The World’s Largest Floating Dry Dock Was Towed Across the Atlantic to Bermuda in 1869 -

When Britain needed a solution for ship repairs in the Atlantic, engineers in the 1860s built the largest floating dry dock ever attempted, a 380-foot iron structure weighing over 8,000 tons.

Constructed near Woolwich on the Thames, the dock was designed to lift 10,000-ton ironclads like HMS Warrior and withstand the fouling threats of Bermuda’s warm waters.

Unable to build a conventional dry dock due to porous sandstone, the British opted for mobility and scale, creating a self-contained U-shaped platform that could sink and raise vessels from the sea with ballast compartments and powerful pumps.

In June 1869, this massive dock embarked on a nearly 4,000-nautical-mile journey to Bermuda, towed in stages by Britain’s heaviest ironclads—Agincourt, Northumberland, Warrior, and Black Prince—assisted by HMS Terrible.

With closed ends to reduce drag and a sail rigged inside to capture tailwinds, the voyage reached speeds of over 6 knots.

Once in service, it supported Royal Navy operations for over thirty years before being replaced in 1906.

Looks really interesting. #Misogyny/GBV the underlying common trait of perpetrators of actual terrorism.

Glorification of assertive, dominant males is the 💯 opposite of the sexual selection processes that made us #Homosapiens. That was not how we got here today.

'As a researcher looking at digital extremism and gender-based violence, I’ve analyzed more than 100 manifestos written by people who carried out mass shootings, stabbings, vehicular attacks and other acts of ideologically, politically and religiously motivated violent extremism in Canada, the United States and beyond.

These attackers may not belong to formal terrorist organizations, but their writings reveal consistent ideological patterns. Among them, one stands out: misogyny.'

I analyzed more than 100 extremist manifestos: Misogyny was the common thread

Gender identity–driven violence is the most common ideological theme across ‘lone-actor’ extremist manifestos in a recent study.

Tessa Hulls's debut graphic novel is *Feeding Ghosts*, a stunning memoir that tells the story of three generations of her Chinese family. It was a decade in the making, and it is utterly, unmissably brilliant:

After Losing Their Minds for Months Over ‘Project 2025’ Democrats Are Now Crafting Their Own ‘Project 2029’

After Losing Their Minds for Months Over 'Project 2025' Democrats Are Now Crafting Their Own 'Project 2029' | The Gateway Pundit | by Mike LaChance

           A year ago, when the 2024 presidential election was getting into full swing, Democrats and the media were freaking out about Project 2025, a conservative agenda that had been put together by think tanks on the right.

Apparently, the proposed new law prohibits claiming that an image or video is not a fake when it really is. That should already be covered by laws against fraud. It's hard to see how copyright is relevant at all. I think maybe the Guardian and Hackaday both misunderstand what copyright is.

Copyright is not a prohibition against claiming that a photograph is of something it's not. It is also not a prohibition against claiming that something that is not a photograph is a photograph. It is not even presenting someone else's work as your own. That's plagiarism.

Copyright is making copies of works without the permission of the copyright holder.

If you own copyright to your face, that means that no one else can make faces identical to yours.

Copyright to a photograph of someone is owned by the photographer.

So, once again, my guess is that the Danish law either requires that you identify images that are not photographs as not photographs, or that you have to get a person's permission to photograph a person before photographing. I think the former is more likely.

In both the Guardian and Hackaday article, using the word "copyright" hopelessly muddies the issue.

Bad journalism!

📑 Israel’s methods of forced displacement include widespread bombing, bulldozing, deliberate starvation, destruction of civilian infrastructure, and expulsion through firepower and evacuation orders.

These practices have driven residents into an area comprising less than 15 per cent of the enclave, in apparent preparation for mass displacement beyond it.

The desperation of the West has reached its zenith.

So after September 2022 Macron spoke on the phone with Putin.
According to a statement from #Elise, the #French clown called for a ceasefire in #Ukraine and the start of negotiations to end the conflict.
Also Macron asked #Iran to comply with its obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and in particular to cooperate fully with the International Atomic Energy Agency, #IAEA"

Repeated defeats that they cannot manage.

Nobody wants to talk about GROWTH, which will be the primary reason that the Big, Beautiful Bill will be one of the most successful pieces of legislation ever passed. THIS GROWTH has already begun at levels never seen before. Trillions of Dollars are now being invested into the USA, more than ever before. Likewise, hundreds of Billions of Dollars in Tariffs are filling up the coffers of Treasury. The Tariff money has already arrived and is setting new records! We are growing our way out of the Sleepy Joe Biden MESS that he and the Democrats left us, and it is happening much faster than anyone thought possible. Our Country will make a fortune this year, more than any of our competitors, but only if the Big, Beautiful Bill is PASSED! As they say, Trump’s been right about everything, and this is the easiest of them all to predict. Republicans, don’t let the Radical Left Democrats push you around. We’ve got all the cards, and we are going to use them. Last year America was a “DEAD” Nation, with no hope for the future, and now it’s the “HOTTEST NATION IN THE WORLD!” MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
