Were you still doing an article on Navy stealth?

  There will be an article covering one particular design from that, but I decided that an article covering the whole “Navy stealth” would just be a mess.

*CRINGE* April 24, 2018
The video link I’d posted a few days ago with Fresno State professor Randa Jarrar inciting violence and terrorism got taken down. So I went looking for a replacement video, and in the process found the video below, which seems to be a complete recording of the “discussion” that was excerpted. I say “seems” because […]
Cometary snow April 24, 2018
Processed Rosetta imagery from 2016. The dots going “down” in the background are stars. The rest… some may be cosmic rays playing hell with the CCD imaging sensor, but note that there certainly seems to be preferential directionality to the streaks, indicating that the spacecraft was flying through a cloud of cometary bits. #ROSETTA 😍 […]
Flashback April 24, 2018
OK, who else here remembers being freaked out by this as a kid?
Some sort of cannon fire? April 23, 2018
This video was recently posted by a woman listening to a repetitive explosive sound. It sounds very much like a large gun of some kind going off at a regular rate (a hail cannon or some such similarly useless device, perhaps). But what does sound strange is the sound *between* the booms, like the cannon […]
This is an outrage April 23, 2018
Ex-NFL player Jay Feely says photo of daughter, prom date and gun was “joke” Wishing my beautiful daughter and her date a great time at prom #BadBoys pic.twitter.com/T5JRZQYq9e — Jay Feely (@jayfeely) April 22, 2018 And so of course people are offended and Mr. Feely has been hectored into issuing an apology. There is a […]
(._. ) I can’t help but think that some of the ads are ill-placed April 23, 2018
So there’s this creepifyin’ news article: A joyful reunion with birth parents leads to incest, murder In short: a young lady finally meets her birth father. Then she marries him. And bears him a kid. Who the father/grandfather kills. Then he kills his daughter, her adoptive father and then himself. Yeeesh. And then there’s the […]
Re-Wilding April 22, 2018
Here’s an interesting thing: Back to the wild! How letting Mother Nature reclaim prime farmland and allowing cattle and ponies to run free produced breathtaking results Short form: If the writer is accurate, there was a 3,500 acre British farm growing barley and maize, and doing a poor job of it. Due to sitting on […]
Guns in the news April 22, 2018
A couple things: CDC, in Surveys It Never Bothered Making Public, Provides More Evidence that Plenty of Americans Innocently Defend Themselves with Guns In the late 1990’s, the CDC did a high-quality survey with this question: “During the last 12 months, have you confronted another person with a firearm, even if you did not fire […]
Who could have possibly seen this coming? April 22, 2018
Ark Encounter’s Latest Attendance Numbers Are Ken Ham’s Nightmare Their stated expectation for annual visits works out to an average of 117,000 per month. What they got: 2017: July: 142,626 August: 106,161 September: 83,330 October: 93,659 November: 51,914 December: 36,472 2018: January: 13,250 February: 17,961 March: 62,251 That’s neat. The question is: what is this […]
“That’s why I’m an academic” April 21, 2018
Fresno State – and it’s donors – must be so proud. Note: again, free speech. But also note, she is caught advocating violence, directly, bombing houses and hijacking airliners. Perhaps this isn’t enough for the cops to get involved, but it does seem like the sort of thing her employer might be interested in. It’s […]
