TWZ: Los Alamos Scientist’s Insights On The GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator
This interview convinces me that Gary Stradling is a smart guy with a good attitude. Good thing he is on our side.
This is very sophisticated work. It is not casual, and it’s not speculative. These are real experts who are doing the work. Careful, technical, quantitative work to be able to deliver this kind of war-fighting capability to the services.
NYT: Why Does Every Commercial for A.I. Think You’re a Moron?
Ads for consumer A.I. are struggling to imagine how the product could improve your day — unless you’re a barely functioning idiot.

Forest River, owned by Warren Buffett’sBerkshire Hathaway, is one of the RV industry’s Big Three, along with Thor and Winnebago. Over the past decade, those companies have reported more recalls than Detroit’s Big Three automakers, even though they make far fewer vehicles.

Dubbed Operation Spider’s Web, Ukraine spent 18 months smuggling small, inexpensive drones into Russia. Once assembled, the drones were hidden inside wooden launch containers, hauled by civilian-looking trucks, and parked near five strategic bomber bases spread across Russia.
That is the new kind of war.
Big complex projects have long planning horizons. Elon Musk doesn’t operate that way. In 3 or 4 years, he expects to launch a manned mission to Mars. In 8 or 9 years, a productive Mars colony is expected to be operating.
Reuters: Trump to sign orders to boost nuclear power
Reuters: Bipartisan group of US lawmakers introduce bill to boost nuclear power
I am thrilled by both of these developments. Nuclear power is necessary for America to prosper, but it hasn’t gotten much attention. If Trump and lawmakers from both parties encourage nuclear power, everyone will be better off.
Social media algorithms are so tedious. Youtube Shorts are the worst. This video short has been presented on my Youtube feed for several days.
Ohio’s Manufacturing Renaissance: A Blueprint for American Prosperity
Ohio is experiencing a manufacturing renaissance that’s transforming our economic landscape. Our state ranks third in the nation for manufacturing jobs, with more than 687,000 Ohioans employed in the sector, producing over $134 billion in manufactured goods annually.
That sounds great!
An article I was reading led me to the Reader’s Digest. I was surprised that it still exists, and that it’s worth visiting.
If you are weary of reading about Trump, Biden, P. Diddy and Pope Leo, the Reader’s Digest is what you need.
