  • The Odds of This Dangerous Asteroid Hitting Earth Just Went Up

    The Odds of This Dangerous Asteroid Hitting Earth Just Went Up

    The odds of asteroid Bennu hitting Earth are still extremely low, NASA said in an update, but an impact could be disastrous.

    Scientists have been tracking asteroid 101955 Bennu ever since it was discovered in 1999, in part because its orbit occasionally brings it close to Earth, raising the risk of a future crash.

    At about 500 meters (1,600 feet) wide, the asteroid could wipe out a city if it impacted a populated area of our planet, though it would not wreak the kind of planetary damage caused by the Chicxulub impactor, which spanned at least 10 kilometers (6 miles) and ended the age of the dinosaurs.

    Now keep In mind that we were talking about a 22nd century impact. So this one has no danger to us in the immediate future.. great great great great great grandchildren may face another reality ..

  • Passenger and military jets both report seeing UFO over Canada

    Passenger and military jets both report seeing UFO over Canada

    On the night of July 30, a Canadian military and a KLM Royal Dutch Airlines flight reported a UFO over the Gulf of Saint Lawrence.

    According to an aviation incident report posted on the night of Aug. 11, both flights “reported seeing a bright green flying object” that “flew into a cloud, then disappeared” in a stretch of open water between Quebec and Newfoundland. 

    Few other details were made available in the report, which appeared in CADORS, the Canadian government’s flight incident archive.

    The summer of UFOs continue.. Much less bang and much more whimper.. but sightings continue in the strange dark skies..

    Vice has this follow up:

    “In this particular incident, there is nothing to indicate that what the crew saw posed any kind of safety risk to the aircraft,” they added. “We believe that they saw something—they would not have filed a report otherwise.”

    A spokesperson from Nav Canada, the private company that operates Canada’s air traffic control system and whose employees would have received the initial reports, told VICE World News that “there is no additional Nav Canada information available for these events.”

  • BRITNEY CLOSER TO FREE

    BRITNEY CLOSER TO FREE

    Gossip rags and celebrity sites are abuzz with information that Britney Spears’ dad Jamie has STEPPED DOWN as conservator of her estate..

    Court documents obtained by the UK SUN and other sources suggest that the long national nightmare has come to an end..

    This reporting from the SUN:

    New court papers filed by Jamie Spears‘ lawyer state: “There are, in fact, no actual grounds for suspending or removing Mr. Spears as the Conservator of the Estate. “And it is highly debatable whether a change in conservator at this time would be in Ms. Spears’ best interests. However, the docs continue: “Nevertheless, even as Mr. Spears is the unremitting target of unjustified attacks, he does not believe that a public battle with his daughter over his continuing service as her conservator would be in her best interests. “So, even though he must contest this unjustified Petition for his removal, Mr. Spears intends to work with the Court and his daughter’s new attorney to prepare for an orderly transition to a new conservator.” Jamie’s team then insists in the court papers: “Regardless of his formal title, Mr. Spears will always be Ms. Spears’ father, he will always love her unconditionally, and he will always look out for her best interests.”

    So is she free?

    NOT SO FAST..

    Yes, he will step down after several lingering issues are resolved .. BUT the document gives no timetable for his resignation from his role helping oversee his daughter’s finances.

    “Mr. Spears continues to serve dutifully, and he should not be suspended or removed, and certainly not based on false allegations,” the filing said. “Mr. Spears is willing to step down when the time is right, but the transition needs to be orderly and include a resolution of matters pending before the Court.”

    So #FreeBritney can live on as a hash tag just a bit longer.

  • The tsunami that wasn’t (thankfully)

    The tsunami that wasn’t (thankfully)

    The National Tsunami Warning Center in Palmer, Alaska has issued a bulletin for the U.S. East Coast, the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, eastern Canada, and the Caribbean including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands in the wake of a massive earthquake that struck deep under the Atlantic Ocean today.

    “Earthquakes of this size are known to generate tsunamis dangerous to shorelines near the source,” the Tsunami Warning Center wrote in a bulletin. Fortunately, they add, “There is no tsunami danger for the U.S. east coast, the Gulf of Mexico states, or the eastern coast of Canada.” ..the danger subsided..

    An additional bulletin released by the Tsunami Warning Center also gave the all-clear to all Caribbean interests.

    At 2:33 pm ET today, a 7.6 earthquake struck at a depth of 48 miles in the South Sandwich Islands region of the South Atlantic Ocean. It was followed by impressive aftershocks of 5.9, 5.9, 5.7, and most recently a 6.2 which struck just before 4pm ET. The initial earthquake was centered at 57.596°S 25.187°W.

    There have been a few quakes in the Mid-Atlantic fault line region this week, none of which caused dangers of a tsunami..

    But this event today caused a few fears before the final bulletin that there was nothing to fear but fear itself..

    A few days ago, Strange Sounds was among the sites reporting on the East Coast tsunami danger.

    We have a 104 things to worry about and a tsunami ain’t one of them.

    Until it is.

  • CLICKBAIT looks like the perfect series for our time

    CLICKBAIT looks like the perfect series for our time

    The limited thriller series “Clickbait” is coming to Netflix globally on August 25.. The official press release has it billed as “a compelling, high stakes thriller that explores the ways in which our most dangerous and uncontrolled impulses are fueled in the age of social media.”

    That sounds pretty good, it compares nicely with modern life, right?

    One of the best shows series on Netflix has been BACK MIRROR.

    Hopefully this series has the same feel and works on that same high level..

    Netflix details, “An eight-episode limited series told from revolving points of view, Clickbait is a compelling, high stakes thriller that explores the ways in which our most dangerous and uncontrolled impulses are fueled in the age of social media, revealing the ever-widening fractures we find between our virtual and real-life personas.”

    This is the synopsis:

    “Nick Brewer (Adrian Grenier) is a loving father, husband, and brother, who one day suddenly and mysteriously disappears. A video appears on the internet of the badly beaten Nick holding a card that says “I abuse women. At 5 million views, I die”. Is this a threat or confession? Or both? As his sister (Zoe Kazan) and wife (Betty Gabriel) rush to find and save him, they uncover a side of Nick they didn’t know existed.”

    Here is the very interesting trailer:

  • Vaccine efficacy hysteria: Following the science to oblivion

    Vaccine efficacy hysteria: Following the science to oblivion

    This post may be shadow blocked. Or deleted.. or whatever-ed. Anymore, it’s tough to say.. Yes there are people who profess against science and common sense. But there are also those who question nothing..

    This post is not going to be anti-vaccine. But just anti-bad journalism and sensationalism. All of which we have seen in increasingly large amounts in the previous year or so..

    If you didn’t notice over the past several weeks since the Delta Strain of COVID-19 began to circulate widely and now take center state in the summer wave, journalism has been .. just weird.

    On one hand, endless news media talking heads have used the term ‘unvaccinated’ as though they want to round up Americans who didn’t get the jab and electrocute them. Some have said they are guilty of murder.. take away their children, a few decry!

    Meanwhile, the same reporters are admitting that vaccinated Americans are spreading COVID with their viral loads. Perhaps not getting as sick, but potentially giving the Delta variant to the unvaccinated masses in some circles of former friends.

    The CDC has admitted breakthrough cases could end up being in the tens of thousands if not more. Heck, it seems every day we hear about someone in the Yankees baseball organization developing COVID–vaccinated Yankees no less.

    So these breakthrough cases are causing confusion. Mass confusion. And yes, mass debate and hysteria.

    Life in America in 2021 is a little more brutal on the COVID anger front than even back in the worst year in modern history, 2020. After all, back then we only had to scream out heads off about masks and social distancing. Now the hatred and hostilities over shut down orders behind us, we have moved on to government overreach vs the follow the science corners.

    Rational discussion? HA! Not only a thing of the past but perhaps it will never return again.

    We have fully replaced it with click bait headlines that have articles with nothing to offer but hysterical analysis and little to no facts..

    Who what when where why has been replaced by talking points and one-sided sarcasm.

    Journalism ain’t anything like it once was.

    If people can get passed the vitriolic hatred that both sides on the vaccine debate have towards each other and try to just research what you can, things may be a little worse.

    Today’s splashing headline on Axios was about dread in the Biden White House that the Pfizer vaccine was just 42% effective against Delta.

    But wait…just a few days ago local news across America reported to their audiences that Pfizer was effective against Delta!

    Maybe Moderna. So anohter study concluded that Moderna is MORE effective than Pfizer! The TIMES OF ISRAEL reported that Moderna is MUCH more effective than Pfizer! Good news, right?

    But a previous study said that Moderna and Pfizer were just about equal in protection against Delta.

    And Johnson and Johnson!? Some have called it the Dollar general vaccine.

    The New York TIMES reported on a study saying that the J&J one and done is not effective against Delta. Some of the 13 million people who got the Jannsen are worried they chose the wrong vaccine, the Washington POST reports.

    But while they fret over which company they went with, yet another study of Johnson & Johnson states that it is highly effective in preventing serious illness from Delta..

    So what can we learn from this leaning tower of babel?

    You can take your pick on which vaccine snobbery you side with.. you can be like Burger King and have it your way with the study of your choice.. but if anyone, ANYONE in the media, is confused as to why there is vaccine hesitancy, just watch your own news and read your owner stories for a few hours.. then tell me what to think.

  • The suspension of doctor Paul: YouTube takes down Rand as punishment

    The suspension of doctor Paul: YouTube takes down Rand as punishment

    Senator writes that his suspension from YouTube is a badge of honor..

    More..

    Sen. Rand Paul, a Kentucky Republican, has been suspended from YouTube for seven days over a video claiming that masks are ineffective in fighting Covid-19, according to a YouTube spokesperson.

    “This resulted in a first strike on the channel, which means it can’t upload content for a week, per our longstanding three strikes policy,” the spokesperson said. “We apply our policies consistently across the platform, regardless of speaker or political views, and we make exceptions for videos that have additional context such as countervailing views from local health authorities.”

    Paul has been outspoken over the last year, question Dr Anthony Fauci regular in tense testimony .. Paul also succumbed to a Covid infection in 2020, and argues that his natural immunity is as strong as a vaccine..

  • NASA’s new space suits are delayed, making a 2024 Moon landing ‘not feasible’

    NASA’s new space suits are delayed, making a 2024 Moon landing ‘not feasible’

    An audit from the agency’s Office of Inspector General said NASA is on track to spend more than $1 billion on space suit development by the time its first two suits are ready, which would be “April 2025 at the earliest,” the report said. “Given these anticipated delays in spacesuit development, a lunar landing in late 2024 as NASA currently plans is not feasible.”

    NASA is trying to return astronauts to the surface of the Moon for the first time since 1972 under its Artemis program that was spawned by the Trump administration in 2019. The program, as set by former Vice President Mike Pence, called for a crewed lunar landing in 2024 — a deadline that President Biden’s transition team deemed unrealistic. But NASA continues to embrace the date, with administrator Bill Nelson insinuating delays are likely because “space is hard.”

    Wait wait wait… this comes decades upon decades after the 1969 moon landing? After a suave suit made many moons, presidents, and popes ago kept our astronauts safe in space ?

    The technology has been long lost, we guess ..

  • New data on coronavirus vaccine effectiveness against Delta raises concern among Biden administration

    New data on coronavirus vaccine effectiveness against Delta raises concern among Biden administration

    Overall, it found that the Moderna vaccine was 86% effective against infection over the study period, and Pfizer’s was 76%. Moderna’s vaccine was 92% effective against hospitalization and Pfizer’s was 85%.
    But the vaccines’ effectiveness against infection dropped sharply in July, when the Delta variant’s prevalence in Minnesota had risen to over 70%.
    Moderna was 76% effective against infection, and Pfizer was only 42% effective.
    The study found similar results in other states. For example, in Florida, the risk of infection in July for people fully vaccinated with Moderna was about 60% lower than for people fully vaccinated with Pfizer.
