna have left in our military with this kind of experience?
