Was just blessed with the most incredible and vibrant Aurora display of my entire life in Oromocto, NB. I am left speechless. Everything was lit up by the pink glow, and I could easily see the pinks and greens dancing with my eyes! Looked like angel wings overhead!

"Within days, Russian soldiers poisoned their dog, an Alabai, along with all the other large dogs in Oleshky. They killed Liudmila’s nextdoor neighbor and raped his wife. A local butcher disappeared; no one knew whether he was also killed. Some neighbors were detained and beaten. Armed, masked soldiers searched Liudmila’s home three times, confiscating the couple’s Ukrainian passports and leaving them with no documents. And yet, Liudmila and Andriy stayed. They got a new puppy, also an Alabai. Russian troops started to move into civilian houses, parking tanks in what once were gardens."

Soldiers from The Royal Canadian Regiment walked for 35 hours from Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Petawawa to the National War Memorial in Ottawa (over 150 kilometres) this weekend to raise funds for the families of the CFB Wainwright tragedy:

Friends, in just two days, Christians were murdered on two continents.

On Friday, gunmen opened fire on a funeral at St. George’s Greek Orthodox Church in Karak, Jordan, and killed nine people. On Saturday, armed men attacked Orthodox churches and homes in Oromia, Ethiopia, and killed more than forty.

These are not statistics. They are our brothers and sisters, members of the mystical Body of Christ. When Saul set out to destroy the Church, the risen Jesus asked him, “Why are you persecuting me?” The Lord is still being persecuted in these victims of anti-Christian violence.

Christianity is by far the most persecuted religion in the world today. Those of us who worship in comfort have to ask what the deaths of these martyrs demand of us. At the very least, they demand that we pray for them, learn their names, press our leaders to act, and refuse to look away.

The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church.

Context Needed: This forecast is relying on IMD communication which flaws it entirely way off, already obs. confirm SSHWS Cat 4 ~115kts currently, plus BOB TCs exhibit complete BOF, hence precip. could be 400mm+ at Land TD.

Kyoto park is hit, which is immediately next to the metro station that was hit days ago and not far from the ice arena. This is now a trend of targeting this area. It’s purely residential though

The 80-knot 972 mb IMD estimate of Cyclone Arnab is way too high.

It is rapidly intensifying, has a healthy core, healthy banding, a great CDO, and shear won't increase for another 10 hours or so.

A run at C5 isn't impossible.

Mass Effect was my ultimate white whale, my all-time dream project. For the last couple years I'd been in discussion w/ BioWare & EA to take on the project & as part of that I wrote close to 20 minutes of music to explore where the franchise can go next, may as well share it!

An exceptionally dangerous situation is unfolding in southeastern Utah where the San Juan river is projected to exceed all-time record levels.

Flooding on this scale hasn't been seen since 1927 - almost a century ago.

Take this threat very seriously. Evacuate!

Imagine being a CEO of an US energy company and thinking that you work with close associates of the Trump family, only to find out that behind them is a sanctioned Russian company, really pulling the strings.

This happened in Alaska. Polar Train LNG's CEO, Joel Riddle, stepped down after finding out that the Russian "Novatek" company, which is under US sanctions, has been involved in a $25 billion energy project in Alaska. The CEO thought that he was working with Gentry Beach, a close friend of Donald Trump Junior.

Reportedly, that project was also discussed between Witkoff and Jared Kushner when they were with Putin. The White House admitted that the project was talked about "briefly".

We are witnessing the greatest corruption scandal the USA has ever witnessed. It all leads to Trump, his family and the Russians, and apparently they were even ready to sell riches of Alaska to the Russians.

The people in Alaska just need to look over to Russia, where the richest regions in terms of minerals and hydrocarbon resources have been stripped-mined, transferring all the wealth to Moscow and Saint Petersburg and leaving a scarred landscape in extreme poverty. That is the result of rampant corruption.

We are starting to see more details why Trump and his friends are trying so strongly to bully Ukraine into surrender. This is most certainly only the tip of the iceberg.

[Tatarigami_UA @Tatarigami_UA]

Another false claim from Elon Musk that needs exposing. While Starlink may be the best available system, it’s simply not immune to jamming. Since spring 2026, Russia has increasingly deployed Peresvet-M electronic warfare systems that effectively jam Starlink coms

[Tatarigami_UA @Tatarigami_UA]

Elon Musk lies again. Civilian Starlink was already speed-limited, and every terminal had to be whitelisted. Yet Starshield was throttled too, which can’t be explained by alleged ToS violations. His explanations keep contradicting each other, making his claims even less credible

[Geoffrey Miller @gmiller]

The factoid that '50% of marriages end in divorce' was kinda true decades ago.

But the divorce rate peaked in 1980.

Now, less than 40% of all marriages since 2000 end in divorce.

For college graduates, it's under 30%.

For college graduates who get married after age 25, and who don't have any kids before marriage, it's under 20%.

Anybody promoting the outdated, deceptive 50% rate has some kind of anti-marriage or anti-natalist agenda.
It scares young people away from getting married and having kids. That is their goal.

[Serhii Sternenko @sternenko]

Elon Musk claims that Ukraine allegedly violated Starlink's terms of use and used the system on combat drones.

As someone who was inside the process at the Ministry of Defense, I can say with certainty that this is not true.

In February of this year, whitelists were introduced. Stationary terminals could be registered by both military personnel and civilians.
But for any satellite terminal to work while on the move, it had to be added to a special list and connected to the military Starshield system. Otherwise, no satellite communication terminals in Ukraine would work.

In other words, using civilian Starlink for drone missions was technically impossible. All drone missions that required satellite communication could only be carried out using Starshield.

We are very grateful to the United States and SpaceX for access to critically important satellite communications. Ukraine did not violate the terms of use.

turns out it classifies what audio it hears, before reporting back to samsung.

sensor preferences, dog-barking and baby-crying event counters, and camera streaming duration are built into telemetry paths.

[log4j @log4j]

this is pretty evil and clever.

so if your samsung TV model doesnt have a microphone, it will look for connected devices with one, such as a soundbar or a connected bluetooth device.

this gets shipped off to bixby.

A weak tornado affected Portchester, Hampshire, just after midnight on 23 October, with a 1.6 km land track. It was associated with heavy showers that moved inland from the Channel, linked to Storm Austen. More details to follow after the analysis has concluded.
