‘100 Seconds To Midnight’
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 16 hours ago
One hundred seconds to midnight. That's how close humanity is to the apocalypse, and it's as close as the world has ever been, according to Wednesday's annual announcement from the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, a group that has been running its "Doomsday Clock" since the early years of the nuclear age in 1947. Although the scientists cite the Covid-19 pandemic, which has killed 1.7 million people around the world and has "revealed just how unprepared and unwilling countries and the international system are to handle global emergencies properly," they acknowledge that the cor...

More Parking Puts More Cars On The Road
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 16 hours ago
Do cities create greener lifestyles? Or do they just enable them? It’s very, very, very clear that people who live closer to other people drive less. But how much of this is due to the fact that people who were already predisposed to driving less—those of us who don’t particularly enjoy driving, for example—are deliberately living where parking is scarce and buses are frequent? A forthcoming academic paper finally begins to answer this crucial question. Its “breakthrough” conclusion: Bigger parking lots make us drive more. Even if we ignore the breathtaking economic costs of dedi...

Joe Biden's Coronavirus Nightmare
Margaret Riley, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Margaret Riley* *Coronavirus, The Americas* The vaccine rollout, begun in December while the Trump administration was still in office, has been frustrating. Vaccine supply falls far short of current demand, and there is also considerable confusion about how and when individuals will be able to be vaccinated. When President Joe Biden was sworn in on Jan. 20, he inherited the raging COVID-19 pandemic, one of the most difficult crises any incoming president has ever faced. More than 400,000 Americans have died from the coronavirus, and tens of thousands more will likely die before ...
Company B: A Fierce Fighting Force in the Tunisian Campaign of World War II

*Warfare History Network* *History, Africa* In the early days of the American advance into Tunisia, a tank destroyer company went on a risky but successful offensive—virtually alone. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Company B’s success was also a tribute to the courage and spirit of its soldiers. For the United States Army, the long road to Germany began in the mountainous deserts of Tunisia in mid-November 1942. Earlier in the month thousands of GIs had come ashore in the Vichy French territories of Morocco and Algeria. After the brief fighting with French troops ended and a pol...

Big Country, Bigger Guns: Russian Artillery Outguns the United States
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 17 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Security, Europe* The Army’s field artillery is outgunned by Russian weapons. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Fortunately, American troops would not rely on Army artillery alone. The Air Force and Navy would be there to provide air- and ship-launched missiles and naval gunfire. Still, with the proliferation of anti-aircraft and anti-ship weapons, that support cannot be guaranteed. The U.S. Army’s big guns have problems. The Army’s field artillery is outgunned by Russian weapons. And, it would face difficulties in knocking out entrenched North Korean artillery...

A dozen states are reporting drops of 25% or more in new covid-19 cases and more than 1,200 counties have seen the same, federal data released Wednesday shows. Experts say the plunge may relate to growing fear of the virus after it reached record-high levels, as well as soaring hopes of getting vaccinated soon.

It's rare for the blog to go a couple of days without passing comment. And so I feel duty bound to explain myself. As readers may or may not know I've been writing a book about your friends and mine, the Conservative Party. This time last year it existed as a series of fragmentary notes, a plan, and a badly written and unstructured couple of chapters reviewing literature on the Tories and setting out the thesis. I.e. The Tories are in long-term decline and the recent uptick in the party's electoral fortunes, counterintuitively, are symptomatic of this process. A year on the book h...
Sunday morning music
Peter, Bayou Renaissance Man - 18 hours ago
My parents introduced their children to classical music from an early age. All of us had our favorite pieces. In my pre-teen years, mine was unquestionably Camille Saint-Saëns' whimsical work "The Carnival of the Animals", composed in 1886. It comprised 14 short movements, each describing in musical terms a particular animal. The music may have been whimsically inspired, but it's actually very well written, and has stood the test of time. It remains immensely popular worldwide. In 1949 the American poet and satirist Ogden Nash wrote a series of tongue-in-cheek amusing poem...

Why is India Trying to Break Up Hindu-Muslim Marriages?
Sumit Ganguly, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*Sumit Ganguly* *Politics, Asia* One of India’s most populous states has assumed the right to intervene in matters of marriage – particularly between a Hindu woman and a Muslim man. Other states are planning to follow suit. Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, the Bharatiya Janata Party government has put forward several anti-Muslim policies. The latest is a clampdown on what it sees as “love jihad,” the belief that Muslims are seeking to deceive Hindu women through marriage and convert them to Islam. Over the course of the past year or so several BJP politicians have...

Gillian Reynolds, the doyenne of radio critics (as I seem to *always* call her), reviewing a Radio 4 programme called *The Disrupters*, which "tells stories of business success and failure", also in today's *Sunday Times,* said something in passing that struck me as being quite interesting.

Is the Future of the Navy In Air-Independent Propulsion Submarines?
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, Asia* They're stealthy and cheap. *Key point:* Air-Independent Propulsion is a good alternative to the currently in-use nuclear submarines. Over the past decade, air-independent propulsion (AIP) for submarines has spread rapidly around the world. The technology, which allows conventionally powered submarines to operate without access to outside air, has the potential the shift the balance away from the big nuclear attack submarines (SSNs) that have dominated undersea warfare since the 1950s, and back towards small conventional boats. In global terms, t...
