Another day of reminding everyone that: "If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along."

Jesuit magazine America: “Masks bring to my mind the paramilitaries and death squads that seized people and made them ‘disappear’ during the 1970s and 1980s in Chile, during the dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet, and in El Salvador during the presidency of Jose Napoleón Duarte.”
Cops—and ICE—need to stop wearing masks

The incoming solar storm is approaching Earth & depending on how fast the solar wind is we'll get an hour or so's warning.

How do we know? We have a satellite in L1 position (space where the gravitational forces of two massive bodies like the Sun and Earth balance out) & it sends the signal to us.
