So some guy makes an animation of a cartoonish aircraft. Fine, great, wonderful. But it’s getting an unreasonable amount of press from mainstream media who think that this is actually a serious “design” rather than what it is… just a cartoon.

Concept Video Imagines a Giant Nuclear-Powered Sky Hotel Airplane

Would You Take A Sky Cruise In A Nuclear Powered Flying Hotel?

It may or may not be good from a modeling and animation point of view, but it is clearly not something to be taken even remotely seriously from an engineering point of view. You might as well debate the merits of a spaceship that showed up in a “Far Side” comic.

This is modern “journalism.” The same trade that’s telling us that Trump “lunged” from the back of a limo and tried to yoink the steering wheel. Same people told us to believe without evidence “Russia collusion” and “Jan 6 was worse than 9-11.”

Who thinks it’s a good idea to glue yourself to the road???

 

Several commenters on that twitter thread point out that the guy comes off like one of those wussy, lazy, unmanly and cowardly soccer players that help to make the game so unwatchable:

Her explanation fits *me* precisely. I do not and have never had a religious objection to abortion. I was for a quite a while on the “meh” side of the argument. What flipped me? The Moloch-worshipping (and that’s not even my religion) baby-haters, losing their minds and turning something that *should* be seen as at best unfortunate into something they are *proud* of.

UPDATE: The account was made private, even though the creator said nothing even remotely crazy. I suspect The Usual Suspects started getting threatening.

UPDATED UPDATE: The account seems to have been un-privated.

The Supreme Court overturning Roe vs. Wade has brought out the hateful and violent rhetoric of many on the Left in *spades.* Go peruse Libs of TikTok for a plethora of examples of death threats,  advocations of assassinations, etc. Far too many to post here.

That said, there is one particular story that is instructive on several levels: a registered nurse claimed that she bases her medication prescriptions not on the needs of the patient, but on their race and politics. Good news/bad news: The bad is that there are such hateful people out there. The good is that they often publicly tout their badness. The double-plus bad is that they feel safe and comfortable doing so, because they know that since they are on the politically correct side, their malfeasance will often be ignored. They can get away with doing what they’re doing.

 

She felt comfortable enough to say it publicly. How long has she been actually *doing* it?

Well, there is some double-plus good news:

“Resigned.” Yeah, I kinda expect that she was pushed out the door. And I kinda expect that the hospital now has *all* of their lawyers working overtime, poring through every last record of every last patient this twit had anything to do with. Were you one of her patients? Did anything seem a  little off? Were the meds she prescribed not quite right, or didn’t quite do the job? Yeah… lawsuits are coming.
