Nextdoor App or Stanford Prison Experiment?
1. It was founded in Silicon Valley with the sole purpose of amassing a bunch of prospective sociopaths together in one centralized location.
2. It tends to attract Machiavellian-type individuals looking to instill the fear of God in the people.
3. Netflix could make a documentary about it with the tagline “Do you really know your neighbor…?”
4. My stepdad is obsessed with it.
5. It is a microcosm of human psychology that pits average Joes against one another so outside observers can sit around and comment on it.
6. The main byproduct is turning a small community of relative strangers into a gladiatorial arena of imaginary power dynamics.
7. It’s not unusual to hear arguments about curfews, behavioral expectations, and how loud people are during outdoor recreational time.
8. Those not involved think they would be immune, but once you’re in it there is no stopping you from becoming a monstrous pseudo-tyrant almost immediately.
9. Participants are 99.9 percent white boomers.
10. It is widely panned by the world’s leading experts as a deeply unethical endeavor, but it provides endless hours of entertaining reading.

I’m going to tell you about the craziest proposal for an astrophysics mission that has a good chance of actually happening. A train of spacecraft sailing the sun’s light to a magical point out there in space where the Sun’s own gravity turns it into a gigantic lens. What could such a solar-system-sized telescope do? Pretty much anything. But definitely map the surfaces of alien worlds.

NASA’s Space Weapon Changes Asteroid Orbit By 32 Minutes After Successful 14,000 Mph Hit
After it successfully collided with an asteroid late last month, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) was successfully able to change the asteroid's orbit confirmed the space agency earlier today. The test was the first of its kind conducted by any space agency on Earth, and its aim was to test whether humans could alter the trajectory of potentially threatening objects, such as asteroids if they were to pose a threat to Earth.
The mission saw NASA's DART impactor spacecraft smash into the Didymos asteroid system's moonlet asteroid Dimorphus, and fresh data from the agency reveals that the impact managed to reduce the moonlet's orbit around its parent asteroid by more than half an hour.
NASA Confirms DART Spacecraft Exceeds Success Criteria By More Than 25 Times
Before it flew the DART spacecraft thousands of miles away from Earth towards the Didymos asteroid system, NASA's criteria had outlined that a successful test would see the moonlet asteroid's path change by 75 seconds. The mission involved NASA's impactor spacecraft colliding with the moonlet asteroid Dimorphus, as it used the parent asteroid Didymos to orient itself just an hour or so before impact.
Footage of the impact that became available soon after impact had shown a strain of rocks training the moonlet asteroids which indicated that the damage had been done. Now, roughly two weeks after impact, NASA has confirmed that the mission was successful, and Dimorphus orbit was altered by 32 minutes due to the impact which took place at an eye popping speed of 14,000 miles per hour.
According to NASA, prior to the impact, the moonlet asteroid took 11 hours and 55 minutes to orbit the parent asteroids. After the DART collision, this time dropped to 11 hours and 23 minutes for a 32 minute change which exceed the test's success criteria by more than 25 times.
However, NASA astronomers aren't done with the asteroid system just yet. After confirming that the test was a success, they are now focusing on the rocks ejected from the asteroid post-collision. Due to the emptiness of space, the force of this plume of rocks also 'pushed' the asteroid forward and helped change its orbit.
The astronomer will continue to view the images sent out by DART's companion imaging satellite developed by the Italian Space Agency. This will enable them to analyze the moonlet asteroid's shape and mass. Other issues that they are studying involve analyzing Dimorphos's surface texture.. Not all asteroids are made of hard rock, and some have a soft, sponge like surface as well.
NASA's successful DART mission came as a nice distraction from the agency's repeated attempts to launch its Space Launch System (SLS) rocket. After struggling with seals that connected the rocket to its launch tower, engineers were willing to give the rocket another try when disaster struck in the form of Hurricane Ian and forced NASA to roll the rocket back to its vehicle assembly building. The next Artemis 1 launch attempt is slated for November, and if successful, then it will kickstart NASA's Artemis program that seeks to establish a permanent presence on the Moon.

Introducing the COVID-19 Web Archive
We are pleased to announce that the COVID-19 Web Archive is now available! As the COVID-19 pandemic emerged in early 2020, librarians, archivists, and others with interest in preserving cultural heritage began documenting the personal, cultural, and societal impact of the global pandemic on their communities. These efforts included creating archival collections preserving physical, digital, and web-based records and information for use by students, scholars, and citizens. In response to this immediate need for archiving resources by both libraries and memory institutions, the Internet Archive’s Archive-It service launched a COVID-19 Web Archiving Special Campaign in April 2020 providing free and subsidized tools, training, and community support to institutions and local efforts to preserve web-published materials documenting the COVID-19 pandemic.
The COVID-19 Web Archive builds on this curatorial work to gather together more than 160 web archive collections created by more than 125 libraries, archives, and cultural heritage organizations into a shared access portal built and maintained by the Internet Archive. The COVID-19 Web Archive currently totals nearly 90 terabytes of archived data composed of over 1.5 billion webpages and allows for full text, metadata, and media search within individual collections and across the entire archive. The archive will be continuously updated over time. If you have a collection you’d like to include in the portal, please contact us at covidwebarchive@archive.org.
Collections document the pandemic from a number of different perspectives, including:
- Athens Regional Library System’s Athens, Georgia Area COVID-19 Response collection, which highlights “the local response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in Athens, Georgia. Included are communications from Athens-Clarke County government, communications from Clarke County School District, fundraisers for local businesses, ‘Band Together’ showcases, and various other items that are related to the local response.”
- University of British Columbia’s COVID-19, Racism, and Asian Communities collection, which documents incidents of racism against the Asian communities in Canada, related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
- New York University’s Tamiment Wagner: NYC COVID-19 Web Activism collection, which “documents activists’ use of social media and the internet to create content, online campaigns, online actions, virtual mutual aid networks and funds to highlight, resist, and call attention to ways in which COVID-19 has impacted New York City physically, emotionally, politically, and economically.”
- Pennsylvania Horticultural Society’s COVID-19 Collection, “focus[ed] on the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society’s programmatic COVID-19 response via #GrowTogetherPHS, a campaign to engage our audiences in gardening at home.”
The browsing and searching capabilities available on the COVID-19 Web Archive website will soon be augmented by the availability of public datasets, as well as a series of in-person and virtual data analysis workshops which will facilitate a myriad of potential avenues for research use of web archives. A number of research projects and use cases for COVID-19-related web archives have already emerged from the work of ARCH (Archives Research Compute Hub) cohort program members in 2021-2022.
If you are interested in learning more about the COVID-19 Web Archive and associated research opportunities, we are holding an informational webinar on Thursday, October 27 at 11am PT. The session will be recorded and made publicly available, but we encourage you to register here to attend the live webinar.
The COVID-19 Web Archive was made possible with generous support from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) as part of their American Rescue Plan grant program.
