"The Monster Telescope would be built by launching 20,000 separate mirrors, each with a diameter of 8 metres (the largest diameter that can be fit into a Starship). Each of these, by the way, is already larger than the 6.5-metre mirror of the James Webb Space Telescope, currently the largest space telescope ever launched. The mirrors will be deployed as independent spacecraft, flying under their own power to rendezvous at a gravitationally stable region such as the Earth-Sun Lagrange1 L2 point, where they would self-assemble by docking into adjacent segments."

For the first time in the history of the republic, the winner of the election was not given the task of forming a government.
The President of Austria (a Green) gave the task to the second-placed party. It is now forming a coalition of the losers to prevent the FPÖ.
But this is the beginning of their end: https://x.com/Martin_Sellner/status/1843848928560648484/photo/1

Three White road workers are in jail facing decades in prison after an altercation with an off-duty, black St. Louis police officer. The black cop, intoxicated and driving on expired tags, drove into a coned-off turn lane. The White workers stopped him. The black got out of his car and declared that he was allowed to make the turn because he was a police officer and attempted to attack the White road workers. They subdued the off-duty officer.

The Whites were later arrested on assault and kidnapping charges. The local NAACP put its support behind the black cop and is pushing for hate crimes charges.

Robert Kennedy Jr. Puts Democrats on Blast for 4 Minutes Straight

“The Democratic Party today is the party of war. It is the party of surveillance, of censorship.”

Kennedy pointed out that Dick Cheney and the people who wrote up the Patriot Act are now oddly aligned with the Democratic Party.

"You think Dick Cheney has changed his opinion about the Patriot Act?" he asked. "No," Kennedy answered.

"He's changed parties because he thinks the Democratic Party is now the party of the neocons. It's the party of surveillance, of censorship, of war."

"Last month, after 21 years studying and teaching Classics at the University of Cambridge, I resigned. I loved my job. And it’s precisely because I loved the job I was paid to do, and because I believe so firmly in preserving the excellence of higher education, in Britain and beyond, that I have left."

When Science is Silent

JK Rowling summarizes the scientific philosophy of the wicked: ‘We must not publish a study that says we’re harming children because people who say we’re harming children will use the study as evidence that we’re harming children, which might make it difficult for us to continue harming children.’ One of the many reasons that the […]

"The Mercator projection is well known to most of us, but its utility is perhaps not.

"The horizontal lines on the map correspond to parallels on a globe, and the vertical lines correspond to meridians. Now, on a globe, meridians all meet at the North and South poles, which obviously is not possible on a rectangular map. So how does it work? Starting from the equator, and moving north (or equivalently south), the distance between successive meridians is less on each parallel. So, as we move north, the distance between meridians is augmented on the map to allow the meridians to remain vertical. And, since the horizontal distance is augmented, so must the vertical distance be augmented correspondingly. As a result, the distance between successive parallels increases as we move north. And the same holds true heading south from the equator.

"What is the result of such a map? A straight line on the map will cross successive meridians at exactly the same angle, and so the map can be used by navigators heading on a fixed course, guided by the sun and the stars, anywhere on the globe. Of course, the navigator must bear in mind that the projection does not preserve distances."

🇬🇧🇺🇸 A bombshell report, by renowned investigative reporter Matt Taibbi and former US Senate investigator Paul Thacker, could have serious political and diplomatic ramifications for the UK.

Taibbi and Thacker allege that a whistleblower has provided them with documents which show that a charity closely linked to Sir Keir Starmer's election svengali and current Chief of Staff, Morgan McSweeney, has written plans to "kill Elon Musk's Twitter,",

"Trigger EU and UK regulatory action," and build closer links with the Biden-Harris Administration. The charity, called Centre for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), was co-founded by Mr McSweeney, who also founded 'Labour Together', which became known as a 'party within a party' and was the driving force behind Sir Keir Starmer's successful election as Labour leader and ultimately as Prime Minister.

Indeed, Mr McSweeney recently gained even more power by winning an internal struggle against Sue Gray to become the Prime Minster's Chief of Staff--running the political side of Number 10 as Sir Keir's right hand, while controlling access, and curating advice given, to him.

Apparently, the lustre McSweeney's Labour Together gained from their election victory in July has scored a gig helping the Harris-Walz presidential ticket in the USA. Politico has reported that Mr McSweeney has personally visited the US to advise Kamala Harris's election. campaign.

Politico even reported that Ms Harris had even followed a McSweeney/Starmer line "smash the gangs" in her response to the US Southern Border issue. These close ties have recently led to controversy, when it emerged that Sofia Patel, the head of operations CCDH appears to be part of this deepening involvement of Labour and its activists in US politics on the Democrat side.

As aforementioned, CCDH was co-founded by Mr McSweeney, and he was previously a director there. Another co-founder, and current CEO, Imran Ahmed, has personally advised the UK government on "conspiracy news sites" and social media 'disinformation' and 'misinformation'.

In Britain, CCDH has engaged in campaigns to deprive of advertising and sponsorship money those media organisations and individuals that the CCDH itself accuses of spreading disinformation or harmful content. One of the most prominent examples was The Canary, a left wing, pro-Jeremy Corbyn media outlet that was part of the group aligned against Sir Keir Starmer's Labour leadership bid and the wing of the Labour Party associated with Labour Together.

CCDH's campaign against this Starmer opposition outlet forced The Canary to cut staff. The bombshell Taibbi-Thacker report alleges that CCDH started building a similar operation in the US three years ago. This operation has seen CCDH attack outlets such as ZeroHedge and The Federalist, but it appears to have been focused on Twitter/X.

Taibbi and Thacker report that CCDH appeared in the Twitter Files, and investigation that exposed collusion between various levels and organs of the US Government and Twitter to silence certain accounts.

"The 1845 Franklin Expedition may be the greatest disaster in the history of British Polar exploration. 

None of Sir John Franklin's original 129-strong crew survived, shrouding their grizzly last days in mystery for almost 200 years. 

Now, scientists have revealed a disturbing new detail as they identify the identity of a crew member who was cannibalised during the voyage."
