There seems to be a race to see who can prop up the absolutely *dumbest* possible ideas, backed up by lies and distortions. In this era of “hands up don’t shoot” and setting cities on fire for racial justice (i.e. communism), let’s not forget that there’s a particular form of dishonest dumb that has been around for more than a century, continues to be dishonest and dumb, and just refuses to go the frak away: young-Earth creationists.

Origin of Tectonic Plates Best Explained by the Flood

Because *of* *course* they believe that anything that science cannot currently explain with absolute certainty – and many things that it can – can only be explained by bronze-age sheep herders.

We’re Raising Our Daughter Gender-Neutral, but She Only Wants Pink Dresses

Where did we mess up?

Great googaly moogaly. Where did you mess up? In thinking that humans are gender neutral. We’re not.

Where did you mess up? When you listened to the crazed lunatics who think that girls aren’t necessarily girls and that boys aren’t necessarily boys. They *are,* with a tiny fraction falling outside the norm. The numbers only get bumped up when children are taught to not just ignore reality but to defy it, that two plus two equals five and that the patriarchy is the enemy.

And who do the cops arrest? The driver of the car that was set upon and chased down the street and set upon *again* by a pack of violent racist terrorists.

One wonders how self-driving cars will deal with the new reality that the leftists want to create. One also wonders what cities like LA will be like when all the people who can move away, do move away.

I don’t have Disney+ and haven’t seen “The Mandalorian” and don’t have $350 to throw around on a toy. And yet….

Star Wars The Vintage Collection Razor Crest

Hasbro is crowdfunding the development of a thirty-inch long 1/18 scale replica of the Razor Crest. It seems to currently exist only as a computer model, but even so it looks friggen spectacular. They want 6,000 backers by November 9; as of this writing they have 3,257. I have little doubt that they’ll blow right past that goal, since the crowdfunding effort seems to have started just a few hours ago.

There’s a better version of this video at the Hasbro link above, but this seems to be the best embeddable YouTube version currently available:

Nothing to worry about at all.

Revised Statement Of U.S. Attorney Freed On Inquiry Into Reports Of Potential Issues With Mail-In Ballots

At this point we can confirm that a small number of military ballots were discarded. Investigators have recovered nine ballots at this time. Some of those ballots can be attributed to specific voters and some cannot. Of the nine ballots that were discarded and then recovered, 7 were cast for presidential candidate Donald Trump. Two of the discarded ballots had been resealed inside their appropriate envelopes by Luzerne elections staff prior to recovery by the FBI and the contents of those 2 ballots are unknown.

Sure, it’s only 9 ballots. The fact that seven of the nine – and possibly eight, and possibly nine – just happen to be for Trump? Pure random chance. Nothing to worry about. Move along, citizen, nothing to see here.

The USPS is *clearly* secure. It’s safe to send your votes through the mail. Hell, mail your babies! It’s that safe!

Or at least try to:

Police: Suspected arson levels garage at home with ‘Trump 2020’ flags

The Minneapolis house had Trump flags, and so it was vandalized with graffitti. And then the garage was set on fire and totaled, destroying the three vehicles within and causing some damage to the house itself. The homeowners were home, since this was around 4AM; rescued were a 2-year-old son and a five-month-old daughter and several dogs. Seems likely to me that the hour was chosen so that the homeowners would be asleep and thus slower to react and thus more likely to die. Interestingly, the FBI and BATFE are investigating.

The way the world is, the option remains open that the homeowners themselves did this. But given the location and just how insane the fascist-wannabees on the left are these days, it’s more likely to be just what it looks like: attempted multiple murder for political reasons. And thus the very definition of a “hate crime” and terrorism all wrapped up in one act.

Recently sold on eBay (but not to me, I got beat out) was a piece of concept art of the “Colossal Guppy,” a proposal by Aero Spacelines to convert a B-52 into a Saturn S-II carrier. All of the artwork I’ve seen before has shown a 12-engine design; this eBay art shows only the original 8 engines that were fitted to the B-52. I would assume that this is an earlier iteration of the concept, but can’t say for certain.

I dunno, I wonder if we nuked Japan a little too hard. Their obsession with humanoid giant robots is just confounding, when in reality such devices would get wiped out in a heartbeat by an air force with the same level of power and materials science technologies. Still, I guess this is cool enough, even though the most important question remains unanswered.
