General Dynamics is showing off their next-generation main battle tank. And, shockingly, it’s an actual piece of hardware rather than a computer generated bit of flim-flam. If this gets put into production, it will differ from the current Abrams by: an autoloader and a three-man crew rather than four a hybrid engine system, with supposedly…
Putin accuses Ukraine of ‘terrorist act’ in Kerch Bridge blast Somebody needs to explain to Putin that a bridge being used to transport materiel vital to a war effort is a valid target in a war zone, in war time. Unlike, say, slaughtering the civilians in a village.
My late cat Raedthinn also knew how to open doors. He figured it out when I briefly lived in an apartment with door *handles*; he watched me use them, figured out what was going on and would reach up and pull the handle down to open the door. When we got back to door *knobs*…

The Kerch Bridge that connects Russia to Crimea partially collapsed after an explosion – possibly a car bomb – went off overnight. A parallel span with a rail line had a fuel train at the time; several of the tanker cars caught fire. All in all, quite an impressive mess. In related matters, it…
If Putin absolutely loses his mind and decides to nuke UK, how might he go about it? The below analysis assumes a total of two ICBMs are used against the UK. Not to utterly destroy the country, but to turn it into a humanitarian nightmare and distract from Ukraine. Assuming Russia succeeded in setting off…
So long as it was those rubes in Texas and Florida being stuck with the bill, it was fine. But now that New York is getting the *tiniest* fraction of the problem… NYC Mayor Eric Adams declares state of emergency over influx of migrants Boo fricken’ hoo. Suck it up and do your part, Mayor…
