Today, Vandenberg Spaceforce Base is best known for the booming SpaceX launches that send satellites into orbit.
But once upon a time, it was a hotbed for UFO sightings, quietly logged by the military.
This year, those sightings resurfaced.
Details of extraterrestrial encounters on the Central Coast were discussed in government hearings and explored in the newly released documentary
"The Age of Disclosure" (2025).
The film features government inside…

A BlueSky message from Joseph Menn that reads: Most of the Washington Post’s tech reporters were laid off today, including me. I have loved my time at the paper, which is where I wanted to work from age 15. I take some consolation in not being among the survivors who will have to work harder with less for fewer readers.

I’m not on board with this.
Instead of an “are you over 18” question for a feature I don’t want, let me skip it and keep the feature off.
Also, didn’t Vispero get my contact details in order to take my money?
“Vispero Accounts: An Explanation, an Apology, and a Path Forward”
vispero.com…

Q: Why do you need my age?
A: Some AI features legally require users to be over a certain age. A simple confirmation (“Are you over 18?”) will replace collecting birth dates.
Q: What information is actually required to create an account?
A: Starting soon, only two things will be required:
1. Basic contact information (name and email),
2. A simple age confirmation.
All other fields will become optional.

A tranquil forest trail winds its way through a lush, green woodland, inviting hikers to explore its natural beauty. The path, a mix of gravel and dirt, meanders gently uphill, bordered by tall pine trees that create a serene canopy overhead. The trunks of the trees are robust and textured, adding a sense of age and stability to the scene.

The forest floor is dotted with patches of vibrant green moss and small plants, adding a touch of life and color to the otherwise earthy tones of the trail.…

Shadow Ticket by Thomas Pynchon

For all of Donald Trump’s promises of an economic “golden age,”
a spate of weak indicators this week told a worrisome story as the impacts of his policies are coming into focus.
Job gains are dwindling.
Inflation is ticking upward.
Growth has slowed compared with last year.
More than six months into his term, Trump’s blitz of tariff hikes and his new tax and spending bill have remodeled America’s trading, manufacturing, energy and tax systems to his own liking.
