Jay Inslee Wants You To Think Of His Presidential Campaign When You Think Of Climate Change
"I'm Jay Inslee; I'm running for president because I'm the only only candidate who will make defeating climate change our nation's number one priority." So who is he? H was elected governor of Washington in 2012. He was elected to the state legislature in 1988 and then to Congress in 1992 where he was defeated after serving one term. He was reelected though in 1998 in a bluer district and was reelected 6 times (as a New Dem) before being elected governor. He was a Green New Deal proponent before anyone came up with the name Green New Deal. He announced his candidacy, just as Hart... more »

Here's a lovely tribute to the BBC (prompted by the BBC News website's home page at this very moment):
When fight against "group think" becomes a delusion
A lady's enemy is an innocent tautology A new tirade by Ms Hossenfelder, Check your Biases, has increased my blood pressure right after the lunch. Hossenfelder's targets are folks from CERN, starting with its director Fabiola Gianotti, but her main goal is to turn sociologists into scientists' bosses again. From Eclectikus: Sheldon Glashow wrote a review (for Inference) of Hossenfelder's disturbing book and you can be sure that even though he's a pioneer among string theory haters, he's also the elegant gentleman I knew in Greater Boston's social events (and whose office I was using... more »

*Even the Washington Post rips green new deal: ‘we can’t afford bad ideas’* The Washington Post editorial board came out against the Green New Deal resolution championed by Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her allies. “Good intentions aren’t enough. We can’t afford bad ideas,” the editorial board wrote in its Green New Deal takedown posted Sunday. While the editorial board agreed with the broad energy goals of the Green New Deal, the Post leveled criticism against the resolution’s 10-year timeline and inclusion of totally unrelated welfare demands. “They shou... more »

The King's Shropshire Light Infantry 1865 - 1912 The British Army stopped going to war wearing red before the onset of hostilities in the First World War. Some regiments still wore navy blue patrol uniforms, though. Officers wore swords, and horse cavalry was considered essential - in 1914. We always prepare to fight the last war. Keep that in mind as I shift gears for you. Australia is for sale, and as the graphic illustrates, there is still some land left, even though the choice pieces seem to be owned by China.

Magnificent, but fatally flawed
Fifty years ago today, on March 2nd, 1969, the supersonic Anglo-French airliner Concorde made its first flight. It held out the promise of much faster air travel, "shrinking the globe". As Flight International noted at the time: From the beginning of time until about 1840, the distance a man could travel between getting up and going to bed was about 75 miles… then technology produced the aeroplane, and today a man can travel 7,000 miles in his waking hours. When the supersonic era is inaugurated this 12h distance will have become 12,000 miles, which is pretty well anywhere on ... more »

This upgrade was primarily geared towards the urban combat the Abrams was facing at the time in Iraq. The SEPv2 added the Common Remotely Operated Weapons Station to the Abrams to allow the commander to shoot at targets from the safety of inside the tank, and improved the side and front armor of the tank with standard mounts for the Tank Urban Survival Kit set ... more »
