Miller laughed. "You think somebody built those towers and structures and then just left? This whole planet is a murder scene. An empty apartment with warm food on the table and all the clothes still in the closets. This is some Croatoan shit."
"The North American colonists who - "
"Except," Miller said, ignoring him. "The people who vanished here? Not dumbass Europeans in way over their heads. The things that lived here modified planets like we remodel a kitchen. They had a defense network in orbit that could have vaporized Ceres if it wandered too close."
"Wait, what defense network?"
Miller ignored him. "An empty apartment, a missing family, that's creepy. But this is like finding a military base with no one in it. Fighters and tanks idling on the runway with no drivers. This is bad juju. Something *wrong* happened here. What you should do is tell everyone to leave."
"Yeah," Holden said, "sure, I'll get right on that. This argument about who gets to live here really needed a third party both sides could hate."
"No one lives here," Miller said, "but we're sure as shit going to play with the corpses."
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?"
Miller tipped his hat back, looking up at the stars.

Putin quotes Jesus to justify invasion of Ukraine

During a pro-war rally in Moscow on Friday night, Russian President Vladimir Putin invoked the words of Jesus Christ in order to justify his invasion of Ukraine.
Moscow police said more than 200,000 people attended the rally, Al Jazeera reported. Polling shows that a majority of Russians support the war in Ukraine, which has already left numerous Ukrainian civilians displaced, injured, and dead.
Speaking to the crowd in a turtleneck and down winter coat, Putin said he ordered the invasion "to get people out of their misery, out of this genocide, that is the main reason, the motive and purpose of the military operation that we began in Donbas and Ukraine," according to The Washington Post. Russia has repeatedly accused the Ukrainian government of committing genocide in separatist-controlled areas of eastern Ukraine.

"And this is where the words from the Scriptures come to my mind: 'There is no greater love than if someone gives his soul for his friends,'" Putin continued, paraphrasing John 15:13.
Both the Post and ABC News translate the Russian word ะดััั (dushu) as "soul," but most English translations of the passage use "life." The verse is part of a long discourse Jesus delivered to his disciples as they traveled to the Garden of Gethsemane, where he was arrested and taken to be crucified after ordering Simon Peter not to use force to defend him.
Putin identifies as a Russian Orthodox Christian but has expressed discomfort with speaking publicly about his faith. [ superstition ]

JC Bose patents radio wave detector, September 30, 1901
SEPTEMBER 30, 2019
BY JESSICA MACNEIL
James Clerk Maxwell’s equations predicted the existence of electromagnetic waves of diverse wavelengths in the 1860s, and in 1888 Oliver Lodge and Heinrich Hertz verified it, along wires and in free space. After reading about their experiments, Jagadis Chandra (JC) Bose, a professor of physics at Presidency College in Calcutta, India, reduced the waves to about 5mm to study them.
He developed the use of galena (lead sulfide) crystals contacted by a metal point for detecting millimeter electromagnetic waves, and filed patent 755840, for a “Detector for electrical disturbances” in 1901. It was the first device to use a semiconductor junction to detect radio waves.
Bose created a portable device to study the optical properties of short waves, which incorporated the earliest waveguide and horn antenna. It would be more than 30 years before more research and analysis was done with the now widely-used horn antennas. His use of dielectric lenses, polarizers, prisms, and semiconductors at frequencies as high as 60 GHz, were also well ahead of his time.

So far, not so bad
Mindless entertainment, no real artistic value, but is more entertaining than anything else I can think of, might watch more in following weeks, if I'm awake.

Subject: Fw: Sleep journal 5/13/06
I wasn't writing very much as this point about my new thoughts, although I did start writing a lot in my journal about it around this time. I think back and I was primarily puzzling over my memories of the places I "remembered" that I used to live. I think it was actually Wexford Drive that got me thinking that my memories were completely false. I started searching on the internet for something about Wexford and I found something right away and even before I began reading about John Barry, I knew that the detail about Wexford was going to have some profound meaning to me. I also think there is some part of my true identity that is very bored and has been locked into a room with only a small window to try to yell through. The people who locked me in there are at least now standing outside the door and listening to me as best they can but I don't understand why they won't let me out.

More work. Timely.
