A bit of tech, a bit of philosophy, lots of morology.

The US Navy sent its two most powerful warships to fight Iran. Both are now gone from the front. The USS Gerald R. Ford, the most expensive warship ever built at $13.2 billion, left the Red Sea after a fire broke out in its laundry room. Thatโs the official story. The real story is what a Pentagon testing report quietly revealed at the same time. The Fordโs jet launch system is unreliable. Its radar is unreliable. Its weapons elevators, the lifts that move bombs and missiles to the flight deck, are unreliable. Pentagon testers said there is simply not enough data to assess whether the ship can keep operating if it takes enemy fire. Fixes for these combat systems have been identified. Most remain unfunded. The ship also doesnโt have enough bunks. It needs at least 159 more. This is the Navyโs flagship. Delivered years late. $13.2 billion. Deployed into a war zone with systems the Pentagon itself cannot certify as combat-ready. Then thereโs the USS Abraham Lincoln. Iran claimed repeatedly that its missiles forced the Lincoln to retreat. The US called it propaganda. Whatโs not disputed: the Lincoln moved from 350 kilometers off the Iranian coast to over 1,100 kilometers away. Both carriers are now parked far beyond the range of Iranian anti-ship missiles. The Pentagon calls it โtactical repositioning.โ The Ford has been at sea for nearly 11 months, one of the longest carrier deployments in modern US history. Maintenance on nuclear carriers takes months under normal conditions. After a fire, an 11-month deployment, and a backlog of deferred repairs, analysts are now talking about 12 to 14 months out of action. America went into this war with two carriers. It now has zero operating near the fight. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1







NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman: "We're gonna build President Trump's moon base"


Is er al een boze reactie van de Belgische Bisschoppen in verband met het iconoclasme van Studio Brussel? Een beetje zelfbewust opkomen voor de ... eigen kerk, zou toch verwacht mogen worden.

NIETS begrijp je ervan, als je zo reageert. Het punt is niet dat je religies niet mag bespotten (natuurlijk mag dat!), het punt is dat je รกlle religies moet (durven te) bespotten. Toch logisch.




Belgiumโs publicly funded youth radio station, Studio Brussel (VRT), featured a sketch in which its breakfast presenters smashed various items on air, including a statue of Our Lady and Jesus. I asked if they were concerned it would cause offence, and if they would do the same to a symbol of Islam or Judaism.
