After the Easter long weekend, Monday drops on us like a dog parking its breakfast on the lawn of our heads. Of course, if you happen to live in PommieBastardLande, where Easter Monday is a holiday – or if you work in the equity markets in the FUSA – then you have an extra helping of the weekend.
If you are in the former camp – the Great Mondaydact Browser Killer is here to make the day more bearable. If the latter, then this is simply a fun distraction with guns and girls and a whole hell of a lot of shitposting.
Either way – there is something for everyone. Rather like an Easter egg hunt, if you think about it. Which brings to mind an important question:
Where exactly did the concept of an Easter egg hunt actually come from?
You are inevitably going to run into a whole lot of nonsense about how Easter has its origins in “pagan” practices of death and spiritual rebirth, and so on and so forth and a whole bunch of guff of that kind. it is simply not true – indeed, most of the supposedly “preceding” pagan traditions, turn out, upon closer examination, to come WELL AFTER the spread of Christianity.
Don’t take my word for it, though – I am not a Biblical scholar. Fortunately, we DO have several such scholars handy to tell us the truth about these things:
The Mighty God-Emperor
His Most Illustrious, Noble, August, Benevolent, and Legendary Celestial Majesty, the God-Emperor of Mankind, Donaldus Triumphus Magnus Astra, the First of His Name, the Lion of Midnight, may the Lord bless him and preserve him, appears to have had a sudden and long-overdue attack of Common Sense with respect to the 404 War:
It is bloody well past time for the God-Emperor to take a pragmatic view of that whole mishegoss. I said, right after he won his THIRD election victory in November, that there was absolutely no way he would ever get the war sorted in the course of 24 hours with a phone call.
And I was right.
Note, this is not because I am particularly brilliant or clever – indeed, the weight of the evidence suggests the diametric opposite. Nor are my predictions particularly good – I have been predicting the end of the Banderastan War via a massive Russian offensive for two of the last three years, and have been wrong every single time.
I simply have sense enough to understand what the root causes of the war actually were, and therefore know full well they cannot be resolved by an outsider in the space of a phone call.
Indeed, I know quite well that the American elite class is totally incapable of actually understanding the root causes of the war, which means it is unable to decipher a way out of the morass it created for itself. The ONLY good way for the FUSA to get out of this war, is to acknowledge it was DEFEATED by Russia (even if only tacitly), and abandon Ukraine to its fate.

We shall change things up a little this week, by focusing on “black fatigue”. If you do not know what that is – Urban Dictionary defines it rather well for us. This comes from a couple of recent chimp-outs, committed by two separate Dindus, which inevitably resulted in a lot of hand-wringing and appeals to the ghost of MLK Jr.
Turns out, though, the Dindus in question were absolutely 100% guilty.
Mark Dice talks about these cases:
Joker from Better Bachelor takes on the same problem:
PJW is unamused by it, too:
Nowadays, Dindus keep talking about how they do not want to associate with Wypipo any more. I think this is entirely the right thing to do.
By all means, let Wakandans peaceable self-segregate into their own communities – no Wypipo allowed in. Let them figure out how to manage those communities by themselves, without ANY financial, economic, political, military, or law-enforcement support from those same horrid Wypipo.
The historical evidence overwhelmingly shows they will make a complete pig’s breakfast out of it. They always do. And Wypipo need to grow the hell up, and stop pretending that they owe the Wakandans anything more. Let them take care of themselves. That 13% of the population ought to learn the hard way that stupidity and extreme aggression have civilisational consequences.

Timeo Danaos Et Donna Ferentes…
The good gentlemen of The Duran discuss the increasingly clear divisions emerging in the White House, between the “realists”, and the “neoclown lites”:
The truth is, THERE ARE NO REALISTS in the White House. The very fact that DA KERNEL HIZZSELF, and his friend and former subordinate, LTC Daniel Davis, are among those sensible, smart, and genuinely highly informed TRUE realists who are not part of the God-Emperor’s Administration, should tell you everything you need to know about how “realistic” the “realists” are.
That being said – what “realists” do exist in the Trump White House, are a damned sight better and smarter than the neoclowns.
This, admittedly, is not exactly a high bar to clear – it is like asking a two-year-old to step over an inch-high barrier.

Reading Too Much Into Things
Your Science is F***ing Weird moment of the week is from The Male Brain, and looks at how Abominable Intelligence might one day soon be able to create a full simulacrum of a human brain:
Much as a pilot might practice maneuvers in a flight simulator, scientists might soon be able to perform experiments on a realistic simulation of the mouse brain. In a new study, Stanford Medicine researchers and collaborators used an artificial intelligence model to build a “digital twin” of the part of the mouse brain that processes visual information.
The digital twin was trained on large datasets of brain activity collected from the visual cortex of real mice as they watched movie clips. It could then predict the response of tens of thousands of neurons to new videos and images.
Digital twins could make studying the inner workings of the brain easier and more efficient.
“If you build a model of the brain and it’s very accurate, that means you can do a lot more experiments,” said Andreas Tolias, PhD, Stanford Medicine professor of ophthalmology and senior author of the study published April 10 in Nature. “The ones that are the most promising you can then test in the real brain.”
The lead author of the study is Eric Wang, PhD, a medical student at Baylor College of Medicine.
Your long read of the week is from Thomas Zaja is a continuation of his series on the ethnic origins of the Ukrainian “nation”, in which he comes to some rather interesting conclusions about the Khazarian influences on 404:
Without delving into the controversial works of Arthur Koestler, Shlomo Sand and Eran Elhaik, suffice it to say that the medieval sources of the time — be they in Sephardic Iberia, the Abbasid Caliphate or the Regnum Teutonicorum — are sufficiently numerous and credible to believe that part of the Khazar population, the upper echelon, indeed adopted Judaism. This is not such an arcane hypothesis considering that much of the region at this time still held pagan beliefs, which had little respectability for post-nomadic peoples on the fringes of civilization now aspiring for political clout.
Turks traditionally practiced shamanistic or animistic beliefs like Tengrism, which survives to this day in Siberia. One of the oldest sources on the Khazars, the 8th century Cosmography, leaves little doubt as to the identity of the true Khazars in their early days on the Pontic Steppe, being described as “the very worst… sooty, foul, with acutely pointed [?] teeth.” This last description likely refers to the filing of teeth that was done to honor the wolf that animist Turks so widely revered and tied to their own bestial creation story. As late as the 10th century, some of the more primitive Turks of the region were engaged in the worship of phallic idols, according to the travelogue of Arab diplomat Ibn Fadlan. Such bizarre cults are not totally surprising given the emphasis that animist cults placed on fertility semiotics, and this may partially explain the phenomenon of Hungary being Europe’s capital of pornography, the outsized role of Ashenazis in pioneering the industry, as well as the vulgar theories of perverted psychiatrist and self-described “fanatical Jew” Sigmund Freud.
Based on quantitative judgment alone it is patently obvious that the large numbers of Jews in Eastern Europe could not all have descended from the Semitic-derived Diaspora that migrated through Italy and Germany over centuries to eventually head eastward. Moreover, the phenotypes of the Ashkenazis, who are a heterogeneous group, contain expressions which are visibly neither Semitic nor particularly European. Consider the archetype of a Mikhail Tal, the Klitschko brothers, Glenn Greenwald or Konstantin Kisin — which I can only describe as a frog-like physiognomy.
Understandably, organized Jewry has wanted no part of Khazar history to overlap with their own — if not for cultural reasons then for political reasons. But in spite of the heavy-handed reflex, some remarkable evidence remains jarringly coincidental, even in the often-mentioned domain of linguistic evidence. Yiddish may be an overwhelmingly Germanic language, but in the Khazar Khaganate it so happens that the name for a silver coin was sheleg, which indeed has ancient Semitic roots and which returned in the form of shekel to be Israel’s new currency in 1980. Another discrepancy surrounds the etymology of yarmulke, the Yiddish name for the Jewish skullcap, to which most dictionaries ascribe a Turkic etymology.
A fascinating German source from the 13th century, long after the disintegration of Khazaria, illustrates what fervently Christian Germans at that time thought of the now seemingly mixed population of the Pontic Steppe. Der Göttweiger Trojanerkrieg references war-like, red-haired Jews who “looked hideous” and “taxed travelers very heavily” when traveling through the land of “Plotzen” (the empire of the Cumans, who succeeded the Khazars and whose Slavic exonym was Polovtsians).
It’s not exactly clear what part of the Khazar epoch’s affairs and legacy mentioned above could appeal to modern Ukrainian chauvinists. However, one possibility is the identification of Khazaria as one of the first cosmopolitan, multi-racial and multi-creedal states — something that the current Kyiv regime appears to want a lot more of.
The two entities to succeed Khazaria, the Pecheneg Khanate and Cumanian Khanate, were likewise Turkic and pagan but transitioning to post-nomadic life on the Pontic Steppe, which still meant perennial warfare with their neighbors. Kievan Rus at this early time was led by a highly decorated leader, Sviatoslav I, who would be ambushed by the Pechenegs and have his skull fashioned into a drinking goblet by his nemesis Khan Kurya, in accordance with the custom of the Steppe people.Both the Pechenegs and the Cumans would convert to Christianity in the next few generations and enjoy some respite from chronic warfare. However, the general theme of relations between countries of the period was one of opportunistic arrangements based on evolving circumstances and the capricious motives of rulers. Thus, the degree of ethnolingual affinity between nations was totally arbitrary to political alignment, as alien loyalties were arranged as readily as fratricidal bloodshed.
As to the Cumans (also called Kipchaks or Polovtsians) who dominated the Steppe until the time of the Mongols, there is as much uncertainty over their name as their racial identity. For while the different exonyms that referred to this people are calques of the same meaning — pale yellow, it is not known whether this referred to the color of their hair, the coat of their horses or the soil of their region. What is known is that they spoke Turkic, which at the very least was the lingua franca of a multi-ethnic confederation. An invaluable dictionary written in the 13th century, the Codex Cumanicus, has preserved many words from the Cuman language — and among them are words like shabat and shabat kun for Saturday, meaning that some Khazar Jewish linguistic culture had diffused into the Cumans.

Gus the Eyetie Engineer from Millennium 7 * HistoryTech does a deep dive into the latest Chinese EAWACS platform:
And Dark Skies has a great video about the legendary SR-71 Blackbird – perhaps the greatest aircraft ever made:
The SR-71 was truly something else. I could rabbit on about it for WEEKS. The sheer batshit INSANITY of the engineering challenges involved, alone, makes it totally unique in aviation history.
If you want to know about all that, in detail, from someone who was actually there at the time, read Skunk Works by Ben Rich and Leo Janos. Mr. Rich was the former head of the Skunkworks division at Lockheed Martin, and he worked directly under Clarence “Kelly” Johnson – in fact, Mr. Rich worked specifically on those engine nacelles, which actually withdrew into the engine itself in flight. The book is phenomenal, and looks at the Golden Age of American aeronautical engineering, starting in the late 1950s, going up to the early 1980s, and covering the F-104 Starfighter, the U-2, the SR-71, the F-117, and several others. It is gripping – I have read it at least 10 times in my life.
Oh No! Anyway…
