Now Trump is picking up the phone and trying to negotiate directly with Iran
🤣

This is eugenics.

Odd to realize that one believes the effing bloody ayatollah government over the President of the United States

Sad and alarming.

Screenshot of Joker and Batman from the Adam West Batman series surfing. Joker says "Cowabunga, Bat-Drip! As surfers go, it looks like you're all wet! Ahahaha!", to which Batman replies "Shut the fuck up! Fuck you!"

The president cannot reach a financial settlement with an executive branch agency! This is cartoonishly corrupt! Just backing the gold-plated moving van up to the IRS and loading up cash.

he just... tweeted it out

Putting it out there again that we can defeat our eventual AI overlords by simply destroying their water intake pipes. No idea if this was addressed in Terminator.

United States Ambassador To Italy Mrs Clare Boothe Luce Listens To The Words Of Pope Pius Xii,During An Audience At The Pontiff'S Lakeside Summer Residence.13 October 1955

American conservative politician Clare Boothe Luce converted to Catholicism in 1946.

In a 1953 meeting with Pope Pius XII, she was fiercely lecturing the pontiff on the Church's moral duty to fight communism when the Pope finally interrupted her.

"You know, Mrs. Ambassador, I am a Catholic too."

there's a giant MICHAEL film poster in wood green and there are constant michael jackson musical posters i keep seeing on the tube, and i feel like there's a been a real concerted effort to brain wipe how bad he was as a person, but it feels especially weird during the time of the epstein files etc

It would be kind of funny if they gave the Ahmet Ertegun award to Arif Mardin.

Artemis serves as a reminder that there’s more to the U.S. than the current administration.

Meta Is Warned That Facial Recognition Glasses Will Arm Sexual Predators More than 70 organizations, including the ACLU, EPIC, and Fight for the Future, say the AI smart glasses feature would endanger abuse victims, immigrants, and LGBTQ+ people.

More than *70* orgs are warning Meta that integrating facial recognition into smart glasses is a terrible, dangerous idea.

Five years from now, when the consequences are abundantly clear and prevalent, people will point at this warning (as has happened with Meta and Big Tech, time and time again):

elizabethrosehalligan 11h So I'm not trying to knock the gesture here, I get the sentiment. I feel for the astronaut who lost his wife as it was devastating to lose my father-in-law, who I loved very much, to glioblastoma suddenly in 2023. But 4 astronauts deciding to name a spot on THE FUCKING MOON after ONE GUY'S WIFE while the other 8 BILLION of us down here have no input on NAMING SHIT ON THE FUCKING MOON still feels like colonizer behavior to me. I don't care if one of them was a black dude.

Bringing you the Threads discourse so you don’t have to go to a Zuck site unless you want. Bless 🫶🏻

alright i'm giving up on understanding geopolitics

Eu entendo que para ir ao espaço obviamente será necessário fazer coisas que nunca foram feitas, certo? Mas o exemplo do Artemis mostra o quanto as coisas mais banais (como um banheiro) podem se tornar complicadíssimas no espaço.

É verdade, o o Musk vive mudando os números e os objetivos. O que me espanta hoje é o contrato com a NASA para fazer um lunar lander baseado no Starship. O negócio me parece totalmente fantasioso, inclusive pela necessidade de reabastecimento em órbita, algo que nunca foi feito.
