CIVIL RIGHTS UPDATE:

FAIL, BRITANNIA: The Imperial ‘Woke’ Museum didn’t want to display my war medal collection – at least there’s still one place that values duty, bravery and sacrifice.

So farewell ‘Imperial Woke Museum’, hello National Army Museum.

For those who missed the announcement, the latter has agreed to display my collection of Victoria Crosses (VCs) and George Crosses (GCs), the largest of its kind in the world.

This is the very same medal collection that the Imperial War Museum decided was no longer suitable to exhibit.

I am grateful that the National Army Museum, a mile and half up the Thames, still holds dear values such as bravery, duty and sacrifice.

The ‘Imperial Woke Museum’, however, has other priorities, which is why, after 15 years, it decided from the end of September last year to shut the Lord Ashcroft Gallery.

This was the gallery that, at the request of the IWM, I had spent £5million creating in 2010.

The museum’s new priorities include focusing on LGBTQ+ history. A virtual tour, ‘Exploring LGBTQ+ Stories in Times of Conflict’, was launched late last year.

Britain basically neutered and downsized its once-proud military into near non-existence — was it really necessary to take the degradation ever further?

Of course it was.

A SOLUTION SO SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE THAT DEMS WILL NEVER ALLOW IT:

HUH: Survey finds Gen Z is the most alcohol‑averse generation. “The report, which surveyed drinking habits among Americans, found that Gen-Z is the most alcohol-averse generation, with 53% reporting they don’t drink. Gen-Z’s choice to put the bottle down was followed by Baby Boomers and Gen Xers, with 47% of both generations opting out.”

Those numbers seem high.

FRAUD AND THEFT, ALL THE WAY DOWN:

YOU DON’T SAY: Ads Are Popping Up on the Fridge and It Isn’t Going Over Well.

Walking into his kitchen, Tim Yoder recoiled at a message on his refrigerator door: “Shop Samsung water filters.”

Yoder, a supply-chain manager in Chicago, owns a Samsung Electronics Family Hub fridge. He paid $1,400 for an appliance that came with a 32-inch screen on the door that allows him to control other Samsung gadgets, pull up recipes or stream music.

But since last fall, it’s been intermittently serving up ads, part of a pilot program being tested on some of Samsung’s smart fridges sold in the U.S. The response? Not warm.

“I guess this is another place for somebody to shove an ad in your face,” said the 47-year-old Yoder, recalling the first time he noticed one.

Americans have learned to live with ads on smartphones and other devices as a necessary trade-off of connectivity. They’ve also gotten used to growing intrusions in the physical world, where everything from bathroom stalls to taxicab seats have become fair game for marketers. But the kitchen remained largely off-limits.

If you don’t want ads on a thing, don’t buy a thing with a screen and connectivity.

Exit question: Who needs a fridge that streams music? I can’t imagine the audio quality is any good. It’s also just one more damn thing on an expensive appliance that might break.

GREAT CATCH:

“Because the organizations that pay people to be domestic terrorists on the streets of Minneapolis and other blue cities can’t create those astroturfed violent mobs inside an airport.”

OOF:

BELMONT CLUB: Cracking The Mosaic Defense. “The key concept of Defa-e Mozaiki is to avoid relying on a single vulnerable ‘brain.’ Mosaic, as the term visually suggests, is designed so that decapitation strikes (killing top leaders, bombing Tehran, severing communications) do not collapse the system. It relies on extreme decentralization of command and control to achieve this. Authority is pushed down to roughly 31 semi-autonomous operational zones in Iran. Each of these zones has four ways of continuing a fight, each separate from the other, which can act independently or coordinate when needed.”

WELL, WHEN YOU PUT IT LIKE THAT…:

VERTICAL INTEGRATION: Elon Musk launches TERAFAB: The $25B Tesla-SpaceXAI chip factory that will rewire the AI industry.

Elon Musk took the stage over the weekend at the defunct Seaholm Power Plant in Austin, Texas, to officially unveil TERAFAB, a $20-25 billion joint venture between Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI that he described as “the most epic chip building exercise in history by far.” The announcement marks the most ambitious infrastructure bet Musk has made since Gigafactory 1 in Sparks, Nevada, and it fuses three of his companies into a single, vertically integrated AI hardware machine for the first time.

TERAFAB is designed to consolidate every stage of semiconductor production under one roof, including chip design, lithography, fabrication, memory production, advanced packaging, and testing. At full capacity, the facility would scale to roughly 70% of the global output from the current world’s largest semiconductor foundry from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC).

Elon Musk’s stated goal is one terawatt of computing power annually, split between Tesla’s AI5 inference chips for vehicles and Optimus robots, and D3 chips built specifically for SpaceXAI’s orbital satellite constellation.

I once showed my wife a video of an Optimus robot in action — just performing household tasks on voice commands — and she immediately said, “We’ll sell one of the cars.”

The point is, there’s no way foundries like TSMC can fulfill SpaceX/xAI’s chip needs — certainly not at a reasonable cost — so in typical fashion, Elon will make his own.

HEH:

Every target on this list keeps people alive. Not soldiers. CIVILIANS.

If this is how the IRGC wants to go, I can’t imagine it will go well for them.

UPDATE: “Account Suspended.” Your guess is as good as mine.
