Ex-Butcher Babies vocalist Carla Harvey has released “Sick Ones,” the lead single from her new project The Violent Hour.  The track, co-written by Harvey and her fiancé, Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante, features Mötley Crüe guitarist John 5. “‘Sick Ones’ is a Rock ‘n’ Roll anthem about cutting the toxic people out of your life,” said Harvey. “It was written at a vulnerable time in my life when I was forced to end relationships I thought would last forever.” “The riff is very catchy and stays with you like a good riff should,” offered Benante. ‘Sick Ones’ is just the tip of the iceberg for this project. “Many of the songs we crafted for The Violent Hour are unlike anything Carla has ever done as a vocalist, reflecting different moods and a new beginning,” added Benante. ### The post Carla Harvey Issues “Sick Ones” appeared first on RockinTown.

Turley: What In the World Is a 'Writ of Facilitation'?

A new study has examined 8 million speeches from 140 years of Congress, showing a massive decline in evidence-based language since the 1970s.

“I tell my mum, in jest, that I named the fossil Sue after her because she is a well-preserved specimen.”

Credit: WikipediaIt is conceivable that the Earth-mass planet Proxima b, which lies in the habitable zone of the nearest star to the Sun, Proxima Centauri, hosts a civilization similar to ours. Owing to minor differences between their and our history, it is possible that they had reached our current technological state slightly in advance. Consider a tiny margin of head start for Proxima b science, of order 0.00002 of the age of the Earth. This amounts to 100,000 years, meaning that Proxima’s astronomers had used telescopes to discover Earth a hundred millennia ago, in the way that we discovered Proxima b on August 24, 2016. How would that discovery be reflected in their space age? Driven by long-term curiosity, the rocket builders of the most advanced space agency on Proxima b could have chosen the habitable planet Earth as an exciting destination for their chemical rockets. This would be an admirable vision that NASA did not reciprocate as of yet. But Proxima b residents might have realized that science is better than politics and hence chose to invest more in space exploration than in military budgets. In that case they can serve as better role models than our politicians. At a speed of 30 kilometers per second, or 0.0001 of the speed of light c, the chemical rockets launched from Proxima b a hundred millennia ago could have reached us by now. Around the time of the launch, humans on Earth left Africa based on an early-modern human fossil found in a cave in Israel. Taking into account the fact that Proxima Centauri is moving at a speed of tens of kilometers per second relative to the Sun and was farther away in the past, the trip could have taken of order 100,000 years, implying that these chemical rockets could have arrived at Earth around the present time. But are these chemical rockets the first spacecraft to arrive at our backyard from Proxima b? Probably not. In the centuries that elapsed after the first attempt to launch chemical rockets towards Earth, the Proxima b scientists could have developed more advanced propulsion technologies. Suppose it took them a millennium after the invention of chemical rockets to develop hydrogen fuel propulsion which brings their spacecraft to a speed that is ten times faster, 0.001c. If the later generation of Proxima b scientists maintained the ambition to reach Earth, the second wave of spacecraft launched towards Earth would have completed the trip in just 10,000 years and could have arrived 89,000 years at Earth earlier than the first wave of chemical rockets. A millennium later, when nuclear propulsion technologies might enable a travel speed 0.01c or 3,000 kilometers per second, the trip to Earth would have taken only 1,000 years. This wave of nuclear spacecraft could have reached the Earth 97,000 before the first chemical rockets. Finally, if after another millennium the Proxima b scientists end up developing light-sails pushed by powerful laser beams to 0.1c, in the spirit of the Breakthrough Starshot Project which I led over the past decade, these light-sails would have reached the Earth within a century, suggesting that they could have been here 96,900 years before the first chemical rockets from Proxima b. In summary, assuming an improvement by a factor of 10 in spacecraft speed per millennium of research and development (R&D) on Proxima b, nuclear spacecraft would have reached Earth first, about 97,000 years ago, followed by light-sails merely a century later, followed by hydrogen-propelled spacecraft 8,000 years later, and chemical rockets arriving around the present time. In that scenario, hydrogen-propelled spacecraft would have reached us a few millennia before the Great Pyramids were constructed in Giza, Egypt. The more advanced spacecraft would have arrived as humans were migrating out of Africa. By examining the equipment arriving at Earth as a function of time, terrestrial archaeologists can infer its speed and decipher the history of propulsion technologies on Proxima b based on the time it took for it to arrive at Earth from the same planet of origin. This analysis would constitute a new field of research: archaeology of interstellar propulsion. This thought experiment implies that we should expect advanced technologies to visit us before we detect any chemical rockets arriving at our backyard. As I showed in a recent paper with my student Shokhruz Kakharov, even the slowest chemical rockets take about a few billion years to reach us from the opposite side of the Milky-Way galaxy. Since most stars formed billions of years before the Sun, most Galactic spacecraft could have made the trip to Earth by now. Documented human history is only 8 millennia long, but it is possible that archaeologists or geologists will find traces of propulsion technologies far more advanced than we developed so far. Is it also possible that such a visit triggered human intelligence? In that case, biologists should find a related anomaly in human DNA. A new study reported that Proxima Centauri flares frequently, with flares carrying the energy output of the Hiroshima atomic bomb every few minutes. The stability of the Sun might appear more attractive to a technological civilization on Proxima b. Their recognition of Earth as a favorite destination would have triggered mass migration of aliens towards Earth, an interstellar exodus of far bigger proportions than that of the Israelites from Egypt to the Promised Land, celebrated this week in the Jewish holiday of Passover. The arrival times of the waves of Proxima b migrants would depend on the timing of their departure, reflected in the propulsion technologies they use. If the shortening of the travel time exceeds the delay in departure time, the generation of migrants arriving first might include the descendants of those who had the patience to depart last from Proxima b. The descendants of the impatient migrants who used chemical propulsion will find the Promised Land of Earth to be inhabited not only by humans but also by later generations of aliens from Proxima b. Earth would appear to them like a time machine, reversing the technological history of their home planet.

POLL: What was the worst media take of the week? (Vote below)     NOMINEES:    1. Trump Voters Threw the “Republic Into the Trash” “The choice that they’ve [Trump voters] made — we have to just be honest — is to literally throw the republic into the trash bin….We chose a felon who is more interested in loyalty, who’s more interested in retribution, who’s more interested in grift than in democracy. And we chose a felon because we didn’t want to elect a black woman….We would rather destroy the republic than for that to have happened.” — MSNBC contributor/Princeton University professor Eddie Glaude on MSNBC’s Deadline: White House, April 7.   2.

Elie Mystal: U.S. Constitution Is a “Piece of Crap” “When South Africa got over apartheid, did they just go back to their Afrikaner racist constitution…No! They threw the whole thing out and started again….and they came up with a new constitution. It’s one of the reasons why the South African constitution is generally thought of as one of the best constitutions in the world and ours continues to be a piece of crap.”— The Nation justice correspondent Elie Mystal on the syndicated radio show The Breakfast Club, April 3.   Loading…   Funded by James P.

Comedy Central’s The Daily Show held a satirical debate on its Friday show between host Desi Lydic and pretend White House correspondent Troy Iwata. While Lydic took the position that President Trump’s recent executive order on showerhead pressure was dumb and a waste of time, Iwata took the position that it was a welcome distraction from all the “bigger, real things.” Ultimately, the two came together to compare Trump to Adolf Hitler. Lydic simply wondered, “Okay, but who does this help?” Iwata replied, “The real question is, who does this hurt? And the answer is no one, okay. They're going to do bad things anyway, Desi! But if I’m going to spend five hours a day stress pooping on the toilet, at least they can give us an executive order like the one this afternoon that says, "'No more itchy tags on clothes. It's too, too, too, too itchy. Have a great summer, Donald Trump.'"     Again, Lydic questioned, “Okay, I do agree with that. Tags are itchy. But shouldn't he be focusing on bigger, real things?” Getting the Hitler comparisons started, Iwata answered, “He's bad at bigger, real things! Ninety-five of these executive orders are about punishing people who just disagree with him, so I'm fine with Side Quest Trump, okay. What, would you go up to Hitler and be like, ‘Why are you painting? You've got work to do!’" A dismayed Lydic followed up, “Is it too much to ask for a president who is not Hitler?” “Yes, apparently it is! So just focus on the wins. Yes, he's putting Dora the Explorer on a flight to El Salvador, okay. But he's declared that ‘Anyone on the flight who asks for a soda has to get a whole can. XOXO, Donny,’” Iwata answered. If Dora violated the law and entered the country illegally, then how exactly is that like Hitler? Meanwhile, The Daily Show will pretend that deporting pro-Hamas students, who are much better Hitler analogues, is threat to free speech. Here is a transcript for the April 10 show: Comedy Central The Daily Show 4/10/2025 11:09 PM ET DESI LYDIC: Okay, but who does this help?
