It seems that Japanese literature is steeped in atheist and modernist nihilism (a Western gift from the modern era) which I see as a severe mental illness with lethal consequences for culture and the survival of a nation. This is not a sustainable state. Of course, the post-modern trivialization of art (Hollywood, Anime, Netflix), or its reduction to fetish-service (Porn, Anime), is not the right direction either. Art must, by its very essence, instruct without being prescriptive, like a lovin...

Flock managed a shocking 29% accuracy rate reading license plates, a product that puts people in jail, or worse: https://www.businessinsider.com/flock-camera-misread-license-plate-reader-california-roseville-police-2026-7 Tech companies will sell completely broken non-functional products when they think they can get away with it. "It doesn't work" should never be our only critique of tech, but it's vital to point out when something does not in fact work; we should never automat...

lol. CNBC: As Anthropic barrels toward a potential $2 trillion market cap on the Nasdaq, one research firm is valuing the artificial intelligence company at a mere $150 billion and says Wall Street is about to face an "unprecedented test of investor gullibility." In a report on Tuesday, independent financial research provider New Constructs called Anthropic's upcoming offering the "most ridiculous IPO of 2026." To reach its desired valuation, the firm estimates Anthropi...

"Which is precisely why we need to hustle," Harlan insisted. "A plane that hits at two hundred knots and doesn't explode is either carrying something worse than gasoline, or there are folks pinned inside who need a hacksaw and a field dressing before they bleed out." "Grab the first-aid kit, boys," Kincaid barked to his men. "Axes, pry bars, and the stretcher. Pick 'em up and put 'em down." The six me...

Down in the basin, waiting for them beside a weathered fence post, was a solitary figure in a faded blue denim jacket and a sweat-stained Stetson, a scarred Winchester .30-30 carbine resting loosely in the crook of his arm. William E. "Red" Brawley had not waited for the law. "Took your sweet time, Frank," Brawley drawled as Caldwell stumbled down the loose embankment. The old rancher tilted his chin toward the bottom of the gravel slope. "Thought you...

Painted across the curved flank in fluid, hand-brushed lettering was a single name: Remiel. There was no propeller. No radial engine cowling. No trailing exhaust pipes or supercharger scoops. And most unnerving of all, there was no stench of scorched metal, no dripping puddle of high-octane avgas, and no airframe crumple. Except for the left-side cant into the loose volcanic beads, the craft sat on the desert floor like a jewel placed deliberately on a velvet cushion. "Look at the glass...

She was tall and broad-shouldered, with thick, dark reddish-brown hair tumbling in disarray over the collar of a plain canvas flight jacket. Her hands rested flat and relaxed across her lap. As the cluster of dusty, armed men emerged over the lip of the slope, she didn't flinch, scream, or reach for a weapon. She merely turned her head toward them, her icy green eyes cool, unblinking, and entirely devoid of fear. "Hold on, miss!" Kincaid yelled, surging down the loose g...

"Can you hear me, miss?" Kincaid asked, reaching up to the canopy sill. "I hear you fine," she said. Her voice was remarkably steady, smooth, and delivered in unaccented, Midwestern American English that sounded as if she had grown up in an Ohio farmhouse. "You don't need your axes. I'm not trapped in here." "Then let's get you unbuckled and down onto the ground before something cooks off," Sheriff Ca...

"It doesn't hurt anywhere," she replied. "It didn't happen today." Kincaid leaned over the cockpit rim, his thick fingers reaching down to her knees. He took the heavy handle of his brass-tipped flashlight and sharply tapped the patellar tendon just below her right kneecap. Nothing. Not a twitch. The quadriceps remained entirely soft and unresponsive. He struck the left knee with identical precision. The leg hung limp, completely dead to the st...
