So Musk bought Twitter and laid off something like half the workforce… and Twitter *promptly* failed to implode. It seems to be functioning just fine, indicating that the bulk of those canned were not vital to the operation of the company. Now Google and Meta and a bunch of other tech companies are going through…
So California, Gun Free State, has it’s second mass shooting in a handfull of days. And… it’s another old Asian guy. 7 Dead, 1 Injured in Half Moon Bay Mass Shooting; Suspect in Custody Authorities identified the suspect as 67-year-old Half Moon Bay resident Chunli Zhao. Also, (apparently) not an Evil Black Rifle: A…
A 1950’s film describing the “Lobber” rocket from Convair. This was a small battlefield cargo delivery system… rations, medical supplies, ammo, that sort of thing. Kind of a neat idea, but obviously it didn’t go into service. The ability to launch 50 pounds of stuff eight miles just wasn’t that spectacular when cargo planes could…

This *promptly* led to the usual incredibly predictable takes: 1) Booga booga white supremacy 2) Argle bargle we needs more gun control Well… whoopsie: Man found dead after police standoff in Torrance was the Monterey Park shooting…
Every time one of these narcissistic videos comes out from someone “working” at a tech company, there is *vastly* more time spent yapping on about the food they seem to be constantly consuming than the work they seem to take no interest in. Note that even in the second video, the “oops, I’ve been laid…
A YouTube video discussing the time between the cancellation of Star Trek and The Motion Picture. It would be an era unimaginable to fans of a just-cancelled franchise today: back then, you either saw the showed when it aired, or you didn’t. Until it hit syndication, there was for all intents and purposes no way…
Note that this was a “voluntary” search, not a “raid.” Which means there had been time and opportunity to dispose of things, and yet the FBI *still* found classified material. FBI searches Biden’s Wilmington home and finds more classified materials the DOJ “requested that the search not be made public in advance, in…
Billy the cat spent a good long while in quarantine. He started off with a pretty bad upper respiratory infection, treated with antibiotics; this took more than a week to clear up. He also had ear mites, treated with drops. He only left quarantine and entered gen pop on Wednesday. Billy is quite aggressively…
Virginia boy who shot teacher Abigail Zwerner told another he was going to set her on fire The *six* year old who shot his teacher a while back seems to have been a real charmer. He had a history of being someone who should have been drop-kicked out of a public school classroom directly into…
