Even though Saturn is 1.26 billion kms from Earth, this beautiful planet was as close to Earth as it gets this year making it appear big and bright. This is called opposition, which happened last night (October 4th). I used my 16 inch telescope. #astrophotography #astronomy #saturn
Planet Saturn at opposition on October 4, 2026. Rings are brighter than usual because they are reflecting the Sun's light while at opposition. Taken with a 16 inch telescope.

Somehow I got on a bunch of MAGA text lists. Does this type of shit motivate anyone? Are there MAGAts out there just rushing to get their name on the thank-you card: "I gotta make sure Elon sees my name on there!" Worth noting that *none* of the stuff I get talks about any specific issue.

Gift link to article in OP
Susan Del Percio, a longtime Republican strategist, told me that even Trump supporters who are concerned about the economy feel that the president no longer cares about them. "Voters are angry because they are hurting, and through his actions, Trump is telling them that he doesn't give a damnịẠỊshe said.
This week featured another event that likely will not land well with Americans who are struggling financially. Trump presided over a "Golden Age" event that featured business leaders and billionaires-and no talk of affordability challenges. Once more, Trump defended Al and even boasted that it would power a new government-services website. He then joked about where it stood among his accomplishments, saying, "If it is the biggest thing I've ever done, I've done a shitty job as president."
You can bet Democrats will grab that one too.

The U.S. AI industry is being run by a batshit rationalist sex cult, and no, I am not being hyperbolic - they’re genuinely Like That:
Erin Redwing
@realizingerin
I went to an rationalist/EA Al doomer event last night with the goal of meeting someone who could calmly explain to me the argument for how they get to the conclusion that Al will kill everyone.
Because these are rationalists, I expected to find people who could lay out a serious extinction pathway, walk through the assumptions and intermediate steps, identify choke points where negative pathways could potentially be regulated, and entertain disagreement about where their assumptions might break down.
My experience was the exact opposite.
The people I spoke to seemed psychologically unable to entertain the possibility that their conclusion (that Al literally kills everyone, which was a point that many would not even budge on) might be wrong.
Their most extreme conclusion was treated as an axiom.
I had multiple people walk out of conversations with me when I questioned their inevitable extinction premise.
At one point during a panel, the moderator asked everyone in the audience who was still skeptical of Al doom to raise their hands. About half the room did. He then told all of the skeptics to leave the panel and go with one of the speakers, who would answer their questions separately. They filtered out all the skeptics, and continued the panel only with the subset who accepted their extreme position.
I genuinely felt like a heretic just for questioning whether superintelligent Al inevitably leads to the extinction of humanity, or entertaining the possibility that the future might actually turn out well.
That does not mean Al safety is fake. Obviously there are serious questions about rapidly advancing Al systems and what happens as they become much more capable. Those are exactly the conversations I went there hoping to have.
But what I encountered was an apocalyptic death cult. These people are not rational. They are deeply afraid, they reinforce that fear in one another, and they have become so emotionally committed to apocalypse
