For this reason, there has been a surge of media attention on the “loneliness plague” which the Information Age has wrought. Most media attention has focused on the health consequences of loneliness, which stand to overwhelm government health systems in the coming years. A popular article in The Guardian written by George Monbiot a few years ago explained all the ways loneliness is killing people-literally. “Ebola is unlikely ever to kill a... more »

This Is the Forgotten Story of How It Started.* *The Korean War is variously estimated to have claimed between 1.2 and three million lives, most of them civilian.

An alternate history has been presented in Chinese textbooks, one in which the illegitimate lackeys of Western imperialist... more »

Maus: Revealed: Nazi Germany's Massive World War II (Almost) Super Tank

Robert Beckhusen at The National Interest - 1 hour ago
*Robert Beckhusen* *Security, * The Maus was an enormous waste — and not the war-winning weapon the Nazis hoped it would be By the time the super-heavy Maus tank rolled out for its first tests in January 1944, the Nazis had — six months after Kursk — effectively lost the war. It was just a matter of time before the Allied armies would slog their way into the heart of Germany and finish them off. Yet the Nazi regime pressed ahead with developing and propagandizing all manners of so-called “miracle weapons.” Almost until Germany’s capitulation, a belief that secret wonder weapons ... more »

It was certainly not a success, as the Soviet Union only manufactured a handful of prototypes. But the fact that it appeared at all... more »

Black Jaguar Swimming Caught On Film In Rare Stunning Moment

With only 600 individuals left in the wild, it's extremely rare to catch sight of a black jaguar. To see one paddling through the Amazon River is an even rarer sight. Jaguars are strong swimmers and climbers and require large areas of tropical rain forest and stretches of riverbank to survive. A model for conservation, the Amazon Region Protected Areas ensures 150 million acres—three times the size of all US parks combined—of the Amazon are protected in perpetuity.

1. Was Russia set on murdering Sergei Skripal? I don't know. You don't know. Even Theresa May doesn't know, not that it stopped her from apportioning blame. As she belatedly acknowledged, there are two possible explanations for what happened: an action officially sanctioned by the state, or a poisoning using nerve agent stocks looted from chemical warfare labs as the Soviet Union crumbled and vast chunks of military infrastructure were abandoned. Yes, but it could be even more complex than these two scenarios suggest. Anyone bothering to follow Russian politics for more than five m... more »
