We have just proven that we can deflect asteroids.
Ever since NASA crashed the DART probe into this asteroid's little moon, we've been tracking the result. Now we know its 770-day orbit around the Sun changed by enough to defend our Earth.
The dinosaurs wish they'd had a space program!

Pete Hegseth spent 93 billion dollars of taxpayer money on steak, lobster, and crab in Sept 2025. MAGA that’s where your tax dollars are going while you struggle to buy groceries!

I would Love to see this happen to some internet presences who keep pushing vinegar-for-everything solutions.
Using it in the washer Will eat at plastic pipes.
Using it as lawn herbicide ignores how it can get washed under sidewalks to poison flower beds. This one probs uses vegetable oil.

The UCP is blaming the huge municipal tax increase on Albertans asking for more schools and more supports. The part they aren’t saying out loud is how much is funnelled to charter and private schools. Our public tax dollars should NOT be used in this way. Where is the outrage!?
