SIR PATRICK STEWART (1940-2026)
Before everything else, Patrick was defined by being born and bred in Yorkshire, the proud county in the north of England which he loved to the end. You could hear it in his accented voice and in the stern honesty with which he told you what he thought and felt. Yorkshiremen have no truck with half-truths or avoidance of big issues. He wore his heart on his sleeve, which made him a man to rely on, to admire and in my case, love.
We first met as ambitious young actors with the Royal Shakespeare Company half a century ago but we weren’t in the same productions. My first strong memory was a few years later, meeting him in the street in central London when he told me about an offer to take over a leading part in 'Star Trek'. “But Patrick think of your stage career in the UK. Do you really want to risk—getting lost in Hollywood for years and years?”. Well, he took the risk and thank goodness for us all that he did for not just his devoted Trekkies but film and theatre audiences, who marvelled at his using international celebrity to star in a string of cinema successes ('X-Men' of course) and in great classical plays by Shakespeare, Ibsen, Arthur Miller, Peter Shaffer, Pinter and Beckett at Stratford-upon-Avon, in London’s West End and on Broadway.
America was his adopted home, where he met his adored Sunny who has cared for him through sickness and health, through thick and thin. But he never forsook his origins: and the proudest achievement of the most respected and beloved actor of his generation on either side of the Atlantic, was his appointment as Chancellor of Huddersfield University in Yorkshire.
His farewell performance in 'Avengers: Doomsday' is yet to be seen.

Patrick Stewart on Trump (2017): “You might say to me, well, you’re not an American, what has it got to do with you? The fact is when America sneezes, the world catches a cold. America I think is on the edge of a very bad flu infection and it’s because of the man who’s in the White House”

Death comes for us all,
That’s all I know for sure.
The question isn’t “are you prepared to die?”
The question is “who will you be when you close your eyes?”

Wow… Auf X sind alarmierende Nachrichten aufgetaucht. Wenn das stimmt, ist das ein Fiasko für Forrest Musk !!
Einer Untersuchung zufolge hat der Eigentümer von SpaceX einen Satelliten der USA und der NATO blockiert, um den Russen zu helfen, diesen nach dem Zusammenbruch der ukrainischen Luftabwehr abzufangen.
US-Forscher haben eine Tatsache aufgedeckt, die Musk sorgfältig verheimlicht und von der niemand etwas erfahren soll.
Es stellte sich heraus, dass SpaceX am 13. und 14. Oktober während eines massiven russischen Angriffs mit 39 Raketen und Hunderten von Drohnen nicht nur Starshield/Starlink eingeschränkt hat – wodurch die Abfangrate ukrainischer Drohnen um 23 % sank und sogar US-Personal in Kiew 48 Stunden später (am 15. Oktober) ohne Kommunikation blieb – sondern dass der Eigentümer von SpaceX zudem einen von den USA lizenzierten Orbitalradarsatelliten, ICEYE-X36 (der von der NRO, der US-Space Force und der NATO genutzt wird) und setzte seinen eigenen Satelliten ein, damit der russische Militärsatellit COSMOS 2612 diesen abfangen konnte (a-posteriori-Wahrscheinlichkeit von 99,89 %–99,98 %).
Das Pentagon, die US-Space Force und die NATO sind über diesen Verrat an den nationalen Interessen schlichtweg außer sich vor Wut.
Von nun an kann sich das US-Militär angesichts solch absurder Fehltritte nicht mehr auf die „Zusammenarbeit“ mit Musk verlassen oder sich sicher fühlen – ebenso wenig wie Partner aus anderen Ländern.
Bin gespannt, wie das wohl enden wird?
@EuromaidanPR
FINAL: SpaceX Blocked A U.S. And NATO Satellite to Assist a Russian Intercept After Crippling Ukraine's Air Defenses
New 5-page institutional brief & 60s 3D SGP4 orbital reconstruction with Craig Pirrong, Ph.D. @streetwiseprof | Data & Forensics: RAB @LibertyLynx
Pages 1-3 & 3D animation below; Pages 4-5 in Post 2; full 5-page PDF link in Post 3 🧵👇
As Craig Pirrong's counterfactual framework establishes: The Russian intercept is not the smoking gun. The failure to maneuver is.
1. The Sprinting Satellite Paradox & -96.64% Target Freeze (Page 1): Between Oct 13 and 24, 2026, Russian counterspace weapon COSMOS 2612 (68762) converted a 5-month, ~170 m/s co-planar trailing option into a 0.759 km sub-kilometer hold against U.S.-licensed radar satellite ICEYE-X36 (59103), which guides Ukraine's autonomous deep strikes on Russian oil refineries without SpaceX links, at the exact moment SpaceX throttled Ukrainian military Starshield terminals (-23.0% USF air-defense hits).
In June 2026 (with no Starlink alert), ICEYE-X36 defeated a Russian approach by dropping 0.500 km, generating 71.08 km/day secular drift (3.62 km/h in the sprint frame), exiting Russia's 3.0 km braking box in 49.7 to 60.78 minutes, blowing past Russia's 12 km or under onboard KTZ sensor in 3.31 hours, and causing a 103.7 to 118.5 km miss.
In October, as COSMOS 2612 fired a -2.2184 km (370.8x perched shock / 449.1x fit jump) burn to sprint 14.29x faster (400 km/day / 278 m/min), ICEYE-X36's evasion collapsed by 96.64% (to 16.8154 meters or less, P3 = 3.363%).
* Why? The Alert Itself Was the Weapon: SpaceX maintained a 0.401 km (0.711 km Oct 16) public GP collision alert via STARLINK-35856 (67013) despite holding internal v3/v4 forecasts 4.80x to 5.00x wider (1.925 to 2.003 km) and withholding autonomous Starlink clearance (M_Starlink = 0, W_X36 = 1, W_COSMOS = 0), legally freezing X36 under David Goldman's 2023 FCC Condition 16 (DA 23-797).
* Rational Russian exercise across a 363.7 km blind gap required ex-ante certainty of K = (E1, E2, E3). Across all 5 capability levers, SpaceX is the sole actor (N = 1): Posterior = 99.893% to 99.978% (Tier A floor; 1 in 3,748 to 17,841) and up to 99.999% (Tier B K-set).
2. Four-Way Tracker Blindness & What NRO/USSF Saw Live (Page 2):
* Public Catalogs (18th/19th SDS): Blind for 21.824 hours (363.7 km unobserved closure) on sprint (k6 to k7) and 19.385 hours on brake (k9 to k10, -382.71 km SGP4 delta).
* Russian Ground Radars (SKKP Krona/Okno): Bounded by Earth curvature at 541 km to a 22.8 degree (2,530 km) horizon cone, blind for 8 to 10 hours/day (80% to 94.5% of the orbit) with zero Americas/Pacific coverage.
* The Sole Unblinded Commercial Panopticon: Only SpaceX's Stargaze (31,000 star trackers, 40M+ daily tracks, 17M associated, 850 sightings/day, 7 to 15 min global custody / 99.73% 10-min hit rate) and sub-1-minute Space Safety portal (Appendix A & Section 4(b), with Chinese operators onboarded Oct 6 & 16) had real-time visibility across the blind gap, while NRO & USSF watch floors watched live on the classified High Accuracy Catalog (HAC / Space Fence / Vantor WorldView NEI), realizing 348 Starshield satellites in orbit (245 NRO spy satellites) sit on the same SpaceX bus.
3. Contracted Capacity Is Not Combat Availability & The 6-Way C2 Collapse (Page 3):
* Combat Output = Sensor Availability x Link Availability x Platform Availability x Permission Arriving Before Mission Window Closes (T_permission <= T_mission).
* The Two-Pronged Pincer: SpaceX weaponized FCC Condition 16 to freeze the Sensor Layer in orbit and a Commercial ToS ($500 liability cap) to blind the Transport Layer on the ground.
* 70-90 km/h Civilian Baseline vs. 4 Collapsed Alibis: Civilian Starlink in Ukraine was already capped at 70 to 90 km/h since Feb 2026 (S. Beskrestnov). The Oct 13-24 101 to 161 km/h gate hit DoD-contracted military Starshield links (-23.0% USF hits; Oct 19 Nova Vodolaha strike). Musk cycled through 4 contradicting alibis in 12 days (blaming DoD/POTUS Oct 14 -> ToS offensive loophole Oct 24 -> "sympathy for poor Russian conscripts" Oct 25 -> Russian ASAT/debris fear Oct 26), while resolving the exact same "weapon ToS" objection on U.S. LUCAS suicide drones in Iran via a 5x price hike ($5,000 to $25,000/mo)!
* COCO vs. GOGO ($8.8B+ Sign-Off Chain): Under Contractor-Owned, Contractor-Operated (COCO/OTA) deals signed off by Pete Hegseth, Stephen Feinberg, CTO Emil Michael, Lt. Gen. Philip Garrant, Gen. Michael Guetlein, Col. Ryan Frazier, Clare Hopper & NRO's Dr. Chris Scolese, taxpayers fund the satellites while SpaceX's civilian NOC retains 100% of the physical thruster and velocity kill-switches.

【衝撃】スーパークリークのコスプレイヤーが🇺🇸移民局に拉致・監禁され左足を骨折。政府の杜撰すぎる取り締まりに海外で大炎上
■何があった？
・週末にサンタアニタパーク競馬場でのウマ娘コスプレイベントに参加したシンガポール人コスプレイヤーのクララさんが、帰路の空港でアメリカ移民・関税執行局の男4人に突如呼び止められる
↓
・逮捕状や身分証の提示を求めたところ、体重が100キロ以上ありそうな巨漢捜査官4人から一斉に激しいタックルを受けて地面に叩きつけられ、左足から骨が折れる音がして激しい痛みを覚えるが、捜査官は構わず手錠をかけ連行する
↓
・連行される車の中で捜査官から「あなたは合法的な在留資格がないのに、数日前に飛行機に乗った。逮捕状が完成したのはつい最近だ」と説明を受ける
↓
・バタビアの収容施設へ移送されると、便座のない便器と麻の毛布が置かれた狭い留置所に放り込まれる
↓
・弁護士を要求しても「電話をかける機会は与える」と言われるのみで、電話をかけさせてほしいと頼んでも「黙って寝ろ、このクソ野郎」と怒鳴られる
↓
・足の痛みを訴えても同じように拒絶される
↓
・逮捕から14時間経ってようやく登録作業が完了し、逮捕状を提示される。逮捕容疑は
1.シンガポール人であること
2.アメリカ国民ではないこと
3.「入国した日付不明」「入国地点不明」のままアメリカに入国したこと
4. 2019～20年にアメリカの学校に在籍していたと虚偽の申告をした
ことの4点
↓
・しかし本人はパスポートなど当時の正当な入国記録や卒業証書を保持しており、3と4は明らかに誤った内容だった
↓
・施設側は弁護士への連絡や医師による治療要請を拒否し続けたが、被疑者が性別適合手術を受けたトランスジェンダーだと判明
↓
・収容先が単一の性別だけを収容する施設であったため、施設の収容基準を満たせず現場が大混乱
↓
・施設への収容が不可能となった結果、逮捕から約18時間後に足首へ電子監視装置を装着する条件で身柄が解放され、病院へ搬送され左足の治療を受けることができた
↓
・「移民問題によって公演が中止になり、私の旅行もまた、移民問題によって締めくくられることになった」「政治というものは、何も起きていないうちは、いつだって遠い世界の話だ。しかし、ある日突然、そうではなくなる」というメッセージを残し、最後は「HARIKITTE IKOU（張り切っていこう）」というキタサンブラックのセリフで締められている
■海外の反応
・なんてクソッタレな怪物じみた政権だ
・移民関税執行局を廃止しろ
・国民のこれまでの無行動が許してしまった事態だ
・ファンよ、来週の中間選挙で立ち上がろう

Insane but of course Flávio Bolsonaro used a jet owned by a narcotrafficker to flee to Miami and Trump and @marcorubio welcomed him with open arms smh
O jatinho usado por Flávio Bolsonaro para deixar o Brasil pertence à argentina Baires Fly, ligada a um empresário que fez negócios com Federico “Fred” Machado, que admitiu crimes financeiros nos EUA.
A empresa também é alvo de apurações na Argentina por suspeita de lavagem de dinheiro.
A reportagem ressalta que não há provas de envolvimento da Baires Fly ou de Flávio nos crimes investigados.

🥲 The “never-ending” world cruise has finally ended — thanks to soaring fuel prices
Many passengers sold their homes to live aboard Villa Vie Odyssey, which set off on a never-ending voyage around the world in 2024.
But now residents have been told to leave the ship: they are being disembarked in Cambodia, The Independent reports.
Global fuel prices have surged due to the US-Israeli war against Iran. According to the cruise operator, monthly fuel costs per cabin have risen from $1,800 to $8,000 in some parts of Asia.

The Brazilian Supreme Court also calls for an investigation into:
— Allegations that influencers were paid to promote pro-Bolsonaro Polymarket predictions.
— Whether Meta’s algorithms unfairly boosted Bolsonaro and restricted Lula.
— Reports of paid AI-generated fake accounts, deepfakes, and coordinated disinformation operations.

"My daughter caught measles when she was seven. I remember not feeling particularly alarmed about it.
Then one morning she said, 'I feel all sleepy,' and she went into a coma. In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead."
Roald Dahl on his daughter Olivia
Don’t fall for the fear campaign...what is MEASLES?...a fever, a cough, a rash, runny eyes & runny nose.
-Dr. Sherri Tenpenny
"The measles vaccine came out in 1963. In 1962, the death rate from measles was two in a million.”
"So it was not even deadly BEFORE we had a vaccine."
IF YOU FEAR MEASLES...
You must not know that even in the 60s, before the vaccine, the survival rate was over 99.9%.
You must not know that the MMR is a live virus vaccine & can cause measles.
You must not know that the MMR vaccine is linked to 2,657% MORE DEATHS than measles since 1995.
You must not know that it's a very mild childhood illness for well-nourished children.
You must not know that natural measles infection provides lifelong immunity, unlike the vaccine.
You must not know that there are huge lifelong health benefits to getting measles, including a lower risk of cancer, lower risk of heart disease & stronger immune resilience.
You must not know that the MMR insert lists over 60 serious adverse events, ranging from encephalitis, seizures & death.
You must not know that studies show Vitamin A drastically reduces measles complications-yet public health officials ignore it.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Pre-vaccine US: ~400-500 measles deaths, 48k hospitalizations, 1k encephalitis/yr (~2/M). Vaccine cut >99%. 2657% uses unverified VAERS (not causal) vs rare measles deaths. MMR rarely mild symptoms. Benefit claims weak; measles causes immune amnesia.

The shoes are legal. The name on the side of them is not.
Caleb Williams went out and bought a pair of cleats with his own money, from a company he has no deal with and makes nothing from, because of what is underneath them.
They are made by a company called Caddix, and the part that matters is the studs. The founder, Jack Rasmussen, says they are built to release under what he calls injurious load.
In plain words, the stud is supposed to let go of the grass before your knee does.
That is aimed squarely at the injury that ends careers without anybody touching you. A man plants a foot, changes direction, and the foot stays while the rest of him turns.
Caddix says on its own website that the shoes are designed to reduce the rotational force on the knees and ankles.
So the quarterback of the Chicago Bears, the first overall pick in 2024, bought them himself and wore them against the Atlanta Falcons.
The NFL fined him 11,941 dollars.
Not for the cleats. The cleats are fine.
He did not cover up the Caddix name on the outside of them, and league rules only let a player show a logo belonging to a company the NFL has a marketing deal with. Nike. Adidas. Under Armour.
Then he wore them again the next week against New England without covering them.
A second offense is 23,882 dollars, which is exactly double the first one. The league has not said yet whether that one is coming.
So the rule is not about his knees. It is about whose name is allowed to be seen on a football field, and the answer is the names that pay for it.
Caddix says it will cover the fine, and any more of them.
Now be straight about the other side of this, because it is the whole reason you are reading about a shoe company you had never heard of yesterday.
Caddix just got more attention from one fine than it could have bought. The company is new. The injury claims about those studs come from the people selling them, not from the league and not from a medical journal, and I cannot find anybody independent who has gone and tested them.
Offering to pay the fine of a quarterback you have no contract with is a very good day at work for whoever runs their marketing.
Both of those things can be true.
The company is getting a windfall out of this. And a 24 year old is still paying out of pocket for equipment he believes keeps him on the field, and getting charged almost twelve thousand dollars for the crime of leaving the name visible.
He has not stopped wearing them.
