I'm not going to link to the propaganda press release by the DOJ, but here's a sample:

". . . the defendants were members of a North Texas Antifa Cell . . . defendants [redacted] are alleged to have been part of a group that created and distributed insurrectionary materials called “zines.”

“The government is allowed to post real death threats on social media but you’re not allowed to post sarcastic death threats on social media” is actually a pretty apt distillation of power and violence

NEW: I wrote about Nasa's rather incredible system for detecting tsunamis, in near real-time, by *analysing GNSS signals*.

Some tsunamis are so big, they cause ripples in the Earth's atmosphere big enough to affect GPS.

'It sounded kind of crazy': How ripples in the high atmosphere warned scientists of a tsunami in real time
Tsunamis are notoriously difficult to spot on the open ocean as they race towards shore. But in the summer of 2025, scientists watched one unfold as it happened.

A very energetic X5 solar flare occured hours ago from AR 4274. This is the sixth strongest flare of the current solar cycle. A fast, full-halo CME has left the Sun and will probably hit Earth in a couple days. This week could see some fairly intense geomagnetic storming...

I'm reminded of a Sherlock Holmes line:

"The lowest and vilest alleys in London do not present a more dreadful record of sin than does the smiling and beautiful countryside"
1. In the wake on Mamdani’s win, we’ll see a lot more far right anti-urban sentiment. Here’s a thread on its roots and evolution.

The idea that the city is evil and corrupt, and the countryside innocent and pure, goes back a long way: to Theocritus in Alexandria, and to the Old Testament. 🧵

Today in 1963, the “Twilight Zone” episode “The Old Man in the Cave” aired for the first time on CBS. Set in 1974, 10 years after a nuclear war, survivors in a remote town must choose whether to continue to follow the advice of their leader and an unseen old man or a cadre of newly-arrived soldiers.
