remember the no planes guy

he had a pretty kooky take

but...

there was something in the footage he pointed out that was um, interesting

the aluminium nose cone of one of the planes, having ploughed its way through 27 steel beams, emerges out the far side of the building fully intact, not even a dent
They had aluminium plane wings disappear into the building by slicing through steel beams like butter

Doesn’t happen

We have been somewhere near here before, of course, in 1989, in 1945, in 1919, in 1789, in all sorts of periods of continuous and discontinuous change stretching back centuries. But then that’s History, which is a different discipline, to be mined occasionally for arguments in favour of one course of action or another, but not to be taken seriously in itself. Rather, thinking about the world today is largely dominated by political scientists, economists, international relations theorists, “strategy” experts, and pundits who once took a course in one of these subjects at university. Moreover, numbers matter here: probably two thirds of the international relations theorists who have ever lived are living now, and the vast majority of them have no professional experience from before the end of the Cold War. This creates enormous obstacles—political, professional, intellectual, organisational—to understanding or even admitting change, the more so because the dominant Liberal ideology of the last thirty years or so deals in timeless verities, and is thus incapable of learning anything, or adapting to events.

We therefore face a problem which is, I think, unique in western history. It can be summarised as follows. A shallow and incapable ruling class and its parasites are confronted with a series of subtle changes in the way the international political and economic system works, some linked, some not, that require the sort of careful analysis and thoughtful reactions of which they are inherently incapable. At the same time, the machinery of politics and economics in their own countries is breaking down, and they have no idea why, or what to do about it. These two points—the inability to imagine alternatives and the incapacity to understand even what is going on in front of their eyes—are the two themes I want to develop in the essay.







Dealing a blow to three of the world’s biggest agrochemical companies, a US court this week banned three weed killers widely used in American agriculture, finding that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) broke the law in allowing them to be on the market.
The ruling is specific to three dicamba-based weed killers manufactured by Bayer, BASF and Syngenta, which have been blamed for millions of acres of crop damage and harm to endangered species and natural areas across the Midwest and South.

This is the second time a federal court has banned these weed killers since they were introduced for the 2017 growing season. In 2020, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued its own ban, but months later the Trump administration re-approved the weed killing products, just one week before the presidential election at a press conference in the swing state of Georgia.

But a federal judge in Arizona ruled late Monday that the EPA made a crucial error in re-approving dicamba, finding the agency did not post it for public notice and comment as required by law. US District Judge David Bury wrote in a 47-page ruling that it is a “very serious” violation and that if EPA did do a full analysis, it likely would not have made the same decision.




By offering private companies more favorable financing terms, Montgomery County hoped to move forward with new construction that they’d own for as long as they liked. They had plans to build thousands of publicly owned mixed-income apartments by leveraging relatively small amounts of public money to create a revolving fund that could finance short-term construction costs. Eighteen months ago, this “revolving fund” plan was still mostly just on paper; no one lived in any of these units, and whether people would even want to live in publicly owned housing was still an open question.

Answers have since emerged: The first Montgomery County project opened in April 2023, a 268-unit apartment building called The Laureate, and tenants quickly came to rent. It’s not the kind of public housing most Americans are familiar with: It has a sleek fitness center, multiple gathering spaces, and a courtyard pool. “We’re 97 percent leased today, and it’s just been incredibly successful and happened so fast,” Marks said.

Just drank a 750ml dare iced coffee in about 20 seconds. Feel like s**t now.
Used to be able to smash down iced coffee like that on my break and then get back into working like it was nothing, now if I drink one too fast while lazing around on the couch I'm sick as a dog
