"The spinsters, or the myth of Arachne," 1650s.

Artist: Diego Velázquez.

The main heroines are depicted in the foreground - Athena in a white headscarf and Arachne with her back turned to the viewer. The essence of the contest was to see who could spin more yarn. Arachne won and was immediately punished for it - vengeful Athena did not survive the insult and turned the spinster into a spider.

In addition to the main protagonists, there are three women in the foreground of the painting, and two more in the background, in more lavish silk dresses of women from the upper class. They are scrutinizing the tapestry in front of them.

"According to historian Edward Grant, this letter “ranks as one of the most impressive scientific treatises of the Middle Ages.” It is the first extant work devoted solely to magnetism, experimentally demonstrating all of the basic behaviors of the lodestone, and providing designs for its practical applications. Peregrinus may have been the European originator of the “dry” compass, which came into use around this time."

AI Fraud and Fakery

It’s abundantly clear that “AI” is the current, and possibly last, bubble that the Clown World economy has inflated in order to let the vulture capitalists continue to feed upon the tattered remains of the US corpocracy: Unless you are one of a tiny handful of businesses who know exactly what they’re going to use […]

🇩🇪 The Alternative for Germany party will create a faction friendly to the Russian Federation in the European Parliament - Der Spiegel reports this.

“They will create the “Sovereignists” faction. The party wants to initiate its own parliamentary group in the EU Parliament next week,” the newspaper said.

The basis for the group will be a declaration that states that Europe is “threatened by the aggression of globalist ideologies” and that they want to deprive its people of the right to self-determination.

The EU bureaucracy must be stopped, the party says, and peace negotiations must be initiated with Russia.

"Speaking to journalists in Brussels on Thursday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned "We don’t have much time. We have a lot of injured, killed, both military and civilians. So we do not want this war to last for years. Therefore, we have to prepare this plan and put it on the table at the second peace summit.""

🔦 🇺🇸 📡 DARPA's military-grade 'quantum laser' will use entangled photons to outshine conventional laser beams

🔶️ The technology can also play a role in quantum computing and telecommunications, the researchers said, possibly leading to faster and more secure ways of transmitting data.

🔶️ This binding of light particles increases the energy and stability of the laser, making it better at performing over long distances and in adverse conditions like extreme temperatures and fog.

🔶️ "We are trying to exploit the property of entanglement to do something innovative. The entanglement can do many things that we can only dream of — this is just the tip of the iceberg," Shen said.

🔶️ The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has awarded a $1 million grant to scientists building a prototype "quantum photonic-dimer laser" that uses quantum entanglement to "glue" light particles together and generate a highly concentrated laser beam.

You thought the FBI organizing Nazi rallies was crazy? After staging a series of Nazi events in 2005/06, the FBI launched an arguably bolder plan.
