"One Fine Day"
*"One Fine Day: * *David Byrne Performs His Hymn of Optimism and Countercultural* * Anthem of Resistance and Resilience with the Brooklyn Youth Chorus"* by Maria Popova "In the spring of 2019, when David Byrne (b. May 14, 1952) took the stage at the third annual Universe in Verse to read a science-inspired love poem to time and chance titled “Achieving Perspective,” I introduced him as one of the last standing idealists in our world - a countercultural force of lucid and luminous optimism, kindred to Walt Whitman, who wrote so passionately about optimism as a mighty force of resistan... more »
Britain And Italy Say They Can’t Wait For A COVID-19 Vaccine To Reopen
*AP: **European leaders are blunt: A vaccine won’t come soon enough* SOAVE, Italy (AP) — In separate, stark warnings, two major European leaders have bluntly told their citizens that the world needs to adapt to living with the coronavirus and cannot wait to be saved by the development of a vaccine. The comments by Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson came as nations around the world and U.S. states are both struggling with restarting economies blindsided by the pandemic.

A Religious Dispute Roils The Balkans
*Nicholas Labecki* *Security, Europe* Montenegro may never fully free itself from Russian and Serbian influence. But membership in NATO, coupled with future accession to the EU, will provide a bulwark against foreign efforts to interfere in Montenegrin affairs. The country’s religious identity is thus much more than a battle for influence. It represents a microcosm of the struggle for the soul of this Adriatic state. Historians of the First World War saw the Balkans as “the powder keg of Europe,” and for good reason. Not only did the region provide the spark that ignited the fir... more »
Meet the M-70: Russia's Secret Supersonic Amphibious Bomber
*Michael Peck* *Technology, Europe* [image: Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=60325] A cool idea, but Moscow soon realized ICBMs were way better. *Key point: *These planes would have gone fast to deliver their payloads during a nuclear war. But such weapons did not make sense as the rocket age dawned. With airline passengers crammed like sardines, it’s hard to remember there was a time when airliners were more like ocean liners. In the 1930s, seaplanes were queens of the sky. Clipper seaplanes like the Boeing 314 were the 747s of the era, carrying p... more »
Meet The "Bull" Of The Navy's U.S. Third Fleet
*Warfare History Network* *History, * Admiral William F. “Bull” Halsey earned a legendary reputation for daring and boldness as commander of the U.S. Third Fleet. Just before dawn, the aircraft carrier USS *Enterprise* turned into the wind to launch her planes. Nervous and excited pilots roared into the darkness of the vast Pacific toward the unsuspecting Japanese. The “Big E” would repeat this scene many times during the war, but this morning, January 31, 1942, in the Marshall Islands was the first time since Pearl Harbor that an American surface vessel had struck an offensive b... more »
History Lesson: 15,000 Japanese Civilians Committed Suicide At The Battle For Saipan
*Warfare History Network* *History, Asia* As the two leaders of the Japanese garrison on Saipan were committing ceremonial suicide, 3,000 of their followers were poised to strike one last blow. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Repercussions from the fighting on Saipan reverberated back to Japan. The defeat of their army caused Premier Hideki Tojo and his entire cabinet to resign. Emperor Hirohito and other members of the military were visibly shaken. One senior officer exclaimed: ”Hell is upon us.” Peering through his binoculars, Vice Adm. Chuichi Nagumo was in awe of the ne... more »
North Korea's Best Battle Tank Is Old School (Like 1960s Technology)
*Caleb Larson* *Security, Asia* This might be the DPRK’s most advanced tank—though it's based on tech from the 1960s. This might be the DPRK’s most advanced tank—though it's based on tech from the 1960s. *Self-reliance* North Korea attempts to be as self-reliant as possible, and tries to provide itself with its own home-grown weapon designs. This desire to independently produce weapons probably stems from North Korea’s self-perception as a former client state of both China and the Soviet Union, and the DPRK's subsequent abandonment by both countries. *Fire* Both China and the... more »

How Dangerous Coronavirus Conspiracies Spread
Stephan Lewandowsky studies the way people think, and in particular, why they engage in conspiracy theories. So when the cognitive scientist from England’s University of Bristol observes wild speculation related to the COVID-19 pandemic, he sees how it fits into the historical pattern of misinformation and fake news. I recently wrote about the viral video “Plandemic” as an investigative reporter assessing the range of unsubstantiated COVID-19 allegations put forth by a controversial researcher. Lewandowsky comes at the video and others like it from a science-based perspective. He ... more »

Imperialism And COVID-19
We are not in this together. The divisions that run through our society going into the COVID-19 crisis have only been heightened. Racialized workers are seeing higher rates of infections and deaths because they disproportionately work in low-paying frontline jobs. Women, racialized, migrant and low-wage workers have disproportionately been impacted by the closure of the economy through job losses and the loss of public services such as schools. Just as the COVID-19 crisis exposes and deepens inequality at the national level, so too does the crisis play out on the international le... more »
On Contact: Paris Uprising, May 1968
On the show this week, Chris Hedges talks to author and translator, Mitch Abidor, about the lessons from the student uprising in Paris in May 1968. "What happens in May is as a mass cultural, as a class event, its results are ambiguous but its results for the individual are enormous. There was a great and really funny example in the book when I asked everybody, "How did it change your life?" And so people told me about how "I discovered my voice. The first time I spoke it changed my entire being." Mitch Abidor’s book is entitled ‘May Made Me – An Oral History of the 1968 Uprising ... more »

The only reason for abortion is casual sex
If a man and a woman who love each other have an unexpected pregnancy they're not going to kill their child. If they can't afford another child, which rarely the case, they can put their child up for adoption. Abortion is a tool of the patriarchy to ensure that women are available as objects to be used for the sexual gratification of men without the men having to face any long term consequences. Without abortion every hook up could mean 18 years of child support. With abortion men can just tell the woman to kill their child and walk away from their responsibilities. Abortion isn't... more »
