A whistleblower is making some extraordinary claims about non-human intelligence
As famous capital cities of world-straddling superpowers go, Washington, DC is somewhat disappointing. The grandiose urbanism is surely meant to resemble the boulevards of Paris, with the parks of London, but in reality the dreary post-modern/neoclassical bombast makes it looks like Tashkent married to Milton Keynes. A city that is planned to project power actually projects tedious, if reliable, stolidity.
