There is no emergency situation going on aboard the International Space Station. At approximately 5:28 p.m. CDT, audio was aired on the NASA livestream from a simulation audio channel on the ground indicating a crew member was experiencing effects related to decompression sickness (DCS). This audio was inadvertently misrouted from an ongoing simulation where crew members and ground teams train for various scenarios in space and is not related to a real emergency. The International Space Station crew members were in their sleep period at the time. All remain healthy and safe, and tomorrow’s spacewalk will start at 8 a.m. EDT as planned.

The Suspect, Who Is Accused of Having Sympathies to the Iranian Government
A similar story to the Pulse Gay Nightclub shooting, a foreign culture, Omar Mateen shot and killed 49 people and wounded 53 more in a mass shooting at Pulse, the nightclub in Orlando, Florida. In a call to 9-1-1 during the shooting, Mateen identified himself as "Mujahideen," "Islamic Soldier". Mateen visited Saudi Arabia for an eight-day trip and a ten-day trip the latter was organized by the Islamic Center at New York University which included twelve New York City police officers and groups from Columbia and Yale, around this time, he went to the United Arab Emirates. House Intelligence Committee said that U.S. investigators "are searching for details about the Saudi Arabia trips."
Rushdie attacker Matar’s Social Media Accounts Showed Extremist Beliefs & Photos of Deceased Iranian Commander Qassem Soleimani
Law enforcement sources told NBC New York that review of Matar’s social media accounts “shows he is sympathetic to Shia extremism and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps causes.”
The source told NBC that there “are no definitive links to the IRGC but the initial assessment indicates he is sympathetic to the Iranian government group, the official says.”
According to the Associated Press, Rosaria Calabrese, manager of the State of Fitness Boxing Club, said that Matar participated in group sessions. Several days before the attack, he emailed her to cancel his membership, saying “he wouldn’t be coming back for a while,” AP reported.
Gym owner Desmond Boyle told AP he saw “nothing violent” about Matar, but said he was standoffish and looked “tremendously sad.”

In Switzerland the idea of Direct Democracy or pure democracy is a form of democracy in which the electorate decides on policy initiatives without elected representatives as proxies, a different system in the multi cultural Government of Singapore is defined by the Constitution of the Republic of Singapore to consist of the President and the Executive. The term "republic" encompassed both democracies and aristocracies. The republican form of government is a form of government often without a monarch and Republic democracies can be republics or constitutional monarchies. The Republic a Western political ideology that encompasses a range of ideas from civic virtue, political participation, harms of corruption, positives of mixed constitution, rule of law, it can ranges the rule of a representative minority or aristocracy to popular sovereignty. The Republic was the system of government that emerged in the 6th century BC or 6th century Before 'CE' following the expulsion of the kings from Rome by Lucius Junius Brutus and Collatinus, on the Indian Sub Continent and Hindu culture there was Vaishali, capital city of the Vajjika League of India, Vajjika League was a league of republican tribal states is considered one of the first examples of a republic around the 6th century BC, Iroquois Native Americas might have developed a form of democratic society, the Parliament of England had its roots in the restrictions on the power of kings written into Magna Carta, Revolutionary France adopted the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, New Zealand became one of the first country in the world to establish active universal suffrage by recognizing women.

A link to the family of Elon Musk the technocracy movement a social political movement active in the United States and Canada in the 1930s which favored technocracy as a system of government over representative democracy and concomitant partisan politics, some link it to engineer Howard Scott's Technical Alliance and Technocracy Incorporated, prior to the internal factionalism that dissolved the latter organization during the Second World War.

Though little known today, the organization boasted over half a million members in California alone at its peak in the 1930s and `40s. Members painted their cars "Official Technocracy Gray," wore a uniform consisting of a gray double-breasted suits, and saluted Scott when they encountered him in person. At their most extreme, some members replaced their names with numbers, such as "1x1809x56," according to an essay published on, of all places, the US Social Security Administration website. In 1946, its members organized a massive motorcade, driving from Los Angeles to Vancouver, Canada, to get the word out about the movement.
In year 1933, Scott gave a speech about technocracy at New York's Hotel Pierre, before a live audience of 400, which was also broadcast on radio nationwide, it was called a "grave mistake", "disastrous", and "a complete failure"

One positive described by this system is it allows more represented ranked voting instead of two major A vs B candidates, it allows someone to politically win by picking up lots of 3rd place, 4th place and 5th place votes.
However we can see in Europe and Australia some unpopular fringe parties become more powerful which can also create problems in king maker alliances, 'Kingmaker' Lieberman politics.

Community Notes, formerly known as Birdwatch, is a feature on X (formerly Twitter) where contributors can add context such as fact-checks under a post, image or video. It is a community-driven content moderation program, intended to provide helpful and informative context, based on a crowd-sourced system. Notes are applied to potentially misleading content by an algorithm not based on majority rule, but instead agreement from users on different sides of the political spectrum.

The demagogue has been around a while, recording by Europe and Greeks as the political leader who seeks support by appealing the common people or mob popular desires and speak with prejudice words rather than using rational thought they will use emotional broadcasts, American writers, British and French writers have noted them over the years. Huey Long, Joseph McCarthy, Putin, Mugabe who received an honorary British Order of Empire knighthood and collapsed the currency and dominated Zimbabwe's politics for nearly four decades, one month after being deposed, but before he died, many of the public references to Mugabe – street names, for example – had been removed from public places, John Sentamu part of English religious culture in Britain, the Uganda-born Archbishop of York called Mugabe "the worst kind of racist dictator",

Brazil's government is partnering with OpenAI to use AI for expediting the screening and analysis of thousands of lawsuits to reduce costly court losses impacting the federal budget.
https://www.reuters.com/technology/arti … 024-06-11/
The AI service will flag to government the need to act on lawsuits before final decisions, mapping trends and potential action areas for the solicitor general's office (AGU). AGU told Reuters that Microsoft would provide the artificial intelligence services from ChatGPT creator OpenAI through its Azure cloud-computing platform. It did not say how much Brazil will pay for the services. AGU said the AI project would not replace the work of its members and employees. "It will help them gain efficiency and accuracy, with all activities fully supervised by humans," it said.
Court-ordered debt payments have consumed a growing share of Brazil's federal budget. The government estimated it would spend 70.7 billion reais ($13.2 billion) next year on judicial decisions where it can no longer appeal. The figure does not include small-value claims, which historically amount to around 30 billion reais annually. The combined amount of over 100 billion reais represents a sharp increase from 37.3 billion reais in 2015. It is equivalent to about 1% of gross domestic product, or 15% more than the government expects to spend on unemployment insurance and wage bonuses to low-income workers next year. AGU did not provide a reason for Brazil's rising court costs.

Biden vs. Trump: Which President put the U.S. in more debt?
https://finbold.com/biden-vs-trump-whic … more-debt/
Though the U.S. public debt has been creeping up for more than a century – and had some notable spikes in crisis years such as during the Second World War – the rise in the burden became especially sharp on three occasions: when the ‘Bretton Woods system’ was abandoned, when the ‘Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981,’ after the Great Recession, and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
The debt became a hot topic once more in 2023 with the latest of many debt ceiling crises, and again in 2024 as Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) estimated that the country is adding $1 trillion to the burden every 100 days, and as the IMF issued a stern rebuke to the nation over its fiscal policy.
With the presidential elections coming in mere months – and with both of the biggest of the most likely candidates having already held office – Finbold decided to examine whether Donald Trump or Joe Biden added more to the national debt during their terms.

Disney denied the allegations. Some say he is a political activist/troll, writer.
https://web.archive.org/web/20170821132 … star-wars/ In November 2017, Posobiec married a social media influencer born in Belarus. Rumors say Jack fired from Canada's Rebel Media for plagiarizing Jason Kessler's and in 2017, Kessler pled guilty to "misdemeanor assault after he punched a man while gathering signatures for his petition
Jack continued other journalism, he live-streamed an investigation of the pizzeria and was asked to leave after attempting to broadcast a child's birthday party being held in a back room. Posobiec later said he had always thought the Pizzagate theory was "stupid" and had filmed his visit to debunk it.

From 2012 to 2016, Posobiec ran a blog and podcast about Game of Thrones called AngryGoTFan
It is thought he led a huge campaign against a Hollywood movie "Captain Marvel" on the basis of Hollywood actress Brie Larson "hating men" the Gonzo Journalism Troll type or conspiracy journalist Laura Loomer seems to be a similar type of activist, the confrontational troll or do they also report truth? there are a very similar bunch of activist, Trump fan, Rush Limbaugh style political activist and internet personality who are in an ideological battle with the Leftwing Antifa BLM Democrat New-Left, the Left vs Right, the New-Conservative vs New-Liberal they almost get into fights when they meet in public.

Television host Phil McGraw—known by his stage name, Dr. Phil
Television host Phil McGraw—known by his stage name, Dr. Phil—sided with Donald Trump on nearly everything during an interview with the newly convicted felon that aired Thursday, calling on President Joe Biden at one point to “stop pursuing” him and saying that only “stupid” people would believe that Biden wasn’t behind his recent conviction.
Dr. Phil is an American talk show created by Oprah Winfrey and the host Phil McGraw. After McGraw's segments on The Oprah Winfrey Show.
McGraw stopped renewing his Texas license to practice psychology in 2006; he has never had a license in California, where his show is taped. In 2002, the California Board of Psychology determined that, because McGraw's television show was more about entertainment than psychology, McGraw did not need a license

There might be propaganda in war...but who knows there is also truth in war.
but You know that super-super mega new Stealth Plane the Russians have, they have not used it much because its so expensive, it might be knowm to the public worldwide culturally in Hollywood entertainment as its shape appears in the recent Top Gun remake film Top Gun Maverick. That same new Russian stealth aircraft it seems to be near Ukraine so it might be in true combat and Public Commercial satellite imagery seems to show Su-57s deployed some 310+ miles or 500 km from Ukraine, the NATO reporting name 'Felon'. Russia was getting ahead of itself saying its not 5th Generation but Russia's future sixth-generation maybe 10th generations combat system, it is never defeated totally super superior supreme...
well it might have been shot down

The US National Debt Clock is a billboard digital display that shows the United States gross national debt and each American family's share of the debt. It is installed on the western side of One Bryant Park, west of Sixth Avenue between 42nd and 43rd Streets in Manhattan, New York City, the first debt clock installed anywhere, George Bush junior broke the number of digits on the debt clock when he sent it from 9 Trillion to 10 Trillion which was outrageous for its time, something that never happened in history...today it is heading to 35 Trillion and beyond.
On the subjects of debt and deficits
Can we start measuring it in AU or Light Years?...and what happens when it gets really crazy, what is Hyperinflation?
Thinking about the scales of Debts and a thin One Dollar Bill Stacked on another One Dollar
Let's stack debt as US Dollar bills
100 Million in debt is 6 miles high, 1 Billions in debt we will stack 60 miles high, Mount Everest is less than 6 miles high...
1 Trillion in debt?
if you stack up One Thousand Times One Billion that is one Trillion of the US Dollar, the thin Dollar stacked on each one goes beyond geosynchronous orbits located around 22,236 miles (35,786 kilometers) it goes 60,000 miles
if you multiply One Trillion by Ten you would get another zero added not 357,860 km but 600,000 miles or 965,606 km
This is the height of the 'Dollar Stack' from Earth to the Moon AND BEYOND !!! is when George Bush junior first broke the US debt clock, 43rd President of the United States from year 2001 to year 2009 and he went far beyond the Moon in US Dollar stack of debt from the Earth to the Moon and beyond.
the U.S. Debt, in the past 20 years has been crazy, 'Astronomical' in size.
from Earth? The average distance between the Earth and the Moon is 384 400 km (238 855 miles) now your Dollar stack it is 3,379,621 million km or 2.1E+06 miles...when we talk in distance of million upon millions then we start using AU and after AU we start using Light Years and Parsecs
The Debt is not twice it is not 3 and a half times the distance of Earth and the Moon itself, it is not five times, the debt is 8.7 times the distance of Earth and the Moon
maybe soon as the decades get more outrageous they can stack the debts to beyond Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, maybe beyond Alpha Centauri and beyond the Galaxy itself?
the Cosmologist types they say the Universe itself is about 13.8 billion years old although JWST is starting to show different readings
but maybe as we keep printing debt perhaps we can go beyond the limits of the known Universe since the Universe itself is only measured in 'Billions' of Parsecs after all.
some debt clocks
It is not just the USA, the Japanese have terrible internal debts and in the Western world itself we are boldly going where no person has gone before
maybe these measurements are better explained by 'time' itself so it took a guy Jeremy Harper almost going insane and 89 days at 16 hours a day to count to a million for charity, if we assume he can count steady and continue living inside some magic robot and just be healthy counting and count just as fast and at the same pace to one Billion it would take him 89,000 + days or 253 years and that is only 1 Billion, the United States isn't even 246 years old.
One Billion in debt stacked by a human counting Dollars is 253 years old.
the next step would be to reach into the Trillions with or without leap year days? 243,835 years is a long time ahead, or maybe rather than go forwards if we go backwards into time -241,835 BC or 241,835 now we go back in time when some debate maybe Mars had flowing water?
5000 BC there might have been some kind of people in Egypt, Greece, in India, China and in northern Mesopotamia...maybe somewhat before true human civilization itself
250,000 years is a long time and that is only counting to One Trillion, we are already moving through Upper Paleolithic era and Middle Paleolithic
