“Kings built tombs more splendid than the houses of the living and counted the names of their descent dearer than the names of their sons. Childless lords sat in aged halls musing on heraldry or in high cold towers asking questions of the stars. And so the kingdom of Gondor sank into ruin, the line of kings failed, the white tree withered and the rule of Gondor was given over to lesser men. ”

"An 81-year-old Montana man was sentenced on Monday to six months in federal prison for illegally using tissue and testicles from large sheep hunted in central Asia and the US to create hybrid sheep for captive trophy hunting in Texas and Minnesota.
"The US district court judge Brian Morris said he struggled to come up with a sentence for Arthur “Jack” Schubarth of Vaughn, Montana. He said he weighed Schubarth’s age and lack of a criminal record with a sentence that would deter anyone else from trying to “change the genetic makeup of the creatures” on the Earth."

The theory that "certain circles" are trying to use the terrorist attacks to create a state of emergency in the United States ahead of Trump's inauguration on January 20 is becoming popular.

"The granularity of their work is shocking, naming Epoch Times, Unz.org, and a whole series of websites as disinformation, often with a crazy spin that identified them with Russian propaganda, white supremacy, terrorist activity, or some such. Reading through the document conjures up memories of Lenin and Stalin smearing the Kulaks or Hitler on the Jews. Everything that is contrary to government claims becomes foreign infiltration or insurrectionist or otherwise seditious.
"It’s a very strange world these people inhabit. Over time, of course, the agency ended up demonizing much authentic science plus a majority of public opinion. And yet they stayed at it, fully convinced of the rightness of their cause and the justness of their methods. It seems never to have occurred to this agency that we have a First Amendment that is part of our laws. It never enters the discussion at all."

Rare shots of full-scale tests of experimental prototypes and mock-ups (including engineless ones) of promising Chinese unmanned hypersonic aerial vehicles MD-19, MD-21 and MD-2. All of them have a similar appearance to the MD-22.
The prototypes are dropped from the Tangdeb TB-001 UAV suspension units, as well as stratospheric weather balloons that have risen to altitudes of 25–33 km, which allows for an accurate analysis of the flight and technical characteristics of the products at transonic and low supersonic speeds (up to 1.3–1.5 M), as well as at various angles of attack and in the altitude range from 27 km to the lower layers of the troposphere.
The MD-19 is claimed to be a long-range (8,000 - 10,000 km) hypersonic aircraft capable of reaching near space (upper stratosphere and lower mesosphere) and flying at speeds up to Mach 7 (about 7,600 km/h).

📝 Meanwhile, in the US, long-time Republican influencers have split their support on the incoming Trump administration. Where will that lead to in the coming years?
👤 Andrew Torba on X: "I think it’s awesome that half the people on team USA in this pic can’t stand each other, but the love for our country united us this past week. Let’s keep up that energy and momentum going into the New Year and the first 100 days of the Trump admin."
