There are two surprising canyons on the Moon, measuring hundreds of kilometers long and even deeper than the Grand Canyon on Earth. While Earth's canyons can form through water erosion, that's not possible on the Moon. Instead, scientists think that they were caused by a giant impact on the Moon 3.81 billion years ago, cracking open the landscape in less than 10 minutes. The debris blanket covers part of the south polar region where Artemis missions are headed.

if you're responsible for a FOSS project, it's now time to consider how you can run your project without relying on the US.
like, using GitHub is fine. Continue using it - I do, too, and there's a lot of value of having projects centralized in one place.
but you **need** to make sure you have a contingency plan. is your repo with all branches and metadata backed up somewhere else? do you own your project's website, discussion forums, or something else that allows you to point your users and contributors to a new place if you need to?
can you continue work on your project if US-big-tech decides your very existence is no longer allowed?
now is the time to take inventory and build backups.
“Every single empire in its official discourse has said that it is not like all the others, that its circumstances are special, that it has a mission to enlighten, civilize, bring order and democracy, and that it uses force only as a last resort. And, sadder still, there always is a chorus of willing intellectuals to say calming words about benign or altruistic empires, as if one shouldn’t trust the evidence of one’s eyes watching the destruction and the misery and death brought by the latest mission civilizatrice.”

Elon Musk’s Power Grab Is Lawless, Dangerous, and—Yes—a Coup

Zehn Tote nach Schießerei: Traumatische Stunden in Schweden
Es waren Stunden der Ungewissheit und Angst, bis in Schweden das schreckliche Ausmaß der Schüsse klar wurde: Mindestens zehn Tote. Menschen verharrten am und um den Tatort in Panik, bangten um ihr Leben. Von J. Wäschenbach.
"Er habe nach ersten Erkenntnissen keine Verbindungen zu kriminellen Banden. Auch ein Terrormotiv vermutet die Polizei nicht."
Das soll wohl auf schwedisch "kein Migrationshintergrund" heißen.

Agenda Setting
Das Phänomen, dass ein Thema binnen kürzester Frist durch einen oder wenige auf die TO gesetzt werden kann, es unwidersprochen als wichtigstes Thema betrachtet wird und alle sich ausschließlich zu dem Thema äußern, als sei es wirklich relevant und existent.

But this is interesting in that this one has actually responded to some evidence. 🤔
Sure, there's a "chemicals aren't real" person for every realisation, but it's interesting to see.
Billions on security systems, and they just let these bozos walk in just because their boss is rich? Musk is not exempt. Neither is trump for that matter. The rest of the world sitting here scratching our heads, like wth is going on? Does trump think we're supposed to take him seriously after this? After threatening tariffs, threatening to annex Mexico, Canada and Greenland, and maybe Gaza now too. Good spot for another trump hotel and casino complex.
Is there a BDSM group that includes sex robots and robot handlers? Because I think that’s the group I’m in.
I’m not into a dom who wants to control what I do, how I act, what I say. But most of dom seems to be that. I don’t want a dom that wants to make me think or act a certain way.
What I want is a dom who decides WHEN I can think. I want someone to be able to flip a switch on the back of my neck and say “no more thinking, toy.”
I want a dom who will just randomly shut my brain off and switch me into Fucktoy mode at random times. Who will just turn off all cognitive processes and say “you’re a dumb slut now” and like make my brain go bye bye.
Are robot handler dommes a thing?

In a tribunal for Putin they'll pave,
For the invasion in Ukraine he gave,
The EU takes a stand,
Justice will be planned,
Hope for peace, to the victims, we wave.

Foundations laid for tribunal to try Putin for Ukraine invasion, EU says
Tribunal’s creation was first proposed days after the full-scale invasion, but for nearly three years, lawyers have struggled to find the right courtroomJennifer Rankin (The Guardian)
Da einer meiner Söhne gerade im Referendariat zum Lehrer ist, bewegt mich das Thema ganz besonders u. ich habe mal rumgefragt: An KEINER der Schulen, von denen ich #Lehrer*innen oder Schüler*innen kenne, sind Amokläufe noch ein Thema, das präventiv besprochen wird. Weder wird im Lehrer*innenzimmer ein Wort über Ursachen u. Schutzmaßnahmen im Falle des Falles verloren, noch redet man mit den Kindern und Jugendlichen drüber. Finde ich nicht gut.
Wie sind Eure Erfahrungen?
Uff heute, bzw. mittlerweile gestern, um 06:00 aufstehen hat mich sehr aus der Spur geworfen. Nach dem ich wider zuhause war gegen 14:00 war ich dann zu nichts mehr zu gebrauchen den rest des Tages.
Bin irgendwann in der Zeit danach eingeschlafen und um 21:30 wieder aufgewacht nachdem ich sehr wirres zeug geträumt hab.
