Google hid a fully working flight simulator inside Google Earth back in 2007 and never told anyone.
You unlocked it with a secret keystroke: Ctrl Alt A. No menu, no announcement. One user stumbled onto it, the combo spread, and it got popular enough that Google made it official the next year. Two planes, an F-16 and a Cirrus SR22, flying over real satellite imagery of the entire planet.
Then it stayed locked inside the downloadable desktop app for 18 years. The browser version was a stripped-down viewer that couldn't run it. Today that changed.
Here is the part that makes it impressive. A flight simulator is the single hardest thing you can ask a 3D map to do. Panning is easy, the software has all the time it wants to load the terrain ahead of you. Flying low and fast strips that away, forcing it to fetch, decompress, and render the world faster than you are crossing it. The hardest possible job for every part of the system at once.
So "just for fun" is carrying a lot of weight in that sentence. Getting this to run in a browser tab is the cleanest proof that the web version finally matches what used to need a desktop app.
The toy is the benchmark.

Prepare for takeoff. ✈️ Flight simulator is now available globally on web to all users. goo.gle/4fBYnWO
We've recently added many our most powerful professional desktop features to web. Elevation profiles, new import types, but there's always been one other feature you've been asking us to add to the web version of Google Earth, just for fun...
Where will you fly? Share your best maneuvers, views, and flyovers with us!

WOW: The Obama Presidential Center is set to open to the public this Friday as multiple black contractors and subcontractors are FURIOUS after they’ve been left on the hook for hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars in unpaid work and cost overruns on the project, according to Fox News.
One plumbing company alone says it’s still owed nearly $4M after delays, rework, and over 100 change orders.
Construction costs have ballooned from an original estimate of around $330M to at least $850M, while the promised $470M taxpayer safety net endowment sits at just $1M.

Brilliant. Democrats have created a system in California of legalized election theft. Watch to the end. Make sure Senate Republicans do whatever it takes to pass the Save America Act ASAP.

Raman gets last place on mail-in votes. Raman gets last place on in-person votes. Then suddenly surges ahead *only* with mail-in ballots submitted AFTER the election.

Notice how, unlike the NBA, all of the Team USA soccer players have their hands over their hearts for the national anthem!
This isn’t about black or white.
This is about the NBA being full of ungrateful bitches who hate the country!

🚨 ELECTION CHAOS IN LA: $336 MILLION WASTED… WHILE 25 BINS OF UNCOUNTED BALLOTS SIT IN THE DARK! 🚨
Jesse Watters just EXPOSED the absolute DISASTER in Los Angeles County elections. Empty workstations. Ballots piling up. Days of “counting” with ZERO transparency.
They’re spending hundreds of MILLIONS of YOUR tax dollars to run this clown show — and still can’t deliver results on time in a critical primary.
How many votes are “appearing” at 3AM? How many are being “found” in mystery bins?
This isn’t incompetence. This is how they STEAL elections in broad daylight. California is a DEMOCRAT-RUN disaster — and now they’re rigging the count for governor and mayor!
Wake up, America! Demand FULL audits NOW or this fraud train rolls straight to November.

Sheriff Chad Bianco says in the 2024 election there were 611,000 valid ballots returned in Riverside County, CA.
The only problem…there were 659,000 votes cast.
That's FOURTY EIGHT THOUSAND more votes cast than there were ballots.
This is obvious FRAUD.
@billessayli is this the type of fraud you are looking for?

In other words, the Democrats funded the war in Ukraine so they could launder the money back into their own coffers through USAID and use it to overthrow the U.S. government.

This clip of Charles Payne during Obama's second term is really incredible. Well done Charles.
In 2010 Obama put the federal government directly in charge of lending money to students. Eliminating private lending made the loans much easier to get, but they were not less expensive.
Before Obama took office, outstanding student debt was less than $100 billion. By 2015, outstanding student debt was approximately $800 billion and almost a third of the borrowers were in default. Of course the price of college continued to soar the entire time.
This is the best part. Payne predicted that someday the politicians would be promising to forgive student debt as a way to buy votes. He was spot on.
There are people like Ro Khanna on this site right now arguing that Elon Musk should be paying down the student debt when it's a problem that politicians created.

The market is betting on consolidation for $CRML. By rolling up European Lithium and securing long-term defense-sector contracts, management is aggressively building a global player. The options volume is heavily tilted toward upside speculation—traders aren't hedging here, they are hunting for the next structural breakout. Patience is required, but the build-up is undeniable.
🐂 Bull Level: A clean hold above $11.50 confirms the institutional breakout.
🐻 Bear Level: Watching $8.00 as the primary pivot—if it snaps, the upside thesis faces a major delay.

🚨 REFORM HAS A SERIOUS QUESTION TO ANSWER
Rupert Lowe has highlighted a case involving an asylum seeker with a reported terrorism conviction who was allowed into Britain, housed at taxpayer expense, and later convicted of a horrific crime.
The British public deserve answers.
Who approved his entry?
Who approved his asylum claim?
Who approved his accommodation?
And what was known about his background?
But there is another question.
Why should voters trust Reform to fix a system when many of the people now presenting themselves as the solution were either part of the political establishment that oversaw these failures, or are asking the public to simply trust them without addressing them?
Including Reform's Shadow Home Secretary, Mohammad Yusuf.
Immigration is no longer a side issue.
It is becoming the defining political issue of our time.
And voters are increasingly demanding accountability from everyone involved.

Abdelrahmen Adnan Abouelela, an 'asylum seeker', who raped a woman in Hyde Park arrived illegally in the UK in April 2023 and claimed asylum.
He was a convicted Islamic terrorist. A bomb-making conviction. It has been reported that the Home Office was aware of that.
Who was immigration minister? Reform's Robert Jenrick.
Who was Home Secretary? Reform's Suella Braverman.
Jenrick and Braverman welcomed him into the country and put him up in a four star Hilton Hotel in London.
The same hotels that Jenrick bragged about opening...
He went on to rape a woman.
The judge said of the rape.
"You were driven purely by your own sexual desires."
"It must have been obvious to you that she was a woman under the influence of alcohol who was alone and vulnerable."
"You made the decision to take advantage of her vulnerability."
"You simply did not care that she could not consent: you just took what you wanted."
Reform need to be honest with the British people about what their MPs have inflicted on women across the country.
What did they know about this man? Why did they allow a convicted Islamic terrorist to claim asylum in Britain? Why did they house him in four star accommodation?
The people deserve answers.
Reform's Jenrick and Braverman must be nowhere near power, ever again.

This black man delivers too much common sense to be promoted by the algorithm, so instead all we see are the crazy race baiters like Don Lemon, Akon, and Cardi B. There's a lot of good people out there. Let's focus on them.
