straits are now battlefields

IS NAPOLEON THE MASTER OF EUROPE??

the new acting head of the navy is afraid of witchcraft? what year is it?

i would watch a UK version of Judge Dredd where all the Street Judges are forced to wear these robes and wigs

As Twitter became X, use frequency has become strongly correlated with dislike of Democrats.

The more you hate Democrats, the more you post and visit X.

Exactly the right response. Democrats need to pursue gerrymandering as aggressively as possible until Republicans beg them to stop. No unilateral disarmament.

Every Marvel movie exists only as a teaser for the next Marvel movie. I know some people dig that sort of thing, but, man, it just saps whatever interest I might've had in ever watching another Marvel movie.

Me manda un correo una institución del gob, dice esto "El mensaje está libre de virus." Ah bueno.

This happened to a president in my country in like, the late XIX century I think? I seem to recall he tried to resign but Congress did not accept it. He tried a second time and then succeeded. This guy, sadly the English version of the page has very little info es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%....

It gets more depressing

Palantir repeating a central myth behind speculative whiteness: white, western culture produces the high-tech future; other cultures regress into the past.

Actually, here's an interesting thing. I asked Grok why it always tries to make terrible frat boy jokes. Here's the answer. The dumb thing is supposedly trying to imitate Hitchhiker's Guide and, I shit you not, the movie's version of Iron Man's butler.

I love sci-fi, a ton of sci-fi does interesting thought experiments about possible consequences of social change...but this dumb fuck that bought Twitter seems to believe anything worth learning about the world has to be grabbed from a book about "what if we went to Mars and there were martians?"

For a second I thought Musk had actually read an academic book, a book about economics, technology, something like that, but fret not friends, it's once again a sci-fi book.

In his “most notorious [job] interview,” Karp met Louis Mosley, an Oxford graduate whose grandfather Oswald Mosley was the British fascist leader during World War II and once named “worst Briton of the twentieth century.” As soon as Mosley sat down, Karp began reciting from memory, for several minutes, one of Oswald’s 1939 speeches demanding Britain seek peace with Nazi Germany. When finished, Karp executed tai chi moves and walked out without saying goodbye. Mosley sat stunned, convinced his family’s past had torpedoed him. Instead, he was hired and now runs Palantir’s UK business.

Crazy? Would a crazy guy do this?!?

lol I knew the main detective from somewhere, he's the nazi from Inglorious Basterds from the three fingers scene

So I'm watching this German serial killer movie, love that the detective does the "police, freeze!" thing, but apparently they don't get badges, just a normal ID card so it looks way less cool. Not to mention he stops before to take the card from his wallet.

German government stuff is incapable of not looking nazi-coded lol

Cuando era niño, quería ser cyborg de adulto, pero siento que otro trabajo que me gustaba era "agente especial del FBI", pero porque en mi mente esos maes se dedicaban a investigar cosas sobrenaturales y aliens.

His wife was called Venetiana Taubner-Calderon, grade A name

Insane that Elias Canetti's original last name was apparently Cañete, because Sephardic jew.

Esto tiene que ser un chiste

Ayer fui al concierto de PiL, lo cuento para que me cancelen de una vez y no tenga que recordar que hay gente adulta en el 2026 preocupada por ese tema.

Absolutamente surreal ver maes vendiendo camisas de Sex Pistols como si fueran de Saprissa en la California.

"Colectivo Manteca" ok

Después de 9 meses, me informan que mi artículo aún está siendo revisado dentro de los "plazos establecidos"

"I hate my brother, he deserted punk. He only listens to Joy Division now" Truly a movie about punks.
