We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.
Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

I’m not dead! The April issue of Aeroplane reports an XF-90 was found on Frenchman Flat. It was used during the nuclear testing series there in the early 1950’s and apparently was just forgotten. Not that surprising I guess. One wouldn’t expect a lot of hikers wandering about one the most heavily A-bombed spots on Earth.
It has been recovered and is being decontaminated (after 50 years in the desert I suspect that means hosing the dust off it) and will be displayed at the USAF Museum in Dayton, Ohio. I would imagine it needs “a little work” done on it as well.
Here’s a USAF picture of one of the two of them back when they were new. That makes it 50/50 this is the same plane:

Who Are We? The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling.
We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.
