UC Irvine aims to transform public health with record-breaking $200-million donation The donation comes with a bit of a hitch: it’s to be used to promote homeopathy. On Monday, UC Irvine Chancellor Howard Gillman announced that the Samuelis have donated $200 million to launch what he billed as the nation’s first universitywide enterprise to embed […]
Service Critters vs Crazy People September 22, 2017
There is a time and a place for critters. My cats, for instance: their place is “my house” and their time is “all the time, because this is their house too.” But their place is *not,* say, the grocery store or the restaurant. Nor is it appropriate for women to take their genetic mutant fishbait […]

You really want to impress the guys? Mount a 105 mm Howitzer in the back of your truck. Giggity! This Humvee-Mounted Howitzer Is Here To “Shoot and Scoot” It uses a special recoil dampening system that works well enough to allow the cannon to be mounted in the bed of a Ford F-250 pickup truck […]

Imitation is the sincerest form of rocketry September 20, 2017
In the footsteps of SpaceX: Chinese company eyes development of reusable rocket A private Chinese company wants to build a reusable rocket that looks a *lot* like the Falcon 9. Refreshingly, they at least acknowledge that they’re basically copying SpaceX. It uses the same recovery system as the Falcon 9, roughly the same landing gear, […]
That’s just… ugh… September 19, 2017
Feel free to insert your preferred political rant HERE. I’m’a go with “something something anti-science where are Penn & Teller…” Psychic Vampire Repellent A spray-able elixir we can all get behind, this protective mist uses a combination of gem healing and deeply aromatic therapeutic oils, reported to banish bad vibes (and shield you from the […]

Dyna Soar on an Atlas September 19, 2017
A rare piece of color art of an early Dyna Soar being lofted atop an Atlas/Centaur. Color artwork of the Dyna Soar was created in some considerable abundance, but it was mostly reproduced in B&W, and its sadly rare for even those B&W reports to have been printed well, rarer still for them to have […]
The best thing you’ll see today September 19, 2017
So, the Nancy Pelosi Life Model Decoy was trying to have a press conference about DACA when it was invaded by a group of Borg drones who want to legalize *all* illegal aliens. You can tell that the PelosiLMD hadn’t been programmed on how to respond to having her own natural constituency come and shout […]
