US Vetoes Resolution , to Grant Palestine , Full UN Membership.
On April 18, the United States vetoed a United Nations
resolution that would have allowed Palestine
to become a full United Nations member. .
Associated Press reports that the
widely-supported resolution was backed
by 12 of 15 Security Council members. .
The United Kingdom and Switzerland
both abstained from the vote,
while the U.S. opposed the measure.
AP reports that Palestine's broad support reflects the
growing international concern for Palestinians facing
a humanitarian crisis amid the ongoing war in Gaza.

The resolution would have made Palestine
the 194th member of the United Nations. .
Deputy Ambassador Robert Wood stressed to the
Security Council that the U.S. veto of the resolution... .
... “does not reflect opposition to Palestinian statehood
but instead is an acknowledgment that it will only
come from direct negotiations between the parties.”.
Similarly, deputy State Department
spokesman Vedant Patel said that the U.S. has...
... “been very clear consistently that premature actions
in New York — even with the best intentions — will
not achieve statehood for the Palestinian people.”.
In response to the failed vote, Palestinian U.N.
Ambassador Riyad Mansour told the council that
the decision would not deter the Palestinian people.
The fact that this resolution did not
pass will not break our will and it
will not defeat our determination, Riyad Mansour, Palestinian U.N. Ambassador, via Associated Press.
We will not stop in our effort.
The state of Palestine is inevitable.
It is real. Perhaps they see it as
far away, but we see it as near, Riyad Mansour, Palestinian U.N. Ambassador, via Associated Press

Congress Sends Biden a Bill , That Could Ban TikTok.
Included within Congress' $95 billion national security package is a provision that could
lead to TikTok being banned in America.
Included within Congress' $95 billion national security package is a provision that could
lead to TikTok being banned in America.
However, the ban would take place
after the 2024 election, NBC News reports. .
This means that TikTok could still be used by candidates seeking the nation's highest
office who want to reach younger voters.
This means that TikTok could still be used by candidates seeking the nation's highest
office who want to reach younger voters.
The new bill gives TikTok parent company ByteDance nine months to sell the
platform or be banned in the U.S.
A one-time, 90-day extension can
be granted by the president.
Without an extension, the earliest a ban
could be implemented is January 2025.
Some Democrats say that ByteDance would rather sell TikTok than be banned in America.
TikTok ain’t going away. There is
no more capitalistic entity than
an organization controlled by
the Chinese Communist Party.
They’re going to sell it, Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., a member of the
Armed Services Committee, via NBC News.
Young people will go on their
TikTok tomorrow and they’ll still
have it. And then the day after
that, they’ll still have it. And the
day after that, they’ll still have it.
If you like it, you’re going to keep it, Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., a member of the
Armed Services Committee, via NBC News.
Donald Trump issued a statement seeking to
exploit the development for his own political gain.
Just so everyone knows, especially the
young people, Crooked Joe Biden is
responsible for banning TikTok. He is the one
pushing it to close … Young people, and lots of others, must remember this on November 5th, ELECTION DAY, when they vote!, Donald Trump, via Truth Social

Astronomers Say , Neutron Jet Emissions , Travel at Relativistic Speeds.
Gizmodo reports that new research suggests that
the dense remains of massive stars propel jets of gas and
dust at speeds of hundreds of millions of miles per hour.
Neutron stars are the stellar remains of
some of the densest objects in the universe. .
According to new research, neutron star jets
can travel up to 70,836 miles per hour,
just over one-third the speed of light. .
Relativistic effects like time dilation and length
contraction are believed to occur at speeds
exceeding just one-tenth the speed of light. .
James Miller Jones, , an astrophysicist at Curtin University in
Australia and co-author of the research, .
notes that neutron stars are, "so dense that they can pull material off
the surface of a nearby companion star.".
That gas spirals down onto the surface
of that neutron star where it gets very,
very hot and dense. Once enough of it
builds up nuclear fusion reactions
start to happen on the surface, James Miller Jones, astrophysicist at Curtin University
in Australia and co-author, via 'Gizmodo'.
Using the Australia Telescope Compact Array and the
International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory, researchers found that thermonuclear explosions on
distant stars kickstart these high-speed jet emissions. .
When these explosions occurred, they generated
high-speed jets and bright X-rays which made
it possible for researchers to measure speeds. .
The findings suggest that the staggering
speed of these emissions is close to escape
speed, or the needed velocity for material to
escape the neutron star's gravitational speed. .
Gizmodo reports that the team's results will inform
future models of jet formation and could help reveal
some of the most extreme physics in the universe.

AT&T Confirms Data Breach , Affected 73 Million Customers.
73 million current and former
AT&T customers have had their sensitive
data compromised in a hack that some outlets
say dates back to 2021, Gizmodo reports.
The data, which includes social security numbers, email addresses, birthdates, phone numbers and AT&T account information, .
was located two weeks ago in a data
set released on the dark web.
It's not clear if it was AT&T's systems that were breached or if the information was stolen from one of the company's vendors.
Currently, AT&T does not have evidence
of unauthorized access to its systems
resulting in exfiltration of the data set, AT&T, via statement.
The company is communicating
proactively with those impacted and
will be offering credit monitoring at
our expense where applicable, AT&T, via statement.
As a precaution, AT&T has reset the
passcodes of its current customers. .
The company will be reaching out to customers whose information has been compromised. .
AT&T advises those who are worried about their accounts to monitor activity and credit reports.

The Reason Why, Insects Are Attracted , to Artificial Light.
Gizmodo reports that
researchers believe they finally know
why insects seem to be drawn to lights.
New data suggests that bugs
are not attracted to the light,
as is commonly believed.
Rather, researchers now believe that
based on insects' use of light sources to
orient flight, artificial lights disorient bugs.
The team's findings were published
in the journal 'Nature Communications.'.
This has been a prehistorical
question. In the earliest writings,
people were noticing this around fire. , Jamie Theobald, Biologist at Florida International
University and co-author of the study, via Gizmodo.
It turns out all our
speculations about why it
happens have been wrong, Jamie Theobald, Biologist at Florida International
University and co-author of the study, via Gizmodo.
Researchers note that insects'
"seemingly erratic" flying patterns
are really their failed attempts
to understand the artificial light. .
Rather than steering toward the light, bugs were
seen turning their dorsum, or their backs,
toward the light, attempting to steer by it.
Under natural sky light, tilting
the dorsum towards the brightest
visual hemisphere helps maintain
proper flight attitude and control, Study authors, via Gizmodo.
Near artificial sources,
however, this highly conserved
dorsal-light-response can produce
continuous steering around
the light and trap an insect, Study authors, via Gizmodo
