Further Third Worldification of American cities… You’d think they’d at least try to clean up the area around the White House. Maybe even try to mask the damage caused by the anti-Trump insurrectionists several years ago. Nope.
Russia warns West: We can target your commercial satellites Konstantin Vorontsov, deputy director of the Russian foreign ministry’s department for non-proliferation and arms control, told the United Nations that the United States and its allies were trying to use space to enforce Western dominance. “Quasi-civilian infrastructure may be a legitimate target for a retaliatory strike,”…
There’s lots of awful in this story. One aspect of awful: a man hunting mushrooms stumbled across a suitcase and found a dead five-year-old in it. That’s gotta leave a mark. “Lil feller.” This guy, a pretty good replica of Wilford Brimley, seems like a good man. The kid was killed by his mother who…
The most recently finished diagram took several days. The references were clear and detailed… and difficult to suss out in some ways, a common issue with aircraft that had deployable bits.
It’s a long video, but it’s interesting to listen to an artist rail against AI text-to-image art generators. The guy knows that his field is as endangered as a factory workers; even if AI never get *quite* as good as human artists (doubtful), the sheer volume of art – images, music, videos, whole movies –…
Yeah… no. It seems that whole swathes of LA have been turned into the Third World. This was not a sad inevitability; this was a result of intentional choices by those in charge of the city, county and state. Yeeeeeeesh. You can’t have vast numbers of homeless like this and justify open borders.
It is hard these days to separate Hitler from the occult. Regardless of how much Adolf *actually* believed in Atlantis or Vril or Hyperborea or Ancient Aryan Supermen or all that rubbish, it is now just accepted that he did, and that those beliefs informed his nutty plans and actions. Did he really think that…
Bell artwork circa 1983 depicting the proposed JVX tiltrotor, which would become the V-22 Osprey. The cockpit and the sponsons display the greatest obvious differences from the aircraft that would eventually be built, but the design seems to be largely just about there.
X-chromosome variants help explain autism’s sex bias A male is more likely to have autism (and a few other “neurodivergences”) than females. There is now a genetic explanation for at least part of this bias. One possible explanation is that boys, who typically have only one X chromosome, cannot compensate for an altered copy of…
So, antiAmerican American Brittney Griner was arrested a long time ago trying to bring illegal substances into Russia. This is not really a debatable point; Griner admitted it. You can argue whether or not its appropriate that hash oil should be illegal or not, but in Russia, it is. And it’s not a profoundly stupid…
