William Teach at Pirate's Cove is up first with Scientists Find 7,000 Year Old Wall In Mediterranean, Take Exactly Wrong Message

If we look at the average of 6-8 inches of sea rise per century over the last 8,000 years we’re looking at 35-46 feet of sea rise. And the rising seas from the great pulsewater melt started filling the Med. Of course, here we go.

Doug Ross - Top 20 Media Attacks on Nick Shirley to Shield Democrat Fraud

Mainstream media, legacy media, elite media — whatever you choose to call the Democrat activists LARPing as journalists — didn’t read the room.

Miguel Gonzalez - Le Constellation Bar Fire

What is starting to catch fire in the ceiling, very probable initiated by the sparklers attached to the champagne bottles is supposed to be sound-absorbing acoustic paneling. I suspect that somebody went cheap and used convoluted foam box liners instead to save a Swiss franc or two.

Professor Yamane at Light Over Heat - Illuminations #3. Farewell to 2025, Welcome 2026

My overriding goal for 2026 is to make progress on my book, Gun Culture 2.0: The Evolution and Contours of Defensive Gun Ownership in America. I’ve written a lot about the topic over the years, so I’m hopeful the book will come together smoothly.

Granite Grok - SHURTLEFF: I Want to Get into the “Not Having Any Children” at My Daycare Business

Again from William Teach at Pirate's Cove - UN Head Unhappy Skeptics Are Allowed To Speak (Don't speak against the Climate Religion's Tenents!)

This is the same guy who took a long, fossil fueled trip to Nepal to take a publicity photo. And Antarctica. The same guy who oversees 40,000+ heading to UN IPCC COP conferences in far off places, this year being in Brazil, where they razed a section of the Amazon to build a road.

The Silicon Graybeard - SpaceX begins “significant reconfiguration” of Starlink constellation

SpaceX's Starlink constellation of satellites is an amazing example of taking advantage of what lots of access to Earth orbit can do for humanity.

Meep at STUMP - The New Year in MEEP! Let's Get This 2026 Party Started!

I was two years old in 1976, so I don’t remember the bicentennial festivities of that year. I have a picture of me as a toddler with some 1976 bicentennial-themed tshirt on, and that’s all I got. Seriously, a picture of a t-shirt.

Wombat-socho - FMJRA 2.0: On An Even Keel

Well, it could have been worse – we could have spent another week in the ruts.
