Footage of the joint USCG-Navy seizure of a Venezuelan oil tanker that was destined for Cuba. The Skipper carried about 2 million barrels of heavy crude, roughly half of it belonging to a Cuban state-run oil importer (according to documents acquired by the AP). The USCG helicopters took off from the USS Gerald Ford carrier.
Is it time to kick the tires & light the fires? Fear the BONE!
Guess I'll just have to be happy with the "official White House" photo that Air Force Lt Colonel Buzz Patterson includes in his memoir. Gotta luv the FOIA bureaucracy.

Congrats on such a craven, despicable cover, TIME-LIFE-CIA. Imagine transposing a bunch of billionaires into an iconic photo of underpaid immigrant ironworkers (Irish, Italians, Scandinavians, Eastern Europeans, Germans, and Mohawk Indian ironworkers) who risked life n' limb every day during the Depression era to promote a tech designed to put the working class outta jobs. Welcome to the brave new world.
The Architects of AI are TIME’s 2025 Person of the Year.

The Architects of AI Are TIME’s 2025 Person of the Year
Why did TIME’s Person of the Year: "The Architects of AI" recreate the iconic 1932 photograph Lunch Atop a Skyscraper?
The original photo was taken on September 20, 1932 at the construction site of the RCA Building (later the GE Building) in Rockefeller Center, New York.
Eleven American construction workers sat casually on a steel beam 850 feet above the ground—no safety ropes, no nets—eating lunch, smoking, and chatting with Manhattan and Central Park behind them.
It became one of the most recognizable images in American history because it captured a moment when an entire era was being built, literally in mid-air.
TIME chose to echo this image to symbolize that we are now entering another "skyscraper-building moment", this time for AI. The world’s most ambitious technological structure is rising, and it is being assembled by a new generation of architects working at dizzying heights of utopian fantasies.
But just like the original beam, there’s only so much room. TIME’s cover shows just one section of the beam. The skyscraper of AI is being built by many more hands. It will either be our doom or will leapfrog us above & beyond everyone else.

The problem with America and Europe is that there are far too many wealthy elites, which over time leads to a population of fat, dumb, lazy stupid people, ripe for a barbarian clan to take over.
Anyways, Trump merch is awesome. I purchased 10 Red Beauties for Christmas gifts! [strong sarc]
