Porsche B32: the rarest (and wildest) van ever to come out of Zuffenhausen In the mid 1980s, Porsche faced an unusual challenge: they needed a support vehicle to keep up with the 959 during long-distance testing and rally prep, but nothing on the market was fast or capable enough.
The solution? Take a Volkswagen T3 Caravelle, drop in a 3.2L flat-six from the 911 Carrera, and build a van that could chase supercars.

Enter the Porsche B32: an official Weissach-built prototype, assembled in extremely limited numbers (between 7 and 15 units, depending on the source).

3.2L flat-six – 231 hp (from the 911 Carrera 3.2)
RWD, 5-speed manual gearbox
Upgraded brakes, Fuchs wheels, revised suspension
911-inspired interior: Carrera gauges, Porsche steering wheel

0–100 km/h in 8.0 seconds
Top speed over 185 km/h
Used during the Paris-Dakar and custom-built for CEO Peter Schutz

From the outside, it looks like a regular van. But behind the wheel, it’s pure Porsche engineering, a sleeper with Stuttgart DNA. Today, it’s considered one of the rarest Porsche models ever made.

From 1966 to 2025 we dropped sterile flies over South America that ate screwworm and thus prevented them from spreading, but the le epic efficient cracked coders at DOGE thought this was a silly waste of the ~0 dollars it cost us.

more people should know about this

also, it's striking that the "anti-aging" effect of shingrix was not anticipated by this highly targeted antiviral--this did not emerge from the geroscience hypothesis but rather from ppl targeting varicella zoster

John Tesh got the idea for iconic NBA theme “Roundball Rock” while traveling and sang it into his answering machine from a hotel room. Here he is playing the original tape then playing it with a full orchestra. Goes insanely hard, greatest American sports theme ever composed:

THIS GUY LIVES UNDER SFO'S TAKEOFF PATH SO HE BUILT A CEILING PROJECTOR THAT TRACKS EVERY PLANE FLYING OVER HIS HOUSE IN REAL TIME

he uses a cheap $30 radio receiver to pick up the signals that planes broadcast while flying.

then projects them onto his ceiling in real time

when a jet flies over his house you hear it outside and at the exact same moment a plane glides across his ceiling labeled with the airline, aircraft type, and destination

pure black background so the projector's rectangle disappears and only the aircraft are visible

but he didn't stop at planes

it also draws the real sky behind them. sun, moon, bright stars, constellations, and live satellites including the ISS. all at their true positions for his exact location and time in real time

so he's lying in bed watching the actual night sky projected onto his ceiling with real planes crossing through it as they take off from SFO

there is a huge market for every man alive that runs outside to see the helicopter

vibe coded the whole thing himself with a cheap radio, a projector, and some clever software

A federal judge ruled your press restrictions violated the First Amendment. Then you appealed and issued new restrictions. The judge ruled again. You appealed again.

Now the press office itself is classified. The room where no classified information has ever been discussed, where public affairs officers have answered questions for decades, is now off-limits - to make room for speechwriters.

We're at war. 13 Americans are dead. The ceasefire isn't signed. And you just classified the room where journalists ask about it.

"The most transparent War Department in history." Two federal judges disagree.

60 Minutes made $206 million in advertising in 2024. It was not a struggling relic. It was the most profitable serious journalism operation in American broadcasting.

Then David Ellison bought Bari Weiss's website for $150 million and handed her CBS News. She spiked a story on El Salvador's CECOT prison. She let Benjamin Netanyahu pick his own interviewer instead of sitting across from Leslie Stahl. She fired the executive producer, two on-air correspondents, and the behind-the-camera producers who actually ran the place.

The replacement EP has never worked a day in broadcast news. Ben Shapiro's Daily Wire endorsed the hire.

This is not mismanagement. Ratings are down across CBS News. The journalism is getting worse. The audience is leaving. But Ellison's other corporate deals - the Warner Bros. Discovery acquisition - got a presidential thumbs-up while Netflix got frozen out. Trump said out loud he would remember which companies played ball.

That's the transaction. CBS News bleeds so that Paramount profits. Sharyn Alfonsi doesn't have a job so that David Ellison gets his merger.

The people who watched 60 Minutes for fifty years to find out what was actually happening in the world... they just lost something that cannot be rebuilt under corporate ownership. Not in this environment. Not while the president is keeping score.

Congressional statute:

"There is a Director of National Intelligence who shall be appointed by the President ... Any individual nominated for appointment as Director of National Intelligence shall have extensive national security expertise."

Rubio tosses RFK Jr under the bus on vaccines: "The State Dept made the decision that we are going to reengage ... we have certainly allowed Sec. Kennedy to play a leading role, but right now we're at a stage where we are going to reengage."

that the current director of national intelligence is a longtime GameStop Ape feels a bit too on the nose

SCOOP: The CIA has stopped contributing to some ODNI intelligence assessments, including those related to the Iran war, as a result of a year-long feud between the agencies over turf and mission.
