HERE’S HOW THAT SPACE PROGRAM IS COMING ALONG:

Key quote: “The shift is deliberate: commanders would get faster, probabilistic warnings even if the first measurements are less precise, then see the track automatically tighten as more sensor data arrives.”

GREAT MOMENTS IN DOUBLE STANDARDS: Kings reporters caught thirsting over Ben Simmons, Zach LaVine in wild hot-mic moment: ‘I like lightskins.’

New Sacramento Kings guard Ben Simmons and his teammate Zach LaVine received an awkward welcome from several reporters during the team’s media day.

A live stream of the Kings’ press conference caught a few women in the room speaking about the players in between interviews. One reporter was seemingly asking which player had been speaking the podium.

“Ben Simmons. Ben Simmons was, that’s what comes with being Ben Simmons. Cringe. Cringe!” another woman responded.

“He’s lucky he’s so fine,” one reporter said.

“He’s a good looking dude! I didn’t notice, his skin is so smooth. I was like, damn, no tattoos?” said another.

One male reporter said that that former Golden State Warriors guard Jordan Poole was the woman’s type, to which the woman said, “Allegedly, I like lightskins, I guess.”

I’m sure the media would be equally laid back if the genders were reversed:

DISPATCHES FROM AL-BRIṬĀNIYĀ: Essex supermarket has sex-segregated checkout lines.

“The scene irritated English people, who say they are now forced to obey the rules of Islamist migrants in their own country.”

Well, I’ve been warning about this for years, but of course, such warnings were “Islamophobic.” In Muslim countries, non-Muslims are expected to conform their behavior to Islamic mores and beliefs. And in non-Muslim countries, non-Muslims are expected to conform their behavior to Islamic mores and beliefs. Especially when that non-Muslim country is quickly becoming a Muslim country.

For those of us on this side of the pond, here’s a nifty primer on UK politics:

> Eventually, we’d had enough.. but there was no other serious movement on the right yet.. so we punished them with a historically low vote, removing them from power.

> This meant the mainstream left wing party won by default. But quickly realised all their ideas had been implemented..

> So now all they do is tinker at the edges and brutally crack down on anyone deemed to be problematic to the race communism revolution / replacement program.

So here we are.. patiently waiting for 2029 for our next vote.. as if in an orderly queue.. with a party in power that is the antithesis of what the majority of British people actually want.

Meanwhile the right is so unbelievably frustrated that it has fractured into 3 parties.

1) the original conservatives “we’re sorry we will definitely lower immigration this time.”

2) Reform : “anyone can be British as long as it’s legal – we just want to grow the economy and stop the illegals.”

3) Restore : “millions must go.”

All the Brits wanted was the nice country they’d always had, but that was too much for their so-called elites to bear.
