The idealized concept immediately took root and blossomed: the Royal Air Force saved Britain from invasion in 1940. The conventional wisdom holds that Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s legendary “few” handed Nazi Germany its first defeat in World War II and paved the road to eventual victory. But was it true? In this poster, a German bomber is shot down by a British fighter during the Battle of Britain. Image: NARA After eight decades, it’s time for some objectivity about this admittedly heroic stand. When Germany invaded Poland in September 1939, the Western allies joined in a belated effort to counter Adolf…

For years, the “Dead Internet Theory” was dismissed as an online conspiracy — the idea that much of the internet would eventually become a synthetic environment dominated by bots, algorithms, and machine-generated content while real human interaction faded into the background.This week, two major developments suggest that what once sounded absurd may deserve a second look.According to new data from internet infrastructure giant Cloudflare, automated bot traffic has officially surpassed human-generated traffic on large portions of the web. At nearly the same time, Anthropic — one of the world’s leading AI companies — publicly called for the option to pause…

The Strike Industries Polymer FSA STAB is shown here riding the rear Picatinny rail of the Kuna. According to the author, the two look like they left the factory together. Last year, I had the honor of…

This is a fine high-speed sporting cartridge for the improved Government Model automatic pistol, but it should not be used in the older Colt pocket models. The Thompson submachine gun was once available in a .38 Super chambering. In Spain, Llama has made pistols for it. It’s not popular in Europe, but it…

None were close, and as a result, he didn’t get out to the range all that often. That was part of…
