This week, the director of the U.S. government’s UFO analysis office stated that there is “evidence” of concerning unidentified flying object activity “in our backyard.” According to physicist Seán Kirkpatrick, who heads the congressionally-mandated All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, this alarming UFO activity can be attributed to one of two extraordinary sources: either a foreign power or “aliens.”

To be sure, the ramifications of either would be significant. But Kirkpatrick’s comments, which come as he is about to retire after a 27-year defense and intelligence-focused career, are more intriguing because he also says that “none” of the hundreds of military UFO reports analyzed by his office recently “have been positively attributed to foreign activities.”

At the same time, Kirkpatrick and senior defense officials have ruled out the possibility that secret U.S. programs or experimental aircraft explain the phenomena.

I've been following the conversation and science about the collapse, and it seems to me like there are more and more people in unrelated communities that seem to be accepting the fact that the way we currently live is unsustainable and will lead to an eventual collapse. I feel like even a couple of months ago, if anyone posted a comment here on Lemmy that mentioned collapse, they'd be laughed out of the room. Now, however, I am constantly seeing comments alluding to it. So what are your thoughts? Are more people starting to take it more seriously?

With all of the horrible stuff happening in the world, I wanted to share something positive. This is our first year with a CSA, and I could not be happier. When we first signed up, they required us to come visit their farm. Our farmers are just a couple and their kids. They grow the majority of their own food, and also feed the local community. The food we get is the tastiest, freshest produce we could ever find (other than growing stuff ourselves). I saw someone posted a fruit cup the other day, and it said something along the lines of being produced on one side of the planet, then shipped half way across the globe to be packaged, then back to be sold in US. Then I thought about our farmers. Our food travels 30 minutes to the farmers' market. That's it. How many emissions would that save if everyone did that? In case any of you are interested, and are in US, you can find your local CSA here: https://www.localharvest.org/csa/

She wears shirts because she has an auto-immune disease that causes her to tear up her skin, so the shirt protects her. It also helps her with her anxiety. She's the sweetest little baby that is also a big goof.

As title says. I miss Karma. Want sweet internet points...

Edit: I deserve the downvotes lol.

Came across this video just now and figured I'd share it here. I am sure folks will be happy to see some of the larger creators who are starting to embrace the Fediverse.

I keep seeing posts with just "rule" in the title and I am pretty sure I missed something. Would anyone care to explain to this millennial boomer what I missed?

I like this platform, and hope it succeeds, however I have a question for the community - what are everyone's thoughts on creators? I am one, for transparency-sake, and I am pretty sure we are not wanted here, since most of us have Adventures/ Art / Battle maps / Patreons / Kickstarters / Products to sell, even though we frequently give a lot of stuff for free to the community. Thoughts?
