Elon Musk's SpaceX may have unwittingly* pioneered our imprisonment on Earth.

>> The big fear is that future collisions will cause a domino effect where Earth’s orbit becomes cluttered with tiny, high-speed bits of metal. That could create a near-impenetrable layer of debris that would make space launches so dangerous it would essentially trap humans on Earth. <<

Valtaapitävät on kyllä hyvin onnistuneet pitämään alamaiset toistensa kimpussa, kun ylen kommenteissa pöyristytään taas jotain kela-korvattujen rasvapurkkien jälleenmyynnistä. Missä viipyy niiden miljoonien valtiolta kupattujen yritystukien ja veroparatiiseihin piiloteltujen tulojen julistaminen varkaudeksi ja petokseksi? Jos joku saa vähän lisätuloja kauppaamalla torissa voiteita ja joku säästää ostamalla niitä, antaa mennä vaan. Pienituloisimpien pennosten paheksunta on melkoista hurskastelua.

Michael Young: I have a very very strong suspicion that the Israelis committed this latest atrocity in Lebanon to push the Iranians to withdraw from the ceasefire agreement, knowing full well that the ambiguity over whether Lebanon is included poses a problem for Iran. News just now that the IRGC has threatened to keep the Strait of Hormuz closed if Lebanon is not included. Israel is trying to torpedo the agreement, and on Sunday Netanyahu tried to talk Trump out of it, according to Israeli media.

Can't find any info on the status of the TACHELES 6U CubeSat from Germany, deployed by Artemis II. Except that it is in a 156.4 x 70,254.4 km elliptical inclined orbit.

The satellite is designed to test the effect of radiation on electronics for lunar rovers being built by the German company NEUROSPACE.

The name comes from the German Tacheles, "straight talk," which is itself derived from Yiddish תּכלית (takhles, 'purpose, result').

A fascinating image of the Moon's far side during the total solar eclipse, as seen last night by Artemis II astronauts around 01:06:19 UTC.

The glowing halo around the dark lunar disk is due to the zodiacal light, i.e, Sunlight reflected off space dust.

The left side of the moon is dimly lit up by Earth-shine, light reflected off Earth, located off the frame in the distance on the left.

Trump Announces Iran Ceasefire: US Offramp or Just Another Deception?

"The next two weeks will tell if the ceasefire announced yesterdaty is just another negotiation deception that seems to have become standard practice in Israeli—and now US—military operations. Last June 2025, Trump and the Israelis lured the Iranians into negotiations and then bombed Iran while talks were in

So it looks like the current ceasefire is going nowhere because Israel won't give up its Lebanon lebensraum, but it's still a good opportunity to update our scorecards at home. I have round 1(12 day war) as 10-9 in favor of ZOG. It wasn't decisive, but Iran agreed to a ceasefire with no enforceable guarantees against future aggression, letting ZOG reload for later. This last round was 10-8 Iran, because they clearly established a new status quo of control over the Strait, to the point where it was conceded even by Orange Faggot. Iran has a lot of momentum in this prizefight, and has withstood ZOG's early flurries to wind up in an even stronger strategic position. We'll see how ZOG responds to this in round 3.

Iran's Jewish community condemns US-Israeli attack on synagogue (New Arab, 2026-04-07)

newarab.com/news/irans-jewish-…
———

>> In a statement carried by Iran's Mehr news agency, the [Jewish] community said it condemned the targeting of the Rafi'-Nia synagogue in central Tehran, which it said had been destroyed, as well as wider US-Israeli attacks.

>> Homayoun Sameh, a Jewish representative in Iran's parliament, said the attack took place during Jewish holidays and described the #synagogue as an "ancient and holy" site. He said Torah scrolls had been left buried under the rubble following the strike.

>> Judaism is a legally recognised minority religion in Iran, with a community of between 8,000 and 15,000 people remaining in the country despite many emigrating following the 1979 Islamic Revolution…

in reply to AK

still looking for an official Israeli apology other than #IDF’s oops, we’re sorry we actually planned mass killing of non-Jews. Mind you this is not the first time Israeli operative attack Jewish sites, so maybe it’s indeed not such a big deal.

Avi Shlaim says he has 'proof of Zionist involvement' in 1950s attack on Iraqi Jews middleeasteye.net/news/avi-shl…

Also, where’s Sa’ar?

Following the Manchester synagogue attack, Gideon Sa’ar said #Israel expects “more than words from the Starmer government” and demanded a “change of course” on tackling anti-Jewish hatred.

The miracle in lending others a hand.

"The King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’"(Matthew 25:40)

Wouldn't this world be an amazing place if we all served one another as if our neighbor were the Messiah Himself?

Mark 16:15
"And He said to them, 'Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.'"

The gospel is God's Truth, that love runs the universe. Every word we speak, every kindness we pay-forward, every ounce of love we show toward God's creation, preaches the gospel. When we love others, Jesus feels it. And sometimes, He lets us experience His approval when we least expect it. When we reach out to help others with pressing needs, we find ourselves connected to God's strength. Jesus is the vine and we are the branches. When we act on His teachings, our spiritual fruit is produced to nourish our community. Apart from Him, we can do nothing. But with Him, we can experience and communicate His love to others.

John 13:34-35
34 "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
35 "By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."

Our Father in heaven,
Thank You for making us all one in Jesus Messiah. Thank You for Your Holy Spirit who makes us one with You. Keep us ever mindful of Your presence within ourselves and others. Let Your river of life flow through us. By Your sovereign power, let us bring healing and hope to our thirsty world. In Jesus' name, Amen.

April 8, 2026 @ 11:51 Good morning family & friends❣️ I am awake after my 12-hour nap, and ready for the day. J&E will be here shortly. It was supposed to be sunny today but I'm not seein' it. Yet? Or maybe before I woke up? Several tasks on the list for them/us today, then grands after school later. Also making dog food (beef, turkey, fish, eggs for the most part as always, plus some veg/berries/etc.) for Maisie. Chuy is moving pretty slowly this morning but doesn't seem to be in pain. He ate a dog treat for me and is still drinking and urinating, and seeking attention now and then...but mostly sleeping. Like a very old man... I have something planned for Wednesday Worship today but, like yesterday, too much going on for me to get to it until later in the day. So I will get started on my "morning 3" and see how much I can get done before J&E arrive, and will see you later! Have a great day❣️🙌✝️🎶😆🥩🌿💐👴👵🐕‍🦺🦜

The best time to leave Trump's death cult was a decade ago when he bragged on an open mic about how much he likes committing sexual assault.

The second best time was when he was adjudicated guilty in a court of law of raping E. Jean Carroll.

The third best time was when he was convicted by a jury of his peers of 34 counts of felony fraud.

The fourth best time was when he committed an armed insurrection against Congress and tried to hang his own Vice President.

The fifth best time was when he sent armies of anonymous armed goons into American cities with instructions to round random people up without due process and keep them in windowless boxes forever.

The sixth best time was when his name was found more than 1 million times in the Epstein files.

The seventh best time was when agents, acting on his orders, shot innocent American moms and dads in the face.

The eighth best time was when he bulldozed the White House.

The ninth best time was when he dropped bombs on an all girls elementary school murdering over 160 children.

The tenth best time was today when he threatened to use nuclear weapons to commit the genocide of over 90 million Iranian people.

Notice that none of those reasons are the price of gas.

And if *THAT* is the reason you're finally leaving the death cult, well, congratulations on finally discovering the reason that your adult children no longer let you see your grandkids.
