New from 404 Media: Google Earth has introduced an AI feature that lets anyone fabricate completely bullshit satellite images. In our own tests, we added a “bomb blast and crater” to an area of Los Angeles. This is a misinformation time bomb, will 100% be abused www.404media.co/google-earth...

Bordeaux, France, has now recorded more days above 40°C in 2026 alone than during the entire 105-year period from 1920 (when observations began) to 2025. This is deeply shocking.

I still can't believe we landed a robot on this alien world with an atmosphere thicker than our own. Data visualization combined with actual imagery returned from the spacecraft here (recorded over 20 years ago): www.youtube.com/watch?v=9L47...

September 10 Titan Monitoring Campaign - From Val Klavans (valklavans.bsky.social) - https://flic.kr/p/d9ZB9t

RGB color composite of Titan from Rev171 Between September 10 and 13, ISS acquired four TMC observations of a half-phase Titan, covering its southern, anti-Saturn hemisphere. These observations were aquired from distances ranging from 1.49 to 1.73 million kilometers (0.93 to 1.07 million miles). These images were taken on September 10, 2012 and received on Earth September 10, 2012. The camera was pointing toward TITAN at approximately 1,072,986 miles (1,726,804 kilometers) away, and the images were taken using the RED, CL1, GRN, BL1 and CL2 filters. Channel mixing was done to approximate true color. Credit: NASA / JPL / SSI / composite by Val Klavans

Hit the flight attendant call button, complain that the person is disrupting the flight, say you feel their behavior is causing a hazard that could become serious if the a/c encounters turbulence. Say they are inhibiting your ability to pay attention to directions from the cabin crew or cockpit.

Evangelist Whitney Lynn says she preaches on planes because she loves “a captive audience.” She's not alone. It's becoming a trend. If spreading your message requires listeners who can't escape, maybe it's not as compelling as you think. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/christian-...
