This whole thing has been a farce since day one. This basically confirms it.
Sometime in 2007 or 2008 my neighbors gave me a cat they’d found wandering the streets and in a bad way, her paws all tore up. Tak The Hideous New Girl went with me when I briefly moved from Utah to Maryland and back in 2008, but sometime around 2010 she moved on to a new home, finding a place of comfort with my Mom and, later, Bruce the cat. This morning, after an extended illness, Tak died on the way to the vet.
Some photos from when Tak was a Utah cat, living with Koshka and Raedthinn. All three are gone now, and far, far too soon.
Tak was a good cat.

Looks not unlike a Starfleet logo, which isn’t a bad thing. It’s also not much more than a modest modification of the Space Command logo:
So anyone yapping about Trump ripping off Star Trek and there needing to be a copyright infringement lawsuit? Yeah, not so much.
Well, this looks potentially disturbing in a Twilight Zone/ Black Mirror sort of way…
I bet you that a reasonable fraction of the people who hyperventilate about “racism” and “homo/trans/Islamo/whateverphobia” have their own screamingly insane hatreds. Ladies and gentlemen, behold the blithering bigotry of your betters:
As if belief in astrology in the era past Galileo and Newton and Einstein and von braun and Goddard wasn;t stupid enough, there are a substantial number of people who use astrological “signs” as a way to hate and discriminate.
Gah.
It’s pretty much what you’d expect: men who won’t date women who hate men are all far right racist misogynists. Rather dull and boring in it’s tired and cliched way. But it’s the responses that make the existence of this editorial worthwhile:
“The dangerous rise of men who won’t have sex with me.”
Careful Vicki, you’re sounding like an incel.
No one owes you a relationship, sweetie
Nobody owes anybody anything, much less a date or a relationship. So if you display a hateful ideology, such as modern straight-white-man-hating wokeness, then, yeah, a whole lot of guys are not going to find you too terribly desirable. *Some* people certainly go looking for a relationship specifically to make themselves miserable, because some people are masochists. But most people aren’t. Men look for partners who will make them feel happy and/or satisfied and/or wanted. Wokeness provides none of this.
And then this review of the article on YouTube, with a reasonably hilarious title: “Get woke, die alone.”
And Tim Pool, leftist non-white guy, is similarly unimpressed:
The reason given for including Greenpeace here was not what I would have. I fully expect that in the fullness of time, the evil that Greenpeace has done to western civilization by setting back progress by the better part of a *century* through their anti-nuclear activism will be seen as an evil far exceeding that of the neo-Nazis and likely up there with the *real* Nazis. through fearmongering, intimidation and lies, Greenpeace has successfully served the interests of their dead Soviet masters and turned the western world into scientifically backwards fodder for conquest. Were it not for Greenpeace and their ilk, we could be several generations further along in nuclear power. The US could have several terawatts of installed nuclear electricity; coal and natural gas might well be on their way out. We could have nuclear reactors on the Moon and Mars powering manned bases. Our economy could be several times larger; our atmosphere substantially less loaded with carbon dioxide. Greenpeace ᚲᚨᚾ᛫ᚷᛟ᛫ᛋᛏᚱᚨᛁᚷᚺᛏ᛫ᛏᛟ᛫ᚺᛖᛚᛚ.
Usually being a public figure makes it so that people can pretty much say whatever they like about you. But when it comes to politics, public figures blatantly lie about each other *all* *the* *time.* It will be interesting to see how this shakes out. If Gabbard actually has any kind of success, expect to see Trump’s lawyers become happy, happy people.
A piece of Lockheed concept art circa 1966 depicting a concept for a stowed-rotor helicopter, capable of efficient hovering performance as well as efficient high speed forward flight. This design is related to though distinct from the design depicted in artwork HERE. Note that the backgrounds of the two paintings share a lot of similarities… same ground structures, same leaves in the lower right. I don’t know if this means that one painting was copied from the other, or if one painting was painted *over* the other. In which case… as noted on the other post, I actually own that other piece of artwork. Buried under that upper layer of paint might be *this* image. Ain’t no way I’m going to scrape the paint off just to check, but the technology exists to X-Ray it to look for what’s buried underneath. Not that I’m going to do *that* either…
This aircraft is shown operating in Viet Nam, in US Army colors. This would have irritated the hell out of the US Air Force; by 1966, the USAF was to have control of all fixed wing combat aircraft. The role for this aircraft in Viet Nam would have been search and rescue rather than the transport of troops or ground attack, but still the USAF would have objected.
This piece of art came from a magazine article published in 1966. The full article has been scanned and saved as a PDF, made available to all $4 and up APR Patreons and Monthly Historical Document Program subscribers. it has been uploaded to the 2020-01 APR Extras folder on Dropbox for Patreons and subscribers.
