In the center of St. Peter's Square in the Vatican you can see an Egyptian obelisk 40 meters high.

This obelisk was erected in the square around 1586 by order of Pope Sixtus V and has an eventful history.

At the very top is a strange ritual: an Egyptian pharaoh kneels before a creature sitting on a chair with a large round head, looking like an alien in a spacesuit.

TIL During the Napoleonic Wars French cavalry developed a technique called Sabrage, which is opening a champagne bottle with a saber. The wielder slides the saber along the body seam of the bottle to the lip to break the top of the neck away.

Teri Garr RIP

She was on the set of It Takes a Thief when she got the bad news.  Her backdoor pilot hadn’t been picked up.  It wasn’t really a surprise.  Laugh-in always buried that show in the ratings. It would have been her big break but, ah well, that’s show biz, she thought to herself.  Teri Garr […]

"The photo-op by Trump is in direct response to remarks made by President Joe Biden during a Tuesday night Zoom call. During that call, Biden reacted to a comedian’s joke comparing Puerto Rico to garbage at a Trump event, stating, “The only garbage I see floating out there are his supporters. His demonization of people is unconscionable and it's unAmerican.""

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Western officials are skeptical about the ability of the Ukrainian army to contain the offensive of Russian forces, "Economist" writes, citing sources.

For this reason, the West is increasingly thinking not about how to help Ukraine launch a counterattack, but about how to ensure its survival.

"Pentagon officials, Western officials and many Ukrainian commanders are increasingly concerned about the direction in which the conflict is moving and Ukraine's ability to contain the Russian offensive in the next six months,"

the text added.

⚡️🇺🇸🇷🇺🇨🇳 We now live in a multipolar world dominated by three superpowers - the United States, Russia and China, said former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley.

The former American military leader said that the United States is no longer the world's only superpower, and the world itself has become multipolar:

"We now live in a multipolar world dominated by three superpowers - the United States, Russia and China. During the Cold War, there were two superpowers, after the Cold War, there was what is called a unipolar moment, when for a short time, most definitely, the United States was the only superpower. Today, obviously, we live in a multipolar world. The world today is much more complex than it was not so long ago."

"Zelensky has legalized sending his citizens to their deaths by foreign commanders."


This is how Maria Zakharova commented on the law signed by the Expired, allowing foreigners and stateless people to occupy the highest military positions in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

"Zelensky signed the law adopted by the Rada, allowing foreigners to be hired for officer positions in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. So that foreign commanders would more actively finish off Ukrainians, throwing them into bloody assaults. Otherwise, a Ukrainian might feel sorry for a Ukrainian and not send him to certain death. This is not what Zelensky is paid for," the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.

AI Replaces the Unnecessary

I don’t really understand why obviously useless people like “newsreaders” and “presenters” are surprised that they’re eventually going to be replaced by AI. I mean, they were expensive and they never actually did anything that required any thought whatsoever anyhow. OFF Radio Krakow in Poland has sparked outrage after firing several presenters and replacing them […]

🏷 Telegram has launched the most affordable way for businesses to authenticate their customers’ phone numbers — just $0.01 per code, anywhere in the world.

📥 Now businesses can save millions by sending verification codes to their users right through Telegram. This method is much cheaper, faster, and more secure than traditional SMS verification. We call it Telegram Gateway 🔗

💵 Phone number verification is a multibillion-dollar industry. Telegram alone has been spending around $10M per month to authenticate all the users who sign up and log in to our service.

🏅 We’ve made this investment so that others won’t have to. Since we’ve already verified the phone numbers of nearly a billion people, other businesses can avoid high verification costs. And if the phone number they want to verify is not connected to a Telegram account, we won’t charge at all.

🎁 Our prices are unprecedentedly low, so I’m not sure if Telegram Gateway will become a significant revenue source for us. But we hope that this initiative will make the world more efficient, reducing costs and prices for many services worldwide 🤝

Pollster Frank Luntz told CNN that Joe Biden calling Trump supporters “garbage” was a turning point which will have a “huge” effect on moving voters away from supporting Kamala Harris.

I read about Dingle's objections to special relativity and thought I'd check it out, so I bought his book. I shouldn't have. It was a wall-of-text gamma screed that was 10% incoherent physics and 90% indignation at being poorly treated by the scientific community. I was hoping to at least discover some good quotations. The best I found was Max Born telling Dingle that Dingle's book on special relativity was awesome and then a couple of decades later telling him he had fundamental misunderstandings and ought to read a good book on the subject. That was funny. I may be able to use that.

The second dispute began in the late 1950s, following Dingle's retirement and centered on the theory of special relativity.[8] [9] Initially Dingle argued that, contrary to the usual understanding of the famous twin paradox, special relativity did not predict unequal aging of twins, one of whom makes a high-speed voyage and returns to Earth. However, Dingle then came to realize and acknowledge that his understanding of the problem had been mistaken. He then began to argue that special relativity was empirically wrong in its predictions, although experimental evidence showed he was mistaken about this.[10] Ultimately, Dingle re-focused his criticism to claim that special relativity was logically inconsistent, declaring that special relativity "unavoidably requires that A works more slowly than B and B more slowly than A — which it requires no super-intelligence to see is impossible."[11] Hence he asserted that the well-known reciprocity of the Lorentz transformation is self-evidently impossible.[12] As Whitrow explained in his obituary for Dingle, this is not correct, as it rests on Dingle's mistaken assumption that the conflicting ratios of event times used by Dingle are invariants.[1]

That sums it up. Two observers each perceive the other's clocks are running slow; two clocks cannot simultaneously run slower than the other. I get his point about that being a metaphysical impossibility, but I'm fine with it being an apparent difference in perspective from two observers.

One might similarly refute the law of perspective by saying, "Let's stand apart at a distance at which you appear no bigger than my thumb, and I appear no bigger than your thumb. Since we cannot both be smaller than each other's thumb, the laws of perspective are inherently contradictory and in error."
