When I got home I stopped to say hello to the bees and I discovered that they had left.
This is very disheartening.

Can't a busy plane just take a nap without it being news?

"The Heretics are That Way"

A rare insight into the working of the radio proximity fuze developed and used during World War II, 1944 with key contributions from General Electric.

Inside the cutaway, the system reveals a miniature radar set powered by a fragile glass electrolyte ampoule that shattered under launch acceleration, activating the battery and bringing the fuze online in flight. Once armed, it emitted a continuous radio signal and measured reflections from nearby targets, triggering detonation when an aircraft entered roughly the 20 to 70 foot range, where fragmentation effects were most effective.

It costed about 18 to 20 dollars per unit in 1945 at wartime production scale, that still feels strikingly advanced even 75+ years later.

USA. A backyard. One man guarding a grill for four hours.

He never left it once.

Everyone else drifted and drank and laughed. But one man stood alone before the flames, turning meat with a long fork, immovable. I knew him at once. The keeper of the sacred fire.

I took my place beside him and said nothing. After a while, he spoke.

"Low and slow," he said, eyes on the coals. "You can't rush it. Rush it, you ruin it."

I bowed my head. A blade, a tea, a life. None can be rushed. I had crossed four thousand miles to hear my grandfather's words from a man in a "KISS THE COOK" apron.

"Everything worth doing is slow," I agreed.

He glanced at me. Something passed between us.

"My wife says just use the oven." He shook his head at the fire. "She doesn't get it."

"They never do," I said.

And this is where it turned.

For the first time in years, this man had been understood. And he rose to meet it. His back straightened. His voice dropped low. A teenager reached for the grill and the man lifted one hand without even looking. "Not yet." The boy retreated. He was becoming what I already believed him to be.

A woman asked when the food would be done. "It's ready when it's ready," he told the flames.

Three people approached. Three were turned away with a single word. By the fourth hour, no one questioned him. The whole party had arranged itself around the man and his fire, the way a village arranges itself around a shrine.

Then he handed me the fork.

"Watch it a sec. I gotta pee."

I have been trusted with castles.

I have never been more honored.

He served everyone before himself, and ate last, standing, still watching the coals. We never traded names. We did not need to.

He believed he had finally met a man who took his cooking seriously.

I believed I had finally met America's last samurai.

Neither of us will ever correct the other.

So tell me, America.

Who is the man at your gathering who will not leave the grill?

Have you ever once asked him why?

I think he is still standing there.

Guarding the fire.

Waiting for one person to understand.

Today is KILLDOZER DAY.

Once more we are reminded that every man has his limists. On this date in 2004, Marvin John Heemeyer reached his and unleashed his vengeance upon those he viewed as his oppressors, destroying everything in his path but taking only a single life - his own

Too many people have been informed about this from the awful Netflix "documentary" that interviewed only his enemies and ignored the hundreds of hours of tapes Heemeyer left behind. Strongly suggest you watch The Lore Lodge for a better breakdown

[InfantryDort @infantrydort]

We should all try to set a recurring reminder that what happened to our military wasn’t some changing of the political winds from one party to the next.

It was, by textbook definition, an attempted Marxist takeover of the institution.

The DEI, wokeness, lawfare, etc.

These are not simple character quirks from an election switching power over. I mean, they look like it on the surface. But they’re not.

We’ve desensitized ourselves to it. Which is exactly their plan. But it should never be perceived as normal.

Why do you think I come unglued like a vegan atheist college student from Berkeley at a church BBQ when I see it?

When I see the “leaders” divide us and the media try to shame us into supporting it, yes, I come unglued.

And you should too.

The whole reason why we’re in this mess is because we let them run roughshod without consequence for too long.

My fellow brothers and sisters: You all swore an oath. It is your duty to BECOME that consequence in the face of what aims to destroy you and your countrymen.

Remember when Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's friends realized he was the Boston Bomber, so they rushed to his dorm room to dispose of all evidence including his laptop, thumb drives, and a backpack filed with fireworks.

Two were from Kazakhstan and one was Ethiopian.

They received slaps on the wrist for their roles in covering up the attack.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis even submitted a letter of support for one of the terrorists.

All united in their hatred of the West.

[bender871 @Empiricist871]

I am starting to resign myself to the idea that the quality sci-fi TV we had in the 1990s and early 2000s, multiple excellent shows of Stargate and Star Trek, plus Babylon 5, etc. is not coming back for a while.

The entertainment industry is almost completely captured by cultural Marxism. The guiding philosophy behind most entertainment products now is deconstruction and inversion of everything that is good, true or beautiful.

Years of DEI-based hiring has put activists and ideologues in charge where artists should be working.

The new people see their job not as producing art, or at least decent entertainment, but ideological re-education. They fancy themselves to be on the right side of history. They are true believers, and they are not standing down, even now.

I do believe that the pendulum is already swinging back hard, from the civilization-destroying toxicity, racism and nihilism of the culturally dominant Marxist left. But for now, the Marxist left is not dead, not by a long shot. It is barely in hibernation.

The movement is currently counting on a Democrat winning the White House in 2028. They expect to recapture political power, and then finish what Obama/Biden started. They think that their final victory remains just around the corner.

The attitudes of the entertainment industry reflect that. The industry is not course-correcting after the disastrous failure of wokified former money-printing franchises like Star Trek, Star Wars or Lord of the Rings; it is doubling down. Products are made for a "modern audience" that does not exist, but that people in charge are hoping to create.
