This is the tldr of "Did the giant solar storm mess with GPS?" There was an average drop in NACp ("Navigation accuracy category – position") of 0.8. Very roughly speaking, GPS error approximately doubled.
8/ There seems to be a delay between solar storm onset and anomalous decrease in NACp (the temporal resolution of the time axis is 60 seconds). Does it take time for the ionosphere to "heat up"?

Vaguely recall Republicans absolutely losing their shit over the (misleading to false) claim that the IRS in the Obama era targeted conservative non-profits for audits based on their ideology.

I'm sure every one of those people is speaking out in support of Mischief Toy Store or...?
Mischief Toy Store in St. Paul has until Wednesday to turn over employment records to the Department of Homeland Security as part of a surprise audit launched Friday, just hours after one of the shop's owners criticized ICE agents during a television interview. bit.ly/4r5AFol

Like how can we have endless pieces about fucking dissertation plagiarism and not one about "the spokesperson for DHS tells specific, easily-disproven lies constantly to provide cover for serious crimes against the public" how is that not a big deal? Do I have to write this shit myself?!?!?

I made 12 B&W interior illustrations for Christopher Ruocchio's upcoming Highmatter Edition (previously Diamond Edition) of Howling Dark, Sun Eater #2. These 4 have just been revealed, will post up the others as they get shown.

I'll ask CR when I may get some prints up.

We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King.

This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.

The only mechanism Democrats will have for regaining the US's diplomatic standing with Europe is take take extreme measures against the Republican party. They will never trust us again unless they think the Republican party in its current form is dead.

The world-cracking insanity of Trump unconstrained—with no "adult in the room" to push back, with no Republican possessing spine sturdy enough to stand up to him, with many Democratic leaders unwilling to admit the peril, with Wormtongues like Stephen Miller affirming his every base impulse.

if you try to focus on Trump’s authoritarianism, Schumer will deflect and say people want us to focus on affordability. but when Zohran Mamdani made affordability the heart of his campaign Schumer refused to endorse him because they disagree about Israel. it’s all mealy mouthed bullshit.

I have become obsessed with civil war history for a lot of reasons but, as I have mentioned before, a big lesson was how the liberal faction of the republican party negotiated themselves out of power, in large part, because of their own personal interest in “getting back to business as usual”
The durability of this particular void is honestly fascinating from a purely sociological perspective.

Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.

So to be clear we have actually reached the point where NATO states are deploying tripwire forces to deter *another NATO state* from invading *another NATO state.*

I struggle to communicate the strategic and just regular insanity of this moment.
Sweden is over Trump's nonsense about Greenland and is sending in troops.

SWEDEN, PEOPLE.
