The GBU-57 series MOP—the initials stand for Guided Bomb Unit and Massive Ordnance Penetrator—is a 30,000-pound (14,000 kg) class, 20.5-foot-long (6.2 m) precision-guided munition "bunker buster" bomb developed by Boeing for the United States Air Force. The US Air Force has said that the GBU-57 can penetrate up to 200 ft (60 m) of unspecified material before exploding. Due to its size and weight, the GBU-57 MOP can only be carried by the Northrop B-2 Spirit strategic bomber and the B-21 Raider, although initial tests were conducted with a modified Boeing B-52 Stratofortress. The GBU-57 MOP was first used in combat on June 22, 2025, when seven Northrop B-2 Spirit stealth bombers dropped 14 GBU-57 bombs on Iran's Fordow Uranium Enrichment Plant and Natanz Nuclear Facility. The bomb is much larger than earlier USAF bunker-busters such as the 5,000-pound (2,300 kg) GBU-28 and GBU-37.

Honestly, as someone who has traveled a lot, India is the best country I have ever traveled to. It’s incredible. I will have been here for 9 days when I leave, and there is still so much to see and do. My experience has been amazing and India is portrayed negatively in the media as a place Amercians should avoid, but I realize a lot of that is completely made up. The people, food, culture and hospitality culture are just incredible. I have felt safe and comfortable the entire time I have been here and India will truly be the next big super power. This country has incredible potential and you have to see it yourself to understand because the media only makes it out to be 3rd world. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Indian people are the nicest people I have ever met. I am very grateful for my time in India. I have enjoyed it so much and I hope I can come back every year. Next time I want to visit South India. I have tried to do as much as possible these last 9 days but there is still so much to see and do. All good things come to an end. I’ll be back (hopefully soon). I love India. My misconceptions have been corrected. I have nothing but nice things to say. 🇮🇳

The proportion of high-IQ people in the world is declining fast.

Americans were more tolerant of European arrogance when the continent had a reputation for cultured sophistication and industrial capability. Any American who remembers the Europe of 20+ years ago has observed the stark decline. And it’s not just because of migrants crowding around the Eiffel Tower. German cars are crap now. Luxury clothing is made with thinner fabrics & the styling is plebeian. French wine is overpriced relative to its quality. There’s no new high art or really any new major cultural or intellectual production coming out of Europe, and the popular culture is not just Americanized, it’s increasingly Africanized. Meanwhile activists are vandalizing art museums and Crown Jewels are being stolen from the Louvre by subsaharans. And all of this is happening as European governments buy energy from Russia while asking America to fund a proxy war against Russia. And yet we hear from European leaders and media the same tones of arrogance and moral superiority as we did back in 2003. The result of all this is that now rather than evoking feelings of annoyance and even a touch of embarrassment, because of the admiration Americans had toward European culture, Americans are now feeling a growing disrespect and even a certain contempt for Europe. It’s not a healthy dynamic, and I’m not at all praising it, but it is born out of European decline and the mismatch in self-estimation Americans are observing between European attitudes and European reality.

This was so controversial to say last year. Now it’s basically a fact—they’re adding to the Python stdlib.
