RETCON: ‘Retroactive Continuity’ — generally used in science fiction and fantasy to re-write historical lore to make it conform to modern interpretations. That’s what the BBC is doing to their new series on The Norman Conquest: William I of Normandy’s successful invasion of the British Isles and the defeat of the Anglo-Saxon King Harold at the Battle of Hastings.

Jaguar: the classic British sports coupe, driven by men licensed to kill… as well as brow-less, gender-queer humanoids with blue eyeshadow dressed in pink latex bodysuits! What could possibly go wrong?

In a special sneak peek at our weekly Member’s Only Right Angle: Backstage show, Bill, Steve and Scott informally hash out the conflicting theories, emotions, repercussions and possible solutions to the confusion, unanswered questions, suspicions and outright anger generated by the Trump Administration’s handling of the Epstein case.

Prior to the Invasion of Iraq in 2003, Colin Powell famously advised, “if you break it, you buy it,” meaning that nation-building inevitably had to follow any large-scale military action against a hostile routine.

In the wake of another unfortunate flare-up between Elon Musk and President Trump, Scott Ott quotes The Washington Post as saying that Musk “failed” during his tenure as the director of the Department of Government Efficiency. As of this posting the National Debt Clock shows about $550 BILLION dollars saved, or nearly $5,000 in waste saved per taxpayer. That’s just under a million dollars per MINUTE. DOGE certainly could have done worse, but could they have done better… SO FAR?

Large Language Model AI systems have the potential to vastly enlarge our human ability to process information and extract meaning from vast amounts of data. They also have the ability to vastly expand upon on of humanity’s oldest habits, and that is the ability to CHEAT.

Quietly, without any fuss, Poland’s per capita GDP has matched that of Japan. By the end of the decade they will have, by far, the most powerful armed forces in Europe. Poland has been a bulwark against the east for centuries, and now, in a war of assimilation that has consumed so many European neighbors, the Poles stand resolutely true to their own heritage.

They declared war against us in 1979 and have been fighting it ever since. Scott Ott looks at the possibility of regime change in one of the most oppressive nations on the earth, but one thing seems certain: if the Iranian people are going to regain their freedom they are going to have to do it on their own.
