Midnight Meme Of The Day!

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 21 hours ago
*by Noah* We don't live in a sane world. That much is clear every time we see Trump on TV and no one is dragging him off in chains. Such is the human condition. But, in a sane world, Trump would not exist, not just as President Of The United States but as anything at all. Also, in a sane world, no media outlet would call William Barr the Attorney General of the United States. Instead, and I highly recommend this, every one would stop lying and call Trump's Attorney General what he really is: Trump's Consigliere. He is Godfather Trump's Tom Hagen, or, if you must, Roy Cohn; maybe ... more »

Greta Thunberg Has a Promise for Traitors to Life on Earth

Jim Horn at Schools Matter - 21 hours ago
Greta's message is quite clear: If "leaders" of the world are to impose a mass extinction with their grotesque inaction and half-measures, the young citizens of the Earth know where that extinction shall begin. This is all wrong. I shouldn’t be standing here. I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean. Yet you all come to me for hope? How dare you! You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words. And yet I’m one of the lucky ones. People are suffering. People are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a mass extinction.... more »

Why are There So Few Women CEOs?

Michael Holmes at The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Michael Holmes* *Politics, Americas* [image: Reuters] The challenge for women trying to climb to the upper echelons of corporate leadership – and to succeed in those positions to the same degree that men do – appears sobering. Women comprise about 47% of the U.S. workforce, yet they make up barely a quarter of all senior executives at large U.S. public companies. Even worse, only about 5% of Standard & Poor’s 500 companies have female CEOs. Moreover, women who become CEOs are often appointed to companies that are in crisis or are performing poorly, as in the cases of Mary Barra ... more »

Meet the T-34 Tank: It Helped Crush Hitler and Win World War II

Warfare History Network at The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *Technology, Europe* [image: By Antonov14 - Own work, CC BY-SA 2.5, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=2108482] Amazing. *Key point:* To fend off Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union produced a superior tank and produced a crazy number of them. In 1942, careworn Nazi Führer Adolf Hitler lamented to his military intimates at his Wolf’s Lair headquarters near Rastenburg in East Prussia, “If I had known that there were so many of them, I would have had second thoughts about invading!” The “them” he was referring to were the famed Soviet Red Army T-3... more »

Fossil Fuel Subsidies Reach $87 billion in EU Countries – and They’re Growing

Radek Stefanski at The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Radek Stefanski* *Security, Europe* [image: Reuters] Getting rid of fossil fuel subsidies will improve economic efficiency and provide a reprieve to strained government budgets, while also lowering carbon emissions. European governments often appear to champion low-carbon policies. Yet, in 2017, European Union countries collectively spent US$87 billion subsidising the cost of fossil fuels. Shockingly – at a time when the world needs to act to stop climate change – this is nearly 2.5 times more than they spent in 2010. This increase in wasteful and environmentally devastating sp... more »

Meet the T-28: The Super Tank America Built to Fight Hitler (But Never Saw Battle)

Michael Peck at The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *History, Americas* [image: Randen Pederson [CC BY-SA 2.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0)]] Everything you wanted to know. *Key point:* The tank would have been very powerful, but never made it to the front before the war ended. When it comes to tanks, America can only hope that size isn’t everything. During World War II, Germany had its armored giants, such as the seventy-ton King Tiger, the 188-ton Maus or the never-built P.1000, a thousand-ton behemoth that waddled across the line between ambition and insanity. For their part, the Soviets fiel... more »

3 Tips for Justin Trudeau on How to Say ‘I’m Sorry’

Lisa Leopold at The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Lisa Leopold* *Politics, Americas* [image: Reuters] Apologies are hard. “I’m sorry.” These two words may seem simple, but the ability to express them when you’re in the wrong is anything but – particularly for those in the public eye. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, to name a recent example, had to apologize several times since a photo and a video of him in brownface and blackface makeup surfaced recently. Trudeau’s troubles echo Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam’s difficulty apologizing for a photo on his medical school yearbook page of a man in blackface and another wearing... more »

On the Ignorance of Philosophical Movements

Unknown at The Verma Report - 22 hours ago
Riding on top of a Titanic to catch a few small fish makes no sense. But that is what the philosophical movements in the last 250 years have been doing. They attract a flock of ignorant and dumb devotees by promising a Titanic-sized philosophical experience, but in the end all they deliver is a cult that sustains itself by rationing a few small fish. There has never been a philosophical movement that has captured the imagination of the intelligent and original thinkers—they are enthused only by the good philosophies and, as a rule, they keep away from movements. It is the ignorant a... more »

If you’ve ever spent much time in New York, you know that it can be weather-challenged: very hot in the summer, and very cold in the winter. But September is almost always a month of near-perfect temperatures, and this year has been no exception. Nevertheless, the so-called “Climate Strike” movement chose last Friday, September 20, as the date for their big day of demonstrations. The high temperature was an ideal 77 deg F (25 deg C).

*Robert Beckhusen* *History, Europe* [image: https://i.imgur.com/8rCyK2R.png] What happened? *Key point:* Despite Moscow's dreams, the cost of World War II and the recovery were too much for a new class of ships. The Soviet navy was not in great shape at the onset of the German invasion on June 22, 1941. Stalin had decimated the ranks of the naval officer corps, which greatly complicated planning, and the invasion forced many warship projects to a halt. The Soviets envisioned one of these projects, the Kronshtadt-class battlecruiser, to be faster than Germany’s Bismarck-class ba... more »

The College Board Tweaked The SAT Adversity Score. But It's Not Fixed-- Or Gone.

Since David Coleman took the helm at the College Board, its flagship product--the ubiquitous SAT, one-time queen of college entrance exams--has been the victim of a series of unforced errors.
