Meme Dump!

Hey, Look!

"To fully trace the origin story of the Daniel Defense H9 Compact, you’d have to go back to the late 1990s, as online firearm forums were gradually supplanting the old rec.guns newsgroup on Usenet.

Step into the General Firearms Discussion section of any forum not dedicated to a specific brand and you were stepping into a war zone dominated by two feuding camps: the Glock Fanboys and the 1911 Acolytes were the Jets and the Sharks of these online war zones."

My full review is available online.

Panopticon Update...

Meta's pervert goggles are getting face recognition to make stalking random strangers you run across in public even easier.

"Rank One, whose board includes a former CIA deputy director and a former FBI science chief, supplied face recognition to Meta for internal development of its smart glasses app."

Well, there's nothing creeptastic about that at all.

This meme remains undefeated:

"Is It Monday Again Already?" Memes!

Tab Clearing...

• The goons who keep an eye on the crews of the "shadow fleet" tankers that are the Russian economy's increasingly tenuous financial lifeline.


• The paid influencers who hype Polymarket to the rubes.


• Pokémon Go location data sold for use in training military drones. No wonder people are starting to hate everything about Big Tech.

Travel Day Yesterday...

Woke up in a hotel in the middle of Nebraska yesterday after a two-day carbine class/match at Heartland Public Shooting Park just outside Grand Island.

Left the hotel at 0600 local for a ride to Lincoln, a flight to Denver, and then... after my connecting flight wound up delayed by over two hours ...a flight home to Indy. I arrived home around 9PM EDT.

Included in the day was the experience of looking out the airplane window at 6PM and seeing Grand Island below, the place from which I had departed twelve hours prior. Ah, the magic of hub-and-spoke air travel.

After a full day of tours on the concrete floors of the various Hornady plants in Grand Island, two days on the range, and then an absolute Hell Day of travel, I am officially whupped.

Surveillance States

Perhaps unsurprisingly, cops keep getting caught using Flock cameras and their surveillance database to stalk people.

Welcome to the panopticon.
