I liked the original version with Paul Newman and Steve McQueen. But I guess the Chinese felt they needed their own version…
Looks like the fire was mostly external materials. I bet that smoke would do no end of no good to anyone downwind of it.
The school? About to be sued. Family of the bully? Hopefully to be sued into permanent poverty. The bully? Sadly little that can be done, given his juvenile status. But hopefully the internet will remember him when he’s an adult and wants an actual job. Would *you* hire him?
If nothing else, keep this video in mind when deciding on where to permit your kids to be schooled. If something like this happens at a school near you and the perp *isn’t* expelled, make sure your kids don’t go there.

A wholly remarkable shooting caught on camera by a bystander. A crazed guy was shot at point blank range by a cop *twelve* times in the chest before he went down. So, yeah, I’m keeping my standard capacity mags, thanks.

This loss of aircraft and crew didn’t need to happen… two SU-25’s took off at the same time and seemed to clip each other in flight, causing one to promptly crash and explode. Alternative explanation: banking too much, too soon, at too low of an airspeed, causing a wing stall. Gotta wonder if there was a problem with the pilots… either negligence/arrogance in the simultaneous takeoff (showing off?), or perhaps fatigue from nonstop missions against an enemy with a pretty good track record of turning planes like that into smoking ruins.
Just a reminder that the Blyatskrieg is not the only conflict currently ongoing in the region of Europe (more Asian, but close enough):

An unmanned test flight of the New Shepard suffered a catastrophic engine explosion. The capsule seemed to successfully separate and landed normally, but that would have been a *damned* rough ride, with a bunch of eyeballs-out G’s for a few seconds.
On other launch matters: Firefly is gonna try to launch again today, not sure what time:
WHOOPS: scrubbed.
And NASA wants to try to launch Artemis on the 23rd.
Its maiden flight is now tentatively scheduled to take place on:
Since this sort of scene is a common result of certain policies that have been pushed for years now… this is what the people pushing those policies *want.* When I lived in California, I only visited San Francisco a few times… it seemed a weird mix of the classy and the trashy. But that was going on 20 years ago. Any actual “classy” looks to have been swept away, and the “trashy” has devolved directly into third word S-hole status.

Someone looks at things like this and nods in satisfaction.
Entertaining as always, but with a healthy dose of WTFery when he discusses the condition of the Moskva prior to being attacked. It’s… kinda astonishing. A ship that on paper was damned impressive, capable of dishing out heaps of violence, and able to defend itself from heaps of violence, turned out to be almost wholly inoperable. With an unforeseen diversion into the One True Cross, because apparently a chunk of it was on the Moskva. Whoopsie.
Wow. Ummm… time has passed a *lot* faster than i would have expected.

It seems like anytime anyone mentions the new “SAFE-T Act” in Illinois, some reference to “The Purge” is made. What the Act will do, among other things, is end the cash bail system. There are good arguments for and against ending cash bail, where someone can pay a chunk of change to be able to go home and begin work on their defense. But what the Act does is *not* to end bail so that everyone arrested for a crime has to stay in jail, but instead to send a lot of violent offenders straight home. This is part and parcel of the “defund the police” movement and the “abolish prison” movement. It’s a step towards legalizing violent crime.
