One of the Scarier Interviews I've Seen

Brett Weinstein, a world renowned biologist, has been looking at the migration through the Darian Gap. Here he is interviewed by Tucker Carlson and reports what he saw firsthand, his conclusions and he hypothesizes some genuine grade-A high-octane nightmare fuel. It's an hour and 12 minutes.


 I urge you to watch the whole thing.

It appears though that JAXA has gotten SLIM to work, at least somewhat. This is pretty impressive since it's upside down

38 Years Ago





High Flight

John Gillespie Magee Jr.

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of – wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,
I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air....

Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace.
Where never lark, or even eagle flew —
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
– Put out my hand, and touched the face of God."

Holy Crap!

If the Orthodox Patriarch and the Catholic Pope each took a dump in the same chamber pot, it would still not warrant the phrase "Holy Crap!" as much as this does. 

And it might stink less.  


So: "Powerful People Back East" are willing to pay a populist large amounts of money to back out, and make oblique references to 'The cartels being active in every state' when she says no. Given the bloodbath happening across the Rio Grande that's a VERY specific reference. 

My thoughts on Trump have already been stated, but this is actually the sort of thing that his supporters can rightly point to that justify their forlorn clinging to him in hopes of stymieing, in some way, undeniably malevolent forces in our leadership cadre. 

As I stated before, I don't think their trust or hope is justified, but, if,  as now seems to be the case, I find myself voting for him in November, I'll hold my nose a little less tightly as I figuratively piss in the wind.

This Could Get...Spicy

Governor Abbot of Texas has declared supremacy regarding the border, putting in defiance of the Biden Administration's order to take down razor wire that Abbot put up.  


The governors of at least Oklahoma, Florida, and Virginia have said they are backing Abbot on this. There are currently National Guard contingents from 12 states helping the Texas National Guard secure their border. I believe Governor Youngkin is in Texas at the moment meeting with the V.A. National Guard Troops on deployment in the state. 

Biden has issued an ultimatum to Texas to stop interfering with their interference of Texas enforcing the border. 

Texas troops, and the troops of several states, are at odds with U.S. national troops. This can go sideways very fast if cooler heads do not prevail. 

Are their any cooler heads? 

This will probably (hopefully) cool down, but the potential for true mischief, and mayhem is far greater than most suppose. 

Some look at this hopefully, those people are fools. If this reaches a head we will all find hell on earth. 

Noted political philosopher Admiral Josh Painter has thoughts.

Oh NO! Dev Tries to Take on James Lindsey in an Internet Argument!

Poor Dev!

Did you write your will?
You fool!
You pathetic naive fool!
We will miss you!

Oh. 

Wow. 

Good show Dev!

Dev stop! He's already dead. 


 I like James Lindsay....a LOT. He is brilliant and a treasure. However, I really think Devon Delvechio wins this argument.

Is communism dreadful? Yes. 
Is it an outgrowth of Liberalism? Also yes. 
Are there issues that make liberalism susceptible to hard leftism? ALSO YES!

Anything open to new ideas is vulnerable to those ideas if they are parasitic or just bad. Any philosophy completely closed to new ideas is stagnant and signs its own death warrant. Caution, and vigilance are needed when pursuing truth, and denying a crazy relative is related to you does not deal with their crazy.

Schedule Change:

We're going to be starting a bit late tonight. I'm pushing the Stream back 30 minutes because The FF14 updater is not updating and I can't boot the game at the moment. If I can't get it working in the next 45 minutes, we'll just play Genshin. In any event we'll be doing SOMETHING involving a video game @ 6:30pm EST/ 9:30pm UTC. It will probably involve ignominy on my part so be sure to come by so you can point and laugh @https://www.twitch.tv/brickmuppet
