The James Webb Telescope is bringing it home, again! Check out this amazing photo the Webb telescope captured of Neptune in all its infrared glory on Wednesday. Totally stunning!!
The Voyager 2 flew by Neptune in 1989 on its way out of the solar system. Some scientists have been waiting 30 years for a revisit. The shot did not disappoint.
Neptune’s largest moon, Triton, is visible here – it’s the upper blue star-like light.
Thank you for reading today's post. Have an InterStellar Day! ~PrP
First, to PrP, the last blog was way too interesting to have been changed so quickly. Sometimes you have to let some of the good shit you put here brew. Too soon.
Which historical hero was a complete idiot? —One day this will belong to Trump.—
George Armstrong Custer.
Custer finished 34th out of 34 in the West Point class of 1862. He accumulated over 700 demerits while at West Point. He should have been assigned to some Podunk outpost but the Civil War meant a need for junior officers. Custer performed decently during the Civil War.
After the war, Custer engaged in numerous battles with Native American tribes, most infamously with the Cheyenne who were slaughtered at the Washita River.
Custer led an expedition that discovered gold in the Black Hills, leading to the Black Hills gold rush that infuriated the Lakota Sioux who considered the Black Hills to be sacred lands. Because the Sioux refused to sell the Black Hills land and defended it against gold miners, the US government decided to round up all the Plains Indians. Custer led the attack on a very large village with several thousand warriors from multiple tribes including the Sioux and Cheyenne. This despite being badly outnumbered. Custer and 260 of his men were killed.
Alas, because of Custer’s widow, Custer achieved a kind of hero status and generated more hatred for the Sioux who killed the “boy general”. Hollywood bestowed that status with movies like “They Died With Their Boots On”. Not until the 1970s or so was Custer treated with the kind of contempt he deserved.
Thanks for you comment. How long do you propose I keep a posting up? Would you prefer I keep two or three open at a time? What are your thoughts on the matter? Anyone else want to chime in?
Just keep doing what you are doing. Every now and then, if the thread is getting good let it grow.
My suggestion is that you post consistently. Meaning you post every Monday Wednesday and Friday. Or every Tuesday Thursday and Saturday, or once a week, or whatever you please. But do it consistently every week so that everyone knows when you’re gonna post a new blog. Then your readers will know how much time they have to make a comment before you post that new blog.
Yeah, good idea but i don’t see that happening. I’m just random. I think I have a work around though. And remember, all, you can always request to r/o REOPEN a post – instructions on the side panel
They were the ones that saw to it that Jimmy Carter wouldn’t be reelected. Just because he said that he would reveal to the world that aliens existed on the planet. Now, they are asserting that the world should be told that we are here.
Ignore them.
They were also the ones that kept the secret as to why hot water will freeze faster than cold water under certain circumstances from humans. While humans can repeat the experiment, they still can’t explain the phenomenon. And we can not forget they have several other secrets of physics that they keep from humans and some of us.
Let’s just agree that they are different.
“Different” Wasn’t it one of their’s that was Egypt’s King Tutankhamun until he tired of them forcing him to mate with so many human females that he left in a blaze so strong that the body was charged except his penis which was embalmed?
That’s correct. But are you aware that while the body had most of the skin burnt off, he left his penis unaffected so that they could embalm it with an erection on?
What joke best illustrates the difference between Democrats and Republicans?
A Republican and a Democrat are going out fishing in a old boat. They aren’t very far from shore, when the Democrat notices that the boat has a leak and is slowly taking on water. After some quick calculations, the Democrat says, “Look, the boat is sinking, but I think if we start bailing now, we can make it back to shore in 20 to 30 minutes.” The Republican responds, “No! Let’s head out to deeper water so we can spend that 30 minutes fishing!”

Tree branches are generally supplied with nutrients from roots that share the same side of the trunk as they do; it’s common when a tree has root damage for the branches in the tree’s canopy corresponding to those roots to wilt or die off (some trees are an exception, so a root injury may show itself anywhere in the tree’s canopy).
In a few years, people in California will have a new choice for what to do with their loved ones’ bodies after death: put them in their garden.
This weekend, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill into law that makes human composting legal in the state beginning in 2027. The bill, AB-351, makes California the fifth state to allow human composting since it was first legalized in Washington in 2019 (Oregon, Colorado, and Vermont are the other places where you can make yourself into mulch).
“AB 351 will provide an additional option for California residents that is more environmentally-friendly and gives them another choice for burial,” Assemblymember Cristina Garcia, who sponsored the bill, said in a release. “With climate change and sea-level rise as very real threats to our environment, this is an alternative method of final disposition that won’t contribute emissions into our atmosphere.”
Human beings cause more than enough trouble while we’re alive, but the practices we’ve developed to handle our bodies after death are also pretty bad for the environment. Burying a dead body takes about three gallons of embalming liquid per corpse—stuff like formaldehyde, methanol, and ethanol—and about 5.3 million gallons total gets buried with bodies each year. Meanwhile, cremation creates more than 500 pounds (227 kilograms) of carbon dioxide from the burning process of just one body, and the burning itself uses up the energy equivalent of two tanks of gasoline. In the U.S., cremation creates roughly 360,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide each year.
It’s a no-brainer, then, to think of greener alternatives. The most common process for human composting—and the one laid out in the new California law—is called natural organic reduction, which involves leaving the body in a container with some wood chips and other organic matter for about a month to let bacteria do its work. The resulting mulch (yep, it’s human body mulch) is then allowed to cure for a few more weeks before being turned over to the family. Each body can produce about a cubic yard of soil, or around one pickup truckbeds’ worth. According to Garcia’s release, this process will save about a metric ton of CO2 per body.
Seattle-based company Recompose, which is mentioned in Garcia’s press release, was the first officially licensed human composting service to open in the U.S. after Washington state legalized the practice. In the release, Recompose’s founder, Katrina Spade, who invented the natural organic reduction process and was a key part of the legalization drive in Washington, said the company hopes to expand its services to California soon.
Does blowing on a hot cup of tea actually cool it down?

It’s all down to the interplay of convection and evaporation.
Although your breath is generally warmer than the air, blowing on a hot cup of tea does cool it a little. As water molecules evaporate from the surface, the average kinetic energy of the tea drops, as does the temperature. The molecules condense in a steamy fog over the cup, which lowers the tea’s evaporation rate from the surface.
Blowing replaces the hot, moist air with cooler, drier air, which then increases evaporation. Stirring will help to cool the tea by speeding up the process of convection, which brings the hottest liquid at the bottom of the cup up to the top. Creating a vortex through stirring will also increase the surface area to boost evaporation and cooling.
Why did the opium in 19th century have a horrific effect on Chinese, whereas it did not have many consequences in British India and Europe?
Oh, but it had. The difference was the method of consumption.
While the Chinese smoked the opium (where it could easily enter the respiratory organs and bloodstream), the Western way of enjoying opium was different. They preferred to extract it with alcohol.
The tonic of opium in distilled ethanol is known as laudanum. It was first prepared by Paracelsus in the 16th century. It is an effective painkiller, and it also has disinfectant properties. And it is extremely addictive – having the effect of both alcohol and opium alkaloids.
Back in the 1800s, free trade was the ideology of the day and there was no such thing as pharmacological or drug jurisdiction. Laudanum was sold freely, and even mothers used it for soothing and calming their children. Laudanum was the most popular drug in Europe in the beginning of the Opium Wars, and pharmacies sold it as a patent drug.
By the 1800s laudanum was widely available—it could be easily purchased from pubs, grocers, barber shops, tobacconists, pharmacies, and even confectioners. The drug was often cheaper than alcohol, making it affordable to all levels of society. It was prescribed for everything from soothing a cranky infant to treating headaches, persistent cough, gout, rheumatism, diarrhoea, melancholy, and menstruation pains.
The result was that half of Europe was hooked on opium. The difference was they considered it as a normal part of their daily life. It was yet another medicine, and the term “drug addict” (the words “drug” and “medicine” are interchangeable in English) stems from this era. Many poor people simply drank laudanum as it was much cheaper than whisky or gin.
The addiction was recognized very early on. See Confessions of an English Opium-Eater – Wikipedia Yet alcohol was seen as the much greater evil than opium. It was the alcohol which was blamed as the addictive drug there. Opium was seen as rather harmless as it did not cause its users to behave violently and in antisocial manner. Addictive? Yes, but so what, many people thought.
The sad fact is that alcohol is the root cause of the majority of European individual social problems. There is a reciprocal relationship. Alcohol dulls the senses and helps to stand misery and to linger on day to day, but alcoholism causes and exacerbates misery on itself. The temperance and teetotal movements of the 19th century noticed this and they were the big thing in the 19th century. This is one of the reasons why many extremist Christian sects still stress on complete abstinence on alcohol – and why the Prohibition was stated in several countries in the first place. Women were especially zealous on supporting the Prohibition.
[Women had very good reasons to support Prohibition – they were the ones to endure the violent drunken bouts of their husbands and see them wasting their income on booze.]
But laudanum was no less potent an addictive. See The Lure of Laudanum, the Victorians’ Favorite Drug. It claimed innumerable lives and ruined even more, including Bramwell Brontë, the brother of the three Brontë sisters – who was no less talented as an author and artist than his sisters. Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Bram Stoker, Charles Dickens, George Eliot, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Lord Byron, and many others were all known to have used laudanum. No European country with even a hint of industrialization was safe. Much of Finnish drug-related slang is rather old, and the word dulla, which today means cannabis, originally meant opium. Compare to the current opioid crisis in the USA, and you get the idea.
The situation was so bad that when the evils of opium finally were made clear to Queen Victoria (who was not amused on how her subjects poisoned China), the first real product responsibility, pharmacological and drug laws were stated. Laudanum disappeared from free markets and became a prescription drug. By the end of the 19th century, Europe managed to get itself off the opium hook.
Laudanum was finally superseded by more potent painkillers – Bayer had discovered an alkaloid, which they considered far safer, and a process to produce it. It was diacetylmorphine, which they gave the trade name Heroin. But that is another story.
Did You Know?
Assyrian ladies, even the grand ones (including princesses) had a quasi-moral ritualistic obligation to give themselves away, once a year (or at least one time during their lives), to (necessarily) stranger men who visited Nineveh’s Ishtar Temple, seeking sexual pleasure.
The significance of such a deed should not be underestimated vis-a-vis how the implacable strength of “religious” [1] values was intertwined with every aspect of men’s and women’s existence in Ancient Mesopotamian civilizations.
In Assyria, although the supreme god Aššur embodied the essence of the vast majority of their divine entities, Shamash (the sun god), Ninurta (the god of war), and Ishtar (the beloved goddess of sex, war, and prostitution) played a significant secondary role in the lives of their entire population.
Nothing was off the scale for Assyrians (who called themselves the “men of Aššur”) [2] regarding any aspect of their daily lives, whenever it had anything to do with the almighty Ashur, who was so highly omnipresent and omnipotent that his shadow could never be ignored or forfeited.
[1] It is essential to mention that neither the Sumerian nor the Akkadian languages had a specific word to denote the concept of “religion.” For the Mesopotamians, their godly entities were an indispensable part of everything they knew, and no new (strange) deity they might encounter would be viewed as unreal. [3]
[2] Assyria was the label chosen by the Greeks to refer to “the Land of Aššur”, bearing in mind that their capital city (for centuries) and main religious center were housed in the “city of Aššur.”

So Tom Cruise still thinks that we owe him because he never found the his alien wife.
He had three chances: Mimi Rogers, Nicole Kidman, and Katie Homes. If he had correctly picked the alien she would reveal her self by the age of 33. If he failed, his next pick had to be 11 years younger than the miss. He was given three tries. He failed we owe him nothing.
Curious as to the deal(?)that was made between him and the aliens and what does he think you owe him?
And I’ll ask WHY did you make a deal with him? What could he have had you wanted in exchange so badly?
Men, how does one explain their narcissistic, misogynistic, violent character?
“I loved her. Sacrifices should be consummated in blood.”
On February 26, 1913, Catholic priest Hans Schmidt married Anna Aumuller in New York City — an act that wasn’t allowed within his chosen profession. He rented an apartment for her in uptown Manhattan and planned to keep their relationship a secret; that is until she became pregnant.
Not wanting to lose his job, Schmidt brutally murdered his beloved with a 12-inch butcher’s knife, sawed her head off with a hacksaw, and dumped her remains in the Hudson River.
Despite his lawyer’s insanity plea resulting in a hung jury, Schmidt was sentenced to dea*th by electric chair in his retrial. To this day, Hans Schmidt is the only Catholic priest executed in U.S. history.
Only a man could claim to love a woman while he is stabbing her to death and sawing off her head. Enough to drive any same woman to another one.
It is true to say that the only thing more dangerous than a human world with religion, is a human world without it? Humans exhibit no inherent morals or decency without religious teachings or the threat of punishment like hell.
What are we to think about the TWO?
It is rumored that ONE gave the OTHER sex, and the OTHER gave that ONE immortality. The question is if true, which is the direct descendent of the GODS? Or does it matter since ONE cannot exist without the OTHER?
Y*/8 promised Dawn Wright that they would meet her when she reached the deepest known spot on earth? That meeting was not authorized. Challenger Deep belongs to more than just your occupants. Your agreement with the Americans does not bind the rest of us.
Lawsuits against Meta claim its apps track users despite Apple’s rules
Researcher says Facebook and Instagram for iOS can track anything you do on any website.
By Matt Binder on September 22, 2022
iPhone users’ data is still be tracked via Meta’s iOS apps, alleges new lawsuits.
Facebook and Instagram are using a sneaky loophole to collect Apple iPhone users’ data, according to two new class action lawsuits filed against the social network’s parent company, Meta.
According to the lawsuits, Meta has been injecting javascript tracking code into websites that users visit via the in-app browsers in Facebook and Instagram for iOS, but without user permission.
In 2021, Apple rolled out its new privacy policy, called App Tracking Transparency (ATT), which requires app developers to ask users if their data can be tracked. As a result of Apple’s rule change, Big Tech companies have lost billions of dollars due to Apple’s privacy decision. Meta alone stands to lose $10 billion in 2022. Being able to track what internet users are doing online is a major revenue stream for businesses that rely on advertising for monetization. Apple and Meta have been trading jabs at one another over the app tracking issue ever since.
The allegations levied at Meta wouldn’t just implicate the company in breaking Apple’s policies, Meta could be breaking laws around the unauthorized collection of user data as well.
In August, security researcher Felix Krause published a blog post titled “Instagram and Facebook can track anything you do on any website in their in-app browser,” and shared his discovery, along with what it meant.
“This allows Instagram to monitor everything happening on external websites, without the consent from the user, nor the website provider,” Kraus wrote.
In a tweet thread last month, Krause explained that he submitted the issue to Meta about 9 weeks before publishing his research but didn’t hear back. After his work went viral, Meta reached out to the researcher in mid-August claiming that “the system they built honors the user’s ATT choice.”
Meta says the claims in the lawsuit are “without merit,” according to a statement the company provided to Bloomberg. Facebook and Instagram’s parent company maintains that it “designed its in-app browser to respect users’ privacy choices.”
Who is the most notorious mad genius of all time? Here is one in the runnings.
How about instead of notorious we focus on an evil genius that should be more notorious? Nazi scientists always get all the focus but what if I told you Japan had their own version of an evil scientist and he was an absolute monster.
Meet Shirō Ishii – a serious piece of shit
This guy was a Doctor and microbiologist- and a rather smart one at that. He was regarded as a brilliant person for nearly his entire life. He was well educated and joined the army as a doctor. While there he caught the eyes of his superiors and was sent for further education at Kyoto Imperial University.
During WW2 he was placed in charge of Unit 731 and this is what he was known for.
What was unit 731? Well, they were a scientific unit that conducted experiments and thought up new ways to win the war. Some examples of things they did include
Imprisoning women, raping them until they got pregnant, and then running horrid painful experiments on them just so they could see how certain poisons affected pregnant women.
They would infect people with syphilis and then cut them open (while alive and awake) so they could see what their bodies did as the infection progressed. Women, men, and even children were forcibly infected
This is called vivisection- its the practice of cutting someone open while alive to see what their body is doing and its typically done when experimenting on animals. In unit 731 they did it to people without anesthesia- always resulting in a slow agonizing death for the person.
Injected people with animal blood to see what happens (bad way to die)
Placed people in centrifuges and spun it until they died
Deprived prisoners of food and water to see how long it was until they died
Placed people in low-pressure chambers until their eyes popped out
Burned people alive to see how long they would live
Injected people with saltwater to see what would happen
Poisoned people to see the effects
gave people radiation poisoning to see the effects
Leave 3-day old babies in the cold just to see how long it took them to freeze to death
Tested flamethrowers on live people
Tested grenades on live people
Removed organs for fun. For instance, they would remove someone’s stomach and attach their esophagus to their intestines directly.
Tested hundreds of diseases and biological weapons on people
In all, around 10,000 prisoners were killed by Unit 731 and as many as 20,000 were tested on. The biological weapons produced by this unit were used to kill as many as 500,000 civilians
On a side note not even the Nazis used chemical weapons in WW2 (they only did in concentration camps). The ONLY nation to employ chemical weapons against civilian and military targets in WW2 was Japan.
You may wonder what happened to Shirō. I mean we caught him and put him on trial for war crimes right?
Nope
He was given full immunity in exchange for full disclosure of his tests. American microbiologists stated that Shirō’s findings were extremely valuable and impossible to replicate unless the experiments were done again.
Shirō lived out the remainder of his life a free man and died in 1959.
That should tell you how sick the whiteboy is. Nothing is too horrible if there is a potential profit in it.
yuck make me think of the Dutch film centipede
Did You Know?
There is no blue pigmentation (in the iris or ocular fluid) in blue eyes—the blue color is created by “Rayleigh scattering”, the same scientific phenomenon that makes the sky seem blue.
Why are you so taken with Americans. Are you aware the country of japan a Hitler ally saved thousands more Jews than the Americans when Hitler was exterminating them?
Japan bore no ill-will to the Jews. In fact, even if it sounds a bit ironic, Japan was one of the safest places for Jews to be during the Second World War. To the ire of Nazi Germany, the country accepted thousands of Jewish refugees during the war and did their best to accommodate them, giving them visas for life. The Nazis were critical of this and requested that they take part in the Holocaust. The requests were denied. Here is what the Japanese foreign minister of the era stated:
“I am the man responsible for the alliance with Hitler, but nowhere have I promised that we would carry out his anti-Semitic policies in Japan. This is not simply my personal opinion, it is the opinion of Japan, and I have no compunction about announcing it to the world.”
Many of the Jews landed at the port city of Kobe, and assimilated into a community that became known as JEWCOM. They were treated without prejudice, had synagogues, and both locals and the government assisted them. For example, a doctor refused payment when he discovered one of his patients was a refugee, a farmer offered a portion of his fruit harvest to incoming child refugees, they gave the Mir Yeshiva use of a building for Torah studies, and the government helped to acquire matzo for Passover.
So we are expected to take the side of S[2 on this. Wasn’t he the one whose identity we had to hide less Europe discover that he had been involved in thousands of crimes across Europe for decades. Wasn’t it his “brilliant” idea to use a female body to carry out his crimes so as to throw the human detectives off his scent? Did we not have to weave a very careful scenario to put the blame on several other human criminals to prevent humans from discovering that an ageless woman was a serial killer of incredible cunning and practically ageless? We had to practically work magic to convince the humans that the Phantom of Heilbronn never existed. S[2 must never be allowed back on earth.
The fucking FBI:
Which Hollywood actors or actresses’ careers were ruined because of a lie?
Jean Seberg
Jean Seberg was a pretty young girl from Iowa who managed to land the title role in Otto Preminger’s Saint Joan. Her selection as a total newcomer got great press, but the critics panned both her and the film. A second attempt in Bonjour Tristesse, directed by Preminger did not do much better at the box office. In 1959, she starred in The Mouse that Roared, and her career began on a steady upward arc through the 1960s as she appeared in Paint your Wagon, Airport, and moved between American and European cinema.
Beginning in the mid-1960s, Jean donated to groups that supported the civil rights movement, including the NAACP and various Native American rights groups, which put her on the radar of J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI. They initiated a COINTELPRO operation against her.
The operation uncovered donations she made to the Black Panther Party, and seizing on that, the FBI created a false story that she was made pregnant by Raymond Hewitt, a prominent Black Panther leader. The story was reported by the Los Angeles Times and Newsweek. She was pregnant at the time by her husband, Romain Gary, and she became so upset at the stories that she went into premature labor, and the baby died after two days. Seberg and her husband sued Newsweek for defamation and won. Newsweek paid $10,000 in damages and was ordered to print a retraction in their magazine and several newspapers.
But the harassment didn’t stop.
The FBI kept her under aggressive surveillance in that their agents made little to no effort to disguise their presence, her phones were tapped for years, and they enlisted Army Intelligence and the CIA to keep her under watch when she was abroad. Records released under FOIA requests revealed Hoover kept the Nixon White House apprised of the status of her case through reports to White House Assistant to the President for Domestic Affairs, John Ehrlichman.
At the peak of her career and the height of the FBI harassment, her roles in Hollywood suddenly dried up. She was being offered parts that, in her words, bordered on pornography or were minor characters. Researchers who have reviewed the records of the operation believe she was effectively blacklisted because no movie company wanted to deal with the FBI harassing their productions. She moved to France, where she spent the rest of her life.
On August 30, 1979, her body was found wrapped in a blanket in the back seat of her car in Paris, not far from where she lived. There was a note to her son found with the remains, along with a bottle of pills, and an empty mineral water bottle.
The following year, charges were filed against “persons unknown” for failing to provide assistance to an endangered person. An autopsy revealed a blood alcohol level that would have prevented her from getting into the car by herself, but there were no alcohol containers found, so the French police surmised someone must have put Jean in the car and left. Her first husband, Romain Gary, said that the FBI harassment was the primary cause of the mental health issues she experienced in her last years.
The FBI not only ruined an innocent person’s career with their lies, they effectively took her life.
I love this story. It demonstrates the type of women who settled the frontier in the United States.
Nancy Hart was the wrong woman from whom to mess with or to steal a turkey. She was born Nancy Ann Morgan around 1735 and a cousin of Gen. Daniel Morgan of Revolutionary War fame.
She was a Georgia frontier dweller and was described as a 6-foot-tall, red-haired, smallpox-scarred woman so feisty her Cherokee neighbors called her “Wahatche,” or “War Woman.” Her size was quite unusual for the time.
While her husband, Benjamin Hart, was off fighting for the American cause, Nancy Hart acted as a spy, hanging around British posts disguised as a feeble-minded man and keeping tabs on British troop movements and the activities of local Loyalists, or Tories and reporting her observations to the American leaders.
The story about Hart that best characterizes her concerns a half-dozen British soldiers who confiscated a turkey from her farm and demanded she cook it for them. Not the thing to do. She complied — while quietly removing their weapons with the help of her daughter. Hart then held them at gunpoint, killing one soldier and wounding another when they tried to rush her. The rest were hanged by her neighbors.
One has to wonder was a turkey worth the lives of six British soldiers. All killed because of a turkey.
For years it was only a story. Anecdotal. Handed down but no real evidence. However, in 1912 that all changed. Railroad construction workers unearthed skeletal remains near what had been the Hart farm. Several of the skeletons had had their necks broken. Like they had been hanged. Like the story said.
That changed everything. That was sufficient proof to help cement Hart’s place in American Revolution history. It also convinced the folks in Georgia they were justified in naming a county after her — the only one of the state’s 159 counties named after a woman.
Did You Know?
The stethoscope was invented in 1816 by French physician René-Théophile-Hyacinthe Laennec and motivated by a desire to accurately (and modestly) diagnose heart problems in women. The stethoscope transmitted sound to the doctor’s ear more effectively than by putting an ear against the chest and allowed the doctor to listen without touching his ear to the woman’s body.
