"The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, a roughly $4 billion project, was carried aloft from NASA's Kennedy Space Center aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket through blue skies just after sunrise, embarking on a potentially decade-long observation mission."
"Roman will travel through space toward an orbital location called Lagrange Point 2, situated about a million miles (1.6 million km) from Earth."
"'Roman has broadly the same sensitivity and sharpness of vision as Hubble, but we survey the sky much faster...'"
"McEnery said one month of Roman observations can survey our entire home galaxy."
"Its main survey, to take more than a year to complete, will cover more than two billion galaxies."
"Roman also will conduct one of the most comprehensive searches ever for exoplanets. It is expected to discover thousands of new ones and provide the first statistical census of planetary systems similar to our own."

"A South Carolina police officer died and a second was injured in a 'gunfight' Saturday in a park, following a call about a domestic dispute, the police chief in Columbia said."
"The deceased officer, 29-year-old Christopher DeLong, had been with the police department for two years and leaves behind a wife and two young children, Holbrook said."
"The suspect was Adam Tyler Dowdy, a man with a history of arrests across at least four states who had faced charges including disorderly conduct, contempt of court, public intoxication, possession of a controlled substance and probation violations, the chief said."

"A major flash flood at the Grand Canyon forced the evacuation of dozens of people and swept large boulders, metal structures and other debris into the Colorado River that runs through it, the National Park Service said.
"The flooding in Bright Angel Creek, which flows into the river, happened Saturday afternoon and has left the park service seeking information about 15 people who may be missing or unaccounted for.
"Torrents of water wiped out footbridges over the creek and significantly altered the landscape, widening the creek bed and creating what appeared to be a new river rapid."

"Venezuelan interim President Delcy Rodriguez said on Saturday that an energy agreement with the U.S. would remain in force for 25 years, target an increase in crude output to 1.5 million barrels per day (bpd) and preserve the country's sovereignty over its natural resources."

"Government can't leave people alone, because the essence of government, the very nature of government, is control, force, and power, not freedom. There has never been a government yet that wanted its people to be free from government control. That just isn't what government is all about. Our Founders knew that, and that is why they desperately tried to limit government and teach Americans what true freedom is. But, alas, they were defeated by the nature of man and history. But this is why Thomas Jefferson said, 'The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first.' Again, criminals take from us, limiting our freedom; so does government."
"Countless people are simply constitutionally, mentally, and spiritually incapable of taking care of themselves. We say we hate slavery; it's supposedly the greatest crime in human history, but frankly, all many Americans have done is exchange one form of slavery — personal chattel slavery — for something similar — government dependence. And called it 'freedom.' Control the language, and you control the people."

Empires Fall Because Their People Have No Clue It’s Happening
Explore why empires collapse when citizens fail to recognize the decline around them.

"What are those fears? Some are obvious, like the fear that an AI-powered economy will eliminate most jobs and productive work, and that ordinary people will be rendered unable to contribute economically, reduced to subsisting on a universal basic income."
"Yet we sense, on a gut level, that the end of work in America would destroy our country and make life miserable. It would, at a minimum, mean the end of political liberty or anything like self-government. Citizens who cannot support themselves through productive work and the ownership of property are not citizens at all, but dependents. It would also mean the end of free speech for the obvious reason that an AI-managed and curated public square will be incompatible with free expression."
"But the elimination of jobs and the destruction of political freedom is not the only fear lurking in the minds of AI skeptics. A deeper fear, perhaps harder to articulate, is that of rapid and uncontrollable technological change that AI will likely bring about. That fear in turn is twofold: fear of the unknown and unstable future AI will create, and fear of the known aspects of the digital revolution that AI will supercharge."
"...men age 18 to 29 'have been hit hardest by the proliferation of gambling apps, prediction markets, chatbot companions, digital tokens, and harmful substances.' Among this cohort, 'Forty-three percent agree that "I am inclined to think that I am a failure." Sixty-one percent say they often feel they have little control over the things that happen to them. Almost half agree that they will never achieve the American dream.”
"The vices and struggles are different for women but no less dispiriting. Rampant use of SSRIs, substance abuse, and rates of anxiety and depression among young women tell a similar tale."
"If the tech right wants to make a persuasive case, it will have to address the actual fears that people harbor about being left naked before the rapacious forces of the AI revolution — a revolution no one understands and no one can control."

Opposition To Data Centers Isn't What The Tech Right Thinks It Is
It’s not the data centers themselves that people fear, it’s the AI revolution they will enable. That’s what no one wants to talk about.
