TIL that in Home Alone’s (1990) fake gangster movie “Angels with Filthy Souls”, Johnny and Snakes were originally cast the other way around — but because Ralph Foody had just undergone knee replacement surgery and couldn’t kneel for the death scene, he swapped roles with Michael Guido.

The fact that parrots live for 100 years is nothing more than a myth. In reality, the average lifespan of birds is 50 years, although some of them live to be 70 years old.
"This autonomous, nuclear-powered underwater vehicle, formerly designated Status-6, has been described in open sources as capable of carrying a very large thermonuclear warhead (some reports even cite yields as high as 100 megatons)1 and of transiting intercontinental distances at depths that would place it beyond the reach of most conventional antisubmarine weapons, arguably leaving only exceptionally large-yield nuclear depth charges as a theoretical counter. Open reporting also suggests it can adopt multiple mission modes: a high-speed transit phase at depth, which offers rapid repositioning but is more readily detectable by advanced acoustic sensors, and a prolonged low-speed, low-observability cruise that exploits nuclear endurance to remain submerged for effectively indefinite periods before conducting a final approach to a target.

"As with many novel Russian weapons, most technical details remain classified; nevertheless, a synthesis of open-source analysis and official Russian statements permits a broad—albeit uncertain—reconstruction of Poseidon’s design philosophy, capabilities, and potential strategic effects."

David Frum, Douglas Murray Secretly Drafted Speeches for Israeli Ambassador

"Leaked emails from former Israeli UN Ambassador Ron Prosor show David Frum, Douglas Murray offering to write his speeches and a CNN producer fundraising for Israel’s Iron Dome during Israel’s 2014 war

At the time, Murray was also providing other services in support of Israel and its military efforts. In November of that year, he wrote to Prosor to inform him that he had hosted an event that raised over one million pounds for an organization called, “The Association for the Wellbeing of Israeli Soldiers,” (AWIS). That organization had been created to provide funds “directly to [Israel Defense Forces] soldiers and IDF units,” and was originally founded in 1942 by Israel’s first prime minister, David Ben-Gurion. (In 2015, AWIS merged with another organization and is now called The Association for Israel’s Soldiers.)"

TIL after two Finnish divers died in a cave in Norway, it was determined that retrieving their bodies would be too difficult, so a diving ban was placed on the cave. Despite this, four of their friends led a team of 27 divers (101 diving hours) who secretly and successfully recovered their bodies.

"Einstein’s attitude toward his own disabled son is reflected in the advice he offered his long-time close friend, Austrian physicist Paul Ehrenfest (1880–1933). He advised Ehrenfest to abandon his own Down-syndrome-afflicted son, saying “valuable persons should not be sacrificed to hopeless causes.” Unwilling to do so, yet overwhelmed by the situation, Ehrenfest, recently separated from his wife, shot and killed his son before ending his own life with the same revolver [[xlix], [l]]."

TIL that for decades, it was accepted that 54,246 Americans had died in the Korean War, and the Korean War memorial in Washington was etched with that number. In 2000, the figure was revised to 36,940 after it was discovered that a government clerk had made a clerical error in compiling the total.

"One week into his tenure as FBI Director, for example, Patel tweeted, “There will be no cover-ups, no missing documents, and no stone left unturned — and anyone from the prior or current Bureau who undermines this will be swiftly pursued. If there are gaps, we will find them. If records have been hidden, we will uncover them. And we will bring everything we find to the DOJ to be fully assessed and transparently disseminated to the American people as it should be.”

"But with Trump vociferously opposed to releasing the Epstein files, and seemingly anxious about his own exposure in them, Patel fell into line. The FBI director’s display of loyalty to his boss, “King Donald,” was received by the MAGA base as an act of betrayal, leading some of its loudest voices to question whether Patel had fallen under the influence of the same foreign government which Epstein served.

"They immediately homed in on the employer of Patel’s girlfriend, Prager U, a conservative pro-Israel propaganda outlet whose CEO, Marissa Streit, lists herself in her bio as a former member of Israel’s Unit 8200 cyber-spying division.

"Right-wing critics also mocked Patel’s pro-Israel groveling as he vied for the role of FBI Director, noting comments he made during a December 2024 Fox News appearance: “We need America to wake up and prioritize Israel, and bring home Israelis and make sure we stand by our number one ally.”

Cyberpunk remote work, IRL.

Operators in the Philippines—paid about $250/month—are remotely piloting shelf-stocking robots in Japanese stores.
Today it’s teleoperation; tomorrow it’s training data. The real question: how fast until the robots learn enough to cut humans out of the loop?

TIL of the B-36 Peacemaker aircraft developed in the 1940’s, which operated 6 prop engines + 4 jet engines, had a range of 10,000 miles, a service ceiling of 40,000 feet, the longest wingspan of any combat aircraft, and flew 40 hours straight without the need to refuel.
