Записки жизнерадостного пессимиста - Странные самолеты Пока все судачат о китайском экраноплане, один хороший человек откопал самые странные самолеты мира.

Малый российский экраноплан Иволга: Китайский Nanjing Angel: Parents May Face Jail For Having Swing Set on Their Property By Lou Colagiovanni Two Lee’s Summit, Missouri parents have found themselves in hot water for having a swing set for their children on their property. The Stout family is facing sanctions, fines, and possibly even jail time. Leading the charge against the family—which has been ongoing for over a year—is the most dubious of opponents: The Raintree Lake Property Owners Association. The claim against the family swing set is that it infringed on HOA guidelines, which specifically state that play equipment must be “subdued and within harmony with other colors of the community.” Let’s note, for the record, that the definition of “harmony” is suspiciously missing from the HOA’s guidelines. Marla Stout, speaking for her family, said the dispute originally began over the color of the swing set, which was red. To compromise, the family changed the color to purple, which also failed to appease the HOA. Lou Colagiovanni joined Anti-Media as an independent journalist in July of 2014.

DOJ Creates New Position to Target "Anti-Government Views" By Joe Wright “Americans motivated by anti-government views and racist ideologies” will be the focus of a new Department of Justice position, John Carlin told a George Washington University crowd today. The Associated Press reports: The Justice Department is creating a new position to coordinate investigations into violent homegrown extremism, a department official said Wednesday.Assistant Attorney General John Carlin, head of the department’s national security division, said that while the international terror threat occupies the public attention, federal officials remain just as concerned about the prospect of violence from Americans motivated by anti-government views and racist ideologies. The new “Domestic Terrorism Counsel” will work with US attorneys nationwide “to identify trends that can be used to help shape a national strategy.” This latest move from the fear-mongering Department of Justice essentially enshrines homegrown paranoia about imagined enemies.

Video Man charges iPhone on train, arrested for stealing electricity This is the first story in our summer series, RoadTrip 2015: The Global Hunt for Innovation. SAN DIEGO -- "You don't even want to know." That was the San Diego Comic-Con staffer's response when I asked just how long fans had been waiting to gain access to the infamous Hall H for arguably the most popular and anticipated celebrity panel of the week: "Star Wars: Episode VII." The real answer, it turns out, was around 48 hours. People began lining up Wednesday morning with foldable chairs, packaged food and bottled beverages, full-blown camping gear and as much fandom as they could muster to hold them over until the doors of the mammoth auditorium hall opened early Friday. Attached to the eastern end of the San Diego Convention Center, Hall H is best known for fitting just north of 6,000 people -- or under 5 percent of 130,000-plus Comic-Con attendees -- eager to see Hollywood's biggest names and exclusive trailer footage of upcoming films and television shows.

Canadian Police Banish Families From Playing in Park: "I'm In Charge Here" By Amanda Warren Last Sunday, some British Columbia dads gathered their kids to a public park; a field fit for some father-son soccer time. We've reported in the past about America's unfortunate export to the UK and Canada - police brutality and authoritarianism. Permit-pushing is another problem. Unfortunately, that attitude continues to grow and even mall cops, bureaucrats and bylaw officers want a piece of the power pie. People are grateful when, during a confrontation, if officers are called they bring resolution to a situation without anyone getting hurt. News anchors astutely observed that while bonding in the park away from crime, the "Kids... Families are still unsure why they were targeted while playing in the park. A female Surrey officer who seemingly suffers from small-man syndrome, actually called for the back-up of Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Listen to me! Full footage of the dads trying in futility to reason with the officers and explain: H/T: CopBlock
