"And for the rightists – which is most of those of you who are reading this – don’t do anything stupid. Don’t let that anger control you. Turn the fire in your heart into ice in your veins, bottle that rage up and refine it into high-octane fuel. No one knows what happens from here. Maybe nothing. Maybe a lot. But if the lockdowns and election theft of 2020 felt like the beginning of the end, this shot feels like the end of the beginning, the starting pistol for a race that will lead us either to freedom, or destruction."

A very early take that mostly holds up.

"The attempted assassination attempt of former President and current Presidential Candidate Donald Trump has opened a few windows onto the changing nature of our civilization, which I will deal with in a post tomorrow. But as the crews get on about cleaning up the blood from the stands, here’s an analysis of the kinds of things a professional audio engineer, makeup artist, and stage magician would look for to figure out whether he’d just been bamboozled.

"On our own July 13th, God spared us from devolving into such chaos. There are no risings, and the man the left wants dead still lives. Memes race across the internet rather than retaliatory bullets through the air. The vile and demonically evil people who hoped- and continue to hope- for Trump’s death are condemned by all decent people. Let us continue to do so. Mock them wherever you find them. Drive them from discourse with words. Pray for their miserable souls. And thank God that there is still the prospect of a peaceful redress for our legitimate grievances."

To all the guys saying this Trump shooting will be used to push gun control: I highly doubt it. If they wanted to push gun laws anyone but Trump would have been used. Not one person on the left side could muster sufficient outrage at Trump being shot to demand gun control.

We Tell You Who We Are

Whether we want to or not, whether we try to disguise ourselves or not, the writer always tells the reader something about himself. This is a very astute observation from a member of the club that dare not talk about Neil Gaiman: There was a writer whose books I loved–incidentally he is respected and talked […]

A recent article by Russian physicists was published in Nature Physics only after removing mentions of their Alma Mater - Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT). Due to sanctions, many researchers, including those from Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology, face similar challenges. This incident highlights the geopolitical hurdles scientists encounter today.

Finally, someone takes a picture of the WHOLE structure. Yea sure, aliens came down with a post-hole digger, instant concrete, and some lug nuts and bolts to install this thing. 🤡

Looks like an interesting talk is coming up at the Huntsville Hamfest August 19 & 20.
