FAA just announced a 10 day emergency temporary restricted area for a 10 mile radius around El Paso. No flights are permitted from ground level to 18000 feet, grounding all flights to/from the El Paso airport (KELP).
Designed as “national defense airspace”, with “deadly force authorized if aircraft determined to pose a security threat”.
No reason given

@mattblaze I think the red flag exercise is running at the moment, which I think is in that area of the world
Scratch that, Red flag is Nevada (Nellis)

Fort Bliss / Briggs Army Airfield is within the restricted area, which may or may not be related.

@ben yeah, almost definitely not that. This was sudden and closes a large civil airport.

This is very unusual. Aside from the disruption- it closes a large metropolitan airport for 10 days- no advance notice was given. So this isn’t for some planned event or operation.

@mattblaze
Shutting down a major international airport for 10 days is insane. It'll be impacting something in the neighborhood of 100,000 passengers, plus medical flights, etc. -

Only "rational" explanation I can come up with is using it to launch a war with Mexico, seize some territory or whatever, being as it's right on the border. But that's not rational either 😬 -

@mattblaze is that where they were shipping immigrants? Response to ice?

The current administration is very far from rational. -

@mattblaze Because of the base that ICE established at Fort Bliss?

@mattblaze Struck me as highly atypical as well. Are you aware of a precedent (beyond 9/11, if even that was)?

I just hope it's not an attempt to stave off a new pandemic of some kind.

@mattblaze Probably another Trump whim.

@joyce @mattblaze @douglevin sadly I think the people in charge don't care about pandemics so that probably isn't it. Maybe we're invading Mexico 🤪 Pretty disturbing they didn't provide a reason

@Jennifer @mattblaze @douglevin
You're probably right. Just an early-morning scary thought.

@mattblaze - Yeah, this is weird. The airport didn't know why. The city govt didnt know why. Even the FAA's own Special Operations Support Center didnt know why.
The abruptness and lack of coordination - on top of the length of period and complete lockdown even of medical, military, and police (in addition to cargo and passenger) air - is astounding.

@mattblaze - My gut tells me this is probably being done for some stupid or contrived (or at least blown out of proportion) reason. Whoever (full chain of command such as it is) issued this probably doesnt know or care about the consequences and ramifications of these actions.
But I have no idea.
Hide and watch for the time being, I guess.

@peterkotrcka yes, that's a great song. Renato Zero is a great artist. Songs like "I migliori anni della nostra vita", "Buon compleanno" and "Il Cielo" have been extremely important, in my life.
Buon compleanno is tied to a specific memory of many, many years ago, that is still able to trigger some strange sensations even today.

@aeva @memoriesin8bit I know right? And the horror of book series! They have like 20 parts! Ahhh!
In all seriousness, I think this movement comes from the fact we are all actually kinda broke as gamers in a world with more games then ever before, and staring at new releases as a tax for "keeping up with friends playing the new things". A lot of social pressure outside is making it seem we are priced out. When in fact games even at 80 are way cheaper. But number got big looking, you know?

Allarme o il solito marketing non convenzionale di Anthropic? Il messaggio di addio del Responsabile Safeguards Research Team di Claude
"Il mondo è in pericolo. E non solo per l’IA o per le bioweapon, ma per un’intera serie di crisi interconnesse che si stanno svolgendo proprio in questo momento.
...durante il mio tempo qui, ho visto quanto sia difficile far sì che i nostri valori guidino davvero le nostre azioni".

@peterkotrcka which one?

@darkgriffin Ah so maybe I misunderstand how the game works then. I was under the impression that each different part of the Remake essentially covers a third of what was the original story. In which case I would have needed to play all three to get the full story.
