On the “prepare 3 days worth of rations, in case of emergency” — I keep seeing people ask “what they know” — but it’s not some secret, these threats or a combination of them have all been hurtling towards us:
FOOD AND CLIMATE
• El Niño crop failures, worsened by fertiliser shortages and storms
• Extreme heat and flooding hitting already fragile food systems
WAR
• Trump loses the midterms badly, then attacks Iran again, risking nuclear war
• Wider escalation involving Russia or China
TECHNOLOGY
• An AI-engineered bioweapon
• AI-enabled attacks on national infrastructure
• AI job loss on a massive scale, with no plan for unemployment, leading to mass social conflict
DISEASE
• Pneumonic plague that appeared in Russia, in the news for a day, then dropped
• Antimicrobial resistance
• Weakened pandemic response as aid budgets are cut
INSTITUTIONS AND ECONOMY
• Collapse of the UN and the humanitarian system, leading to mass refugee flows and global instability
• Another massive and worse sovereign debt or financial crisis
I don't know which tweet it was. Someone just blocked me for killing animals since I was a kid for fun. Obviously wrong, I was raised on wild game, dad had 4 USAF brats to feed. First gun class at 12yo before I could shoot. I have to cut this short, not paying musk!
"We have 26 years of school homicides in our database, nearly 400 cases. And this is the first time a civilian shot and stopped the attacker," says James Densley of the Violence Prevention Project.
The #Seahawks are signing RB Robert Henry Jr. to their active roster off the #Commanders practice squad.
Henry was a UDFA out of UTSA this past spring, where he earned First-Team All-American Conference honors.

As @realDonaldTrump tries to blame Obama for this response to #COVIDー19, the truth is Bolton got rid of Pandemic team.
A playbook was left for Trump to follow during a pandemic that was written after Ebola, it laid the out lines for test & #PPE.
