Why Starship Doesn’t Need Helium Anymore

The Night Agent: Season 3 - Netflix Series - Update

A couple of days ago I said this series was awful, however, it is now three days later and we have finished the series and I must say that the last three episodes were much better.  Or maybe it was because I was drinking tequila. 

Episode 7 has a fascinating scene where the villain (the assassin) interviews our hero (Peter) after injecting him with Blue 88, a truth serum. Our hero is struggling to keep from revealing the location of his cohorts, but it's a losing battle. The villain doesn't badger Peter with direct questions, but leads him down the garden path and the information just comes out. Cleverly done.

There is also a scene where the President denies all culpability and it sounds so much like what we get from the White House (any White House, this one or previous one, or any since Kennedy), I just burst out laughing.

I wonder if they changed writers?

Fillyjonk likes to knit. Today she has a few words to say about reading for fun. I wouldn't be surprised if she knit the pigeon.

Professor Schlevogt's Compass

Fine story on RT about Hungary and European Union. It's kind of long, so I've only included the introduction. The professor is a heck of a wordsmith, so it's worth reading just to enjoy the flow. As to his argument, I totally agree. Europe is going to the dogs, and quickly.

Prof. Schlevogt’s Compass No. 53: Europe’s dying heart – Hungary’s vote delivers lethal kick

Orbán’s defeat will saddle EU taxpayers with over €100bn in short order – yet this is but the tip of the iceberg.

The speechwriter of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen must have fancied himself (genderspeak: themselves) deserving of a handsome bonus when he placed the following words into his principal’s mouth: “Europe’s heart is beating stronger in Hungary tonight.”

Yet his euphoria – and the delirious jubilation of the liberal European elite at the defeat of Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán by his rival Péter Magyar in the 2026 parliamentary elections – will prove short-lived.

If anything, Europe’s “heart” is not beating stronger, but faster, driven by a final surge of adrenaline: the reflex of a chronically diseased system under acute stress. What masquerades as renewed vitality, then, is merely the pathological sign of a failing organism – a last, frantic acceleration before terminal failure.

The Union’s demise will not be averted by rhetoric; it is being hastened by it. In the absence of Viktor Orbán’s restraining role, five mutually reinforcing forces of erosion across multiple landscapes will accelerate, converging to precipitate the EU’s ignominious end.
