    Since 2003, the black hole at the center of the Perseus galaxy cluster has been associated with sound. This is because astronomers discovered that pressure waves sent out by the black hole caused ripples in the cluster's hot gas that could be translated into a note—one that humans cannot hear, some 57 octaves below middle C. Now a new sonification brings more notes to this black hole sound machine. This new sonification—that is, the translation of astronomical data into sound—is being released for NASA's Black Hole Week this year. In some ways, this sonification is unlike any other done before...

    NEW YORK — It was February, the Omicron surge was abating and Mayor Eric Adams was telling New Yorkers, “The best thing we can do to deal with Covid is get back to work.” But the city’s public advocate, a fellow Democrat who’s running for governor, offered a different prescription for managing the pandemic and reviving the local economy. “As Covid-19 cases thankfully drop across New York,” Public Advocate Jumaane Williams said, “the way forward is to forge a new normal, in line with the science and with the needs of New Yorkers, with an eye toward the future for...

Quotes from Senator Paul: "If you can't agree to that [what disinformation is--e.g. the Steele dossier], how are we ever going to come to an agreement on what [disinformation is] so that you can police it on social media?" "I think you've got no idea what disinformation is." "Do you know who the greatest propagator of disinformation in the history of the world is? The U.S. government." See video at link.

  • New Study Shows AC/DC Makes Surgeons Faster and More Precise — As Long As It’s Played Loud

    Nine times out of ten, if we’re listening to AC/DC, no one’s life should be in our hands. The Australian party rockers’ music is best suited for skulling coldies, laughing at d**kheads, and occasionally driving an ATV into a pool. But according to a new study, blasting AC/DC actually helps the speed and precision of surgeons on the job. As reported by Ultimate Guitar, a recent study at Heidelberg University in Germany showed that playing AC/DC’s music increased both speed and precision of cuts made by surgeons. Apparently, the amount of time needed to make a precision cut went from...

    ABC’s legal analyst Sunny Hostin said Tuesday on ABC’s “The View” that comedian Dave Chappelle getting attacked on stage during the “Netflix Is A Joke Fest” was in part due to former President Donald Trump unleashing “incivility.” Co-host Whoopi Goldberg said, “What do you think is happening? It’s happening on airplanes. It’s happening on street corners. People are just running up. I mean, the Hollywood Bowl. He just ran up on there.” Co-host Joy Behar said, “Things that can contribute to what’s going on. The pandemic, the opioid crisis, the fact that Trump was out there saying things like, ‘just...

    The word “racism,” or a variation of the word, was used every single day in April by hosts and guests on MSNBC. “Racism,” “Racist,” “Structural Racism,” “Overt Racism,” “Open Racism,” and even “Environmental Racism” were constantly repeated on the network with zero pushback whatsoever. Hosts and guests would also combine “racism” with other ‘woke’ phrases such as “sexism,” “homophobia,” “xenophobia,” and “antisemitism.” The use of these highly charged words was generally directed toward Republican politicians and conservative voters but also toward the United States and its institutions as a whole. MSNBC figures that repeatedly invoked “racism” include Joy Reid, Ari...

    On May 22-28, 2022, ultimate control over America’s healthcare system, and hence its national sovereignty, will be delivered for a vote to the World Health Organization’s governing legislative body, the World Health Assembly (WHA). This threat is contained in new amendments to WHO’s International Health Regulations, proposed by the Biden administration, that are scheduled as “Provisional agenda item 16.2” at the upcoming conference on May 22-28, 2022.1 These amendments will empower WHO’s Director-General to declare health emergencies or crises in any nation and to do so unilaterally and against the opposition of the target nation. The Director-General will be able...

    A candy store employee is facing murder charges after allegedly attacking a woman outside the Tacoma store with a "samurai-like" sword. Abdelhakim Choubabi, 52, murdered the woman outside the Candy Market in the 700 block of Market Street around 7:50 p.m. on April 30, according to court records. Tacoma police say they were called to the scene by a resident nearby who saw what they described as a woman being hit multiple times with a pole of some kind. The woman was found dead from multiple stab wounds about 20 feet outside the store entrance. Choubabi, though, had left in...
  • Hungary set to veto EU ban on Russian oil: Brussels' move to wean itself off Putin's crude looks dead in the water already as splits appear in bloc

    Hungary warned today that it would not support the proposed EU ban on Russian oil in its current form as it would 'completely destroy' its energy supply security. The EU proposal - announced earlier on Wednesday - would ban Russian crude gradually over the next six months and refined fuels by the end of this year, in retaliation for Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Hungary and Slovakia - both highly depending on Moscow's oil exports - would get until the end of 2023 to phase out Russian supplies. However, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said this concession would not be enough to...

    House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said in the aftermath of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack that removing former President Trump through the 25th Amendment “takes too long,” according to the latest leaked recording of a call with top House GOP colleagues. McCarthy, who is aiming to be Speaker if Republicans win the House majority in November, also said that what Trump did was “atrocious and totally wrong” but expressed opposition to impeachment on the call.

    Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin will receive 20 to 25 years in prison after a judge accepted a plea deal he struck with prosecutors in December. In December, Chauvin pleaded guilty to charges of violating George Floyd’s civil rights when he pinned his knee on Floyd’s neck, killing him. In exchange, Chauvin agreed a sentencing between 20 to 25 years in prison. Chauvin’s decision to enter a plea deal came after initially rejecting another plea offer in September.

  • Oregon forces all schools — elementary and up — to put 'menstrual products' in boys' bathrooms with 'instructions on how to use' them

    The law aims to 'affirm the right to menstrual dignity for transgender, intersex, nonbinary, and two-spirit students.' Every public school in Oregon — including elementary institutions — will soon be required to provide tampons and other feminine products in boys' bathrooms with "instructions on how to use" them. The controversial requirement is in accordance with the state's new Menstrual Dignity Act, signed into law by Democratic Gov. Kate Brown last year, which mandates that menstrual products be made available in "every student bathroom." Following the bill's passage, the Oregon Department of Education developed and distributed a "Medical Dignity for Students"...
