Not enough time to do anything about it, but then it was only a meter or so wide. At that side it was probable to be harmless. Ten times bigger, though, it starts to get worrisome. A hundred time the diameter, you need to stand up, take notice and consider launching the nukes.
This was not the first impactor to be detected prior to impact. In March, a 2-meter asteroid was detected 2 hours prior to impact.
The Turbo Encabulator has *finally* been updated:

In new court filing, public defenders for the suspect in the mass shooting at a Colorado gay club that left 5 people dead say that their client is non-binary and that "they use they/them pronouns." The lawyers refer to their client as Mx. Anderson Aldrich. pic.twitter.com/dPaUpiFXKN

Womp-womp.
Possibility exists that this is merely a tactic to get out of “hate crimes” charges. But how do you *prove* that? Doing so would seem to establish a precedent for testability of such things. If “a woman is anyone who claims to be a woman,” then “a non-binary is anyone who claims to be a non-binary,” and the one is as un-arguable as the other.
The animation is amusing, but taken with some of the animators previous work you don;t really get the idea that he thins all that highly of mankind.
This one is from nine years ago *really* gives the notion of not being all that fond of the species:
This one from four years ago is less a “humanity sucks” than “high population density sucks:”
That should be a sufficiency of depressing cartoons for today.
Researching a forthcoming book, I requested a book through the interlibrary loan system. I was a little sad to see that it has only been checked out three times in the last fifty+ years, with me being the third. The first time was in 1970, which didn’t surprise me a whole lot. But what’s weird is that the second time was only a few months ago.
The policies that the British government have enacted over recent years of allowing the mass invasion of Britain are, it seems, finally getting the British citizens mad enough to, maybe, do something about it. Britain seems to have a number of problems, including but not limited to:
1) Their National Health Service provide free health care to everyone… including the “migrants.” But the “migrants” aren’t funding new hospitals or more doctors; they’re just consuming the available resources.
2) The “migrants” aren’t building new housing; they’re simply being *given* housing. Houses, apartments, hotel rooms are disappearing from the market and being filled with, mostly, military age males from antagonistic nations.
3) The utilities, from electricity to natural gas to the water and sewers were built assuming the British population… not the British population PLUS an occupying foreign force.
The answer is obvious: first, prevent new “migrants” from landing; second, mass deportations. None of this is likely to occur. Why is the British government doing this to the British people? Fark if I know. The only explanations that seem to make any sort of sense sound a whole lot like conspiracy theories. But reality is what it is.
Here’s a thought… take a few hundred thousand of the military age migrant, give each of them an AK-47 and two magazines, and drop them off in Luhansk. Wacky hijinks ensue.
With all the freaking out about whether AI will replace human endeavor… rarely is it asked “Do we suck? Should the machines take over?” A case can be made.

NASA spent *decades* launching the Shuttle, so it’s a little surprising that the launch of the SLS caused this much damage.
Huh.
So Elon Musk posted some photos of a recent “code review” at Twitter. One photo in particular has some people upset… because the people who are there doing actual work seem to be… well, take a look:

If you read the Twitter comments, you’ll see that some people are upset that there aren’t enough women coders or black coders. Well… I don’t know how many were there before Musk took over, but the people who were fired were generally fired en masse; those who quit did so on their own; those who remained did so for reasons of their own. So it *appears* that “diverse” coders either weren’t there to begin with, or didn’t want to stay and work extra hard. Granted, some number of those remaining are foreigners on work visas… if they quit, they get sent back across the seas. So they are, arguably, stuck. Stuck in a country that all the harpies keep screaming is racist and horrible. So a chance for a free flight back to the homeland is something that they *should* be clamoring for, yes?
Included here are not only the closeups, but also a view from the public area showing just how brightly the exhaust lit the world.
