    @Doctor-Phibes said in Read 'em and Weep: I’ve heard Jewish folk comment that Christian Protestants taking a literalist approach to the OT are really missing the point, and that it was never intended to be interpreted in that way Son, there are some professing Jews that don't believe in half of it, and I ain't talking about the NT.

    After we rid our schools of all the conservative ideology being foisted on our children by Magat administrators and teachers - then maybe I'll take this alleged "woke indoctrination" seriously.

    @George-K said in Pro tip: If you're going to kill a reporter...: @Aqua-Letifer said in Pro tip: If you're going to kill a reporter...: It's not really burying the lede, because political affiliation isn't the most important detail of the story. True. Now consider how the story would have been reported if the alleged murderer were a MAGAT. No I get that, totally valid point. I honestly think the majority of Americans know better at this point, though.

    Navy Says All UFO Videos Classified, Releasing Them ‘Will Harm National Security’ The U.S. Navy says that releasing any additional UFO videos would “harm national security” and told a government transparency website that all of the government’s UFO videos are classified information. In a Freedom of Information Act request response, the Navy told government transparency site The Black Vault that any public dissemination of new UFO videos “will harm national security as it may provide adversaries valuable information regarding Department of Defense/Navy operations, vulnerabilities, and/or capabilities. No portions of the videos can be segregated for release.” The Black Vault was seeking all videos “with the designation of ‘unidentified aerial phenomena.’” This is an interesting response from the Navy because, often, military agencies will issue a so-called GLOMAR response, where they neither confirm nor deny that the records (in this case videos) exist, and refuse to say anything more. In this response, the Navy is admitting that it has more videos, and also gives a rationale for releasing three previous UFO videos. “While three UAP videos were released in the past, the facts specific to those three videos are unique in that those videos were initially released via unofficial channels before official release,” it said. “Those events were discussed extensively in the public domain; in fact, major news outlets conducted specials on these events. Given the amount of information in the public domain regarding these encounters, it was possible to release the files without further damage to national security.” It’s true that the three videos—which were leaked to former Blink-182 singer Tom DeLonge and the New York Times—didn’t originally come out via official means. But in recent years, the Pentagon has regularly talked about UFOs, and earlier this year it showed additional clips from UFOs to Congress. The military has seemingly wanted to tell the public and Congress that UFOs are very much real and a threat, and that it needs more funding to determine what they are and, perhaps, protect us against them. But it continues to hold the videos close to the vest.

    @Axtremus said in Here comes the sun - to make you fat: Hmm … I recently visited two beaches and spent more time than usual walking under the sun, and I had bigger appetite those two days. But not sure if it’s because of the sun or because of increased physical activities those two days. :man-shrugging: Gain any weight?
