(Lawsuit is about their pride merch causing boycotts, not the removal of DEI) I agree, currently not shopping there and will continue to du so cause they pulled DEI. Can't capitulate to fascists

That's Reverse Flash

Volo: I've been kidnapped several times! Here's all the things I found out during my captivity!

That's a weird picture of Theodore Roosevelt.

Well, ya see, gotta reduce the number of companies. The less companies, the more the line goes up

Spoiler: it's a quid pro quo, like they've been telling anyone willing to listen.

Here's the possible impact sites. Ocean is a pretty good chance, and that would mean even less impact. If it's close to shore, then there's a chance for waves, but that's about it. Locations are based on the timing of when the asteroid will arrive in 2032, not the shape of the orbit which we have fairly good accuracy on (that's why the "beam" of possibilities is so narrow)

Currently, we're unable to directly observe the asteroid due to the distance, but we do have a good idea on what its orbit looks like, so any updates on the odds is coming from past, unintentional observations on the asteroid (we took a photo of something else in the sky, but know that the asteroid should be in that photo).

When the asteroid passes by again in 4 years is when we'll likely get the most info on location/impact before the potential impact in 2032.

All this info comes from this Scott Manley video. He's an excellent space science educator (and KSP player)

If anything, it might get a tiny bit warmer

A direct hit would be about the size of a fission nuclear bomb. Devastating for a city, but no regional or country-wide impacts, let alone globally

I think that's the draw, yeah? It's like Twitter, without the madness

Yeah, that's the shit rich people want you repeating. It makes it seem impossible to resist them.

Listen. It's not just dumb voters. It's a conservative propaganda vessel that funds any right-leaning talking points. It's madness being poured into any willing ear, all it takes is a little fear to let them in. I want to believe that individual volition trumps this by-the-numbers propaganda, but the proof is in the pudding. Make people scared and isolated and you can make them believe whatever shit you want (at least, on a macro scale)
