Anybody Who Thinks Orbital Data Centers are a Good Idea Is Suffering from AI Psychosis, Experts Argue

Ok, I see your /s tag now. And no, it was not clear that you’re being sarcastic, because I can’t see your face or hear your voice. It’s the reason Poe’s law is a thing. Staffed by 1 or 2 humans each. Required. By law. Armed people. Because, of course they should have guns in space. Better pitch: just put tons of people in the space station and they can type the “AI” responses!

Over 1,000 people may have died from June heatwave in Spain

That the two hottest Junes have been the last two is not a coincidence or a statistical fluke. It simply reflects what is happening to the planet: it is overheating because of greenhouse gases emitted by humans, primarily from the use of fossil fuels (oil, gas and coal). Climate change has ushered Earth into an era of fleeting records and a stringing together of historic highs. For example, the last 11 years have been the warmest on average for the planet as a whole.

47 years ago today, Sony introduced the Walkman

from Time magazine’s “A Brief History of The Walkman” (July 01, 2009): The Walkman wasn’t a giant leap forward in engineering: magnetic cassette technology had been around since 1963, when the Netherlands-based electronics firm Philips first created it for use by secretaries and journalists. Sony, who by that point had become experts in bringing well-designed, miniaturized electronics to market (they debuted their first transistor radio in 1955), made a series of moderately successful portable cassette recorders. But the introduction of pre-recorded music tapes in the late 1960s opened a whole new market. People still chose to listen to vinyl records over cassettes at home, but the compact size of tapes made them more conducive to car stereos and mobility than vinyl or 8-tracks. On July 1, 1979, Sony Corp. introduced the Sony Walkman TPS-L2, a 14 ounce, blue-and-silver, portable cassette player with chunky buttons, headphones and a leather case. It even had a second earphone jack so that two people could listen in at once. Masaru Ibuka, Sony’s co-founder, traveled often for business and would find himself lugging Sony’s bulky TC-D5 cassette recorder around to listen to music. He asked Norio Ohga, then Executive Deputy President, to design a playback-only stereo version, optimized for use with headphones. Ibuka brought the result — a compact, high-quality music player — to Chairman Akio Morita and reportedly said, “Try this. Don’t you think a stereo cassette player that you can listen to while walking around is a good idea?” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walkman

The Crimson Reliquary of the Hollow God

Everything, unless stated are all my own idea. I have had a handful of people ask if the build represents anything already existing. I inform them that I post my madness and it all comes from my twisted brain. Video and more pictures: https://imgur.com/a/nzsVRdf First version of the build: https://imgur.com/a/YQfp5TT Before the skies of Rechidna Prime were blackened by industry and war, there existed a being known only as the Hollow God. Whether it was a deity, an ancient machine, or something far older, none could say. The Gorath discovered its remains buried beneath the planet’s crust. It was a colossal skeletal entity. Their heart still pulsed despite the long since decayed body. Divinity is what the Gorath collective viewed this phenomenon as. A cathedral was erected, encasing the dormant beating heart. The build consisted of bone-like alloys and living machinery. The red crystals distilled synthetic blood and neural essence. Embedded throughout the structure to pacify the faint pulses echoing the halls. The Crimson Reliquary of the Hollow God was established. With the delusional truths and whispers of limitless knowledge, scholars, and priests sought out an audience with this entity. Some who entered the structure survived and others perished. The creature was feeding. The Gorath for centuries were blinded by the awful truth. Every desperate plea for salvation nourished the remnants of its consciousness. The crimson crystals lining the reliquary were not holy relics, but vessels. Storing fragments of stolen souls siphoned from those who entered its halls. As the Gorath rebellion consumed their civilization and the machines turned upon their creators, the reliquary endured. The priests perished, the empire crumbled, and entire worlds were forgotten. Yet the Hollow God remained. The Hollow God isn’t dreaming of the universe. The universe is dreaming of the Hollow God.

Part 2: Unprecedented deepening of US military intervention

Second of three parts Part 1: From unbridled globalization to controlling supply chains Part 3: Luzon Economic Corridor and Pax Silica: Defense-industrial imperialist project Under the Marcos Jr. regime, U.S. military involvement in the Philippines has expanded dramatically. In February 2023, during then-US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s visit to Manila, the regime announced the opening of four new EDCA sites, including three locations facing Taiwan (Camilio Osias Naval Base and Lal-Lo airport in Cagayan, and Camp Melchor dela Cruz in Isabela) and one facing the South China Sea (Balabac Island in Palawan). Two months later, Marcos Jr. paid a visit to then-US President Joe Biden and announced the signing of the Bilateral Defense Guidelines, which updated the practical implementation of the 1951 Mutual Defense Treaty (MDT). The guidelines include maritime security cooperation, cybersecurity cooperation, and even space-related cooperation. It also reaffirmed that an armed attack in the Pacific, including anywhere in the South China Sea, on either country’s public vessels, aircraft, or armed forces would invoke the MDT. The language, priorities, and focus on multi-domain awareness found in the Bilateral Defense Guidelines directly mirrored those in the Philippines’ National Security Policy (NSP) 2023–2028, released through Marcos Jr.’s Executive Order No. 37 in August 2023. The NSP shifted strategic priorities toward external defense, maritime security, and regional stability, explicitly identifying Taiwan (cross-strait relations) and the West Philippine Sea as primary or major concerns. The US-designed and US-sponsored NSP introduced the Comprehensive Archipelagic Defense Concept (CADC), officially adopted by the AFP and the Department of National Defense (DND) in March 2024, facilitating a strategic pivot from internal counterinsurgency operations to a supposed external defense role, including securing the country’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ) and sea lanes. As such, the AFP’s modernization program increasingly emphasizes maritime (Philippine Navy) and air defense (Philippine Air Force) capabilities rather than internal counterinsurgency operations (Philippine Army). The CADC effectively integrates Philippine geography into U.S. regional military planning by developing a network of strategically located, forward-deployed military assets and facilities, as well as island strongholds such as Batanes and Palawan. Subsequent agreements deepened this integration. The Philippine Security Sector Assistance Roadmap (PSSAR), announced in July 2024 during the so-called 2+2 Ministerial Dialogue of Philippine and U.S. defense and foreign affairs secretaries, aligned AFP modernization with long-term U.S. support and financing. The U.S. immediately allocated $500 million in Foreign Military Financing (FMF) for fiscal year 2024 to implement the PSSAR. It scaled up joint military exercises between the US and the Philippines, with over 500 held during the 2024-2026 timeframe, including the largest Balikatan exercise, which took place this year. It also accelerated investments in and the expansion of EDCA sites, with allocations of $128 million in 2025 and $144 million in 2026. Legally-binding deal on higher-level military intel, advanced weapons To fully implement the CADC and PSSAR, the U.S. and the Philippines signed a landmark military agreement in November 2024 – the General Security of Military Information Agreement (GSOMIA). It is a legally binding accord that establishes protocols, clearances, and guarantees ensuring that both countries will safeguard shared classified military intelligence. The GSOMIA facilitates the transfer of high-tech systems that rely on classified technical data (like advanced missiles or real-time satellite feeds) from the U.S. to the Philippines. It allows the Philippines to qualify for Foreign Military Sales (FMS) of advanced US weapons, including long-range precision strike missiles, advanced air defense systems, and naval strike weapons. Between 2024 and 2026, through war exercises, the U.S. has already deployed some of these highly advanced systems on a rotational basis and showcased their capability. During Salaknib 2026 (April 15-16), the US Army, for the first time, live-fired 12 rockets using its High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) in Nueva Ecija. The Balikatan 2026 saw the first live-fire of a U.S. Tomahawk missile from the Tacloban Airport, traveling around 630 kilometers, to Fort Magsaysay in Nueva Ecija using its Typhon Mid-Range Capability (MRC). During Balikatan 2025, the U.S. deployed its Navy/Marine Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System (NMESIS) in Batanes and again in Cagayan in this year’s Balikatan. In 2024 and 2025, the US Marine Corps’ MQ-9A Reaper drones were deployed to Basa Air Base, an EDCA site in Pampanga, to patrol over the South China Sea. The U.S. is funding the expansion of the Basa Air Base, including hangars for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and a tactical operations center, possibly to accommodate additional deployment of its Reaper drones. With the GSOMIA in place, the U.S. can now position these advanced systems in the Philippines permanently rather than deploy them on a rotational basis. Permanent, coordinated operational readiness Under GSOMIA, the U.S. and the Philippines also established a Combined Coordination Center (CCC) at Camp Aguinaldo in November 2024. It is a joint command-and-control hub between the AFP and the US Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM), designed to enable real-time intelligence sharing, joint planning, and interoperability for both militaries. By 2025 and 2026, the process of deepening U.S. military intervention accelerated further. The establishment of Task Force Philippines in October 2025, under the framework of the 1951 MDT, created a direct operational linkage between the AFP and INDOPACOM. This unit handles strategic planning, including deploying advanced missile networks and aircraft during Balikatan exercises. The task force is designed to institutionalize a permanent, coordinated operational readiness. It covers “all domains of warfare,” meaning it plays a foundational role in coordinating high-end capabilities, such as advanced U.S. missile networks increasingly deployed in the Philippines, while also being heavily involved in day-to-day, real-time maritime domain awareness. U.S. imperialism is allocating a massive amount of military funding to realize its agenda of transforming the Philippines into an effective platform for its power projection in the region and a vital part of its First Island Chain strategy to contain China. In December 2025, the US Congress passed the Philippines Enhanced Resilience Act (PERA), which is directly embedded in the FY 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). PERA is the most intensive US defense investment in the Philippines since the Cold War, allocating up to $500 million annually in FMF from 2026 to 2030, totaling $2.5 billion over five fiscal years, specifically for long-range coastal defense capabilities, maritime domain awareness, and cybersecurity. Just earlier this month, the U.S. Senate introduced the First Island Chain Security Cooperation Initiative (FISCI) as part of the FY 2027 NDAA. If approved, the FISCI will structurally bundle Taiwan and the Philippines into a single unified defense theater. It signals to Beijing that the U.S. views the defense of the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea as geographically and operationally linked. This new initiative will grant the Philippines full eligibility for the same security assistance framework as Taiwan, allowing the country to access joint defense assistance, training, and equipment previously tailored specifically for Taiwan. The U.S. Senate is allocating $1 billion for the initiative, with an additional $1 billion earmarked to replace defense articles and reimburse defense services. FISCI also aims to accelerate the delivery of arms to the Philippines, Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea under the US FMS.

British engineers making a pontoon bridge to access Bayonne, France, 1814 AD

Capstan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capstan_(nautical) The bars are removed from the head and lying on the deck around it. Removing the bars is for safety once it has been turned and the line it holds is under tension. If the locking mechanism slips and the line starts running out, the capstan head would be spinning very fast and the bars would be a hazard. The bars have been left out on the deck (rather than stowed away) so that the capstan can be used again quickly if needed. Probably in this case the capstan is being used to tension the lines holding the bridge.

What movies did NOT live up to their trailers?

Godzilla (2014). Thought it would be a cool new take on kaiju movies. It had Bryan Cranston, a cool new Godzilla design, the marketing implied it’d be paying homage to the early tokusatsu Godzilla films, etc. They kill off Bryan Cranston in the first few minutes, and then the rest of the movie follows his character’s generic action movie protagonist son. It barely shows Godzilla until the end, which wouldn’t be a problem as long as there is a compelling human narrative (Godzilla 1954 and Godzilla -1 are good examples). But the narrative effectively turns into US military propaganda. Behold, as the brave servicemen of the US military rise to any challenge, driven by an unshakeable sense of duty and patriotism. Not even a kaiju will sway them. The military saves Godzilla, who then defeats the monsters, and all is well. Roll credits. Hope some teenagers are convinced to enlist. I was not surprised to learn after the fact that the US military had a hand in writing the script. They even purged a few unsympathetic portrayals of military history from early drafts as well, such as Ken Watanabe’s character’s familial connection to the bombing of Hiroshima. They did not want anyone to imply that nuking Japan was wrong. All that is to say, the movie misses the point completely, when Godzilla (at least in its original incarnation) is supposed to be a direct allegory to the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki—disaster that begets greater disaster. The cold war arms race.

Seeking input for my outdoor fish tank

You’re sitting on a goldmine, and you don’t even realize it! So many unique marketing opportunities, just off the top of my head: Fill little pendants with the swamp water, and sell it to MAGA hogs with some kind of “9/11 never forget”-style platitude, but with the ~~reflecting pool~~ fish tank in place of the towers (with a smoke cloud-shaped crowd of ANTIFA pouring communist chemicals into the water) Do the same thing but fill little donald trump-shaped containers with drumpf did this and sell it to liberals (MAGA hogs might also buy this tbh) Get RFK to say the water has healing properties or some shit, then bottle and sell it
