The policies that the British government have enacted over recent years of allowing the mass invasion of Britain are, it seems, finally getting the British citizens mad enough to, maybe, do something about it. Britain seems to have a number of problems, including but not limited to: 1) Their National Health Service provide free health…
Researching a forthcoming book, I requested a book through the interlibrary loan system. I was a little sad to see that it has only been checked out three times in the last fifty+ years, with me being the third. The first time was in 1970, which didn’t surprise me a whole lot. But what’s weird…
Alex Stein took his show on the road to mock armed Antifa LARPER whackos to their faces. The one thing I wish he’d done is zoom in on their firearms and try to obtain serial numbers. Not because there’d be anything to do with that data, really, but the effort of obtaining it would likely…
With all the freaking out about whether AI will replace human endeavor… rarely is it asked “Do we suck? Should the machines take over?” A case can be made.

The National Reconnaissance Office is starting a series on the history of the Manned Orbiting Laboratory, a small space lab that was designed in the early/mid 1960s for the Air Force. Officially just a basic space lab, in reality it was an advanced (for the time) spy satellite. So far there is only Part One…
So Elon Musk posted some photos of a recent “code review” at Twitter. One photo in particular has some people upset… because the people who are there doing actual work seem to be… well, take a look: https://twitter.com/iOnlyBvz/status/1593899565169758208 If you read the Twitter comments, you’ll see that some people are upset…
A mere sixteen years ago I posted artwork of the Martin “EGRESS” ejection capsule meant to fling crew from a stricken spacecraft anywhere up to and including orbit. Those scans came from photocopies of a conference paper. I have at last now scanned the same work, producing slightly better results. The artwork is remarkable for…
AI Drew This Gorgeous Comic Series. You’d Never Know It There are two points that I think should be noted: First: “AI image generation is advancing so rapidly, he adds, that The Lesson, out Nov. 1, marks a clear visual step up from the first comic in the trilogy, Summer Island, a folk-horror…
Another early 80s advanced fighter concept from Boeing. This one used Viggen-like close coupled canards and vectorable 2D exhaust nozzles for aerial agility. Stealth seems to have been a minimal concern, with performance being more important. The inlets and overall aerodynamcis suggest supersonic cruise. Four sizable missiles – possible SRAM nuclear-tipped surface attack missiles –…
