You can become invisible to mosquitoes for $20, no chemicals. A mosquito beats its wings 500 to 800 times per second, among the fastest in the insect world, and all that effort buys a top speed of roughly 1.5 mph. The wings are tiny relative to body mass, so they generate lift through rapid rotational flicks instead of normal flapping. Efficient enough to hover. Useless against airflow. A box fan on low pushes air at 6 to 10 mph, four to six times faster than a mosquito can fly. She physically cannot close the distance. The sensory attack is the deeper kill. Mosquitoes hunt you in three stages. From 30 feet out, they lock onto the CO2 plume you exhale, a cone of concentrated gas trailing downwind of your face. Inside 10 feet, they switch to skin odorants, lactic acid and octenol. In the final inches, they home in on body heat. A fan shreds the plume into turbulent eddies, dilutes the odor gradient below detection threshold, and strips the thermal signature off your skin. So the mosquito loses the map before she loses the flight. She never gets close enough to need to fight the wind. One more bonus: mosquitoes preferentially bite ankles and feet, where bacteria produce the odors they love. Aim the fan low, across your legs, and you protect the exact zone they target. DEET works by jamming receptors. A fan works by deleting the signal entirely.

They were ALL playing for media attention during their careers, looking for money-making opportunities in media after parachuting out of Congress. Massie was not going anywhere in KY. Same for MTG in Georgia and Mace in SC. None of them wanted to actually do the hard work of legislating.

There are 26 registered voters at this toilet in California. I’m not kidding. I have the voter records. See for yourself. The only thing here is a stinky port-a john inside an empty parking lot. No homes. No mailboxes. Yet TWENTY SIX ‘people’ are casting ballots here. Straight-up voter fraud out in the open. This just a glimpse of what’s happening under Gavin Newsom. This is why California desperately needs Voter ID — NOW

Muslims want to censor the works of white European men in British schools. Anti white hatred in UK is unprecedented.

Right-wing extremism is so uncommon that left-wing extremists have to fund it.

The Dem primary in 2027 is going to be: Bernie Sanders Kamala Harris Gavin Newsom Pete Buttigieg John Ossoff Josh Shapiro JB Pritzker Bernie will be really just a stalking horse for the DSA, and there will be 2-3 DSA candidates below that first tier. Maybe AOC, certainly Ro Khanna. Bernie will be "in" to drive some of the others out because the "Bernie Bros" and DSA activists will line up behind him and starve the lesser candidates of money and attention. Ossoff, Shapiro, and Pritzker will be sacrificed at the alter of Anti-Semitism which is almost a religion for a certain segment of the Bernie-Bro base, and stigmatizes them with a wider segment of the activists so they won't do well early, and will drop out. Buttigieg is playing for the VP slot. He'll just hang around with money from both coasts. It will come down to Sanders, Harris, and Newsom. But Sanders is there only to run out the riff-raff. His presence will be to boost the best performing DSA member in the group -- AOC, Khanna or someone else not yet on the radar. Newsom will eventually drop out because he's straight white guy, and in a party dominated by single liberal women and minorities, he's not one of those. It will come down to Harris and whichever DSA candidate Bernie throws his support to, with Harris being the "Joe Biden" for 2028. It does not matter how bad she is as a candidate, in the nominating process the rationalization will be the 4 year separation from Biden's Presidency, the 104 days of 2024, the way she was treated as Biden's VP for 4 years, and the continuing animating idea in the Dem party that its past time for a minority female POTUS. One thing that will be very different -- her campaign is learning right now from the first 6 months of Trump 2.0. They will hit the campaign trail after the 2026 midterms with a full binder of thought-out and well-crafted policy statements. This term of the Supreme Court has given them a huge gift -- the decisions on the Voting Rights Act and its impact on redistricting. She's going to ride that as a central theme.

Calif is going to continue to make this claim, but the REALITY is that the process Calif has adopted introduces a long period for fraudulent ballots to be included in the mix. The "check" on that is the process used by California to screen out any such ballots... Done by election officials and enforced by an AG's office .... STUFFED WITH DEMOCRAT PARTISANS.

Well this is a hastily cobbled together shit-take of conjecture and misdirection. The author starts by misreading a grassroots marketing launch as a statement of exclusive intent. Come on.  Announcing a series TO a fandom alongside its community leaders is standard PR; it's not proof that the show was designed exclusively FOR fandom. In fact, it was made clear from the start that, first and foremost, the series would function as an accessible entry point for new viewers...while still respecting canon.  And, by the way, “Respecting canon” does not mean “requiring new viewers to be familiar with 350 hours of existing Stargate programming” as this article implies. The author proceeds to support their point by launching into fan fiction: "No plot details were revealed about the scrapped show, but I can easily imagine…”  And they certainly do.  What follows is a parade of clichés, a generic legacy-sequel checklist that the author has conjured up from nothing and pinned to the new show as predictive evidence. Then comes the claim that Starfleet: Academy failed because the showrunners: "focused too much on paying tribute to the series' past.”  Uh, wut?  Yes, Starfleet: Academy did receive a fair amount of criticism, but strict adherence to canon wasn't on the list of grievances.  This reads like a comment from someone who likely never even watched the show, much less perused the fan response. They state: "Rebooting the cannon also would let the new Stargate showrunner bring back the Goa'uld, the franchise's most iconic villains…”  No, it wouldn’t.  Know why?   Because the goa’uld... ARE CANON!!!! The article concludes with a disconnected meditation on an old Stargate storyline with no relation to either the new show or the author’s own argument. I want to say it was written by A.I., but surely A.I. would display more logical consistency than this. How the hell does this account have over 1 million followers?

Doom and Age of Empires creator Sandy Petersen blasts Amazon over their handling of Stargate: "1) get handed a massively popular IP that spans 17 years of successful shows." "2) realize it has millions of loyal fans, desperate for more. They are now in their 40s and 50s, flush with money. Eager to teach their kids & grandkids about Stargate." "3) you could start with this. You are already three steps up the ladder to huge success. The fans will evangelize it, if you don't wreck the IP. Don't believe it? Look how the fans evangelized Battlestar Galactica after its 30 year hiatus. And the initial Dr Who reboot after 15 years." "4) cancel the project because you want a "new take" that will eliminate all the loyal fans and turn them into bitter enemies." "It's like an ancient Greek play about hubris." Why are corporate execs like this?

Say it with me, Alabama didn’t violate their own state constitution. Virginia democrats did. And in an absolutely egregious way.

The E. Jean Carroll case against President Trump is one of the strangest civil cases in American history. The foundational problem is this: Carroll could not identify when the alleged incident occurred — not even the year with any precision. That should have killed the case as dead as a skunk on the road right there. Without a temporal anchor, no defendant — regardless of guilt or innocence — can mount an alibi defense. Trump, who has maintained detailed calendars and staff records for decades, was denied the most basic tool of self-defense: the ability to establish where he was. That is not a technicality. It is a due process violation at the constitutional level. Then Carroll produced the one piece of physical evidence she claimed corroborated her account — the dress she wore during the alleged incident. It was subsequently established that the dress was designed after the incident could have occurred. The sole corroborating evidence falsified her timeline. The case proceeded anyway. The resulting verdict was then weaponized in a defamation suit — where Trump was held liable for denying the allegation, while being procedurally barred from defending against it, because it was already "proven" in another court, regardless how flawed the procedure was. He was punished, in effect, for asserting his own innocence. Compounding everything: coordinated professional and physical threats so thoroughly intimidated the legal community that attorneys refused these cases regardless of available fees. When you systematically destroy a defendant's ability to retain counsel of choice, you forfeit the right to a legitimate verdict. An allegation is not evidence. Process without substance is not law. And a verdict produced under these conditions carries no legitimate authority — whatever its formal status. Not only is it the right move to investigate Carroll, but every other person involved as well. Trump is owed serious damages here, and there may be a few people who belong in prison for their roles in the case.

I'm a bit tired listening to Establishment GOP commentators describe what a terrible candidate Paxton is for the Texas Senate. Paxton twice won AG races statewide easily -- 2018 and 2022. I get it -- there are issues in his past, and he was impeached for "securities fraud" --- involving Texas securities law, not federal securities law. But I also have a surface understanding that the efforts against Paxton in Texas were driven by a rival faction of the TEXAS STATE GOP, pushed by the former Speaker of the Texas House who was an opponent inside the GOP. The Speaker was later censured by the State Party for his efforts, and has since been run out of office. Those were "intra-party" battles that Paxton's side ended up winning, and the losers remain butt-hurt over it all. It all played out while Biden was POTUS and Dems controlled DOJ. No federal investigation went anywhere. The fact that the Dems had to pull the Hoffman prosecution and COMPLETELY LIE about it as their opening salvo strongly suggests to me that the other stuff is "noise" with Texas voters. The critics of Paxton in the GOP Establishment -- which I think mostly reflects simply the pro-Cornyn forces at the federal level in the GOP -- need to just stop because there is less substance to it all than they claim. Get over it. Paxton is the candidate and likely the next Senator from Texas. Cornyn, for whatever is virtues were thought to be in DC, lost track of the GOP voters in Texas. Not the first time and won't be the last time.

His antagonists for 10 years have tried to illegally prevent him from being elected, then throw him out of office, then bankrupt his family, then throw him in jail, then prevent him from running again, and then prevent him from being elected again. And he's supposed to just wave off all of that simply because they failed??

I just found something interesting hidden on the SpaceX website Go to: SpaceX.com → Human Spaceflight → Space Station → scroll all the way down → “Play Now” It’s a live Dragon docking simulator where you try docking with the ISS yourself And really… this game is way trickier than it looks You think it’ll be simple until the capsule starts drifting sideways and rotating at the same time 😭 Made me realize how insanely precise real docking actually is. The controls, timing, movement… everything has to be perfect

It’s imperative that we revert to STANDARD, not Daylight time, for two reasons, one of which you may have never considered. You know the first: solar noon is closest to 12 o’clock all year. That means an equal number of hours before and after noon each day. This also means earlier sunrises which are significantly better for establishing a healthy circadian rhythm. The second reason is that nearly ONE THIRD of US counties are in the wrong timezone. A significant swath of the country isn’t only an artificial hour ahead because of daylight time… but TWO HOURS ahead of true solar time. Year-round daylight time, especially without recalibrating time zones, would establish this error permanently, affecting millions of Americans. We should be letting the Sun dictate the day the way God made it. Arbitrary, artificial tampering would be worse for us all. Fix the time zones and affix standard time.
