  • Zen fascists will control you...

    The word that the song never uses, but engages with constantly is purity. Jello Biafra wasn't writing a political science paper but structurally, “purity” runs all the way through it. The Zen fascist doesn't want to punish you out of hatred. He wants to cleanse you for your own good. He has done the work. He has achieved a higher state. And he would very much like you to achieve it too, whether you want to or not. This is the thing about the politics of purity that makes it so durable, and so dangerous: it doesn't require malice. It requires only the conviction that you know what clean looks like, and the will to impose it on others, for their own good. Both the counterculture and the authoritarian right are obsessed with purity. The targets differ wildly — the body, the race, the culture, the blood, the food, the mind. But the cognitive shape is identical. And that shared shape is the on-ramp. It's how you can get from granola to fascism without ever feeling like you've made a wrong turn.

  • NASA's Van Allen Probe A to re-enter atmosphere

    This reentry is notable because it poses a higher risk to the public than the US government typically allows. The risk of harm coming to anyone on Earth is still low, approximately 1 in 4,200, but it exceeds the government standard of a 1 in 10,000 chance of an uncontrolled reentry causing a casualty. “Due to late-stage design changes, the potential risk of uncontrolled reentry increased,” a NASA spokesperson told Ars. “After taking into account the mission’s scientific benefits and the low risk of harm to anyone on Earth, NASA granted a waiver to address the non-compliance with the US Government Orbital Debris Mitigation Standard Practices. Consistent with national policy, NASA notified the US Department of State about the exception.”

    NASA ended the mission in 2019 when the satellites ran out of fuel. At that time, NASA engineers expected the spacecraft to reenter the atmosphere in 2034. But higher-than-anticipated solar activity caused the atmosphere to swell outward, increasing atmospheric drag on the satellites beyond initial estimates, according to NASA. Van Allen Probe B is expected to reenter no earlier than 2030, with a similar risk to the public.

  • Interstellar Comet 3I/Atlas Has Another Surprise: It's Full of Alcohol

    The observations show that 3I/ATLAS contains significantly more methanol than hydrogen cyanide, unlike nearly all previously studied comets. These findings provide a rare opportunity to study the chemistry of planetary systems beyond our own. The team focused on the faint submillimeter signatures of two molecules: methanol (CH₃OH), an alcohol, and hydrogen cyanide (HCN), a nitrogen-bearing organic molecule commonly observed in comets. The ALMA data reveal that 3I/ATLAS is strongly enriched in methanol compared to hydrogen cyanide. On two observing dates, the researchers measured methanol-to-HCN ratios of about 70 and 120, placing 3I/ATLAS among the most methanol-rich comets ever studied.

  • Trump says U.S. will build first refinery in 50 years

  • Trump takes his war against Thomas Massie straight to his home Kentucky home district.

    Trump endorsed Massie’s primary opponent, Ed Gallrein, who will be at the event in Hebron, Ky., per his campaign. The president will also be making a stop in Ohio. “You can have differences, but you have to be constructive. He is not constructive. In fact, he’s the Democrats’ favorite member,” a senior administration official told The Post. Massie has outraged the White House on multiple occasions: he refused to support Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” which was the president’s signature domestic policy agenda; he criticized Trump’s foreign policy and accused him of executive overreach on the attacks on drug boats and Iran; and he led the charge on demanding the Justice Department release all its files in the Jeffrey Epstein case.

  • Why the US Should Ratify the Congressional Apportionment Amendment

    eleven of the original twelve Bill of Rights amendments have made it into the Constitution. There’s only one left. It’s been ratified by eleven states already. If twenty-seven more states agree, it will become the law of the land. It is the right to Giant Congress.

    The US is far bigger than in the Framers’ time, so it’s the 50,000 number that would apply in the present day. This would increase the size of the House of Representatives from 435 reps to 6,6412. Wyoming would have 12 seats; California would have 791.

    Red Mafiya gained a cult following during Trump’s first term. The book elucidates the structure of Trump’s life and presidency: a merger of organized crime, white-collar crime, and government by criminals who elude, then rewrite, borders and laws. Some blame Russia for the US downfall, some blame Israel, but it was always both — along with American collaborators and assorted global operatives.

    A fiscal note provided for Tuesday’s (March 10) Public Safety Committee meeting states, “To the extent that appropriations made in the 2026 Adopted Budget support other activities, and for which SDOT cannot find efficiencies / savings to otherwise support, SDOT may have to delay or defer projects or programs to free up funding for the signage costs that will be incurred pursuant to this legislation. Cost for signage is indeterminate at this point as FAS has not yet completed a review of all the properties that would be covered by this legislation.”

  • The Obvious Is Taking Its Revenge on Trump - The Atlantic

    In the least charitable—and probably accurate—view, President Trump went to war with Iran out of a delusional faith in himself. He believed that the worst-case scenarios that have deterred past presidents from attacking Iran wouldn’t come true for him, because he is Donald Trump. In the most charitable—and probably accurate—view, the president had reasons to believe that all of the catastrophic warnings about the most hair-raising consequences of an attack wouldn’t come to pass this time. The 12-day war, which Israel and the United States fought last June, demonstrated that they could strike Iran without provoking catastrophic retaliation. Having endured that assault on the country’s military infrastructure, and then wave after wave of protest by its own citizens, the Islamic Republic was isolated and weak. So why shouldn’t Trump exploit that fragility to land a death blow against a murderous adversary?

    I could nearly convince myself of these arguments, except that almost no other foreign-policy question has been studied harder over the past 20 years or so than the likely effect of U.S. military strikes on Iran. The many years spent pondering and preparing for a potential attack on Iran are the reason that the first days of the war were, for the most part, a bravura display of American power. Yet all of that study also pointed out the risks: spiking oil prices, the spread of violence throughout the Middle East, civilian casualties of the sort now evidenced by an apparent U.S. missile strike near an Iranian elementary school.

  • NYC Bomb Attempt: Media Can’t Hide Truth

    two young men — identified in reports as Emir Balat (age 18) and Ibrahim Kayumi (age 19) — to rush forward, shout “Allahu akbar,” and hurl improvised explosive devices into the crowd. The bombs, filled with bolts and screws, thankfully failed to detonate, and the two men were immediately apprehended by a fast-moving NYPD. There is no doubt as to their motivations: Both men spoke freely and unrepentantly to police at the scene, proudly claiming inspiration from ISIS and stating they had intended their terrorist atrocity to be “bigger than Boston” — a reference to the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing that took the lives of three and injured scores more. Only the incompetence of the bombers prevented Saturday from turning into one of the darkest days in recent New York history.

    all of these headlines — or countless others from similarly situated media outlets — are carefully crafted to avoid stating a politically inconvenient truth: Islamic terrorists came horrifyingly close to detonating bombs in a crowd of protesters. Instead, our attention is directed toward the “hateful” nature of the rally, and readers are asked to fill in the missing narrative gaps with their own imaginations instead.

  • FBI warns Iran aspired to attack California with drones in retaliation for war

    The FBI warned police departments in California in recent days that Iran could retaliate for American attacks by launching drones at the West Coast, according to an alert reviewed by ABC News. “We recently acquired information that as of early February 2026, Iran allegedly aspired to conduct a surprise attack using unmanned aerial vehicles from an unidentified vessel off the coast of the United State Homeland, specifically against unspecified targets in California, in the event that the US conducted strikes against Iran,” according to the alert distributed at the end of February. “We have no additional information on the timing, method, target, or perpetrators of this alleged attack.”

  • We Were Right About Havana Syndrome

    Since 1996, intelligence officers, diplomats, and military servicemembers have reported hundreds of cases of what is commonly known as Havana Syndrome — a misnomer for a condition officially designated by the U.S. government as “Anomalous Health Incidents.” I am one of them.

    However, despite all the promises from Gabbard, CIA director John Ratcliffe, and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence to reopen the investigation and recall previous flawed analysis, there is still no visible progress. Recent news that the U.S. government purchased a device on the black market that produces pulsed radio waves and contains Russian components, and that the Norwegian government investigated and tested such a device, contradicts earlier assessments that such things do not exist. Victims are feeling a creeping sense of betrayal once again. I cannot help but wonder whether the intelligence community, especially the CIA, is continuing to stonewall us.

    a foreign adversary appears likely responsible for causing Havana Syndrome. That possibility demands sustained resources and a whole-of-government investigation, not one led solely by a biased CIA. If evidence confirms a hostile power targeted U.S. personnel, the government should respond forcefully. If it is Russia, then the administration should have the courage to act, regardless of consequences. The stakes — for U.S. national security and for those who are called to serve overseas — are too high for equivocation.

    But each parcel contained a sophisticated incendiary device. The tubes of cosmetics had been re-filled with a liquid high explosive called nitromethane and the ignition devices were so well hidden inside the cushions even an airport scanner didn't detect them. Suranovas maintains he had no idea of this. Suranovas was arrested and charged with carrying out an act of terrorism on behalf of Russian military intelligence, the GRU. Twenty-two people are now in custody in Lithuania and Poland after an international investigation involving UK counter-terrorism officers. It concluded that the operation was run by Russia, an allegation consistently denied by Moscow. This is the first time anyone involved in the parcel plot has spoken publicly.
