The theatre is coming to the end of the first act.

"The system is built around what is called the Power Receiver Array Demo (PRAD), which is a ball-like structure that has a compact aperture to allow a laser beam to enter. This beam strikes a parabolic mirror that scatters the light and shines it on an array of dozens of photovoltaic cells. These convert the laser light back into electricity.

"At the moment, DARPA is concentrating on power and distance, so the present efficiency of the system being a mere 20% is acceptable, though there are plans to improve this as the technology is scaled up."

"“Your funding, your salary increase, your tenure case is tied to agreeing with the ‘consensus.’ It’s really about careerism and resources. They all have to dance to that same drum beat if they want to get professional recognition and professional advancement,” says Dr. Judith Curry, professor emeritus at the Georgia Institute of Technology, describing the state of climate science and research in recent years.

"Despite this pressure, there is no consensus on climate change—talk of 97% of scientists agreeing that we are facing a man-made climate crisis is, according to Curry, simply a joke. She explains that scientists disagree on the most important issues surrounding climate change. For example, there is significant debate about how much of the planet’s current warming is man-made versus natural. At the same time, however, many widely held beliefs, such as the notion that a climate crisis or global warming causing more extreme weather, are simply false. According to Curry, it is also difficult to justify the claim that a few degrees of warming is dangerous in any meaningful way."

NOW - Trump says Israel and Iran "don’t know what the f*ck they're doing."

"Israel, soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs the likes of which I've ever seen before. The biggest load that we've seen. I'm not happy with Israel."

"In another case, a 29-year-old mother of two named Allyson became obsessed with using ChatGPT to communicate with what she believed were “nonphysical entities” on a higher plane. She came to see one entity, “Kael,” as her true soulmate rather than her husband Andrew. After an argument where Andrew confronted Allyson about her ChatGPT obsession, she physically attacked him, leading to domestic assault charges and divorce proceedings."
