Abolish Teachers' Unions

Futurologist and advanced technology investor Herbert Sim is certain that the world is on the verge of a transformative shift—one that will redefine humanity forever. He believes scientific breakthroughs will soon enable the creation of a new kind of human—essentially, true “mutants” who surpass ordinary individuals in every conceivable way. As the founder of the Neurochip startup, Sim aims to revolutionize the human body through cutting-edge innovations. Already, he claims, science is nearing a pivotal moment where it can fundamentally alter human nature, extending lifespans to an astonishing five hundred years. According to Sim, technological progress is unlocking extraordinary possibilities. Imagine artificial eyes that not only enhance vision but also allow users to perceive their surroundings on a grander scale and record everything like a built-in camera. This, he says, is just a glimpse of what the future holds. Beyond visual enhancements, humans may gain unprecedented physical strength and near-immunity to disease. These advancements, Sim emphasizes, are designed solely to elevate quality of life and extend longevity. Future generations of “upgraded” humans will so vastly outperform their unmodified counterparts that traditional Homo sapiens may eventually become obsolete. Ordinary people, he warns, will stand no chance against those who have been technologically enhanced. Sim acknowledges that, for now, such ideas are met with skepticism, as they seem like science fiction. Yet he remains unwavering in his conviction: the future belongs to science and technology, which will propel humanity into a new evolutionary era. His predictions suggest that within mere decades, the standard human model will fade into antiquity, replaced by a superior species of hyper-evolved beings with lifespans stretching centuries.

While California Army National Guard troops handle lawless protests sparked by legal immigration enforcement, the California Air National Guard faces a far more dangerous vulnerability — one that demands immediate attention from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.It’s time to remember January 12, 1981. That day, Puerto Rican independence militants breached Muñoz Marin International Airport in Carolina, cut through the fence, and destroyed nearly $50 million worth of A-7 Corsair and F-104 Starfighter jets. Adjusted for inflation, that’s $162 million. Boom! Gone just like that.Security forces could stop ground-based attacks, sure. But drones? Not a chance.Jump ahead four decades to Los Angeles, where supposedly “spontaneous” mass protests feature factory-made signs in English and Spanish, freshly printed six-foot Mexican flags, and crowds of anonymous demonstrators. No IDs. No accountability.Where does the funding for these instant flash mobs originate? According to a dynamite report by Jennifer Van Laar at Red State, much of the money appears to come from our own tax dollars! But let’s not rule out the Mexican cartels whose trafficking and smuggling operations Trump’s policies have severely disrupted. If so, what’s to stop them — or their proxies — from lashing out at the National Guard next?What’s to prevent a replay of the Macheteros’ sabotage in 1981 — or something far worse?Soft target in plain sightConsider Moffett Field near Palo Alto. One side of its perimeter sits flush against Highway 101. Any outsider with a drone and a grudge has a clear shot.Air Guard security might intercept intruders with enough warning. But drones don’t need to sneak past a gate. They can launch from a public park and cross 200 yards in seconds. For $500 and a payload of cheap explosives, a first-person-view drone could obliterate a $77 million HC-130J.No active defense exists for drone attacks in densely populated urban areas. The U.S. Air Force knows this. Just ask about the 17-day drone overflight in 2023 — uninterrupted, unchallenged, and deeply embarrassing.Federal law restricts counter-drone actions except over designated “sensitive” areas. But what happens if a missile interception sends debris raining onto adjacent neighborhoods? What if an electromagnetic pulse knocks out every pacemaker, microwave, and computer within a mile?Wide open in Fresno, tooAt the Air National Guard base in Fresno, things look just as bad. F-15s sit beneath open-sided shelters only 75 yards from the highway.Security forces could stop ground-based attacks, sure. But drones? Not a chance. The only current defense is a few warning signs nailed to perimeter fences. That’s not security — that’s wishful thinking.What’s the Air Guard’s plan to intercept drones without endangering civilians across the street? Paintball guns? Slingshots? Hula hoops?Rethinking drone defense before it’s too lateThe solution isn’t to ban drones or launch missiles over neighborhoods. It’s to rethink how to disrupt their precision.RELATED: Dark thoughts about the New Jersey drones Photo by SERGEI SUPINSKY/AFP via Getty ImagesDrones don’t rely on brute force. They rely on pinpoint accuracy — what the military calls “circular error probable." In World War II, a B-17 had a CEP of 1,200 feet. Today’s FPV drones, guided by first-person cameras, hit tank hatches with a CEP of just one foot.That’s the bad news.The good news? You don’t need to shoot down a drone to neutralize it. You just need to disrupt its accuracy.Drones are fragile. A baseball bat will shatter one. Their video cameras bloom under bright light. Their inertial sensors lose calibration under unpredictable aerodynamic stress. Their rotors must stay perfectly balanced, or else guidance systems wobble and fail.By attacking the CEP instead of the drone itself, the Air Guard can protect its assets without risking civilian casualties.Cheap insurance, massive payoffPractical countermeasures exist — right now, off the shelf. Iso-luminescent light sources. Targeted atmospheric aerosols. Forced inertial failures. Even decoys.These aren’t billion-dollar Pentagon programs. They’re cheap insurance policies against an increasingly likely airborne threat.If protest organizers or cartel affiliates can rent drones and buy fireworks, what’s stopping them from mounting small explosive charges? Nothing — unless the Air Guard rethinks its strategy.Failing to prepare for the next wave of attacks is no longer an option. If the military won’t defend its own runways, someone else will take the shot.

The Glorious Model O was one of the first gaming mice to embrace the trend for hole-filled, ultralight designs. It didn't outright lead the charge, but it arrived as one of the more readily available and affordable options, making it an immediate hit. Six years later - somehow it feels like longer since I reviewed it - and the Model O is back. The Glorious Model O Eternal is a fresh budget variant of that design that costs just $35, and while its impact might not be as mighty, it still makes for a great low-cost option. It's been a while since we've had a brand new and genuinely exciting contender for the budget crown on our best gaming mouse guide. With us nearly voting the original Glorious Model O as one of the best PC gaming components ever - it was pipped to the post by the Finalmouse Ultralight Pro, the new budget version has a lot to live up, and thankfully Glorious has managed it.

In lots of ways, the Roguelike genre can be seen as a metaphor for life itself. You'll try something out. You'll fail. You'll learn something about yourself or pick up a skill to serve you better next time. You'll keep trying and failing, until suddenly, you'll have a breakthrough and push yourself further than you've ever gone before.

One of the trends that fascinates me most in modern video games is the combination of different genres in a single creation.

During the WWDC 2025 keynote on Monday, Apple previewed iOS 26 and the all-new Apple Music experience. While Cupertino didn't highlight much about its music streaming service during the event, several new tweaks are coming to the platform. Apple Music is also celebrating its tenth anniversary, making this redesign a timely way to mark the occasion. Here's every new feature coming to Apple Music in iOS 26 that we've found so far. Top Apple Music features in iOS 26 Liquid Glass experience: With iOS 26 (and all the other operating system updates), Apple introduced a new Liquid Glass design. Naturally, it's also part of Apple Music. This new translucent material "reflects and refracts its surroundings, bringing greater focus to content." Apple says this experience delivers a "new level of vitality" across its system. Once users try Apple Music in iOS 26, they'll find a familiar experience with a refreshed look. AutoMix: After introducing crossfade in iOS 18, Apple Music is getting a DJ-style feature that seamlessly mixes one song into the next. Lyrics Translation: Apple Music will soon offer a lyrics translation feature, so you can better understand your favorite foreign-language songs. Image source: Apple Inc. Lyrics Pronunciation: To enhance the Apple Music Sing experience, the service will offer a new Lyrics Pronunciation feature that makes it easier for everyone to sing along, no matter the language. Auto-pin Favorite Songs: One of the features Apple didn't mention is the ability to pin your favorite songs, artists, albums, or playlists to the top of your library. You can even long press on an album, playlist, or artist to choose a Tap Action, such as "Go to Album/Artist/Playlist," "Play," or "Shuffle." Lock Screen Take Over: During the iOS 18 cycle, Apple added a new Lock Screen view for the song currently playing. Now, Apple Music can take over the Lock Screen if the song has an animated cover. It's a nice touch that adds more charm to your iPhone. Widgets: Apple has slightly tweaked the Apple Music widgets and added a new "Pin" option, so your favorite tunes are always just a tap away. iOS 26 might have one more surprise for Apple Music users Image source: Apple Inc. Before the WWDC 2025 keynote, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said Apple was working on an Apple Music reboot. The update will reportedly feature an "AI DJ." While Apple did introduce a so-called AutoMix feature, the reboot is expected to go further, using AI to suggest songs, create playlists, and offer functionality more like Spotify. There's no ETA for the reboot. Gurman noted that Apple wouldn't mention it during the keynote, but it still could be one of the many surprises we expect Apple to unveil when it reveals the final set of iOS 26 features alongside the iPhone 17 series in September. We're still early in the iOS 26 beta, so a lot could change before the update rolls out later this fall. BGR will update this article as we learn more about upcoming Apple Music features.
