*by Noah Sunday Thoughts:* The question of the right to legally discriminate against LGBTQ citizens at the workplace (and, no doubt everywhere else in time) has been driven to the highest court in the land by the likes of the evangelical "Christian" right, self-haters such as Gay Conversion Therapy advocate Mike Pence, and, yes, legions of typical republican bigots. It boils down to republicans and the Neo-Nazi brethren they identify with wanting to be able to exert their hate and fear by firing LGBTQ employees simply because they are who they are.

Chief among the sophisticated creations was the Advanced Inertial Reference Sphere (AIRS) guidance system, designed to help navigate a ballistic missile known as the MX Peacekeeper.

While the AIRS guidance system may look clunky and dated, the honing device is comprised of 19,000 individual parts, and helped to bring the accuracy of its precision down to just 130 feet *WNU Editor:* These pictures are incredible .... *The ‘brain’ of a US nu... more »

Britain's Matilda Tank Was One Weapon The Nazis Never Wanted To Fight

Warfare History Network at The National Interest - 22 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Africa* A bumbling, but effective weapon. *Key point:* It had no turret because it was meant to protect infantry. The origins of the Matilda Tank or “I” Tank date back to 1934, when Maj. Gen. Percy C.S. Hobart, then the Inspector, Royal Tank Corps (RTC), itemized the features of a new infantry support weapon that would be “moderately well-armoured and equipped with a machine gun, available in large numbers to swamp the enemy defences; or a larger type, mounting a cannon and armoured sufficiently to be proof against field artillery.” Due to fin... more »

Anti-Plantagenet bias from Huw Edwards

Craig at Is the BBC biased? - 22 hours ago
the old church at Llanfrothen Fresh from making his views clear on the name of the Welsh assembly (he favours the Welsh-only rather than the bilingual option), the BBC's Huw Edwards is now leading a campaign - Exploring Sacred Wales - to link 500 Welsh churches and chapels with a single 440-mile route. He's doing so in his role as vice-president of the National Churches Trust (NCT). It sounds like a fine project and I wish it success. Here's Huw's reasoning: In Wales today, those tokens of Plantagenet savagery, the medieval castles, are cared for with a vigilance approaching t... more »
