With new supersonic technologies emerging using mach cutoff, it's fascinating to look back at the espionage-worthy advancements like this.
"With forward canards and large, foldable wing tips that allowed the plane to literally surf atop its own shockwave."

If you wanted no leaks you should have gone into Settings -> Security -> Configure privacy & security -> Privacy options -> Other -> Configure -> Media interface and clicked “Disallow.”
The Leak setting is on by default but we understand your privacy is important so we’ve made it easy to opt out

Not to repeat history or anything, but remember the Nazi's first/biggest book burning (1933) was Hitler's "Lebensunwertes Leben"-“lives unworthy of living.” Yeah - Magnus Hirschfeld's trans clinic in Germany.

There's a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is as good as your knowledge.

Numbers to keep in mind, next time you hear about cutting bloated government:
In 1960, federal employees were 4.3% of all US workers.
In 2024, federal employees were 1.4% of all US workers.
So "government bureaucracy" has already been cut to a fraction of what it was in The Good Old Days.

[Žižek voice] And what is it the hippos were hungry for? The empty, white sphere of fantasy, onto which they—and the children who controlled them—could project their desire. Once captured, each hippo releases this desire, unconsumed, into a pen to contain it, before beginning the search for more.
