The fella on the right seems to have a bright future with the Minoans.

Brandon Herrera walks us through the history and workings of Hiram Maxim’s machine gun… designed waaaaay back in 1884. The period from 1850 to 1950 has got to be the most amazing time in terms of technological advancement actually and obviously changing things, and military tech was a large part of it. Interestingly, what the Maxim did is pretty much exactly what modern machine guns do; the lead it sent downrange would be largely indistinguishable from what a modern gun would send. The difference, of course, is that a modern gun would be *far* simpler and much lighter, thus more practical. Compare to the difference between a musket from 1850 and an M-14 from 1950: there is no comparing what they did.
Which points out the genius of Moses Browning, and why we need a Federal holiday – nay, an entire *month* – to properly celebrate him and his 1911.

The woman who is the subject of this video is *hilarious.* Her basic premise is silly enough, but they way she tries to come off as commanding and threatening, presuming that she has some authority over people who are not her, is knee-slapping.
Even people who are on her side on the Roe issue gotta listen to her and think…

A fan-made trailer for a new “Frasier” series. I’d watch.

Lotsa F-bombs… and lots of good points.
Suggestion: anyone now suggesting gun control should be hauled up in front of the January 6 commission on suspicion of anti-American insurrectionism.

Not being British myself I can’t comment on how accurate this “British Person Simulator” is, but the YouTube commentariat seem pretty uniform in their praise:
“Brittain is my favourite survival horror indie in the past decade, the attention to detail and various references to George Orwell’s works really tie it together.The only thing I would work on is the broken character face rendering which protrudes the teeth way too far out of the face.”
I imagine the “Canadian” and “Australian” simulators are similar horror indies.

The Babylon Bee is at its best when you read one of their satirical articles and realize that if you didn’t know it was satire, you’d accept that it was a real, if perhaps disturbing and/or insane, article. Well… here’s a website that doesn’t seem to say anywhere that it’s satire, and I can’t tell if it’s satire or complete insanity:
https://iqfy.com/
There are a hundred pages of content, with about ten articles per page. A thousand articles of satire is a hell of a commitment to cause… but then, so is a thousand articles of utter nuttery. There are articles such as:
We need to talk about “mental hospitals”—or internment camps for the neurodiverse
Body positivity is for women, not lazy white guys with dad bods
Is coffee racist? How drinking coffee perpetuates white supremacy
Mass shootings have a race—and political party
This dog is the new face of online homophobia
Elon bros are killing us with free speech
Encourage women to smell their poop to be more inclusive to Trans women
If your friend dislikes the term Latinx, sorry, they’re transphobic
Encourage men to pee sitting down to be more inclusive of Trans men
And so on
The site seems to just take whatever “articles” get written and submitted to it. So it may be a fully serious site (a lot of the articles seem fairly normal) that is either:
1) Being bombarded by articles written by loons
2) Being bombarded by articles written by trolls pretending to be loons
3) Being bombarded by both trolls and loons
Either way… I’m all for people paying attention. A bunch of leftwing lunatics who want to tear down civilization? That sort of thing should be noted. Insane trolling proves indistinguishable from honest insanity? That should also be noted.
