Two recent photo posts on Mastodon reminded me how much necks lie. First, there’s this fine set of four photos of the same grey heron, by Zongora: From a distance, you might assume that the long-necked bird shown in the top two pictures is a different species from the short-necked bird in the bottom two, […]| Sauropod Vertebra Picture of the Week
Back in April, US Defense Secretary Pete “Signal” Hegseth ordered 381 books removed from the US Naval Academy’s Nimitz Library.

One of the appeals was 32-bit floating-point recording which was literally promised to eliminate concerns about input levelling, clipping, and noise: The reality is, with 32-bit float recording you can turn on your recorder, hit… Read more| Wade Tregaskis
If her “opposition” to her brother is simply an expression of sisterly concern, beyond the recently concluded elections, what will Imee do if helping the Dutertes greatly harms her brother, or her family’s reputation, which she has labored for decades to rehabilitate? Following the 2025 polls, it appears that Imee Marcos will retain her Senate […]| Diktadura – The Marcos Regime Research
People Power—truthfully against tyranny and dictatorship—is still alive. And it is stirring. By virtue of Proclamation no. 727, s. 2024, Feb. 25, 2025, the anniversary of the Edsa People Power Revolution, was declared a “special (working) day” by President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. The year before, Feb. 25 was not included in the list of national […]| Diktadura – The Marcos Regime Research
The fear of many during the 2022 elections campaign that a Bongbong Marcos presidency would lead to more Marcos Sr. “glory days” propaganda has come true. A “new” Marcos Memorial hospital Among the active advertisements for bids one can view at the Department of Public Works and Highways website, one will find documents regarding civil works for […]| Diktadura – The Marcos Regime Research
Unlike Sara Duterte, Carlito Dimailig issued no threats and just did it. Imelda hacked Fifty-two years ago this month, with martial law eleven weeks in effect, at around five in the afternoon of Dec. 7, 1972, Carlito Dimailig lunged at then First Lady Imelda Romualdez Marcos with a 12-inch bolo. Conspicuous in a dark suit, Carlito […]| Diktadura – The Marcos Regime Research
Originally published by Vera Files on November 19, 2024 There is something oddly appropriate about relatives of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.—namely his cousin, Philippine ambassador to the United States Jose Manuel Romualdez and his sister, Sen. Imee Marcos—expressing concern about their undocumented countrymen being deported from the US under another Trump presidency, given that the American government […]| Diktadura – The Marcos Regime Research
Originally published by Vera Files on November 11, 2024 President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. was spinning a tale when he talked about his father’s Bicol River Basin Development Project during a situation briefing on Oct. 26 in Naga City on the massive floods unleashed by severe tropical storm Kristine. “Itong mga lugar, mga Batangas, mga Cavite, nawala kaagad ang […]| Diktadura – The Marcos Regime Research

Here’s a new video for my playlist entitled “Thoughts on Current Affairs“. It’s an admittedly dim view of the world, perhaps for the right reasons. I offer clarifications on extra-terrestrials (spoiler alert, I think they’re bullshit), on where we are and where we might be headed. The take-away message here is that none of us […]| Raoul Pop

I use wish lists on various sites to track prices on games, and one of those sites is GameStop, everyone’s favorite store to hate™.
