usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

A video arguing that women shouldn’t be able to vote was just shared by Trump’s Secretary of Defense, the guy in charge of our whole military.
And Democratic Party leaders still can’t stand up to this administration?! Our rights are on the line and all our party leaders offer us is silence.

4.6.9.4.3. At the time the Pilot Manual was provided to the MBI, the majority of its sections were incomplete. Many of the essential functions were “TBD” (to be determined) in the manual and there was a watermark within the pages of the manual that were consistent with that of a draft.
4.29.6.2. According to a former OceanGate Director of Engineering, the initial scrubber system in the TITAN, designed and built by Mr. Rush, was a "homemade" system that consistently failed to maintain adequate oxygen levels. This system was not in use on the final TITAN hull. The date of its replacement is unknown. The Director of Engineering provided the following testimony to the MBI:
“The scrubber was a homemade Stockton thing. I tried to get rid of it multiple times. Always was told no. It was literally made from a Tupperware container that came from Walmart or Amazon or somebody like that. It had liked a screen in the bottom with an air space underneath. You would pour the scrubber into this thing which was a granular chemical material, soap and lime is what it is, right. You'd pour that in there, and then there was a lid, a Tupperware lid that went on and in that Tupperware lid there was a computer fan. You'd attach the computer fan to a battery. That would pull air out of the environment, push it into the scrubber material and then, you know, through the grid at the bottom and out some vent somewhere. So, this thing never really kept up. If you put four people in the sub, it really couldn't keep up with the occupants' breathing rate. So -- and it looked like it was a total piece of junk. I mean it looked like a Tupperware container from Walmart with computer fan on the top.”
4.10.12.2. In testimony regarding the ANDREA DORIA expedition, the OceanGate Director of Operations, who served as the assistant pilot to Mr. Rush, described a critical moment during a dive when the CYCLOPS I became stuck under the bow of the ANDREA DORIA wreckage. The assistant pilot stated that Mr. Rush experienced a "meltdown" and refused to let him assist in resolving the situation. When a mission specialist suggested that Mr. Rush hand over the controller to the assistant pilot, the assistant pilot reported that the controller was thrown at him. Upon obtaining the controller, the assistant pilot was able to free the CYCLOPS I from the wreckage and safely navigate it back to support vessel WARREN JR.
The full OceanGate report has some incredible, deep details. Submarine pilot manual was an incomplete draft; CO2 scrubber was obviously homemade by Rush and didn't work; Rush panicking when the sub gets stuck on an earlier mission, then throwing the sub controller at his assistant pilot

Top Tip: Radio enthusiasts. Don't bother listening to commercial radio stations. Simply invite your most witless, tedious neighbour round to put records on then talk over them. Ed O'Meara, e-mail

Teaching STEM without teaching the Humanities is how you get Spider-Man villians.

This made me laugh. And then I sat and thought about it. This is correct.

One reason our sclerotic elites are failing at confronting fascism is because rationalism, incrementalism and proceduralism are completely insufficient weapons to confront an irrational actor that exploits the latter two to in order to do away with all three.
