Today is the 31st birthday of Iranian journalist Niloofar Hamedi.
Today is also her 31st day in solitary confinement.
It was Niloofar who informed the world that Mahsa Zhina Amini had died when she published this pic of her parents grieving.
For that “crime,” she was arrested.
Happy Sci-Fi Dolphin Saturday! To mark the halfway point, here's an all-timer: Rick Sternbach's "Cetacean Tomorrow," used for the March 1980 cover to 'Future Life.'
I interviewed Rick about this artwork for my email newsletter:

We have to start a campaign to ensure he gets the highest honor the UA can give him. Thankfully he's working for MI5, CIA and NAFO. I pray the FSB doesn't find him and take away his passport and ability to travel back to the West, where a heroes welcome awaits this asset.
@NatalkaKyiv
She needs the truth. He is cargo 200. Before he died a miserable death from sepsis that could have been prevented, his drunken 'comrades' took everything of value off him, probably even his boots. Then they put him with the other cargo and forgot about him.

Good - keep them off the frontline. While we're at it, can we convince the Kremlin they really, really need that carrier, so they keep spending millions on that floating deathtrap, draining their money and resources?

This! And it was based on another film that was a little raunchier and just as good. No one cared to freak out. WTF is wrong with these negative creeps.

Next she will be spouting about the dangers of Dihydrogen monoxide and the thousands of lives it takes every year, and how easily children can be exposed to it.

Fair enough - just my lame opinion, and sooo many people get roped into reading the 'hot' stuff without any critical input. But at least people are reading and hopefully buying books locally and not from

A quick read, but heavy. A favorite SCI-FI book.

I think they should be 'volunteered' to help clear mines and boobytraps, and on burial\recovery detail until the end of hostilities. Then expel them to their russian dogs.

Ohio has a Republican trifecta & triplex. Republicans control the governor, sec of state, atty genrl , both chambers of state legislature.
22 R trifectas, 17 D trifectas. 24 R triplexes, 20 D triplexes. Didn't they downgrade the hazard of the train for financial reasons?

OK, this is unrelated, but I found this newspaper clipping as the backing in an old framed picture my neighbor threw away. Quality sucks, but it mentions sub-launched rockets and I thought you might be interested since you were a submariner.
@Osinttechnical
Once primary is reached, and as long as they aren't missing a chance to rout the Ruzzians, UA gotta stop and rest, not over extend supply, make sure the boys get a couple hot meals, sleep

His nickname for the rifle is "Reason". As in, if they won't listen to the pleas of the World and get out, then they will have to listen to "Reason".

This guy drank his own kool-aid. Like a stopped clock that tells the right time twice a day, a couple of his ramblings have a ring of truth, but Peterson is such a self-righteous tool. IMHO

“I had been passing alone, on horseback, through a singularly dreary tract of country, and at length found myself, as the shades of evening drew on, within view of the melancholy House of Usher.”

Livonian Wolves at the Leaping Wall, Chicago
In Livonia, Christmastime saw men turn into wolves devouring everything in sight, beer & humans included. After their debauchery, they’d gather at the town wall where they’d take turns leaping

16. Buried a fake skull w\decroded latex skin & hair in our compost pile, along w\several beef rib bones. Was going to use for Halloween & wanted them looking authentic. Forgot about 'em. Moved 2yrs later. New owner spreading the compost, dug up the skull. Cops were not amused...
