Thousands of Israelis demonstrated in Tel Aviv tonight calling for a national commission of inquiry over the failures that led to October 7. The Netanyahu government opposes the formation of such a commission of inquiry (Video: @sha_b_p)

It will be a shame when it re-enters.. could really use a few satellites launched with some transponders/repeaters.
If you haven’t made any FM QSOs yet on our HADES-R (SO-124) satellite, you only have a few weeks left! It’s reaching the end of its orbital life due to its rapid decay, Old gear works fine, since no sub-tone is needed. Uplink on 145.925 MHz downlink on 436.888 MHz. Always active

HF bands going to be flatter than a pancake the next few days with incoming CME's - maybe some auroral enhancements 10m upwards. Long path comms - probably no chance !!

This is unequivocally the most astounding capture of the atmosphere that I have ever seen. If you are a younger meteorologist, watch this then attempt to understand it through study. All hurricanes have a center, not all hurricanes attain cyclostrophic balance and produce one

I am Dutch and I think that it’s shameful that the @BBC and other large media outlets are framing the banning of Macabi football fans as antisemitism. When they were in Amsterdam, they were behaving like hooligans, assaulting people and chanting death to Arabs. Thats why we

The US is making a $9B bet on small modular reactors (SMRs) to power AI data centers and cut emissions. Will the economics work? Highlights: - $6B+ US govt support since 2019, $3B+ private capital - Past SMR efforts: delays + big overruns (NuScale canceled after +120% costs;

The Israeli Minister inviting Tommy Robinson a man with multiple convictions for violence and fraud to Israel in response to the horrific Manchester attack. Let that sink in.😳 At a time all communities in the UK are uniting to support our Jewish community as they grieve, the
In the wake of the horrific Manchester terrorist attack, Israel and the Jewish people stand firmly with our allies in the United Kingdom. On behalf of the State of Israel, I am proud to host British patriot @TRobinsonNewEra who will visit Israel in mid-October. Tommy is a

1 Powerwall per person could run all of California on solar overnight. Population ~40M Powerwall - 13.5 kWh Total - 540 GWh Average daily demand - 762 GWh (2024)
It's astonishing how wide the battery curve has gotten in California. Last Tuesday, batteries consistently supplied more than 20% of demand for 4 hours from 6pm to 10pm. Price signals are working well.

Kneecap fought the law, and the law lost. This victory for @KNEECAPCEOL is a victory for everyone speaking out against Israel’s genocide. One day, it will be those who facilitated the genocide hauled before courts. And those cases will not be thrown out.
All charges have been dropped against Kneecap’s Mo Chara. I strongly welcome this decision. These charges were part of a calculated attempt to silence those who stand up and speak out against the Israeli genocide in Gaza. Kneecap have used their platform on stages across the

Instead of being allowed to address the UN, Netenyahu should be in prison. Good to see delegates walking out in disgust at the sight of the blood soaked war criminal
ICC Criminal Netanyahu avoided flying over France, Spain, and other European countries to evade arrest for war crimes. Today, he’s in New York being booed by the international community. Everyone knows who you are now.
