Tom DeLonge, formerly of pop-punk band Blink-182, has written a novel with the help of a professor of Shakespeare, as well as "sources within the aerospace industry and the Department of Defense and NASA" (a statement apparently specifically approved by those sources).
The premise of Sekret Machines Book 1: Chasing Shadows is that the government has built alien reproduction vehicles from acquired alien technology. Curiously, this closely matches the story given in the recent revival of The X-Files.

Neil deGrasse Tyson Fucking Loves Science
‘Science’ here has very little to do with the scientific method itself;
it means ontological physicalism, not believing in our Lord Jesus
Christ, hating the spectrally stupid, and, more than anything, pretty
pictures of nebulae and tree frogs.

Muslims Prize Canadian Freedoms
Canadian Muslims are more proud of being Canadian than non-Muslim Canadians--but young Muslims are more attached to their religious identity than their parents, more likely to value Canada for its multiculturalism and diversity rather than its freedom and democracy, more likely to be pessimistic about discrimination, and more likely to say their faith is more important to them than their nationality.
More female Muslims are wearing the niqab than ten years ago, with the largest growth among young people who have been to university. In general, Muslims with less education are more likely to wear the niqab, but not in Canada.
Almost twice as many Muslims as non-Muslims think that the father should be the master of the house, and less than half as many think homosexuality should be accepted by society. 89% of Muslims report being satisfied with the direction Canada is going, compared with 56% of non-Muslims.
"Muslim Canadians," itself a discrimination, say they have experienced discrimination more than that reported by the "general population," an apparently undifferentiated mass. How it could be logically otherwise is unclear.

"All people is going."
Migrants are blocking trucks from leaving Greece for the rest of Europe, because the migrants have been denied that privilege. Visiting anarchists keep the migrants fed.
Space-Awe For Health
The replicability of the overview effect, whereby seeing the Earth from space induces a life-changing sense of wonder, could lead to virtual reality awe machines. Alternatively, this may just tell us that those who go to the heavens come back lighter.

Parsing Partisan Psychology
Political discussion among like-minded people polarises political opinion and retroactively alters biases. Political psychology is so pernicious as to invisibly intensify upon exposure to consensus!

Super-Whitey Is The Wizard Behind The Curtain
A professional education consultant speaking at the 17th annual White Privilege Conference in Philadelphia has suggested that teachers must be activists too, working to overcome the racial supremacist narrative of disciplined hard work leading to individual success.
The white imperial gaze must be deconstructed by transgressing against the normative hetero-patriarchal conceptions of goal orientation and proper English. The hierarchical power structure of grading emphasizes traits chosen to favor whites! Students should be assessed not for their individual merits, but rather taught as a class.
Classroom learning and class consciousness must be intimately intertwined, like the hammer and sickle of our mighty banner.

Trust in the Media

Dehumanising Ads Are The Problem
The German Justice Minister has announced a proposal to demand that women and men in advertisements cover up their sinful bodies, to attempt to create a "modern gender image" that will be less likely to inspire new Germans to commit sexual assault.

Sticks and Stones and Words
The Halifax Regional School Board continues to deny and obfuscate complications surrounding the integration of refugee children, while feminists and anti-bullying advocates continue their silence. Parents want support, leftists call them racist--while the school hears, sees, and speaks no evil.

New research suggests that Homo sapiens wiped out the Neanderthals not by brutal warfare and genocide, but by carrying tropical diseases into Ice Age homes.

Homan Square Not On The Level
Chicago's secret interrogation center was so secret that other Chicago police officers knew of less than 4% of the arrests held there.
Muslims Prize British Freedoms
"Oddly, the biggest obstacles we now face in addressing the growth of
this nation-within-a-nation are not created by British Muslims
themselves. Many of our (distinctly un-diverse) elite political and
media classes simply refuse to acknowledge the truth."

"First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin"
Berlin has been "lost" to a criminal underworld of about eight Arab families, who came in the late 1970s, and who have exploited the migrant crisis to swell their ranks.

Student Suspensions Down, Teacher Hospitalisations Up
Since the only conceivable explanation for racial disparities in school discipline is systemic racism in the black hearts of white people, an edict has been issued by the Obama regime: any school found to have a disproportionate number of students of colour suspended or expelled will face lawsuits and funding cuts.
It doesn't matter if the black kids break the rules more often, because they're also more likely to go to jail, and "disparate impact" theory dictates that disciplining disadvantaged children puts them in the school-to-prison pipeline--therefore not punishing them in school now will keep them out of prison later!
Two students gave a business teacher a head wound that required staples, and another choked a science teacher into a coma. The students were black and the teachers were white, but that teacher bleeding out on the floor has privilege, so it isn't a racist hate crime, just rambunctious children expressing themselves.
In a survey of 830 teachers in Syracuse, one-third say they've been assaulted in the classroom, two-thirds say they fear for their safety, and almost half say they're seriously considering quitting because their schools are not committed to protecting them.
In Colorado, a teacher was fired for calling the police after her thirteen-year-old student promised to kill her. He had previously punched her in the ribs and broke her thumb, but no matter.
In Minnesota, a teacher complained on Facebook about permissive policies "enabling student misconduct" in the form of a series of assaults against teachers. Black Lives Matter threatened to shut down the school for this, calling the teacher "a white supremacist." Two days after meeting with the communist agitators, the school superintendent put the ten-year veteran teacher on administrative leave.
Barack Obama continues to work for racial justice and equality, while 2015 was the most violent year ever in the New York City public school system.

Problems are Problematic
Halifax's Chronicle Herald is apologising profusely for reporting that a refugee boy choked a little girl with a chain while yelling, "Muslims rule the world." The prostrate newspaper admits that using the word "brutality" in association with a definable cultural group is "problematic"--at least to a totalitarian ideology that depends on the endemic equivocation between unfair discrimination and the sort of discrimination necessary for logical discernment.

Interior Minister Requested Word "Rape" Be "Cancelled" In Police Reports
Officials in Germany invited mass immigration from dysfunctional regions without consulting the populace, refused a request from the chief of police for more officers in anticipation of New Year's in Cologne, then actively worked to cover up the migrant riot that resulted. Only the social media that Angela Merkel has been working to censor revealed the story, almost a week after the police reported it was an uneventful night.

Everything's Fine
The chief of the Norwegian Army has said that Europe must be prepared to fight to defend its values. The chief of the Swedish Army has ordered his troops to prepare for war in Europe within a few years. The chief of the Swiss Army has told citizens to arm themselves. Now a Swiss member of parliament has compared it to the situation before the Great War. But it's fine. Everything's fine.
Problems of Racial Segregation
All peoples tend to prefer to live amongst their own kind, but it's the responsibility of white people to move to diverse neighbourhoods, for the sake of integration, peace, justice, and all that is good.

Terrorism in Miniatures
First they came for the video games, and I did not speak out--for I did not play video games. Then they came for the movies, and I did not speak out--for I did not watch movies. Then they came for the tabletop board games--and there was no one left to speak for me.

Prisoners Get More Fresh Air Than Children
It's vitally important for the physical and mental health of prison inmates to get time outdoors. For this reason there is no question about enforcing their right to see the sun. It is therefore disturbing to consider that the average child, already imprisoned in school for much of the time, has less time outside on the average day than the average prisoner.

Eisenhower Eats
Ike's great-granddaughter recommends a diet not far removed from Cathar or Vedic practice to facilitate contact with sky beings.
This could prompt us to reflect deeply on the mysterious resonances between religious revelations spanning the centuries, or perhaps to enjoy an amusing piece of fluffy journalism with a condescending smirk on our smug faces.
