It's only words
I might have mentioned this before, but I’m not on Twitter. Life’s too short. However, I do get information from Twitter - it reaches the parts (information-wise) that other information-providers don’t reach. A valuable source for anyone following Britain’s descent into pre-war 1930s Germany is the lively Twitter timeline of Sussex Friends of Israel; it does what it says on the tin. What’s it like for residents of Brighton and Hove during the Labour Party conference? What if you happen to be a Zionist, or simply Jewish, and a furious mob of antisemitic zealots descends at your bac... more »

5 Best U.S. Fighter Planes Ever (Did the F-22 or F-35 Make the List?)

The U.S. Army Is Working on Body Armor That Is 14 Times More Powerful
*Kris Osborn* *Security, * A game-changer or a dud? (Washington, D.C.) Surviving direct-hit enemy bullets to the chest, stopping hot metal fragments from IED explosions and protecting heads from otherwise catastrophic combat collisions - are all known advantages of U.S. Army soldier body armor. Staying alive in close-quarter combat, infantry soldiers will tell you, requires a lot more than body armor; infantry has to maneuver, take cover, quickly assist fellow soldiers and in some instances, jump from rocks or building to avoid lethal enemy fire.

China Is Building Supersonic Drones to Spy on Navy Aircraft Carriers

Climate Scientists May Not Be the Best Communicators of Climate Threats
*Risa Palm* *Environment, Americas* [image: Reuters] Many climate controversies today are not about whether the climate is changing, but how should people change their behavior and the causes of climate change itself. The American public ranks scientists as some of the most trusted voices in the country. So it made sense for eminent climate scientists, such as James Hansen, Michael Mann, and Peter Kalmus, to sound the alarm about climate change. “When climate scientists don’t speak out, we’re inadvertently sending a message that climate change isn’t urgent”, said Kalmus, a climat... more »

Why are Atlantic and Gulf Coast Property Owners Building Back Bigger After Hurricanes?

But storm-proofing improvements are not silver bullets. U.S. coastal counties are densely populated and extensively developed. They also are directly exposed to sea level rise and storms, which scientists predict will become more destructive as climate change progresses.

China and Japan have gone to war three times since 1894. At the end of the Second World War, with Japan in ruins and under Allied control, it seemed unlikely the two countries would ever fight again.

What the Battle for Guadalcanal Could Teach the U.S. Military Today
*Benjamin Jensen, William Bowers* *History, Europe* Today, the United States faces a complex mix of threats. Global powers like Russia and China use politics and economics as well as military strength to achieve their goals. Terrorists and hackers spread fear, uncertainty and social discord within the U.S. All of that puts the U.S. at risk of ending up on the wrong side of cost-imposition efforts from adversaries big and small.

But many Americans who are middle class and working class also give some of their money away.

Donors who give more predictably and more often make it easier for nonprofits to know what to expect, to plan... more »
