When the US started U2 spy plane missions over Russia, it turns out the plane was still visible on their radars. The Russians just couldn’t reach them at that altitude. There are spy plane photos that show missiles being launched at them. Can you imagine how frustrated the Russians felt lol

![R. H. Bing (October 20, 1914 – April 28, 1986)[1] was an American mathematician who worked mainly in the areas of geometric topology and continuum theory.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreid62wy3dekb2kzbisjfdlimlb35j4rlgew5iof7vi32byfszmg26a@jpeg)
![Bing's father was named Rupert Henry, but Bing's mother thought that "Rupert Henry" was too British for Texas. Thus she compromised by abbreviating it to R. H.[5] Consequently, R. H. does not stand for a first or middle name.
When Bing was applying for a visa, he was requested not to use initials. He explained that his name was really "R-only H-only Bing", and ended up receiving a visa made out to "Ronly Honly Bing".](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreigmfj53q4uy33spga2bxdkllqm3ag5sffovg5g7ddmu3vqzkb6k24@jpeg)

I’m pretty pleased with the Franklin hire. I want a stable program that wins 9-10 games per year, and losing big games is historically what VT does! Besides, if not for Franklin, the list of potential hires gets pretty bleak from the jump.

It is very funny to me that France had a president named de Gaulle. I don’t know how many other countries could get away with essentially “President Charlie [the country name]”

alright let’s get something more pleasant going. what two books would you leave out on your coffee table so a reporter can mention you have them. doesn’t matter if you’ve read them. for me it’s Pale Fire (which I did read) and Ulysses (got like 15% of the way in)
