In the 1970’s the CIA wanted to field recon drones that would be visually indistinguishable from birds (at least from a distance), under Project Aquiline. While Aquiline was *apparently* not successful, other bird-shaped drone have been developed over the years, with some crashed and captured examples shown to the press. Thanks to modern tech, the average citizen is now able to have a drone that would be just as good as Aquiline, at least from the design standpoint.

If you have a few minutes to kill and want to learn some disturbing facts about the horrible, horrible animals that evolution saw fit to plop down onto the planet, “Casual Geographic” is the YouTuber for you.

Rescue dogs shot dead by NSW council due to COVID-19 restrictions
Several impounded dogs due to be rescued by a shelter have instead been shot dead by a rural council in NSW under its interpretation of COVID-19 restrictions, alarming animal activists and prompting a government probe.
Bourke Shire Council, in the state’s north-west, killed the dogs to prevent volunteers at a Cobar-based animal shelter from travelling to pick up the animals last week, according to council’s watchdog, the Office of Local Government.
