Practical quantum computing is still a ways off, but spooky action at a distance seems to be coming soon. Instantaneous code breaking, unbreakable and untappable communications. One wonders if this might be just the thing for high data rate communications between headquarters and deeply submerged nuclear submarines. If so… you can bet the Chinese will be all over it.
This video game, a first person shooter set in zero gravity around a more-or-less realistic space station, seems interesting. The physics looks like it *might* be kinda realistic, though the sound of the gunfire is excessively sharp and loud (it should be much more like the muffled “flumf” sound from when Cap’n Mal fired the AA gun atop the Serenity).
The developers are a Chinese company, so one can expect Ideological Purity out of the final product. If one were to choose to see this as perhaps some indicator of official ChiCom policy, perhaps for preparing the Chinese people for their own version of a Space Force, well…
I don’t drink coffee, but I like Black Rifle Coffee. They know their audience.
There is hope for Britain yet.
Gimmy the Winter Solstice Goblin has a gift for the people of Virginia:
Anyone with a brain recognizes that anything even *remotely* resembling a civil war in the US would be a tragedy of monumental proportions and should be avoided. The only people who might benefit from such an event would be Americas geopolitical adversaries. Which makes one wonder why the Virginia Democrats are working so hard to make another civil war happen. Perhaps the Democratic Party should be broken up under RICO statutes, and higher ranking members investigated by the FBI for possible collusion with the Russians?
And all of her followers? *PLEASE* follow her example…
I need your help manifesting a change-of-guard in Washington.
For 7 minutes a day, I’ll be chanting the following mantra: “Believe in believing. The impossible is possible.” As I do this I’ll be thinking of the special world we want to create.
JOIN ME. We’re stronger together.

Yes, yes, liberals. if you want change… rely on magic and superstition. That’ll do ‘er.
At least she’s not whacking people with bike locks, burning cars in the streets, sending the National Guard to slaughter wrongthinking citizens…
This looks about right.
Oddly, it’ll be in a nine-movie set, including the original trilogy, the prequel trilogy, and the Disney knock-offs. One can hope that the two actual Star Wars trilogies will be released on their own at some point. Perhaps they could package the Disney flicks with Solo and the Holiday Special for a special “Craptacualr Edition.”
Probably to be released at the end of March, 2020. The proposed price is $250.
To be released at about the same time is:
This looks potentially promising. Love it or hate it, Star Trek: the Motionless Picture was a *beautiful* film. And if you pre-order it through one of these links, I’ll get a tiny fraction!
And because why not:
Who would have expected that *Virginia* would be the state with the most restrictive gun-grabber laws?
Repeat after these Democrat talking points:
“Nobody is coming to take your guns.” Except, of course, when they are. And in one of the most hilariously ironic headlines of the last decade…
Democrats have repeatedly called for making speech they disagree with illegal, for ignoring the Constitution where it suits them, for using nuclear weapons on American citizens who simply want to be left alone. How is that somehow less impeachment worthy than whatever they frak they were babbling about with Trump?
