Interesting news out of Britain…
Short form: one Nicholas Brock has been sentenced to five years in prison for owning three books that are legal to own. There were apparently no indications that he had plans to commit criminal acts, but off to prison he goes.
Honestly, this one baffles me.

So Demolition Ranch shoots some oxygen tanks with armor piercing rounds. The results, while not a shark-kerploding-detonation, are fairly impressive.

It is, I believe, satirical. But how long before something very much like this is Official History, taught as such in schools?

Atlanta councilman Antonio Brown, who voted to defund police, has car stolen
An Atlanta mayoral candidate who voted to sequester $73 million from the city’s police department budget reportedly had his car stolen by a group of young thieves this week — and wound up thanking the cops for their help.
But wait! There’s More!
Brown — who is under indictment on several federal fraud charges related to alleged incidents that occurred years before he took city council office in 2019 — launched his mayoral run on the platform of “reimagining” public safety and policing in Atlanta
Who better for crime to happen to?

Graffiti Artists Defaced Soviet-Era Buran Space Shuttle At Russian Space Center
There are always people who want to trash things just because they can. Seriously: if the Air and Space Museum was left unguarded for ten minutes, do you think that the Wright Flyer would somehow escape being splashed with BLM, Antifa or gang crap? Or just simply burned to ashes?
The gene pool needs a good cleaning.
Buran was an ill-conceived notion. A bad copy of the US Space Shuttle, somehow made *worse:* it was a pointless reusable payload shroud, it didn’t even bring the main engines back. Still… leaving such things to be turned to garbage by collapsing buildings and garbage humans is just insane.

Military recruitment commercials, on one hand, say nothing about the actual capabilities of the militaries in question. On the other hand, they give insight into the mindsets of those who approved those commercials. And thus, we have a bit of a problem in the US:
Wars are won in the will. Seems we don’t have the will. When Japan tried to take Hawaii from us, we opened up a can of nuclear whoopass on them, unleashing weapons the like of which had never been seen on this Earth. In a few years when China tries the same thing, will the US under President Harris just slink away and congratulate ourselves for our sensitivity?

Seems the Chinese have made themselves a CIWS Gatling gun with *20* barrels, supposedly in the area of 20,000 RPM.

The case for requiring gun licenses
Where Vox argues that a Constitutionally protected *right* should require a license. They argue that “licensing works.” Because… sure. Illinois, for example, has the FOID card system, where you need to have an expensive license to buy a gun. And to buy ammo. And to *hold* a gun. And if there;s anywhere that you think of when you think “boy, gun control sure makes people safe,” it’s Chicago.
