This is footage taken earlier today of the eye of Hurricane Melissa.

The entire view is remarkable, of the core of one of the strongest Atlantic basic hurricanes in recorded history, and a catastrophic hit to Jamaica and the central Caribbean.

AKA the push delivery of future carriers even further back EO.
NAVY NEWS: In an address on the USS George Washington in Japan, the President says he will issue an EO requiring future Ford-class aircraft carriers to revert to steam catapults and hydraulic elevators, speaking at length of his distrust of "magnets"

Not kidding

Executive Order To Go Back To Steam Catapults On New Aircraft Carriers Coming: Trump
The electromagnetic catapults and weapons elevators for Ford class carriers have historically been a headache, but changing now would create immense challenges.

Isn't this the plot of a Bond movie? Man with the Golden Gun has the solar accumulator but I think Die Another Day had the literal space mirror shooting down and ASAT

I'm trying really hard not to be a doomer, and I don't think it's all over. There is still a path out. But the road to rebuild what's been destroyed is long and will require immense will to traverse.
The fact that nothing seems to matter is really starting to get to me. I know this isn't as important as ICE/DHS lawlessness, but to demolish a wing of the Whitehouse and just hear.......nothing.

Idk not sure we're gonna make it out of this one.

I appreciate all of the work being done about Sora and other video gen AI, but some of this shit is a cognitohazard and there should be a way to flag it as such.

Going through the final chapters and ending of Cyberpunk 2077 made me confront my own mortality in a way very few books have. If that doesn't qualify it as art then I don't know what does.
It's why I never understood the argument that video games couldn't be considered art: for me, being capable of bringing forth that feeling of the sublime is what art
Cyberpunk may have its flaws - fewer, by far, these days - but it made me feel a feel. I felt a feel at the beginning, I felt a different feel at the ending, I felt other, still different feels in the middle.

If the game makes you feel a feeling, honestly, you can overlook most of the rest.

In dad news this is back on prime, so is a Jutland documentary
I can't emphasize enough how good this series is

The episode on the Zumwalt reforms is worth it alone just for the 10 or so minutes it gives to discussing his efforts to drag the DoN into at least the mid 20th century, and it has so much more
News you can use: prime has a documentary series (really more of a lecture with slides) about the entire history of the US Navy featuring Craig Symonds that is very good

Also it goes off at the end of the year apparently

Ace Combat is actually pretty fun. Can't believe I didn't try it sooner tbh. There's something funny about having this near future scifi setting that co-evolved Mig-21s and F-104s

I'll admit I'm not fully up to speed on the program, but short of cost I find it hard to believe this is the best platform for the TACAMO mission.

yeah, this is an amazing project

the apollo 13 flight/return is one of the most breathtaking displays of competence under pressure you will ever see
Just finished reading Lost Moon (which came to be known as Apollo 13) on the 55th anniversary of the fateful explosion that rocked the mission. It was a fantastic read. Immerse yourself inside Apollo in Realtime (53h GET) going on right now. apolloinrealtime.org/13/

Every fifth post on my feed has been a picture of a cat. It's very refreshing. So, I offer you the hottest photo of four F-15Cs intercepting two Soviet MiG-29s as all six aircraft head for an air show in Canada.
