Will 'Killer' Robots Be Banned?
Autonomous armed drones have reportedly been used in the current Ukraine-Russia war *DW:* *'Killer robots': Will they be banned?* *A United Nations panel in Geneva remains split on whether to ban autonomous weapons, which don't need a human to pull the trigger. The war in Ukraine is complicating the conversation. * These aren't the drones that deliver your online order.

Hawaii Law Could Break Years-Long Astronomy Impasse
The state of Hawaii has set up a new way to manage the mountain Maunakea, the summit of which is home to many world-class astronomical observatories. A law signed by Hawaii’s governor on 7 July removes the University of Hawaii from its role as the main authority overseeing the land on which the telescopes sit, and gives that responsibility to a newly established group with much broader representation of the community, including Native Hawaiians. Many hope that the shift will mark a path forwards for astronomy in Hawaii, after a years-long impasse over the future of telescopes on M... read more

Truss's to Lose
Francis Maude is worried. The grandee is concerned that the Tory party is falling apart over the leadership contest *and* casting itself into the gutter. On the last point, his lordship evidently hasn't paid attention since July 2019. Speaking to the BBC this evening, he said: One is obviously going to win the leadership, but if the behaviour of the teams and their language has been uncontrolled, and it has damaged the party’s standing or the way people see the party, then it could end up being a Pyrrhic victory. It's true. I've never seen such a juvenile briefing and counter brie... read more

"The Frogs Will Boil Themselves"
*"The Frogs Will Boil Themselves"* by Jeff Thomas "There’s a well-known old fable that describes a frog being boiled alive. It states that if a frog is dropped in boiling water, it will hop out.

In political terms, this translates into a slow increase, say, the slow rise of taxation or the gradual removal of freedoms. But there’s another way to boil the electorate of a country: have them become willing participants in thei... read more

Correcting Misconceptions About the Electoral Count Reform Act
Donald Trump speaking on the phone in the Oval Office in November 2018. (Official White House photo) The Electoral Count Reform Act (ECRA) recently introduced by a bipartisan group of senators is an exceptionally promising development in our polarized era. It has been apparent for a long time that the Electoral Count Act (ECA)—the 1887 law designed to ensure that presidential elections operate with integrity, and that this bill would replace—is flawed. These flaws were on full display during the counting of electoral votes in 2020-2021, but all of the flaws had historical precurso... read more

WHO Declares Monkeypox “Global Emergency” After Vaccine Approved by EMA for Europe – Outbreaks are Only in Countries That Injected Their Citizens with Pfizer COVID Shots
The roll out of the Monkeypox "Plandemic" has been carefully planned and coordinated, much like the COVID Plandemic of 2020, including having simulations on how this "plandemic" will evolve, much like the 2019 Event 201 which simulated, with almost precision accuracy, how the COVID plandemic would evolve. This past weekend the World Health Organization officially declared the “monkeypox outbreak” a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC).

Don't send up the Bat-signal for this nightmare!
I was astonished to see this mask, representing an ancient, evil bat-deity named Camazotz. The resemblance between it and the comic-book figure Batman is uncanny. Collective Spark reports: Camazotz, (meaning ‘death bat’ in the Kʼiche’ Mayan language of Guatemala) originated deep in Mesoamerican mythology as a dangerous cave-dwelling bat creature. A cult following for the creature began amongst the Zapotec Indians of Oaxaca, Mexico and the figure was later adopted into the pantheon of the Maya Quiche tribe and the legends of the bat god were later recorded in Maya literatur... read more
