A survivor of the Sandy Hook School mass shooting in 2012 is a student at Michigan State University: “I am 21-years-old and this is the second mass shooting I’ve lived through. We can no longer allow this to happen. We can no longer be complacent.”

A quick summary of why all these UFOs are popping up now.

Call it Science Sunday… or Superbowl Science Sunday.

In spatial science (in this case radar/satellite data), we use techniques to filter out noise so we can identify objects in space (the abstract space, not outer space).

Think of it like trying to find a tennis ball on the beach using a 3d scan of the beach read as lines of text.

You know how big the tennis ball is, so you take all the data from the beach and tell the computer to find a round object that is the approximate size of a tennis ball.

It would take a lot longer to find the tennis ball if every small object on the beach had to be reviewed one-by-one. So we tell the computer to ignore everything that doesn’t look like a tennis ball.

Same goes with detecting aircraft.

We know the range of sizes aircraft typically are, and we know they move across space, so we filter out tiny objects that aren't large enough to be typical aircraft and/or are stationary so we can readily find objects that fit the parameters we set for things like war/spy planes/drones/etc.

When the balloon thing happened, NORAD reduced the filter sensitivity to allow smaller objects to pass through.

Now, we're picking up these small, slow-moving objects that had been filtered out before.

Back to the beach analogy: we essentially turned off the filter and now we’re picking up sea shells, coins and lost rings.

What the objects are and what nation/entity they're from has not been announced. They are simply unidentified flying objects (UFOs) at this point.

These weren’t necessarily launched or sent recently, we just never looked for them. Now we are.

And we’re finding there are quite a few of them there.

The way I see it, if somehow all the data on the cumulative risk of death, hosp, disability, heart attacks, strokes, etc with repeat covid infections turns out to be wrong, I will have worn a mask for longer than I needed to and missed a few social events. I’m ok with that. 1/3

80% of marriage is showing your spouse the item they couldn't find is in the exact place you told them to look.

If you’re a politician or media figure who sets up the LGBTQ community to be hated and feared - not because any of us ever harmed you but because you find it useful - then don’t you dare act surprised when this kind of violence follows.

Don’t you dare act surprised.

I await leadership from our leaders.

[Arlene Dickinson @ArleneDickinson]

Our bodies.
Our clothing.
Our religions.
Our loves.
Our lives.
Our voices.
…
Our choices.

Women are not chattel to be traded. Not bodies to be abused or used. Not slaves to another’s wishes or commands. Not any man’s to control.
We are not less than.
We. Are. Equal.

What others say doesn't directly affect your emotions. Between their words and your feelings is your interpretation of their intention.

Agency lies in the space between stimulus and response.

A sign of emotional intelligence is recognizing your power to change your assumptions.
