    Some 5,000 National Guardsmen will stay in Washington to protect the Capitol into March, according to the Pentagon. The Guard is seen as a reliable peacekeeping force – but it wasn't always that way.

    Fairfax seeks to dismiss 400 convictions in cases brought by one officer
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2021/04/16/convictions-dismiss-jonathan-freitag-fairfax
    Jonathan Freitag resigned while under internal Fairfax police investigation in May 2020, then joined the Brevard County Sheriff's Office three months later. He was fired earlier this month. Fairfax County prosecutors are moving to throw out more than 400 criminal convictions based on the testimony or work of a former patrol officer who is accused of stealing drugs from the police property room, planting drugs on innocent people and stopping motorists without legal basis, court filings show. In a hearing Friday, a Fairfax judge said he was inclined to vacate felony drug and gun convictions against a former D.C. firefighter and order him released from prison next week after serving nearly two years because of the actions of former officer Jonathan A. Freitag. Fairfax police said they began investigating Freitag after receiving a tip about him in July 2019. The police department took him off the streets. Freitag, now 25, resigned in May 2020 after the FBI had joined Fairfax County in a criminal investigation of him. But even after The Washington Post first reported the allegations against Freitag in June 2020, he was hired by the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office in Florida in August 2020. The Fairfax human relations department reported to Brevard that the former officer had never been “subject to disciplinary action” and “there are no disciplinary records in his file.”

    R.I.P. Felix Silla, The Addams Family's Cousin Itt
    https://tv.avclub.com/r-i-p-felix-silla-the-addams-familys-cousin-itt-1846705389
    From there, Silla became one of Hollywood’s go-to costumed performers, elevated by his physical talents as a performer, his well-known sense of humor, and his willingness to spend hours on any given day in heavy or uncomfortable accoutrements. Over the next 20 years, he’d become a regular for Sid and Marty Kroft (appearing frequently on both H.R. Pufnstuf and Lidsville), take on the physical role of the robot Twiki on Buck Rogers, and serve as the alien who inexplicably serves as a plot point in Meatballs Part II. Through his stuntwork, he also continued to make connections and friends who would serve him well in his career, most notably George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, who used him as a stunt performer in E.T. and Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom, and who made use of his numerous talents as the hang-gliding Ewok in Return Of The Jedi. (And when Mel Brooks wanted to poke fun at Lucas’ opus with Spaceballs a few laters, Silla got the call for that, too.)

    Space Intriguing Warp Drive Research Dashes Faster Than Light Travel Dreams – But Reveals Stranger Possibilities
    https://scitechdaily.com/intriguing-warp-drive-research-dashes-faster-than-light-travel-dreams-but-reveals-stranger-possibilities/amp/
    In 1994, physicist Miguel Alcubierre proposed a radical technology that would allow faster than light travel: the warp drive, a hypothetical way to skirt around the universe’s ultimate speed limit by bending the fabric of reality. It was an intriguing idea – even NASA has been researching it at the Eagleworks laboratory – but Alcubierre’s proposal contained problems that seemed insurmountable. Now, a recent paper by US-based physicists Alexey Bobrick and Gianni Martire has resolved many of those issues and generated a lot of buzz. But while Bobrick and Martire have managed to substantially demystify warp technology, their work actually suggests that faster-than-light travel will remain out of reach for beings like us, at least for the time being. There is, however, a silver lining: warp technology may have radical applications beyond space travel.

    The War Nerd: Taiwan — The Thucydides Trapper Who Cried Woof | naked capitalism

    It’s a full-time job, keeping track of the US/NATO campaign to start a fire somewhere on China’s borders. It’s like tracking an inept arsonist by satellite image: “Oh, there he goes again…the idiot started a trash fire next to a concrete wall.” Of course, no one who matters in the defense business wants total war with China. They just want to keep those trash fires burning, hoping one of them will blaze up big, like a gender-reveal wildfire. And even if none of them do, it’s good for business, because most war scares are about funding. The US Navy always, always wants more ships. What’s scarce is plausible reasons to buy them.

    Ruan said the paint was not a risk to people’s eyesight: “Our surface reflects the sunlight diffusely, so the power going in any particular direction is not very strong. It just looks bright white, a bit whiter than snow.”
