Reminder: if you are inside the green or dark green area of this map, watch the ~10 o'clock position of the moon tonight at 2:35am EDT/11:35pm PDT. More info here: https://spaceweather.com/archive.php?day=28&month=07&year=2026&view=view

You probably won't see anything. But maybe you'll see a little poof of dust within a few minutes as something the size of a bus crashes into the moon at more than 8,000 km/hr

@Urban_Hermit Not to mention he's a rapist and a pedophile.

The President of the United States is a lying piece of shit, which is not his job, and I think he should be personably liable and sued after he leaves office for liable, slander, and defamation for the damage he has tried to commit against random Americans.

And as POTUS, he has the resources to be well informed and factual, so the dissemination of false information is a choice.

Also, he's a flight risk.

Smokescreen pair spotted:

Distraction: "Trump Threatens 'Anti-Weaponization' Fund Contingent on AG Nominee Confirmation" (hype: 38.5/100)
Buried: "DOJ Seeks Voter Roll Access in Multiple States" (damage: 49.7/100)

One dominated your feed. The other actually mattered.
