Police Puzzled by 180 Kilos of SpaceX-Branded Cocaine Found at Crash Site

futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-17 13:06:18

A single-engine plane crashed landed in a field of sugar cane in Brazil over the weekend, according to local news media Alagoas 24 Horas, killing the pilot and leaving behind 180 kilograms — or almost 400 pounds — of cocaine. So far, it just sounds like a tale of drug smuggling gone awry. Except that the coke, stacked together in neat bricks and wrapped in plastic, as shown in a video from local police obtained by Alagoas, sported a distinctive label: the official SpaceX logo, in blue and white

President Donald Trump made countering immigration one of his flagship issues during last year’s presidential campaign, promising an unprecedented number of deportations. In his first eight months in office, that promise turned into around 350,000 deportations, a figure that includes deportations by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (around 200,000), Customs and Border Protection (more than 132,000), and almost 18,000 self-deportations, according to CNN.

In 2024, 20 new US-based spyware investors were identified, bringing the total number of American backers of this technology to 31.

Experts Concerned AI Is Going to Start a Nuclear War

AI is starting to make experts on nuclear deterrence very nervous. Specifically, they say that a widespread push to integrate AI into virtually every level of military decision-making is creating a "slippery slope" in which AI will either be given the power to launch nuclear weapons itself, or the humans with that power will become so reliant on its guidance that they'll do so if it tells them to. Worst of all, they say, is that this is still happening while we still don't quite understand how

In 2011, archaeologists found something unusual in a Roman toilet.

But even at that distance, the space station can’t escape the drag of Earth’s atmosphere as oxygen molecules and other gases collide with it, causing it to lose altitude over time.
