Look to the top right.

That's Phobos, one of the moons of Mars.

And that bright point of light?

The XB-70 My dad and the cold war

With new supersonic technologies emerging using mach cutoff, it's fascinating to look back at the espionage-worthy advancements like this.

"With forward canards and large, foldable wing tips that allowed the plane to literally surf atop its own shockwave."

Jim tells an amazing story about his dad.

Sometimes you need to end a week with too much bordeaux, cuddling your dog and listening to something sentimental.

If you wanted no leaks you should have gone into Settings -> Security -> Configure privacy & security -> Privacy options -> Other -> Configure -> Media interface and clicked β€œDisallow.”

The Leak setting is on by default but we understand your privacy is important so we’ve made it easy to opt out

The Forgotten History of the World's First Trans Clinic The Institute for Sexual Research in Berlin would be a century old if it hadn’t fallen victim to Nazi ideology

Not to repeat history or anything, but remember the Nazi's first/biggest book burning (1933) was Hitler's "Lebensunwertes Leben"-β€œlives unworthy of living.” Yeah - Magnus Hirschfeld's trans clinic in Germany.

They came for the trans kids first.

There's a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is as good as your knowledge.

Numbers to keep in mind, next time you hear about cutting bloated government:

In 1960, federal employees were 4.3% of all US workers.
In 2024, federal employees were 1.4% of all US workers.
So "government bureaucracy" has already been cut to a fraction of what it was in The Good Old Days.

Why you’ll leave X (as well as Instagram and all the other private platforms) (translated from Catalan by Alain Gertrand) You too will leave X, Instagram and all the other big platforms that, for now, seem like irreplaceable components of our lives. The golden age of these s...

"Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die."

[Ε½iΕΎek voice] And what is it the hippos were hungry for? The empty, white sphere of fantasy, onto which theyβ€”and the children who controlled themβ€”could project their desire. Once captured, each hippo releases this desire, unconsumed, into a pen to contain it, before beginning the search for more.

gail.com FAQ Q: Why isn't there any content here? Can't you at least throw up a picture of your cat for the Internet to check out? A: Sorry, I have a cat, but she's pretty unexciting by Internet standards. As for why there is very little content here, we wanted to keep the server's attack surface as small as possible to keep it safe.
