I am of Baltic extraction and so have lingering historical problems with Russia, Teutonic knights, and Hitler. I have made my peace with Russia and deeply hope for an alliance between Russia, Europe and USA. In fact, I believe the Balts blew it by not negotiating that alliance themselves 30 years ago, or 20, or 10 or even right now. I have also made my peace with Teutonic knights and the Northern Crusades in the Baltics. As for Hitler, I am still skeptical. That said, I like rethinking the history of Germany and WW2. There is strong evidence Stalin intended to invade Germany and Hitler was mainly reacting to that, as well as Jewish Bolsheviks undermining Germany from within. I no longer believe the Holocaust myth. How much of it is false, I am not sure but at least 85% and probably all of it. Another thing about a song and video like the one above is it raises the self-esteem of Germans and whites in general while also confronting and smashing some of the strongest mind-control stereotypes on earth. That is a major thing art should do, at least sometimes. ABN
Ask just about anybody, and they’ll tell you that new cars are too expensive. In the wake of tariffs shaking the auto industry and with the Trump administration pledging to kill the federal EV incentive, that situation isn’t looking to get better soon, especially for anyone wanting something battery-powered. Changing that overly spendy status quo is going to take something radical, and it’s hard to get more radical than what Slate Auto has planned.
Meet the Slate Truck, a sub-$20,000 (after federal incentives) electric vehicle that enters production next year. It only seats two yet has a bed big enough to hold a sheet of plywood. It only does 150 miles on a charge, only comes in gray, and the only way to listen to music while driving is if you bring along your phone and a Bluetooth speaker. It is the bare minimum of what a modern car can be, and yet it’s taken three years of development to get to this point.
But this is more than bargain-basement motoring. Slate is presenting its truck as minimalist design with DIY purpose, an attempt to not just go cheap but to create a new category of vehicle with a huge focus on personalization. That design also enables a low-cost approach to manufacturing that has caught the eye of major investors, reportedly including Jeff Bezos. It’s been engineered and will be manufactured in America, but is this extreme simplification too much for American consumers?
Connecticut State Police announced the arrest this week of a motorcyclist who, according to police, is the individual who built an online following under a pseudonym by posting to social media dozens of videos of himself speeding well above 150 mph and driving extremely aggressively.
Police identified the rider as Brice A. Bennett, 22, of Bloomfield. His arrest report says he had posted 72 videos on YouTube in 2024 using a pseudonym that was redacted from the report, but which was shared with CTNewsJunkie by a concerned citizen who had seen the videos. The screen name also exists on Instagram and Facebook where similar videos are posted. CTNewsJunkie has opted not to share the screen name because the accounts have large followings and appear to be monetized.
One of the YouTube videos shows the rider – whose face never appears in any of his videos – reaching 192 mph on I-91 northbound. Numerous other videos showed speeds above 150 mph in Connecticut and other states.
“The manuscript had survived the centuries after being recycled and repurposed in the 1500s as the cover for a property record from Huntingfield Manor in Suffolk, owned by the Vanneck family of Heveningham,” the university’s statement noted.
“It meant the remarkable discovery was folded, torn and even stitched into the binding of the book – making it almost impossible for Cambridge experts to access it, read it or confirm its origins,” the university said in a news release.

Thanks to modern technology – including multi-spectral imaging, computed tomography and 3D modeling – experts were able to scan and create a virtual image of the manuscript without risking any damage to it.
Skinny woman: Little brother, listen to me, don’t think I’m skinny. Skinny people have slim bodies, you can’t even smell their farts.
Lei Minmin: The sun is out and it’s red. I have a nest of little turtledoves. This turtledove has the thickest beak and specializes in eating little loaches from my sister’s house.
Fat woman: Little guy, listen to me, how can you drink urine as water? The girl has a strange temper, I will cut you off
Lei Minmin: This fat woman has no shame, why is she trying to catch turtledoves? Be careful, the turtledoves may fly up and peck at your little loach
Fat woman: You are shy when you talk, you said you have a nest of turtledoves, be careful or I will catch you and pluck out all your feathers.
