"With the release of Christopher Nolan’s film Oppenheimer, the epic story of creating the atomic bomb has received renewed attention. Almost seventy years ago, Ayn Rand headed up one of the earliest projects aimed at adapting that story to film. “Top Secret,” conceived and partially written by Ayn Rand in 1946, was intended to dramatize the idea that important inventions like the atomic bomb are possible only to free minds in a free society — a controversial theme that Rand explained and defended to her producer at the outset of the project. Rand’s research included two interviews with J. Robert Oppenheimer, the theoretical physicist who served as scientific director of the Los Alamos Laboratory. Archival documents — including Rand’s conceptual proposal, her research, her interviews, and her partial screenplay — provide a fascinating glimpse of the film that might have been."

"There's really no threat from increasing CO2... It's all a made up scare story."
Dr. William Happer, one of the world's most pre-eminent physicists, dispels some of the more prevalent falsehoods perpetuated by climate alarmists about CO2.
"We should all be very grateful that we have CO2 in the atmosphere... Life would die without CO2."
"If you look over the history of life on Earth... there have been times in the past when it's been much much higher than today."
"Life flourished with five times more CO2 than we have today, and there have been times when it's been much lower... and those were actually quite unpleasant times for life."
"There's really no threat from increasing CO2, or any of the other more minor greenhouse gases... It's all a made up scare story.

Hondo, Texas: Early this morning, at approximately 2:27 a.m. on March 21, 2025, one of our patrol officers was targeted by a green laser while on duty in the 1600 block of 16th Street. The laser, believed to have been directed from several blocks away near 16th Street and Avenue J, struck the officer in the eyes—momentarily blinding him and causing ongoing vision issues.
The officer was transported to the hospital, treated, and thankfully released.
This act is not only dangerous but also a criminal offense under Texas Penal Code 42.13.
The suspect fled the area immediately after the laser was used. We are asking for the community’s help in identifying the person responsible.

"Without finding a way to negotiate with Google Search, you’re offered a fragmented buffet of content provided by Google’s algorithm, either based on how much they’ve been paid to prioritize said content or by how companies have engineered content to rank higher on search. Google no longer provides the “best” result or answer to your query - it provides the answer that it believes is most beneficial or profitable to Google. Google Search provides a “free” service, but the cost is a source of information corrupted by a profit-seeking entity looking to manipulate you into giving money to the profit-seeking entities that pay them.
"The net result is a product that completely sucks. “Googling” something is now an exercise in pain, regularly leading you to generic Search Engine Optimized content that doesn’t actually answer your question. Google’s push to hyper-optimization has also led it to serve results based on what it *thinks* people mean, rather than what they actually said. It’s frustrating, upsetting and annoying. A problem that likely hits hundreds of millions of people a day, yet Google doesn’t have to change a thing, because the street likes that they have found more innovative ways to get blood from a stone. These moves are unquestionably hurting Google, to the point that Microsoft’s Bing (paired with OpenAI’s ChatGPT), has gained major headlines for providing the service that everybody wished Google would."

Val Kilmer (1959–2025), known for his roles in films such as Top Gun, Willow, The Doors and Tombstone, lost his long battle with cancer at the age of 65.
In 1992, critic Roger Ebert wrote, "if there is an award for the most unsung leading man of his generation, Kilmer should get it".

TIL that Val Kilmer and Rob Lowe both declined the role of Paul Atreides in the 1984 Film “Dune” (the role went to Kyle MacLachlan). Val Kilmer had yet to appear in a film production, his debut ended up being in the 1984 comedy “Top Secret”.
