Law & Crime network has extensive coverage of the trial of CIA asset Alex Jones.

What’s interesting is despite his millions he seems to have hired some pretty inept young legal counsel. His own legal team throwing him under the bus by “accidently” sending wrong link of documents giving the prosecution access to 300GB of email and phone records.
Now the prosecution did right thing and said hey you’ve sent us privileged information but the defence attorney failed to use proper words to legally prevent them from using it!

Apparently he has known revenues of about 70 million USD annually. Mind you in a country of 330 million you’ve only got to get 0.3% of population to spend $70 each on your products....

If you think you’ve seen everything Blackbird related this video has a few hidden gems of nerdy engineering wow factor within. Really love the bit about cams and hydraulic pressure being used as mechanical “computers”

Compared to some of the stuff you post that was actually, good, thanks. WRT to hydro-mechanical "computers", very slightly similar to the valve blocks that were used in automatic transmissions, prior to electronics.

Well, let's be honest - anyone who has any slight leaning towards anything Mechinical/Engineering (which is most Motorcyclists TBH) loves the SR-71, so it really is an easy win.

Kleo, on netflix. Weirdly hot, violent, cold warish… good entertainment!

For those who want a little Zen viewing, with no commentary or waffle - the worlds only WW1 Super-Dreadnought Battleship, the USS Texas was moved yesterday from her former location (where she is a Museum ship) to enter Dry Dock, to undergo some much needed repairs.



There's many other livestreams and Camera Angles - including a really nice one from the Bridge of the ship as she's going on her Journey.

Something about Battleships that is truly awesome.

Tried a couple of episodes on this recommendation - German acting seems so wooden and stilted. Does it get any better than the first two?
Babylon Berlin was another, set in the 20's and again stilted.

Did you watch it in german? I assume there was an english overdub…
It is also a fairly good reminder of how people get indoctrinated and cannot see any other way of life.

My German is limited to what used to be in the "War Picture Library" comics - Achtung Englander, etc.

Oh yeah, die englander pig dog etc etc. Me and my brother got those too!

Watched Unlocked on Netflix last night-leaves Kleo for dead (sorry Al)-its a full length movie, full of some well known actors/ress and a great story with some neat twists-and its in English
