STILL A FEW BUGS IN THE SYSTEM: Incomplete Tianlong-3 Ripped Off Parts of Rocket in Accident. “The Chinese Tianlong-3 rocket ripped off parts of the rocket when it broke free of the test stand. It was supposed to be held in place in the test. The rocket was not complete without grid fins. There were pieces falling off when it broke free and the engines did not sound correct and there were no fins to stabilize the flight. The rocket was months from being complete.”

GEORGE MF WASHINGTON: The (De)Population Bomb.

U.S. birth rates have plummeted, and what we face in 2024 is not “over-population”, but “de-population.”

And here it seems that the environmental activists, Leftists all, have finally outsmarted themselves.

A declining population is catastrophic for the Leftist project. For one thing, it threatens to destroy the welfare state Ponzi scheme, which is dependent on an ever-growing supply of young workers to pay into the system.

The way I see it, there’s really only one option left if we want to save the planet…

Sex!

It’s certainly worth trying — again and again.

DISPATCHES FROM THE EDUCATION APOCALYPSE: David Thompson is going “Between the Thighs” — and apparently, so is the British taxpayer:

Speaking, as we were, of Clown Quarter academics and their relentless intellectual thrusting, I bring you this:

A PhD researcher is “investigating pole dancers’ digital media practices,” with funding from the taxpayer, the Telegraph can reveal.

“Digital media practices” sounds so much more scholarly than, say, tarts who use OnlyFans. Naturally, this is being done “through an intersectional feminist framework.” One that “centres lived experience.” So lofty stuff, and rigorous to boot.

The researcher behind this colossal undertaking informs us,

“As someone who frequently practices pole dancing for recreational purposes and also has some experience of online sex work…
