TIL that astronaut Owen Garriott pulled off an epic prank during Skylab 3. He smuggled a tape recording of his wife’s voice onboard and later played it to Mission Control, making them think she had somehow visited the space station to deliver home-cooked food.

The letter was signed by more than 600 former senior Israeli security officials, reports The Jerusalem Post.
According to them, two objectives of the military operation that needed to be resolved by force have long been "achieved," and the third, which involves the release of hostages from Gaza, can only be resolved diplomatically.
Furthermore, they claim that "in our professional opinion, Hamas no longer poses a strategic threat to Israel."

"Voltaire was scandalized about the treatment of König, a known Leibniz scholar who had spent much of his life sifting through the Leibniz archives in Hannover, and published in 1752-1753 a scathing satirical series of tracts, as only Voltaire could write, mocking Maupertuis and Frederick, under the noscript Histoire du Docteur Akakia et du Natif de St Malo8 [History of Doctor Akakia and the native of St-Malo], Maupertuis being a native of St-Malo. Voltaire’s tracts were burnt in public, he was held for three weeks, and then expelled from Prussia."

Two years ago, I published my second post, ennoscriptd The Best of All Possible Worlds. Therein, I quoted from Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz’s (1646-1716) correspondence with Samuel Clarke (1675-1729), in which Leibniz was critiquing Isaac Newton’s (1643-1727)

The corporate domination of the music industry that Fisher predicted is now complete and all illusions of a fair playing field or of an audience who vote with their purchasing power are over. Corporate art is now too big to fail. This is a new stage in the monopolisation of culture by global corporations that destroy everything in their shadow.
Fisher warned about the narrowing scope of modern music. In a “frozen time,” he predicted, there would be no room for any new cultural forms to emerge. All the slots would already be taken, leaving only a generic sameness that belies our sense of passing time. The music and film culture of 1975 was radically different to that of 1993, Fisher pointed out, but there is no significant difference between the music of 2003 and that of 2021. As Fisher said, “in recent years, everyday life has sped up as culture has slowed down.”
The free market can no longer be justified by the infinite consumer choice it offers. The days of endless variety are over. In many cultural arenas, you now have little to no choice as to what to consume. And things have become increasingly difficult for aspiring new artists, who cannot even get started on their careers because the creative arena is already completely dominated by corporate behemoths and by the recycled dead forms of the twentieth century. https://ewanmorrison.substack.com/p/the-great-reboot-in-memoriam-mark

"The data shows a conflicting picture, with no clear causality established, especially with regard to cancers. While reducing use of harmful chemicals in the environment and food supply is a worthy goal by itself, it is highly unlikely that it would solve the chronic disease crisis, especially in younger people and children that we are experiencing in the US and in the Western world in general."
