Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - March 24, 2026 [Doof]![]() From Abby Did YOU celebrate National Alien Abduction Day? UFO Sightings Surge Across North America Ahead of “Alien Abduction Day” As March 20—National Alien Abduction Day—rolls around again, a fresh wave of data is stirring up conversation, curiosity… and maybe a little unease. Across the United States and Canada, thousands of reported UFO sightings are painting a strange, flickering map of where the unexplained seems to linger most. And honestly, the numbers feel less like trivia and more like something you might glance at twice before heading outside at night. According to Casino.ca’s reporting on newly analyzed reports sourced from the National UFO Reporting Center and social media discussions, UFO sightings continue to cluster in unexpected places. Delaware, surprisingly, has emerged as America’s top hotspot. With one reported sighting for every 928 residents, the small state has logged over 1,000 encounters since 1974—many involving glowing cylinders and hovering lights that don’t quite behave like anything… familiar. ![]() Up north, Canada tells a slightly different story, and it’s arguably more intense. Alberta now claims the title of the country’s UFO capital, with one sighting for every 568 residents. Wide open skies, fewer city lights—perfect conditions, depending on how you look at it. ![]() Interesting stuff! Any of you willing to admit you've seen a UFO? ----- Hochul learns that FAFO applies to her tax and spend schemes
![]() Throw a ball through a bird?? Yup - that happened 25 years ago today. ----- Rock and Roll in the Great White North and also Down Under Up first - Who Are the ‘Big 4′ of Canadian Rock Bands? Spoiler alert - Of course my favorite band made the list. Can you guess the other 3? Hint - one isn't actually a band, but rather a solo artist. *** Moving to the southern hemisphere - Who Are the ‘Big 4′ of Australian Rock Bands? One of these is probably a slam dunk guess for most of you. The second one is another one of my all time favorite bands, so I'm glad they made the list. Think you can figure them all out? Curious as to your thoughts on both lists! ![]() Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

Thanks Doof.
I'm heading upstairs. One of the Unexplained shows had this in the description on the History channel. "Something crashes at a top secret US military base, but is it a UFO?" Lol.

"Any of you willing to admit you've seen a UFO?"
Sure. Right at Midnight on July 4, 1976. Me & a friend saw a flying object we couldn't identify. Funny thing, we had just been talking about his younger brother & friends being chased a few nights earlier, down back roads in Arkansas by something overhead that kept a spotlight on them. They telepathically listen. They knew what we were saying. They tease us for their own amusement. Just like Alexa.

Up first - Who Are the ‘Big 4′ of Canadian Rock Bands?
Spoiler alert - Of course my favorite band made the list. Can you guess the other 3? Hint - one isn't actually a band, but rather a solo artist. I "guessed" one of the other ones. I didn't know the third was Canuckian. I'm glad the solo artist wasn't Celine. Posted by: mikeski at March 24, 2026 10:12 PM (VHUov) 31

The Breakfast Club was ok. When I first saw it, none of the main characters resonated with me. I wouldn't hang with any of them, but I've always had strong introverted tendencies. I watched it recently, and I still think it's ok. Now, being over 29, I find the principle and janitor more relevant (Paul Gleason was a great character actor). Still liked the soundtrack quite a bit.

The outlet’s report contains 14 of the 15 demands the Trump administration has conveyed to Iran.
Iran must dismantle existing nuclear capabilities Iran must commit never to pursue nuclear weapons. No uranium enrichment on Iranian territory. Iran must hand its stockpile of enriched uranium to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The Natanz, Isfahan and Fordo nuclear facilities must be dismantled. The IAEA must be granted full access to Iran’s nuclear facilities. Iran must abandon its “regional proxy paradigm.” Iran must cease the funding, directing and arming its proxies. The Strait of Hormuz must remain open. Iran’s missile program must be limited in both range and quantity. Iran must limit its use of missiles to self-defense. In return, Iran would benefit from: The end of sanctions imposed by the international community. US assistance to advance its civilian nuclear program. A “snapback” mechanism allowing for the automatic reimposition of sanctions if Iran fails to comply would be removed.

I'm still getting news updates in email that seem to suggest more American forces are headed that way, so I'm not really sure declaring victory and moving on to something else is really the plan.

If individual artists like Adams are included in the list, like him or hate him I don't think Neil Young can be left off a list of one Canada's greatest rockers. The guy is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Twice.

Gale Garnett is a Canadian artist who should have been a bigger star. Won Folk Grammy in 1965, beating out Dylan for We'll Sing In The Sunshine. Some moderate Pop success after that, then headed a psychedelic band 1968-71, or so. Was mostly out of music by 1980, but became a successful novelist after. Beautiful alto voice with a great "bottom" to it like a purr. She was born in NZ, moved to Canada, age 11.

When I was about 10, I noticed a circle of flashing / rotating lights hovering near our parked car. It was hard to see through the trees, but it appeared to follow us when we started driving. We went maybe half a mile until the trees thinned out, and at that point I got my one-and-only in-person look at a real-life, genuine...

Thanks, Doof.
The Guess Who & Bachman Turner Overdrive. Lucky for me we did not have a HS breakfast club. However, I am fairly certain my "permanent record" was the thickest of the principal's index cards. Stupid stuff like talking in class, being late for class due to talking in the hall. No bombs or razor fights or smoking or anything of note. My worst was having a guy who took me to a dance talk me into the Beta Club photo (I was not in the Beta Club). The editor, who was a friend of mine & later apologized, went loco and reported me. Pity as it was a really good photo of me. The enraged principal told me I'd have to pay for a new photo. Ok, no problem. Found out after HS that he mostly hated me due to my last name. Apparently, growing up in the city, my Daddy was part of an elementary school gang and he must have been picked on. He never called my parents & said, "Your crazy daughter is here in my office again. As usual she does not seem worried that she will never amount to anything or have a job" (yes, he said that to me). I never told my parents, either, big deal. Now I want my permanent record. Any tips on reviving energy after a virus,please let me know.Tired. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at March 24, 2026 10:30 PM (WONhk) 112

Gordon Cooper, of original 7 Mercury astronaut fame, prior to that was a test pilot at Muroc dry lake (Now Edwards AFB). He said one day a couple contractors came into the office one day pretty shook up. They were shooting film of something and some sort of strange craft landed, and they got film of it. Cooper said he saw the photographs when developed, they had called Washington about it, they told him to send in the film and that’s what he did. That was the last he heard about it.
In the skies over Europe during WWII 8th Army Air Force crews saw all sorts of strange stuff. They called them “Kraut balls” or “Foo Fighters”. Posted by: Common Tater at March 24, 2026 10:33 PM (/eAJY) 127

I saw an UFO in Mississippi. With a guy I met at the hospital from a summer job as a lab assistant (phlebotomist).
We were making out in my car and drinking beer. A large, half a football field, oblong neon green lit thing landed below us (we were high on a hill in woods). Silent. Lights. Neon green. Oblong. The guy saw it as well and told me to get the hell out of here and we did. I don't know about him but I did not tell my parents or anyone. But we both saw it. I don't recall discussing it with him again, either. We were both shocked. There was no probing by this guy nor the aliens of me, to be clear.

I have seen a UFO. It was tracking ICBMs on a rail line to their destination. It defied all human technological methods of propulsion and generated no sound. This was decades ago, not some man-made drone. It was not some flashing light in the sky, - it occupied space and had volume.

Goodyear Blimp. I have no idea why it was over our town, or what message it was flashing, but it sure had us going for a few minutes.
Posted by: PabloD at March 24, 2026 10:30 PM (8sD0/) My mother lives in the Phoenix area, near the desert, and has an almost funny but painful story about that. She was walking my sisters dog which she was taking care of, a part husky, strong dog, in a patch of desert near her house. Over the Christmas/ New Year’s holidays, the blimp is usually in town and cruises around displaying advertisements. So she hears some hum and turns around and that blimp is right behind them and low! She was surprised, but the dog was terrified and took off at a dead run. Her hand got caught in the leash and before she could get loose he dragged her down a small gravel hill on her face and put her shoulder out of socket! Dog kept running, thought it was gone for good but finally came back a couple days later. Always wondered what he thought it was. Posted by: Tom Servo at March 24, 2026 10:40 PM (D4x+R) 155

I'm currently trying to dig out an old rosebush, without much success. It's kind of in a corner of a bed, so I can only attack it from three angles.

I may just leave it for this year out of curiosity, to see if it's the rose- or just the root stock.

——- L.S.D. is a very fragile molecule, I’ve read. Exposure to light & oxygen is no bueno. Sandoz (Switzerland) used to send it out for free in glass ampoules, which if stored properly should be good to go. The CIA in the early 50s wanted to purchase the entire world supply (keep it from the Soviets). Then they got Eli Lilly to start making it, who said they could turn it out it out in “tonnage quantities”. Your tax dollars at work. I heard an interesting Old Time Radio program episode the other night, “The Man Called X” starring Herbert Marshall, from 1952. Had to do with hypnotic suggestion, manchurian candidate, murder type stuff. This is exactly the type of cold war research being done at that time, I wouldn’t be surprised if the producers didn’t get a phone call. This was all very classified type stuff funded through cutout orgs and conducted by universities, who didn’t ask too many questions so long as they got funding. The Fund for Human Ecology. My dad went to a small school in Iowa and participated in a sleep experiment, they tried to see if people could learn while sleeping. Spook shit.

I'm betting the roommates were named Greg and Xeryx-7. Posted by: Diogenes at March 24, 2026 10:46 PM (2WIwB) Gerry and Charles. I was a surprise for them as well. The landlady found the furnished apt for me as a favor to an ex-friend of mine. Had my own bedroom and bath and entry. Shared kitchen, laundry room and living area with them.A mile walk uphill to campus and I was in great shape. Their girlfriends were not pleased at all to have Ellie Mae Clampett, fresh off the farm, land in their bf's basement apt. The boys were later bummed in that I had no idea how to cook...but they made me learn as we shared meals during the week and grocery bills with rent and utility. I am sure they diagnosed me or tried to but did not tell me. They were good to me and took me hiking, camping, skiing and to concerts. I lucked out in them not being serial killers. Of course them being psych majors was almost as bad. After 6mo of no dating they tried to plan a romance with a friend of theirs, nice guy. I guess because they felt sorry for me. He was also a grad student psych major and, well, no go, but he hung out with us trying. I was never mean to him but he got the hint.

180 UFO doesn't mean aliens, it just means shit for which we cannot account.
Most of the time it's Venus“ UFO’s aren’t always bright lights. I saw one of the infamous delta shapes once, but I sound stupid trying to describe it because even at the time, I couldn’t really figure out what I was seeing. A big storm was blowing in at dusk, and I saw this shape on the horizon, and yes it looked like a delta shape. But I only could see the outline, because I also saw right through it. Like it was there and wasn’t there at the same time. I was thinking it was something being blown by the wind, but it was moving quickly against the wind. Then it went behind a copse of trees between me and it, and I thought good, that weird thing is gone. But then it came back out from behind the trees, which really freaked me out, and I watched it til it disappeared in the distance. I have no idea what it was, or how it was being operated. But even at the time, I wondered if I was looking at something that was cloaked, with the cloak only partly working. Posted by: Tom Servo at March 24, 2026 11:08 PM (D4x+R) 224

The tree stump removal reminded me of getting a plantar wart out of the bottom of my big toe as a teenager. The doctor froze it with dry ice or something; then later, in the shower, it started itching/hurting and I couldn't/had-to/couldn't-stop scratching/digging at it, until finally the pleasure/pain and horror/relief of getting it out.
It's like The Thing, your own flesh converted by a virus into an alien parasite with its own root-like anatomy; if you haven't experienced that, maybe getting well-burrowed tick out could be close. Or cancer, maybe? I dunno. Anyway, I got a similar vicarious relief from seeing that stump pulled well out. Posted by: SciVo at March 24, 2026 11:20 PM (Sy6m/) 251

>> I thought I saw a UFO about 3 years ago but publius explained it was a Starlink satellite deployment.
The truth is out there. Seriously, I vaguely remember that, and I think we decided it was likely a Starlink train from your description. Venus and even Sirius are famous for triggering UFO reports from people not familiar with the sky. When Venus gets near inferior conjunction on both sides and gets close and bright at sunset and sunrise, it will do it. Also, a nice conjunction with Venus and Jupiter or others will really do it.

Posted by: Piper at March 24, 2026 11:01 PM (OoFl2) ............... I did this, too. She's too busy to turn off lights, Piper. Thinking about stuff. Daddy also used to note all the hot water I used when I came home from college after Christmas. He could not believe me when I'd tell him I was colder in MS than out West. He'd argue back: snow. I'd say I was still cold on the farm and round and round we went. I'd dry my hair by the fireplace freezing. Neither of us won that deal as I still took hot baths, too. No care! I knew I was finally a parent when I turned off the lights in my son's wake. Son the Elder. He became a mixture of my husband's and my worst things in college. I once thought blood was going to shoot out of my ears I was so mad at him. No doubt our fathers were thrilled. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at March 24, 2026 11:26 PM (WONhk) 267

Gonna add another item to the Bucket List - a trip to New York City to see the sights and some shows! Mr. TiFW DOES NOT want to go, so I am taking along a friend and her lovely daughter. They are very excited - we are using the money that we would have spent for Paul to go to treat them both for going along and "babysitting" me 😂😂😂 So far, we have 4 shows on our list, along with a bunch of touristy sights. Looking for a central hotel that is fancy for us gals. We are going over Mother's Day weekend, so we are going to try and find a fun MD Brunch to go to. There is a MD Brunch cruise that looks promising.... We are going to fly into Newark because it's considerably cheaper. What we save in airfare should pay for a lot of uber/taxi rides!

>> The fastest manned spacecraft to date is 25k MPH.
Apollo 10 return trajectory, 24, 791 mph (11.08 km/s). Manned distance record was set by Apollo 13 on their ill-fated mission when they had to do a free-return of 248,655 miles. They had already made course corrections off of the free-return before the SM explosion, requiring the LM burn to put it back on -- if that had failed, they would've been fucked. If Artemis II flies, it will break both by a smidge, return speed exceeding 25K mph by a little bit, and distance beyond the Moon an appreciable bit over Apollo 13.

Another similar one is sometimes called "crypto-terrestrials". They are some species, some body who has been here, at least in the Solar System for a long time, observing and doing their own thing and they aren't too interested in "first contact".

Another similar one is sometimes called "crypto-terrestrials". They are some species, some body who has been here, at least in the Solar System for a long time, observing and doing their own thing and they aren't too interested in "first contact". Could be native here from a very ancient age, or could be ETs who came here a long time ago.

Part 2: So I’m about a quarter mile from these lines when is see something strange - on one side of the valley green tendrils are stretching UP from the lines to something about 100’ above them.
But the thing is, there was nothing visible there. I stopped my car and got out to watch, close enough to hear the electricity crackling. And it was moving. As I watched, the end point of the electric tendrils slowly moved from east to west across the little valley. Judging by those, their end point seemed to be something about 50 yards long which was completely silent and invisible. After about 10 minutes the show reached the other side of the valley, and it just stopped; and everything was like nothing had ever happened. Sure looked to me, though, like something had just drained a whole lot of power out of those transmission lines. Posted by: Tom Servo at March 25, 2026 12:08 AM (D4x+R) 343

That is spacetime. Generally dubbed the vacuum. Not just WTF that actually is, well, it's something. Empty spacetime is something. There is mindblowing shit about the "vacuum" that I only vaguely recall what little I actually knew. You've heard of Hawking radiation. Well, via the Equivalence Principle, there is also Unruh radiation. Take a path of flat Minkowski spacetime. Completely empty. Now, construct an accelerating reference frame. That accelerating (Rindler observer, if you want to sound sophisticated like you know what you're talking about, which I don't We can say that Unruh is entirely "coordinate artifact", I think, since that's just an accelerating coordinatization of flat spacetime. Yet, Hawking, existing with "real gravity", real curvature, is thus real. Even when I could remember this shit, I still didn't understand this, other than it was mind blowing.

Suppose you and I start out at some place and agree to meet at another destination later in the day. We get to there later, we compare odometers and find they are different. You travelled a longer distance than I did. We would not find that surprising. You simply took a different, longer path than I did. Now, that's how time works as well. That blows Newtonian intuition away, granted, but it's the exact same thing. We take different paths through spacetime, and thus accumulate different proper times along the way. I don't think of the Twin "Paradox" as time travel because of this. One twin just takes a shorter path, and thus less time.

In a given location, all things being equal, can the sky be “darker” or better star gazing due to factors I’m not aware? Let’s say it’s the new moon, sky is as dark as it’s gonna get. Is it seasonal, or periodic somehow? Posted by: Chilliwack at March 25, 2026 12:37 AM (5dzh4) 395

Germany - I don't think Hitler ever gave a surrender order. They just surrendered on their own as I recall. Posted by: Anonymous Rogue in Kalifornistan (ARiK) at March 25, 2026 12:23 AM (QGaXH) Admiral Doenitz gave the order to surrender, but by that time there was nothing much left to fight with. No gas, no food, no resupply, and everyone was trying to surrender to the Americans to avoid the Russians. The "werewolf" plan was not done because of the shock of losing, and then the Allies gave them the Communists to chase instead of insurgency. There was a rumor of a resurgent Nazi party by old SS troops in the west in the 50's, but supposedly they all got told to knock it off, and the prosecution of them was declined because the court found there were so many government agents acting as provocateurs among them it was found impossible to figure out if it was an organic movement or created by the security services.

It is. You've got your basic "seeing", which has to do with the state of the atmosphere. Is turbulence and temperature variations and all that afoot big time, or is everything nice and stable. Winter, as a general rule, can offer the best seeing, with colder denser air. When it's clear. Then you got things that interplanetary dust (Zodiacal light), not to mention terrestrial dust, jet stream behavior, and all that. So, there are sesonal factors that affect seeing, and then just random factors than come and go. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at March 25, 2026 12:43 AM (w6EFb) 405

The successor government to Hitler's (the "Flensburg" government headed by Adm. Donitz) formally surrendered, and of course the military surrendered twice (once in Rennes - Jodl - and the next day at Templehof - all the Allies represented, Zhukov in charge).
There was real concern in the Japanese leadership about whether a surrender order would be complied with - one reason an imperial radio address - unprecedented event - was done. And there were a few cases of insubordinate post-announcement attacks on Allied forces, though fortunately not many. And the Allied (US, really) concern about Japanese military insubordination regarding surrender was of course much more intense. This didn't really dissipate until a little bit into the occupation, when it was clear that there would be no major trouble. Quite the opposite in fact, Japanese cultural respect for order, authority, and compliance making it easily the best place to occupy of any. Posted by: rhomboid at March 25, 2026 12:45 AM (U/Byj) 408

>> Unless someone can come up with a plausible explanation of what comes after the edge of the universe, and in all of human existence nobody has, then the universe goes on forever.
That is the limitation of the human mind's imagination, based on Euclidean, flat spatial geometry. Consider a 2-sphere, the the 2 dimensional surface of a sphere of some finite radius. That is 2D space is closed, finite size, yet no boundary. You can go off in an direction and come back to where you started. Now, you can have the same with a 3D space, the "surface volume" of a hypersphere, dubbed a 3-sphere. Now you object, but there's that third dimension for the 2-sphere! It's curved around in that 3D space, that explains it. Now, here's the key insight. You don't need that higher dimensional space at all. It's just a crutch. You can have that closed 2-sphere geometry existing all of itself. There is no measurement you can make, confined to the surface that can prove or disprove the existence of the higher embedding space.

Posted by: mikeski at March 25, 2026 12:37 AM (VHUov) Stars do a lot of the heavy lifting. The heavier the star the more elements they create. Our sun converts hydrogen into helium, and will probably stop there because it isn't massive enough to create enough pressure from collapse to heat things up to go farther. Massive stars have the mass to convert helium to carbon, then carbon , then neon/magnesium, then sulfer, and eventually to iron. Iron is where it stops and then fooom.

There is quite a devil in those details of where the elements heavier than iron come from. Astrophysicists would just sort of wave their hands that supernova did it. Turns out they can't make enough. This was known as the gold mystery. What made all the gold in the universe? Turns out the answer is neutron star mergers mostly, but that wasn't enough.

Is it seasonal, or periodic somehow? You want to be on a mountain top (less air above you), far from sources of light pollution, with a dry climate, and a laminar flow of air straight up, if possible. They do studies before they site observatories. It turns out that the study done for Kitt Peak in Arizona was during an anomalously “quiet” time period in terms of seeing conditions. It has not quite lived up to the study that put all those telescopes there. Of course, space is the best place to put a telescope these days, but that has its own difficulties.

Now, to talk about scale and mind blowing density and all that. The magnetic field of a magnetar is so large, so mind bogglingly YUGE it's near the quantum limit of a how strong such a field can be (well, that's sort of a tricky thing). The energy density of that field in the vacuum works out to be many times greater than the mc^2 energy density of a chunk of lead.

My bad. I was mixing up kilonova with hypernova. :eyeroll: Something nagged me when I typed it, but I didn't pay it any attention. So kilonova are the main source of gold (and others), not kilonova. Now, the progression of what happens when a star dies vs its mass is a complicated thing indeed, and they don't really understand it at all. If you're interested I can try to dig up some reading links. Anyway, at some point, you can get collapse straight to a black hole. Get bigger, and there's some range where no remnant would be left behind at all, it would blow itself to smithereens. Get bigger yet, and there's a point where there would be hardly any explosion at all, so massive it would be, a black hole would form and just suck everything in before any explosion could even begin to get out.

That's one of the grand ironies. Gravity is the weakest of the forces (or another way to put this is the mass to charge ratios of the elementary particles are very low), yet gravitational radiation can produce the most energetic outbursts of all. If you figure it in terms of mass conversion to energy, you have some large number of solar masses of mass being converted to energy in seconds. And that energy is gravitational radiation.

This blows your mind. Where is the mass in black hole? It's "elsewhere", nothing but an even horizon, and massive curvature left behind. Yet let two of them merge, and some of that "mass" gets spewed out as gravitational radiation. The mass of the merged black hole is less than the sum of the original two. Did it get out from behind the event horizon? Nope, it did not. And that shows how this notion of mass and energy and what you mean by the total doesn't work out exactly as you think it ought to. That is quite a complex thing in General Relativity. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at March 25, 2026 01:47 AM (w6EFb) 457
The universe could be finite but unbounded, just as a two dimensional surface shaped like a sphere has a finite area but no “edge” inside the 2-D space. So we could live in a finite universe with no edges: a four dimensional spacetime with no boundaries. That does not preclude a higher dimensional space in which our 4-D spacetime is embedded (doesn’t require it - but doesn’t preclude it, either).

@sentdefender 3h Per a report from the Wall Street Journal, Iran has responded to the Trump administration’s proposal for a ceasefire with demands that far surpass the characterization of maximalist. Iran has demanded the closure of all U.S. bases in the Gulf region, a new Strait of Hormuz framework, that would allow Iran to charge fees for vessels that transit, the end of all sanctions on Iran, an end to Israeli operations against Lebanese Hezbollah, and no discussion on Iran’s ballistic missile program. Such demands have been called ridiculous and unrealistic by U.S. officials --- Guess he's just going to "bomb their little hearts out'.

Another crazy non-Newtonian thing those mergers do with gravitational radiation is the asymmetry gives the center of a mass a kick. Two black holes merge and the center of mass kicks off, pushing against the gravitational radiation it's emitting. They've seen this when galaxy mergers. The two central black holes merge and the merged product gets a high speed kick away from the center, flying off to the side.

Get bigger yet, and there's a point where there would be hardly any explosion at all, so massive it would be, a black hole would form and just suck everything in before any explosion could even begin to get out.

Now, imagine death by strong gravitational radiation. If you were close enough to one of those mergers, the radiation could be quite strong. Imagine you're floating around in space, in your spacesuit. A high frequency short wavelength gravitational wave passes through you. Your head is compressed with some ridiculous g-force equivalent while your feet are being stretch apart with the same ridiculous g forces, and hump after hump of that passes over you. You'd be simultaneously crushed and spaghettified, but wouldn't move much. Sort of like imagining some shock wave of pressure and rarefaction passing through, but orders of magnitude stronger and pure gravitational acceleration, not pressure of "stuff".

If you measure the speed with which pain nerve pulses travel you can show that if you fall into a sufficiently large black hole and die (eventually) of tidal gravitational forces that you will be dead before you feel the pain of your death. However since pressure nerve pulses travel faster than pain nerve pulses, you will “feel” that you are going to die, just before you do.

Andromeda's black hole is much bigger than ours. The Milky Way suffers from black hole micropenis you might say. And there was something interesting recently about that merger. It may not happen. They refined some measurements and the uncertainty is such it may just be a close pass at first. We'd dance around for a few billion or so more years and eventually merge, but not a direct collision. It's a matter of probablity. The direct collision could still happen, it's just not as likely as they originally thought.

That math, differential geometry and tensor calculus of GR is something else indeed. Funny thing it was invented before it was really needed. It's funny how that works out sometimes. I only know enough about it to be dangerous. Basically, a glimpse of what is going on. Don't let that bother you though. If you can find a good qualitative description of what GR and the EFE (Einstein Field Equations) are and what they say, you'd enjoy it. Gravity is not a force, it's just geometry. As Wheeler put it, matter tells spacetime how to curve, and spacetime tells matter how to move. GR/EFE is the rules of that dance.

One statement I saw many years ago about GR/EFE was that determines the geometry of spacetime but not the topology. I did not understand that. Less than a year ago, in some deep session with Grok on something (black hole "interior" vs "exterior"), it finally clicked what that really meant. Grok quoted something, and the wording was just right to get the mental picture to click in my mind just so. And that has to do with the questions about is the universe infinite or finite, closed or open (in some sense). That's a question of topology, not geometry, and that depends on "boundary conditions", I'll wave my hands and say. You can have everything we observe now, and that's not enough to tell the difference. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at March 25, 2026 02:22 AM (w6EFb) 486

I can ride a horse. Not with style, but I can and we had horses on the farm. Tony, my first, only wanted to ride the perimeter trail back to his trough and we jumped (by accident) a woodpile once.
My father once showed up with a retired policeman friend he knew to keep his horse. This horse, Fred, and I would stand in the driveway looking at the road. He was a tall horse and did not participate with my commands. He was nice but we rode nowhere but looked good. I once rode a 15mi mountain ridge and back with a Navajo princess who knew what she was doing. My horse followed hers and I lived to tell the story and amazing adventure. Sore for two days. Before that I tried, and did not do well, to ride with an English saddle (like the one above) around Hyde Park in London. A girl I didn't know talked me into that during our English trip. This horse wanted to simply gallop back to his stable of rentals and eat. I made an arse of myself (I do this now and then) with many nannies and strangers pointing at me laughing. Totally out of and beyond my control, but I stayed on the horse, bouncing a lot. The lovely green park was a blur. It was the worst ride, ever, of any skill I had.

Years ago I needed a duplicate birth certificate. Dropped a line and a few bucks to the powers that be in Columbus, OH with a little info and had it in hand in a couple weeks. The duplicate was all filled in in some of the most beautiful cursive handwriting. Why, I don't know.

Re birth certificate: Because my mother was not an idiot, she gave me my original birth certificate and a notarized duplicate when I moved out on my own. I had to provide it to my employer for my first real (professional) job. Don't remember if I needed it to get a new driver's license in TX when I moved there--my prior driver's license may have been good enough for them. At any rate, I had assumed that this was pretty much normal behavior for everybody (i.e., act like an adult and have your shit in order), but modern Democrats are a different breed (perhaps not even human).

Posted by: illiniwek at March 24, 2026 07:48 PM (vbXSk) --- The Ark of the Covenant was just a box with some things in it. A pretty box, but just a box. It was important because God liked to come down and rest there among His people. The Ark was either lost or hidden (Ethiopia says they have it and no, you can't see it.) Anyhow, it was ultimately replaced by the Theotokos, which the New Ark, also know as the Blessed Virgin Mary. This rendered the Ark of the Covenant even more superfluous.

With the "grail", the supposed cup used at the last supper, no one at the time would have seen it as anything as a memento. It wasn't a part of their culture to do anything else. It wasn't until after the fall and a new dark and superstitious age comes that European culture comes to be fascinated by Magic and magical things, possibly a remnant of the old barbarian cultures whose people were now dominant.

"Quantus Insights reported Tuesday that in a Texas Republican Senate primary runoff poll Paxton leads Cornyn 48.8 percent to 41.3 percent, with 9.9 percent undecided. The polling memo also noted that nearly 58 percent of Rep. Wesley Hunt’s supporters are now backing Paxton, suggesting consolidation among non-Cornyn voters following the March 3 primary. The survey further indicates a relatively firm electorate: 88.1 percent of respondents say they are certain to vote, while 78.7 percent describe their choice as definite. Among respondents Paxton’s supporters appear slightly more locked in, with 88 percent saying their vote is definite compared to 86 percent of Cornyn supporters."

He rode for about 16 or do years and he loved it. Two seasons, Fall and Spring, and then they would compete at the fair. We have a display of his rosettes and medals in his room.He's very proud of them. He's not a big person, 5'4'" but has no fear of horses. He rode some pretty big ones in the therapy. He actually had a horse fall asleep while they were waiting their turn at whatever the exercise was.

Just out of curiosity I went to my county recorder's website and sure enough - The County Recorder's function is to maintain permanent public records involving a wide variety of instruments. These documents detail transactions involved in: real estate, personal property, mortgages, liens, leases, subdivision plats, military discharges, Public Official bonds, etc. Generally, all of these instruments are recorded either for giving legal public notice of their existence or for safekeeping and future reference.

Looks like one of our semi-regulars is also posting at DU:
"And so it begins... ICE agents storm into our airports to assist the TSA with security. They walk around like the cocks on the block. They hover over the agents as they try to do their jobs. They intimidate the traveling public. They slam women to the floor and handcuff them, in front of their children, all the while yelling profanities. This is a test. If they can enter our airports and intimidate people, what's to keep them from entering our polling places. This is the beginning and how we react will determine what they do in the future. Republicans pray to their God that the American people do not wake up from this nightmare. Otherwise, there would be hell to pay. Democrats have offered to fund TSA separately in order to keep the air traffic moving, but Republicans have voted it down several times, at the orders of their leader, Donald J Trump. There is presently a full-scale attack on our voting system and the Republicans are putting their faith in Donald Trump to save their jobs and careers, by whatever means necessary.

Therapeutic riding has so many wonderful benefits. The whole program was wonderful. Watching these disabled and challenged kids climb (or be lifted) up on those beautiful animals was so moving. All the volunteer time, effort, hauling the horses, getting the training -- it was a LOT of work, but it was done with love.
M misses it. He did some therapeutic work at a local ranch that provides therapy to kids with PTSD, autism, mental and emotional issues. The move during covid just about undid our kid, but grooming and interacting with the horses, feeding the other animals, mucking out stalls helped him so much. No riding there, though.

The thing with 10mm is that the platforms that use it aren't particularly interesting or unique, and it's just a little spicier than .40 and costs more.
An alternative way to consider 10mm / .40 S&W is to recall that the 'S&W' in this instance stands for 'Short & Weak'. Yes, the 10mm generally available is downloaded, unfortunately, but handloading, and certain cartridges (such as available from Buffalo Bore) remedy that. Properly loaded, 10mm can approach the lower edge of .41 Magnum performance. Now .41 Magnum, by contrast not only is super-expensive and hard to find, but so are the platforms that support it, which is why it is the weapon of choice for trust-funders, investment bankers and oil tycoons. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at March 24, 2026 08:23 PM Quality .41 Mag ammo can be expensive. The remedy is handloading. I, personally, don't have an issue finding numerous platforms to support it, but, in fairness, most of said platforms are 30 to 50 or a little more years old, and prices were much more reasonable, if you had the foresight to acquire them, particularly during the shift from revolvers to semis, which devalued revolvers unreasonably.

This is in the same class as the (more mythical) Grail, and what interests me is that Greco-Roman culture did not seem to have a fascination with magical Objects of Power. With the "grail", the supposed cup used at the last supper, no one at the time would have seen it as anything as a memento. It wasn't a part of their culture to do anything else.
It wasn't until after the fall and a new dark and superstitious age comes that European culture comes to be fascinated by Magic and magical things, possibly a remnant of the old barbarian cultures whose people were now dominant.

All three of my nephews are leftist, from what I can tell. The oldest has four daughters, his wife is of two sets of parents, two of them university profs. She proudly declared her "family is a Biden family". Sad because they homeschooled their four "Christian" daughters, and I'm not sure that nephew family doctor is fully on board with her "ideology". They do some Africa outreach. My older sister was also leftist (gone now, life on SSI), but gave our family the three nephews that are successful, but also leftist. The other sister is full blown Karen, retired teacher. Hard to communicate with them without getting into the political (reality) sections of real life.

Ben Had...I love horses. I never had lessons from someone like you. Would have helped a lot. My father believed in learning as you go. I can saddle a horse,etc. Ride gracefully, no.
Unfortunately, it was like my first ski trips in college. Boys would take me to the top of a mountain, after showing me how to snow plow, and that is not the choice for your first slope, and difficult blue run. I told them on every trip, "I am from Mississippi, I don't know how to ski." They'd all say, "Oh, you can do it!" Nice to have that confidence in me! I was a po' college girl who could not afford to downhill ski,the passes, equipment or lessons, so we mostly did cross country skiing over the years. An adult with kids before I had a professional lesson and "just like that" it made sense vs a bf or guy anxious for his next run. "Did the girl make it" was probably the question halfway down at the beer place on the mountain. I did have a lot of fun, whether skiing or falling down part of the mountain. Youth is a factor of survival. My grandchildren are on skis from the age of 2yrs with a tether to their father (our son). Ski without poles til about 7yrs.

Wow, I missed that. Yeah, no. Greco-Roman culture was OBSESSED with magic. These were people who had to kill a pigeon before they could take a dump.
Sacred chickens, goats, every god had their own type of sacrifice, whole colleges of augurs, no they were VERY into magic. It's right there in the histories. "In the spring of that year, the Spartans advanced into the territory of Argos, but the livers of the sacrifices were unhealthy, and so they turned back." Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at March 24, 2026 08:41 PM (ZOv7s) A General in named Claudius once took auspices in his fleet outside a harbor before the Carthaginian fleet. The chickens would not eat so he threw the cages and chickens overboard crying "If they won't eat LET THEM DRINK". Obviously the Romans lost and blamed it on his Impiety.

Louisville agreed to pay Christian photographer Chelsey Nelson $800,000 in attorney's fees after she prevailed over its public accommodations law that required her to photograph same-sex weddings if she did traditional weddings and censored her from stating "her unwillingness to do so or otherwise make same-sex couples feel 'unwelcome.'"
The settlement over attorney's fees was reached Tuesday, more than three years after a federal court ruled the First Amendment supersedes the statute and banned the Kentucky city from "either compelling or suppressing Nelson’s photography and writing."

It was my primary task until about 2016. The design didn't change very much. Its modular design was made necessary and constrained by how much mass SLS could send to a high lunar orbit. I never expected it to be built. It was interesting work, though, learning about high lunar orbits and working through the design problems. We developed a design that was absolutely feasible, but it had no useful purpose for what it would cost. Posted by: Gref at March 24, 2026 09:49 PM (5rh/l) 254

What a difference a real DOJ makes! On Monday, the Maine District U.S. Attorney's Office released the most delightful news brief:Believe it or not, she's a Woke White Woman who supports BLM. Luke Skywalker emailed me: "No... That's not true! That's impossible!" Sorry, Luke, it is very true. Also, the paternity test came in and yes, Darth Vader, you are the father!The statement also notes that the FBI investigated the case. Hallelujah! What a giant upgrade from the days when they investigated Catholics and schoolkids' parents! It's also an ice touch -- er, I mean a nice touch that the two illegal aliens who crashed the truck were taken into custody and off the road. Also see the article for two antifa thugs convicted of stalking federal employees. According to evidence presented at a four-day trial, on August 28, 2025, the defendants -- while dressed in black and concealing their faces with black masks -- followed the victim from a federal building in downtown Los Angeles to his personal residence. The victim was heading home to his family for an outing that included a surprise for his sons, ages three and seven. The defendants livestreamed on their Instagram accounts their pursuit of the victim and provided directions as they followed the victim home, encouraging their viewers to share the livestream.

In 2024, 10,347 TB cases were reported in the United States, the CDC said,
The percentage of people who contract and eventually die as a result of TB has been “significantly increasing” in California, the state’s public health department said. In 2010, 8.4% of people infected with tuberculosis died, compared to 14% of TB cases in 2022. More than 80% of TB cases were due to latent tuberculosis infections progressing to active tuberculosis, which means they could have been prevented with testing and treatment, the public health department said. Another 8% of cases involved people who came to California with active tuberculosis, and 9% of infections were linked to recent transmission, according to state data.

I just read that China's trade surplus (opposite of our deficits) was over one trillion (dollars I think). So sure, China wants the free flow of oil to energize their conquest of international trade, while they undermine every "democracy" in the world.

Trump has to do what he believes is the best course of action but if an Iranian peace deal doesn't include the destruction of the Islamic Republic and the burning of its sharia-constitution than I'm going to be highly skeptical that we won't have go back to bombing them in a decade or so.

Variety claims that his politics "overshadowed" his career in martial arts and movie-making. The greatest Community Note of all time put lie to that.![]() She's trippin'. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) spent nearly $19,000 in campaign cash last year on a shrink who specializes in controversial ketamine therapy. The socialist lawmaker hired Boston-based Dr. Brian Boyle, the chief psychiatric officer at Stella, a chain of mental health clinics focusing on "novel" therapies popular with Hollywood and Wall Street. Her campaign paid Boyle $11,550 in March 2025, another $2,800 in May, and $4,375 in October for a total of $18,725, Federal Election Commission records show. The expenses were marked as "leadership training and consulting." It's unclear what the sessions consisted of or who participated. Ocasio-Cortez's campaign did not respond to requests for comment. Boyle, a Harvard-trained doctor, calls himself an "interventional psychiatrist" and specializes in unorthodox methods for treatment-resistant depression, PTSD and anxiety. He's considered a "leading authority" on ketamine, the controversial horse tranquilizer given to "Friends" star Matthew Perry in the month leading up to his tragic death. "I just saw the incredible power of what these treatments could do," Boyle said during a podcast appearance last year about getting into the mind-blowing biz. "It's a ton of fun helping patients get better." Boyle's clinic also offers other treatments popular with the 1 Percent, like stellate ganglion block, an anesthetic injected into a nerve cluster in the neck to calm the body's fight-or-flight response. Billionaires like Bob Parsons, who's battled PTSD since returning from the Vietnam War, have raved about the treatment. "Celebrities tend to be more inclined to be on the hunt for highly effective solutions across beauty, health, mental health, nutrition and so on," Boyle said in an interview last year about the treatment. AOC herself is no stranger to touting the benefits of hallucinogenic drugs for therapy. The "Squad" rep, who campaigned to end the federal prohibition of marijuana in 2018, has three times proposed legislation to make it easier to study magic mushrooms and other psychedelics. As a freshman congresswoman in 2019, she introduced an amendment to allow the feds to spend taxpayer money on studying the medical potential of psilocybin, ecstasy and other drugs to treat mental illnesses, calling the early research "promising." "It's well past time we take drug use out of criminal consideration and into medical consideration," she tweeted at the time.

Chuck Norris was a terrible person. He threatened to tattoo the American flag on the forehead of every atheist if elected president. He was a Christian nationalist right wing asshole and the only world we will ever get is a better place now that he is dead.
Anti vaxxer, chemtrail believer who believed MRIs caused harmful effects on people. Just a moron conspiracy theorist kook. I am tell you as an atheist, I didn't (and nether should you) take that as some *actual* threat, like the wtf happen to people on the Internet that they get so pearl clutching these days? It's funny, I'll bet you wouldn't of said that about him if he was still alive- He has been a far right islamophobe and homophobe for at least 25 years. Supported Prop 8, supported islamic hatred, supported banning gay teens from public groups, supported birther conspiracies, was a Reagan republican as well so he's been a shit for about half his life at least. "He wike twump so I no wike him." Ok. lol. The only reason we're even talking about him is because he gave modern meaning to the great white hope. He was a misogynistic, far right, bloodthirsty supporter of genocide. Posted by: Intercepted Reddit Transmissions brought by the Intrepid AoS Liaison at March 24, 2026 05:12 PM (Ia3Yj) 23

Eh, the LDS church does that with every religious group in Utah. They have helped fund synagogues and episcopal churches and Greek Orthodox churches in the state when they have building projects. They fund everyone. They see it as raising the boats of all the religious communities in the state and building a coalition so we can have a dialogue. This has been so for decades.

Not only should they take the Cuban "driver" out of service, but they should turn him over to ICE to see if he's illegal. Just because he can't speak or read English doesn't *automatically* mean he's illegal. Some of these people are technically legal residents. They just have never bothered to learn English because no one has forced them to.

Lots of interviews with Chuck Norris are popping up on Youtube. They are interesting. I liked how he talked about Bruce Lee (friendly relationship) and the movie they did together. Chuck was a very classy guy, at least going by the interviews I've watched. Also, with the exception of the snearing faggots and commies in the media, the overwhelming reaction from his pears has been sadness and respect. That's more important than respect from some fat, lying, snotty, retard with a byline.

Posted by: Christopher R Taylor That's the gist I get from those interviews. Chuck is a class act and didn't want to come right out and say it.

She left in a quiet snit apparently over not much of anything except me telling her she was probably wrong and Cent Com was not lying (she said the fuel plane was shot down). She left in quite a huff, I'd say.
An old grouch argues that we are in the war with Iran for no reason. Even when some reason with him. He thinks it's to avenge 9/11. Him I don't bother much with. The stupid. It hurts. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at March 24, 2026 04:21 PM (WONhk) == I actually have a former work colleague (huge operation, didn't know him well) who lost his son in that tanker crash. Was an accident apparently as the tankers were switching out, and was at night. It's dangerous. There were trainees working it which is why there were more flyers in the plane than normal. Tragic. But you have to train at some point. At least that is the story being passed around among the work community. Posted by: Black JEM at March 24, 2026 05:34 PM (GZYu7) 94

He could temporarily suspend them, if the rest of SCOTUS agreed, although I don't know for how long. That's about it.

In reality, Chuck would have cleaned Bruce Lee's clock: he was bigger, had more reach, and was a triple crown martial arts champion. Chuck was the real deal.
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at March 24, 2026 05:29 PM Supposedly Chuck was at a restaurant having a private dinner, and someone at a nearby table was able to record the conversation. Chuck was asked who would win in a real fight between him and Bruce Lee, and he answered without hesitation "Bruce Lee". Since they trained together at one point, and were friends, if the story is true, I doubt he had reason to dissimulate. Posted by: Duncanthrax at March 24, 2026 05:40 PM (0sNs1) 108

I love the LNT J-curve rational of microdosing.
These are the same people who think microdosing plastic causes everything from infertility to cancer, even though plastic itself is not harmful. But microdosing psychedelics and stupid mind altering drugs is a good thing. Yes, studies show it reduces depression. I ran into this in semiconductor clean room studies - every study showed that every intervention reduced particle count -- it turned out that studies reduced particle count because people being studied stop doing lazy things. So announce a study and things will automatically improve. I think the same is in play with these depression studies. Being in a study reduces depression.

NYT sued the Pentagon and Pete Hegseth last year because of the new credentialing and access policy. U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman in Washington, D.C., ordered the Pentagon to reinstate the press credentials of seven NYT journalists and struck down some restrictions. The Pentagon immediately closed the "Correspondents’ Corridor" that reporters were used to using. But they will be able to use an “annex” outside the building. When it's available. The spokesman for the Pentagon didn't give a date for construction, let alone building it. Now the reporters and their legal eagles are having a snit-fit.

Chuck Norris. By the time I was 13-14 I was a 3rd degree black belt in Chinese Kempo. The late 70's to early 80's every kid from every karate discipline Tae Kwan Do, Shu Do Kan, Shin Do had Chuck Norris brand hand and foot pads. If you didn't have Chuck Norris brand you' were a dork. God I miss those days at competitions in freezing gyms waiting to fight. Them pads didn't do much. We'd be bloodied and beat the shit out of each other. Dislocations. Stitches. Broken bones.

Trump announced Iran sent "a present" that arrived today, a "very valuable present". No idea what he's talking about.
Market rumors are that the next meeting (scheduled for Pakistan) will be between Kushner/Witkoff and the head of the parliament and former IRGC commander. Controlling Kharg Island doesn't do anything for protecting trade in the strait. Look at a map. It does enable control over Iran oil exports, but so does kicking their ass militarily, as has already happened. Controlling the Iranian coastline would help protect shipping through the straits but Iran is a huge country and could fire on oil tankers from anywhere, even well inland. Only a deal that stops missile production and destroys the remaining inventory truly protects Hormuz shipping. Posted by: Huck Follywood at March 24, 2026 05:50 PM (3ihDZ) 134

43 Not only should they take the Cuban "driver" out of service, but they should turn him over to ICE to see if he's illegal. Just because he can't speak or read English doesn't *automatically* mean he's illegal. Some of these people are technically legal residents. They just have never bothered to learn English because no one has forced them to.

Known diabetic.I had to interfere with his insulin dose by his quack MD weeks prior when he was NPO. Do I: [] Panic, run for breakroom in tears [] Wait til the next shift when he will be dead [] Call for help [] Push code button (he's alive, breathing) [] Go to crash cart, get syringe of glucagon, inject [] All of above I gave him glucagon IM, standing orders for RN in charge, placed him on his side and he woke up quickly vs dying in front of me. I called the hospital nursing supervisor and reported the MD. Filled Incident Report for medical board. Told all the nurses on my floor that this doctor is dangerous.

Posted by: mindful webworker taps the Moronificial Intelligencia at March 24, 2026 09:03 PM (jrd4M) Revealed: Joe Kent Kicked Off the Entire Candace Owens Project to Attack Erika Kirk and Claim the Jews Killed Charlie KirkLunatics. Vicious psychopathic lunatics. So here's the story as alleged: A TPUSA employee named Andrew Kolvet says he wanted to leave no stone unturned in the search for Charlie Kirk's killer. This was in the early hours after the murder, before police discovered the rifle with Tyler Robinson's fingerprints on it, and his texts telling his gay furry lover he was going to do something wonderful. Kolvet knew Joe Kent. He passed to Kent some private DMs of Charlie Kirk -- if I have this right -- complaining that one Jewish donor had stopped funding TPUSA because he didn't like the organization platforming confirmed antisemitic monsters Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson. Kovet's idea -- stupid from the start -- was apparently that maybe this Jewish donor might have killed Charlie Kirk. Kolvet claims he never believed this, but that he wanted to make sure every possible avenue of investigation was open. It's silly, but I'm sure he wasn't thinking quite straight in the hours after his friend was murdered. He trusted that Joe Kent would act like a responsible government official in handling the texts in a responsible, official way. Instead, antisemtic Nazi conspiracy theorist Joe Kent began demanding that Kolvet make the chats public. Kent wasn't investigating the texts; he was trying to create a podcaster "investigation" and public witch-hunt. Even after the assassin's identity was known to everyone who isn't a Jew-hating psychotic. Kolvett refused to make the chats public, because he says he didn't want innocent parties baselessly accused. Especially given that the killer was now known and was not a disappointed Jewish donor but a radical left-wing gay furry sodomite. And then just a week or two later, Candace Owens starts talking about the chats and Tucker Carlson can't stop talking about them, either. Later, Owens actually publishes them. Kovett's conclusion is -- and it seems hard to doubt -- that Joe Kent was a determined conspiracy theorist who could not let go of the idea that Jews Killed Charlie Kirk, even after the proof emerged that the killer was a non-Jewish furry-fucker. And after Kolvett repeatedly refused to make the chats public, Kent gave them to Candace Owens (and probably Tucker Carlson too, although Owens could have given them to Carlson). Note that Joe Kent was a government official and ostensibly a high-ranking counter-terrorism official, but decided to leak private DMs he had been given in his capacity as government official to an extremely unreliable and toxic internet personality. That might be a crime. I don't know. The texts weren't classified but they were sensitive personal information given to a public official for purposes of an official government investigation -- not to leak to a hair-on-fire lunatic podcaster. It is definitely a fireable offense, whether or not a criminal one. And I wonder if it might be the subject of a lawsuit by TPUSA and Erika Kirk, who have been absolutely brutalized due to Joe Kent's leaking to the maniacal conspiracy theorist and defamer Candace Owens. And now Joe Kent announces that he will testify on behalf of Charlie Kirk's actual murderer Tyler Robinson and tell the jury that no, the Jews did it, let this innocent patsy-of-the-Jews free.![]()

This morning I finished reading Conspiracies by F. Paul Wilson, one of the books in his Repairman Jack series.
One thing Wilson makes clear is that conspiracy theorists are absolutely impervious to facts. Any time a fact is brought up that contradicts their theory, they conspiracy nut will find a way to fit the fact into their worldview, rather than adjusting their worldview to align with objective reality. Grifters, who make their living peddling conspiracy theories, are even less receptive to objective reality interfering with their grift.

My question is for the grifters: do you realize that the entire federal intelligence apparatus was secretly, and openly, conspiring to put not-then President Trump in jail, along with everyone else in his orbit? A multi-year conspiracy including the federal judiciary, we now learn.

Tucker had that pile of money, and a following of normies, and a secret backing of foreign money he could count on. He had no reason to jump off the deep end vs the Jews so completely but his own mind.

One thing Wilson makes clear is that conspiracy theorists are absolutely impervious to facts. Any time a fact is brought up that contradicts their theory, they conspiracy nut will find a way to fit the fact into their worldview, rather than adjusting their worldview to align with objective reality. Grifters, who make their living peddling conspiracy theories, are even less receptive to objective reality interfering with their grift.

Kolvet was on Dave Rubin's podcast a few days ago, FWIW. Also, FWIW, Kent said that the FBI (?) denied the counter-intel shop access to the Kirk assassination investigation, which is something that was talked about shortly after the shooting. You would think, with the Antifa nexus with overseas money and influence, you would not want to exclude that part of an investigation, but IDK. I don't think Antifa is a Jewish cabal, btw.

I've literally had people tell me, when confronted with a complete lack of any evidence whatsoever of their conspiracy, and quite a bit of contradictory evidence, that "well of course, the conspirators want to keep the conspiracy hidden!" They really believe the complete absence of any proof of a conspiracy is the best proof the conspiracy exists. Infuriating. Posted by: Elric The Blade at March 24, 2026 04:12 PM (iFTx/) 92

There are several other podcasters with large followings, such as Shawn Ryan, who were immediately suspicious of the Kirk shooting details. They have large audiences and are not necessarily associated with Owens or Carlson.
Some medium-sized podcasters are also not entirely on board with the official findings. Robert O'Neill comes to mind. I'm pointing out that there are others, not related in any way to Carlson or Owens, who have legitimate questions. My take?

Secret knowledge is at the core of every confidence scheme, and socialism and Islam are both in that category -- albeit as whole-of-society grifts, with rewards for self-conquest beyond the dreams of avarice. In either one, whichever clique gets control of the apparatus of the State also acquires all the stored wealth of the country, and enslaves the whole nation on top of it. As Orwell showed in 1984, having a secret enemy is handy for socialist sociopaths' social control. And Emmanuel Goldstein was an obvious choice, because Jews are a handy target for neo-gnostic cult-like grifter cliques. And fin. Posted by: SciVo at March 24, 2026 04:22 PM (Sy6m/) 130

A full majority of traffic to people like Fuentes and Owens comes from the third world, mostly places like Pakistan. Mix that with the Democrat Party's turn away from Israel as something to defend, especially from the younger generations (many of whom are imports from...the third world), and there's your answer. It's a combination of fake online only shit (the podcaster wars) and real world issues (the Corbynization of the Democrat Party).

The term conspiracy theory was created by the CIA in the 60's to discredit anyone who wasn't on board with the narrative they were shilling.
As with many things it is a term with a nominal meaning that has been corrupted thoroughly by the left and the FNM. The moon landing was faked COVID comes from a Chinese lab Haitians immigrants were eating wildlife in OH all "conspiracy theories" but the first is false and the latter two are true. But the FNM uses the same term for all three because they want you to believe the latter two are fake as well. Posted by: 18-1 at March 24, 2026 04:25 PM (sKqQm) 143

Why aren’t people boycotting Tesla any more? I read recently Tesla sales are up in Europe and the US. He'll be a trillionaire soon! He's kissing up to Vance and preparing to influence the 2026 and 2028 elections!
Vance is the walking dead. Anthony Scaramucci says that there's zero chance he becomes Vice President since he wavered from Trump's messaging. One of the first things he did while running DOGE. Was eliminate a bunch of positions from the NHSTA. Those positions oversaw the viability and safety of FSD. And people still trust their safety in this guys hands. They also made cuts to FAA and we just had a major accident at LaGuardia due to (most people speculate) overloaded controller. Fake news, Tesla has more internet bots than Tesla sales. How do you think Trump won the election 🤔 Nothing Musk has done in the last 8 years has been a success and Tesla was only successful because of government welfare. They are allllll over Northern Va. it’s revolting. He fired a huge chunk of the population here and yet here we are. And I gotta say, most of the drivers are not white and if they are they are over 50. For whatever that’s worth.

I'm not persuaded by Ace's outrage.
One, Joe Kent is not an FBI official or a police detective or any kind of investigator of crimes. Why Kolvet gave him this info, who knows. Second, investigators often release bits of info or evidence to the public if they believe they have a reason to do so. There isn't some sacred of duty of confidentiality on the part of the government if you give information to an official investigating a crime. Also just because the killer has been conclusively identified doesn't mean the investigation should stop, because he might have been part of a conspiracy. But more to the point, there is a fight among his supporters and backers to determine where Charlie Kirk stood regarding support for Israel at the time he was killed. Both sides are publicly arguing for their position and there is nothing wrong with that. Anyway, one of the biggest issues that has gotten swept under the rug is the incredible amount of brain-damaging drugs the gay furry and the shooter and their circle of friends were into. Turkey Tom on YouTube did an eye-opening expose on this back in October using discord chats but it fell into a black hole. Posted by: TITP at March 24, 2026 04:39 PM (r3hkP) 186

>> Replacement theology didn't say the Jews don't count anymore, it's everyone else.
The theology here can get quite complex. In his later years while his mind was still sharp, my father got concerned with this. I remember some long arguments he got into over all this, and I wished I had paid more attention. It's OT vs NT, and the role of the Church vs "old Israel/chosen people/covenant" and all that mixed in with End Times Israel. There is a belief, primarily "dispensationlist" that came about that there is sort of parallel track, one for the Church and one for Israel. My father came to reject that as just not viable, not supported by his reading of basic scripture. And again, mixing this with the modern geopolitical situation just makes a mess.

If people are so weak-minded and blunt their own intelligence by "following" people, well, I can't help them. As my mother would say,"Would you jump off a roof if they did?" They DO NOT represent Christianity nor conservatism for ME. And I feel many would agree. They talk/yap/to whover is listening.FOR MONEY and FAME. I have never voted in a single election based on anyone's views but my own. No one influences me but Jesus. And possibly my husband on some things. I have the IQ to read and decide for myself.

Joseph Clay Kent (born April 11, 1980) is an American politician, former United States Army warrant officer, and former Central Intelligence Agency paramilitary officer who served as the director of the National Counterterrorism Center from 2025 to 2026. A member of the Republican Party, Kent was its nominee in the United States House of Representatives election for Washington's third congressional district in 2022 and 2024.
Kent enlisted in the 75th Ranger Regiment and applied for the Special Forces before the September 11 attacks. -wiki Posted by: Itinerant Alley Butcher at March 24, 2026 04:47 PM (/lPRQ) 223

Posted by: Itinerant Alley Butcher The problem for both judges is that the discussions were happening before Grand Jury convening. Howell was trying to give Smith everything he wanted in prior witness and evidence rulings before she stepped down as Chief of the DC district court judges. Thus, Boasberg would accept her rulings for the incoming grand jury indictments in DC for Jack. Both judges may have just committed conspiracy crimes outside of their cozy DC district if the Russia Russia, Dem scam peachment and others are treated as they were--a grand coup against the elected government of the US.

That's another big one with his. Divide MAGA, as well as divide Israel and the US. What is Trump doing with the Donroe Doctrine. Reasserting American control of our hemisphere primarily, as well as being the "world's hegemon" or whatever. Taking out Iran's nuclear ambitions and getting rid of that geopolitical cancer on the world is part of that. If you're the Chicoms or Rooskies or some Islamo-caliphate nutjob, you don't like that. You want American to go back in decline, and not reassert itself. Diving MAGA is a way to do that, along with throwing a monkey wrench into US-Israel alliance.

Posted by: L ===== DataRepublic has a whole string on X this week dealing with Indivisible and its various local chapters. Nasty vile critters. And apparently where a lot of the AID and State Department staffers that were fired went. She documents that they are plotting with global polite version of antifa in other countries to affect US elections. Posted by: whig at March 24, 2026 05:00 PM (E4rtv) 271

ChristyBlinky, I agree with you!! I'm so glad you are here. Posted by: fourseasons at March 24, 2026 04:51 PM (3ek7K) ........................... Love you all but I need a nap for my Post Viral Mitochondria Energy-sapping Invasion (this is a new ICD code I just made up). I need a nap. Which is rare and could lead to insomnia and another made up diagnosis tonight. If you see retarded anti-semitism comments, based on lies from Owens or Cucker, FIGHT BACK. You know the facts. Not often, but sometimes people in the Internet ether tick me off. I will fight back as they are liars and dividers. And many don't bother to check their facts and join the band of retarded thinking. Ace brings truth here. I do long for the day Candace is sued mute by the Macrons, as I honestly don't care what dangles Mrs. Macron sports. I would like to discuss her wig choices with Madam Macron, but otherwise don't care. FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at March 24, 2026 05:01 PM (WONhk) 274

Buy the way it’s not just Candace and Cucker. There’s an entire ecosystem online that is pushing this shit. Some more prominent ones are Jimmy Dore and James Li who have jumped fully on the Jews Ruin Everything bandwagon.

I don’t know if it’s truly a cult, but Tulsi was part of the Scientific Identity Foundation along with her parents and siblings,
It’s run by a guy named Chris Butler and is an offshoot of the Krishna movement which he had been a part of. It’s all yoga, and Hindu-type, guruism. I don’t understand any of it, but as cults go it seems to be pretty mild and slightly right-wing on some issues; no alcohol or drugs, anti-LGBTQ, anti-Islam, etc. I have no idea if Tulsi still participates but she seems to have distanced herself from the group and Butler since it became known she was associated with them.

There are plenty of Jews to hate. Just...not for being Jewish. Like that guy who puts butter and salt on French Toast. Perfectly good reason to hate a guy. No appeal to deity or creed is needed. Unless, of course, he is Irish. Posted by: garrett at March 24, 2026 05:04 PM (Klk40) 286

I know Joe Kent was a special forces operator, I don't know if it was Delta. Has anyone heard anything from his fellow operators about whether or not he was a jackass then?
Posted by: Smell the Glove ==== IIRC, Green Beret. Posted by: whig ---- Back in the Vietnam era, the Green Beanies did a bunch of wet work for the CIA, but that's pretty much over. Today, they're back to their original mission: insurgent and counter-insurgent training of friendly forces. The nasty/black business nowadays is conducted by actual CIA operators with occasion assistance from SOC command. Or, when they need a cutout, by hired mercenaries. Incidentally, many retired/separated GB personnel populate those merc companies. Posted by: buddhaha at March 24, 2026 05:09 PM (8snZr) 303
Candance Owens has further boxed herself into a mess with four young children since her 2019 marriage to the British and American entrepreneur and businessman, former chairman of Turning Point UK.
She's unhinged and needs to leave TP behind, but she can't. I doubt anyone will help her, haul her somewhere for involuntary or voluntary mental health examination for individuals in crisis who pose a danger to themselves or others and then get her help thereafter. The others, their kids are older or grown, so hopefully the idiot parents will just fade away soon, just not soon enough for me.

>>> “This outreach is exemplified by the LDS church’s donations of $25,000 to the construction of an Utah Islamic Center mosque, Hindu temple, and other places of worship.
Eh, the LDS church does that with every religious group in Utah. They have helped fund synagogues and episcopal churches and Greek Orthodox churches in the state when they have building projects. They fund everyone. They see it as raising the boats of all the religious communities in the state and building a coalition so we can have a dialogue. This has been so for decades.

By contrast, Zelensky regularly blasted Charlie in his One Party-Press because Charlie said he was a thug dictator looting America and killing his own people for CIA Blood Money.
Z-Bag has a long history of murdering and jailing his political opponents and chasing them down in other countries. So what would he do to one who was headed for the Presidency, where he had promised to cut off the billions? BTW, Z-Bag sent Nazi Cadres to the Capitol on J6, to smash windows Maidan-style, while wearing MAGA hats to frame all of us. Wouldn't it be just like a Nazi to frame Israel?

Some conspiracy theories are easily proven false: like the flat Earth hypothesis. Look to Aristotle’s observation that the Earth’s shadow on the Moon during a lunar eclipse was always a circle. There is only one three dimensional shape that always casts a circular shadow and that’s a sphere. Known two and a half millennia ago. Next step up is grocentrism, or the Ptolemaic system vs. Copernican heliocentrism. In the form Copernicus presented it his heliocentric system was less accurate than the Ptolemaic system (mostly because he used circular orbits). But it was much simpler than the Ptolemaic system: because of retrograde motion of planets like Mars, the Ptolemaic system had orbits that resembled the kind of figures you get using a Spirograph kit. The simplicity was so appealing that people like Kepler kept working with heliocentrism until they got it to work better than geocentrism: Kepler’s three laws turn out to be predictable by Newtonian gravity and Newtonian mechanics. Even Newtonian physics was imperfect: the drift in the perihelion of Mercury (some 42 arc seconds per Earth century) could only be explained by special and general relativity.

Always be trying to refine your understanding with the simplest possible explanation that is compatible with the known facts. Some people in my church want to use a geocentric explanation of solar system celestial mechanics because it makes their interpretation of certain passages in the Bible simpler. You can go geocentric if you want to under general relativity, but you give up the simpler orbits of the heliocentric model for the horrendously complicated orbits of the Ptolemaic system. I agree with Augustine of Hippo: you shouldn’t insist on an interpretation of the Bible that makes a pagan laugh at your understanding of nature when there is an interpretation that is in accord with both Scripture (special revelation) and what we observe and measure in nature (general revelation).

Carlson, Kent, and Owens are such heinous MONSTERS. What they have done (and are continuing to do) to Charlie Kirk's family and Charlie's friends that it fills me with rage. And it makes me sad knowing that Charlie's family and friends have to put up with their evil doings. Grotesque and disgusting, these fiends.

This is rich.
Tyler Robinson was more likely the receiving end of the menage a deux. That made him malleable to perform an (accused) act outside of his normal behavior. Andrew Kolvet and Joe Kent seemed already prepped to publicly (mis)guide the reason for Charlie Kirk's assassination. In a crime investigation, always consider sources to be misdirection. Immediately pointing to the Jews without solid justification gives no credence to the plausible reason for the assassination. If our FBI had two neurons communicating together they would add Andrew and Joe to their in-depth investigation.
