Arms to Israel: Is the U.S. breaking its own laws?…

Date: April 26, 2024

“A spiralling death toll in Gaza fuels calls for weapons supplies to Israel to be disrupted. As pressure mounts on the U.S. – Israel’s main supplier of arms – Pentagon Press Secretary Major General Patrick Ryder tells Ghida Fakhry that Washington’s support for Israel is ‘iron clad’. And former State Department official Annelle Sheline explains why, faced with mounting evidence of war crimes and atrocities in Gaza, she ultimately made the decision to resign and go public.”

Re: military General Piece-o-Shit…

Yeah…You’ve “been having that conversation from the beginning”…and not doing a fucking thing about it, when you are entirely ignored.

…And you’ll continue to have these fucking meaningless conversations…and be entirely useless in ending this…while sending money and weapons to the genociders.

…Fucking Piece of Shit.

This military Asshole is doing nothing more than evading and stonewalling.

Yes…the U.S. government is fully guilty of violating its own laws, of war crimes, of mass child murder and of genocide.

“A recent discovery suggests that bats biology may be the key to longer healthier lives. That power may come from their ability for flight and mean they shrug off diseases usually fatal to humans. Can bats help humans live longer?

Happy Alice Day 2024!…

Date: April 25, 2024

It’s that day again…in case you didn’t know, or forgot.

The The – This Is the Day (Official Audio):

“Lyrics

Well you didn’t wake up this morning ’cause you didn’t go to bed
You were watching the whites of your eyes turn red
The calendar on your wall is ticking the days off
You’ve been reading some old letters
You smile and think how much you’ve changed
All the money in the world couldn’t buy back those days

You pull back the curtains, and the sun burns into your eyes
You watch a plane flying across a clear blue sky
This is the day your life will surely change
This is the day when things fall into place

You could’ve done anything, if you’d wanted
And all your friends and family think that you’re lucky
But the side of you they’ll never see
Is when you’re left alone with the memories
That hold your life together like glue

You pull back the curtains, and the sun burns into your eyes
You watch a plane flying across a clear blue sky
This is the day your life will surely change
This is the day when things fall into place

This is the day your life will surely change
This is the day your life will surely change
This is the day your life will surely change”

Such a beautiful song, for a beautiful day.

Star Trek’s “Cinematic” Problem…

….

Date: April 25, 2024

“For the longest time, Star Trek existed as a low-budget TV show. Next to sci-fi blockbusters like Star Wars, Star Trek always seemed cheaper and dare we say, kinda lame. But all of that changed in 2009. Director JJ Abrams completely overhauled Star Trek’s visual style for his reboot of the mythos. Though Abrams is no longer involved in the Star Trek mythos, modern Star Trek generally took his style to heart. But in being so determined to make Star Trek look “cinematic”, has Star Trek missed the forest for the trees somehow? And what does “cinematic” even mean anyway?”

I have spoken a lot about every pseudoarchaeological and fringe theory under the sun. But rarely have I talked about the implications and dangers of pseudoscience as a whole. How pseudoarchaeology is one of many routes into a dangerous anti-intellectualism pipeline.
This video is on just that topic. A live lecture that I did at Virginia Tech back in March discussing the dangers of pseudo archaeology and how it is promoted by an algorithm that is (un)intentionally radicalizing viewers.

Id like to give a huge thank you to Virginia Tech for hosting me for this lecture, and I hope you all enjoy.”
