The “Simple Sabotage Field Manual,” put out by the OSS (the CIA’s predecessor) in 1944, is a wonderful source of tips and techniques for anti-management. What’s particularly brilliant is that revealing these methods can be even more destructive than concealing them: consider what happens when every time someone does something stupid and inefficient, the response is for people to wonder if that person is actually a saboteur. (The answer, by the way, is “The Joys of Stalin,” and is why Russia almost lost WWII: he had spent the 1930’s purging everyone that he didn’t trust, which is to say, basically everyone who knew anything)
But if you’re willing to accept that the people around you might just be idiots, and not actively planning your overthrow, then the pamphlet is a short and surprisingly amusing read. You can see the whole thing at https://www.cia.gov/news-information/featured-story-archive/2012-featured-story-archive/simple-sabotage.html .

Astronomers may have found giant alien ‘megastructures’ orbiting star near the Milky Way
Whoa…
A large cluster of objects in space look like something you would “expect an alien civilization to build”, astronomers have said.
Jason Wright, an astronomer from Penn State University, is set to publish a report on the “bizarre” star system suggesting the objects could be a “swarm of megastructures”, according to a new report.
Here’s the link to the source of this story and its even more interesting and exciting:
