I actually wondered if there was an uptick in boxing after Muhammed Ali had his fight in Zaire. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rumble_in_the_Jungle Here is a great documentary on that fight: https://en.wi

Glad you noticed the Chicago reference. There are many more such examples. My favorite doublespeak is the fancy name for killing Obama administration used: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disposition_Matrix

Isn’t that one of the definitions of dictatorships in other non-white countries according to neocon NGO/CIA/white savior class. The separation of powers that may exist de jure but no de facto when it comes to the power structure l

So we don’t classify jailed and tortured Julian Assange as a journalist even though he broke amongst some of the biggest news stories over the last 20 years. Or that the Trump administration planned on assasinating him. Or that Joe Biden is

It is hard to beat the US as a nanny state where we even regulate diving boards in swimming pools, a license to serve drinks as a bartender (depends on state) and not only how you live but how you die (the licenses for funeral parlors are h

The author wants regulations to prevent favorable treatment for data centers. She is warning that a tech backlash might happen in Europe: Thus far, the so-called techlash has spared data centres, but that could soon change unless companies

This document is clearly geared for clueless CEOs as a McKinsey pitch. Slick fluff but no true substance. A classic McKinsey vignette I suppose. They did not fail again. Anyone that understands "AI" would be turned into Holden Cau

The A-10 is truly remarkable as are the drones. Meanwhile the F35 is an overpriced hangar queen that should never have been built (the F22 is a solid stealth plane). https://www.19fortyfive.com/2021/10/why-nothing-
