Boeing Starliner is finally on its way back.
The troubled spacecraft successfully undocked from the ISS without issue just after 6PM ET, and now it is scheduled to land at 12:01AM ET on Saturday at White Sands Space Harbor in New Mexico.
Trump is giving up and pulling out of three states.
He’s bailing on #New #Hampshire, #Virginia, and #Minnesota.
Trump was never likely to win any of these states. But his campaign viewed them as being just competitive enough that an upset might be possible in each of them.
No more. It’s even worse for him than that.
While Trump hasn’t pulled out of #Michigan or #Wisconsin, he’s now spending the minimum in those states, suggesting he doesn’t think he can win them either.
It appears he’s trying to win the Electoral College by winning #Pennsylvania, #North #Carolina, and #Nevada.
This is a dangerous strategy for him, because it means
🔥Kamala Harris can defeat him simply by winning any one of those three states.
And if she does, Trump no longer has any fallback scenario.

But what about:
- ratings
- profits
- tax cuts
What if those are more important to the journalists and their corporate overlord #oligarchs than abstractions like #democracy and decency?
Corporate media is showing us everyday what is wrong with the #CorporateMedia ecosystem.

Wow, the new 'Search All Messages From User' feature in @John_Livingston's live-chat plugin for #PeerTube is fantastic!
It'll be a very important tool for moderation -- but also, how many times have you been #streaming and you forgot something someone said, but you couldn't find their message because chat had scrolled so much?
Live streamers on the fediverse are eating good thanks to Mr. Livingston, @Chocobozzz, and everyone who contributes to PeerTube. T_T

I've noticed these features but haven't had the opportunity to make use of them yet! I'm still working on making the PeerTube channel a more central part of my content in-general.
Yesterday I finished version 1.0 of my PeerTube-Twitch-Chat-Bridge, so tonight's the first stream where both chats can talk to each other! I've still got a few important features I need to implement, like disconnect-protection and avatars for Twitch users (downloaded from their Twitch profiles).
HAHAHAHA!!!
Oh ouch! I have seen that too many times in real life!

"'We were peacefully demonstrating alongside Palestinians against the colonisation of their land and the illegal settlement of Evyatar. The situation escalated when the Israeli army began to fire tear gas and live ammunition, forcing us to retreat. We were standing on the road, about 200 meters from the soldiers, with a sniper clearly visible on the roof. Our fellow volunteer was standing a bit further back, near an olive tree with some other activists. Despite this, the army intentionally shot her in the head.'"

If the US government is happy to let Israel get away with attacking and killing its own military then they’re hardly going to get upset about Israel murdering US peace activists or journalists.
So, protection is sensible, and vaccination an option that should be considered, especially as immunity wanes and new variants emerge.
Minimal efforts to limit disease spreading, such as vaccinations, distancing, masks, ventilation and testing;
What to do?
Improve airborne infection control, especially in healthcare; manage Long COVID crisis.
this is a friday evening operation since it changes ~20K files and will cause conflicts in many open PRs
since it's a confusing and very emotional topic, let's see where things are going 1/10

The Boeing Starliner’s strange test flight finally returned to Earth, but it’s empty
The Starliner flew home empty after undocking autonomously, while the astronauts it took to the ISS will make a separate trip back to Earth in 2025.
No, 10M 'Illegal Aliens' Weren't Newly Registered To Vote in 2024 in US
The numbers came from a government agency, but they did not mean what memes claimed they meant.

Another case of "Wow, I can't believe this very popular book that's been getting so much buzz is actually available for check-out at my library." I don't normally start a book so soon after adding it to my TBR, but I added The God of The Woods a couple of weeks ago, saw it on a list of new audiobooks at my library, and started it today.
I can already tell it's going to live up to the hype.
