The Moon is a major destination, a complex world in its own right. It is larger than any of the dwarf planets of the solar system! (All shown to scale here.)

AFP/Reuters:

"...Satellite imaging company Planet Labs has said it will indefinitely withhold visuals of Iran and the ⁠region of conflict in the Middle East to comply with a request from United States President Donald Trump’s administration.

The US company announced the decision in an email to customers on Saturday, with news agencies quoting it as saying the government had asked satellite imagery providers ⁠to impose an “indefinite withhold of imagery”...."

JUST IN: Maine is about to become the first US state to ban new data centers.

And 10 other states are right behind it.

Maine wants to freeze massive construction projects until late 2027.

The bill passed the Democratic-controlled House (with Republican support). The Senate is expected to follow. Gov. Janet Mills backs it.

And right now, at least 10 states are advancing similar bans.

I remember when MAGAs lost their minds when Biden said inshaAllah (God willing) in a random sentence.

Trump screams “Praise be to Allah” (Alhumdolillah) to threaten war crimes & MAGAs are thrilled.

Apparently, it’s only anti-American to use Arabic expressions casually, but when using them to threaten civilians on Easter, it’s as patriotic as can be.😐

READ IT!

NOW!

❝ I cannot tell you what to do, watching the US president and his horrific regime trying to plunge the world into flame and darkness. I can’t tell you because I have no idea either.

All I can tell you is this:

You have to know, with total and completely clarity, that nobody is coming to save us.

And knowing that, you will feel lost — but strangely clear.

And suddenly the work will be on you.❞

Everybody needs to read this thread.

I said NOW, dammit!

As an almost 70 year old man, I have some advice for young men.

1. Your voice doesn't need to be heard. In fact, realizing that you don’t HAVE to have an opinion on everything and voice opinions or ideas in meetings or social gatherings, is amazingly liberating. You can actually just shut up, and relieve yourself of all that effort and stress. Let Bob utter his embarrassingly dumb idea, let Shirley have a say. You can just let it be for the most part
