Dr. Abdul El-Sayed: Mike Rogers is a guy who wants to put a data center in your backyard so he can feel a bit more manly by making an AI video. If you want a senator who's gonna lick some boots, go vote for Rogers. But if you want a senator who's going to stand up to Trump, you've got your option.

Let's explore a specific moment in time: BEFORE radar was invented (~1939) but AFTER airplanes entered warfare (1911). The best way to detect an airplane sneaking up on your border or coastline is with one of these absolutely ridiculous-looking devices. This is a "two horn acoustic locator", 1921.

A two-horn listening device in use at Bolling Field in Washington, D.C., in 1921, used to detect distant aircraft before the advent of radar.
