Finally, the only daily, global, free map of GPS interference has officially launched: gpsjam.org Watch jamming around conflict zones develop over time. Wonder who's jamming GPS all around Moscow. Like all the best maps, it raises more questions than it answers!

holy shit - perusing through paul reuben's estate auction and discovered a never made imagineering pitch for a pee wee/ernest p worrell collab

I’m in Anaheim at D23. Come ask me questions about Anzellans.

I tried to lay out my thoughts on the N249CP medevac crash in New Mexico during the White Sands Missile Range GPS jamming exercise in an HN comment: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=491810…

In the best case scenario, Trump struck a deal to reopen a Strait that was open before the pointless war he started, with the IRGC demonstrating its control over the Strait and potentially extracting fees plus sanctions relief. Thousands of innocents - including hundreds of children - dead in Lebanon and Iran for no reason. U.S. troops killed and wounded. U.S. embassies and bases in the Middle East badly damaged. U.S. standing in the world obliterated. U.S. munitions badly depleted. Hundreds of billions spent. Prices up everywhere. More global economic fallout to come. Putin strengthened and enriched. Just a catastrophic situation even in the best of circumstances. A profoundly shameful episode in American history no matter what happens next.

Neguse: Where is this company headquartered?

Noem: I don’t know.

Neguse: I don’t know either. We can’t find it. We did find an address that’s registered to a political operative. This company that received 143 million dollars was incorporated 8 days before this contract went rican people to believe that this is all above board, that $143 million of taxpayer money just happened to go to this one company that doesn't have a headquarters, doesn't have a website, has never done work for the federal government before and is registered apparently or attached to a residence from a political operative, and of course one of the subcontractors of that contract, as you know, is a political firm that's tied to, to you back when you were governor of South Dakota?

My dad (Richard Feynman) had a side hustle doing industrial consulting. He'd spend a few hours visiting a company, talking to the engineers, looking at stuff, and then maybe have a good suggestion. Sometimes he would bring his son along. I only recall one of his suggestions, but it made the company he was consulting for way better off, so I guess his exorbitant consulting fees were worth it. We could have been wealthier if he had done it systematically, but he didn't want to be organized about looking for jobs, so it just happened when someone asked.

@idavidrein "Do you really think silicon valley elites would risk the world on dangerous AI projects? Doesn't that seem incredibly uncharitable to assume?"

"Well they literally killed 100k people for no reason and named it after a meme-coin."

I went on a field trip led by Peter Merlin to look at X-plane crash sites in the Mojave Desert.

President Donald Trump pardoned a member of the US military who was in court martial proceedings for murdering a prisoner, and he pardoned another member of the US military who was convicted by the US military on multiple counts of murdering civilians.

I'm locked out of my email by this reCAPTCHA, can someone help?

Here’s video of federal agents doing a drive by pepper spraying that hit a father and his one-year old on Saturday when the Feds were hitting Little Village and Cicero

It’s 1957, you’re flipping through Aviation Week thinking about your next job. Which opportunity are you taking?

Elon Musk has enormous resources on hand. He has very smart people around him and who work for him, who can explain stuff to him.

He is posting this because he is doing political propaganda and is either pretending to not understand, or is willfully avoiding understanding.

A lot of viral political content is people simply not understanding how things work and how things happened in the way that they did. The listing of names on ballots is a standardized process. No one is manipulating it to help a particular candidate in a particular election.

There's less than one full month left in 2025, but I feel good if I can post at least one significant project per year and PIMINTO is a good one. "I think this hasn't got as much attention as it deserves." – someone on the @ArmsControlWonk slack. heavymeta.org/projects/

@ArmsControlWonk I do have an even bigger & cooler, still-secret project that might make it in under the line for 2025.

BREAKING: The FAA warned there would be NO CONTROLLERS WORKING tonight—and is now leaning on air traffic control *supervisors* to keep flights flowing into Orlando International Airport—a source familiar tells me.
