"A Look to the Heavens"
CoyotePrime, Running 'Cause I Can't Fly 2 - 6 hours ago
“Over 400,000 light years across NGC 6872 is an enormous spiral galaxy, at least 4 times the size of our own very large Milky Way. About 200 million light-years distant, toward the southern constellation Pavo, the Peacock, the remarkable galaxy’s stretched out shape is due to its ongoing gravitational interaction, likely leading to an eventual merger, with the nearby smaller galaxy IC 4970. IC 4970 is seen just below and right of the giant galaxy’s core in this cosmic color portrait from the 8 meter Gemini South telescope in Chile. The idea to image this titanic galaxy collision come...
Chet Raymo, “Try To Remember…”
CoyotePrime, Running 'Cause I Can't Fly 2 - 6 hours ago
*“Try To Remember…”* by Chet Raymo “In a sleepless hour of the night, I was trying to remember the last name of a person I have known well for more than forty years. When my spouse stirred in her sleep, I asked her. She couldn’t remember either. One again I started mentally through the alphabet. “I think it starts with B,” I said. Ten minutes later she rolled over and said, “The next letter is R.” Bingo! The name popped into my head. Or I should say, “popped out of my head.” Because it was in there somewhere, recorded in a tangle of neurons as materially as if it were written on a ...
"I Can't Convince Myself..."
CoyotePrime, Running 'Cause I Can't Fly 2 - 6 hours ago
“I can’t convince myself that it does much good to try to challenge the everyday political delusions and dementias of Americans at large. Their contained and confined mentalities by far prefer the petty and parochial prisons of the kind of sense they have been trained and rewarded for making out of their lives (and are punished for deviating from them). What it costs them ultimately to be such slaves and infants and ideological zombies is a thought too monstrous and rending and spiky for them even to want to glance at.” - Kenneth Smith

The F-35 Can Open Air Corridors for America’s Less Stealthy Fighters
Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 6 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *Security, Americas* The F-35 is becoming key to U.S. power projection. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Also, by design, the exercise explored the efficacy of using F-35 weapons to attack and destroy enemy air defenses, so as to open a safer “corridor” for B-2s or less-stealthy fourth-generation aircraft to attack. The F-22 and B-2, often regarded as the “first to strike,” are also thought about in this capacity.

Is there a more flaccid word than "dialogue" in politics, or anything more vague than "common ground solution?"

Report from the 1776 Commission

Under the executive order as US President, Donald Trump established a 20-member group serving a two-year term, which is to write a report on “core principles of the American founding and how these principles may be understood to further enjoyment of ‘the blessings of liberty’". Trump announced the new commission in a speech on September 17, 2020, in which he stated that a "twisted web of lies" regarding systemic racism was currently being taught in U.S. schools. The commission's goal is to end what it calls the "radicalized view of American history" which has "vilified the United St...

Our governors imposed draconian measures to control the Corona virus. The people meekly obeyed as though they didn't have a Constitution to protect them. Our rates of restricted movement and mask wearing are just as good as other developed countries. Yet still over 500,000 have died, and our "leaders" just call for more of the same, with more damaging health and mental welfare outcomes. Even the new "president" claims he has no ideas for how to stem the spread (which disappeared after the election) and has moved the target for backyard get togethers to July 4.

The U.S. Marines Ultimate Weapon: Meet the M27 Infantry Automatic Rifle

*Caleb Larson* *M27 Rifle, * The mantra “every Marine a Rifleman” remains true. And, with newer and more lethal equipment, isn’t likely to change anytime soon. Historically, the Marines have been known for getting old, broken down, and just plain not great equipment as standard-issue. More recently, however, the Marine Corps has gone all-in on more modern weaponry, opting to replace the venerable M16 rifle and M4 carbine with the new M27 Infantry Automatic Rifle.

The Challenge of Climate Change Migration

*Jeannette Gaudry Haynie, Jay Balagna, Aaron Clark-Ginsberg* *Immigration, Americas* As the United States builds a strategy that can address the security implications of climate change migration, it might instead seek to center its policy prescriptions on the most vulnerable in the country. Over the past decade, an average of 21.5 million people annually have been forced to move due to the impacts of extreme weather. That’s three times as many people as have been affected by conflict, and almost nine times as many as those who have fled persecution. These numbers are expected to ...

Corporate Diversity Skates the Legal Line in a ‘Mea Culpa’ Age
Sarah Perry, The National Interest - 7 hours ago
*Sarah Perry* *Society, Americas* These days, big business is no longer focused on its business. Instead, in the wake of last year’s racial unrest, corporate powerhouses seem more concerned with providing public mea culpas on their historic failure to be sufficiently “woke.” Amidst the bullish markets of the 1980s, the corporate governance model drove singularly toward profits, without regard for partisanship or pet political causes.

“12 Myths of International Trade"

With time, they are likely to tire from the burden and bring the subsidies to a halt. If foreigners are subsidising their producers, some argue we should do the same. This makes no sense.
