New week...


(Norma Shearer in A Free Soul, 1931)


June 3, 1965: Gemini IV launched on a mission to study the effects of prolonged spaceflight (4 days!), and perform NASA's first spacewalk. "I feel like a million dollars" —Ed White, the first American to open the hatch of his spacecraft and float out into space.




June 3, 1983: John Badham's "WarGames" premiered. President Ronald Reagan saw it on June 4, 1983 at Camp David. Fred Kaplan has a chapter about it in his 2016 book, "Dark Territory: The Secret History of Cyber War."





June 3, 1996: the Japanese destroyer Yugiri accidentally shot down a U.S. Navy A-6E Intruder with a Phalanx CIWS during a training exercise. The Intruder crew from VA-115 ejected and were recovered. It was the first foreign plane shot down by Japanese forces since 1945. 



I've seen that happen in real life during a CIWS test with a fighter jet towing a drone. The CIWS was put into auto mode, shot the drone to shit and started following the cable line up to the jet. The pilot kicked in the afterburners to Mach 1.5 and got the hell outta dodge.

This report comes from a group of 20 nutrition "experts" elected by the Dept of Health and Human Services and the US Dept of Agriculture who have been tasked with drafting new national nutrition recommendations about what Americans should eat from 2025-2030.

One would think that Mexico should be one of the most rich and advanced nations on the planet. It is blessed with natural riches from agriculture to oil, a hard working population, superb geography, sustainable demographics, but is cursed by corruption, bad governance, drug cartels, and the violence it begats.

BONUS: Re-run of the week:

Donald Trump has promised to release the JFK, 9/11 and Jeffrey Epstein files once he’s elected...



...if that sounds familiar it’s because he did the same thing last time too. I’m sure he means it now. Sigh.


New Week, New Words...




Bad to the bone comin’ outta the grave
Skeletons gonna break the cage
Get the blood in circulation, infuse!
Been kickin’ down the Pearly Gates
Your soul ain’t mine to save
Ain’t never gonna seal our fate
So long overdue

Freedom
You ain’t got no time left to waste
Now we’re kickin’ ass & takin’ names...
