The total number of Germans who died in WWII is estimated at 6.6 to 8.8 million, or roughly 10% of the population.

The eagerness to label deaths in Gaza genocide and call Israelis Nazis stems from the need to undermine the power of the Holocaust and Jewish suffering. Many have been longing for societal permission to openly attack Israel and the Jews, but they felt hampered until now.

Netanyahu's speech to the UN was aimed at the voters back home. The self-righteous twits who walked out on him played into his hands. "Look how they hate you! I'm the strong leader who protects you."

I would really like tabbed word processing. I wonder if anyone offers that or is planning to.

Hamas has conducted one of the most successful propaganda campaigns in history, but its success is largely due to the eagerness of Westerners, on the left and the right, to believe those lies.

Many really important things happened to me in years ending in 7. 1947: my family moved from England to South Africa. 1957: we moved to the US. 1967: I started working at NASA. 1977: my first book published. Then the pattern ended. Which proves that those were just coincidences.

Today is the 50th anniversary of the second Viking lander touching down on Mars. I worked on those missions. (50 years! Gadzooks!) Before Viking, I worked on the Apollo moon-landing project. (Yes, of course it was real.) I wrote about my Apollo experience here: www.amazon.com//dp/10806334...

It has long fascinated and amused me that when atheists pose difficult questions about god and what he does or does not do, theists respond by giving us detailed answers exculpating the imaginary fellow. How do they know? If their god exists, what makes them think their explanations are correct?

Trump is making noises about reassessing America's position on the Falklands sovereignty issue. People used to talk of "perfidious Albion." Thanks to Trump, now it's "perfidious Columbia."

Oliver Cromwell died of natural causes and thus escaped the punishment that would have been visited on him after the Restoration. So his body was exhumed and publicly hanged, and then his head was chopped off and displayed for many years on a pike at Westminster Hall. Just a thought.

Hegseth is considering running for president. I hope he does. It will make the Republican primary that much more entertaining.

I object to the term "AI slop". It sounds so nicely sneery, but it obscures the problem. If what AI produced were all sloppy, it would be easy to detect. Instead, it's getting steadily more convincing, hugely increasing fraud and powerfully effective propaganda.

Trump thought he was the fisherman, but it turns out that Iran is the fisherman and Trump is the fish, wriggling desperately on the hook and embedding it deeper with every twist and turn.

If Trump is not struck and killed by a lightning bolt on his birthday today, that will be sufficient proof that there is no god and prayers are not answered. If he is struck and killed, his worshipers will be quick to explain that it was just chance or perhaps the Devil at fault.

Chains has passed 250,000 words, which for me is a huge number, twice as long as any other book of mine. I can feel it coalescing into its final form. It no longer feels as though I'll never finish it. This summer, by God. Or maybe autumn. Well, winter, for sure.

People who ignore stop signs and red lights are tired of being bullied and looked down on by the sheep who stop at those evil things that are there as part of a conspiracy to control us. Stopping kills people! It's a fact! Do your research, people! This a post about vaccines.

Are we sure that the Trump who is returning from China is the same as the Trump who went to China? Given China's rapid advancements in robotics, it's possible that the returning Trump is, er, the Manchurian candibot. On the other hand, it could only be an improvement.

I think future historians will see Trump's current hat-in-hand trip to China as the definitive moment when the world order finally tilted decisively to the East.

Of course this is far fetched, but it sometimes seems that we are moving towards lese majestie and the Roberts court will soon announce that it's a principle inherent in the Constitution.

Every day, Trump gets crazier, more destructive, and more dangerous. And every day, the bots praise him more effusively and attempt to rewrite history more absurdly, and Republicans force themselves to grin more widely and shout, "This is fine!"

I suspect that even when his people try to tell Trump actual facts, their words go in one of his ears and out the other because there's nothing in between to stop them.

Trump is talking about awarding himself the Medal of Honor. If he does, surely the next Democratic president will revoke it. Also, if he does, will that alienate his remaining base, or will they convince themselves that he earned that medal in combat? Nothing would surprise me about them.

I thought Reagan was the worst we'd ever have to deal with. Dubya proved me wrong. I thought he was the worst we'd ever have to deal with. Trump proved me wrong. I hope he's the worst we'll ever have to deal with.
