Does Starfleet kick itself over the fact it took literally until the last day of the Cold War for Uhura to figure out the trick for targeting cloaked Birds of Prey by locating their exhaust with a gaseous anomaly detector?
Americans will be like "don't walk 5 miles it'll ruin your knees"
Someone on X asks what the writing on these beautiful Shinto toriii gates means. A Japanese user, unwilling to kill the magic and inform them these are the names of individual & corporate shrine donors, replies, "There are things best left unknown."
in persian culture, telling someone "we're going to kill you all" is considered deeply offensive
The appropriation of the language of peace and conciliation on behalf of some of the worst regimes on the planet has done a lot to push me away from pacifism on even a conceptual level.
i think if you fellas stop interacting with my posts for just a couple more days it'll finally motivate me to deactivate this acc and get on with my goddamn life
Iran and Oman right now.
This reminded me that once while browsing the old NASA graphics standards manual, as one does, I was inspired to make some logos that deliberately broke as many of the rules as possible. I think they came out pretty cool, actually. 😆

I'd say the Labour Party must put an end to Starmerism before Starmerism puts an end to the Labour Party but that ship's sailed.
why do the far-right nutters here always call it "BlueSky" specifically
I'd ask why they act like it's some foreign website despite the fact they keep posting on it but that's just them trying to pretend they're "above" it

...people are dooming about Trump's de facto surrender? I mean that's unsurprising but I just somehow didn't see it coming.
is eating ass basically a sandwich. on account of the buns and such
this is untrue, technically, but all the republicans here are dogged trolls solely looking for a fight and who'd probably think any dem victory was fake anyway
Image of a X post replying to a video of a raccoon dog trying to pull away a person's travel bag with its teeth, the reply is poorly translated from Japanese and says "As expected from the canine family. The games they're playing are dog."
can't stop saying "the games they're playing are dog" to myself
459. A very interesting look at the German war effort from the inside, even if it has the usual self-serving exonerations of Wehrmact history---you will be amazed to learn that Guderian's army was the only that didn't commit any war crimes!
Oman and Iran seeing Trump somehow agreed to let them collect their entire GDPs in taxes on shipping
Everytime I twist the nozzle on the showerhead to increase pressure, I imagine I am a dying Ricardo Montalban arming the Genesis device at the end of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn

I know the tweet is Al generated when they use " ," before and.
“I will NOT sacrifice the Oxford comma. We've made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They assimilate the em dash and we fall back. They capture ‘not just X but y’ and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further!”
Apart from the profanity and planning to do some war crimes (civilian power plants are not generally valid military targets), if you had told folks that the President would be posting 'Praise be to Allah' on Easter Sunday, they'd assume we'd lost a war.
And be right, I guess.
But I will say, the historian in me knows that decline is a choice, that we can do better.
Our forebears beat the same sort of assholes in 1945 and their forebears beat the same sort of assholes in 1865 and the result wasn't perfect, but it was not decline - it was real, actual greatness.
Well obviously there's HoH SiS Foundation Repair...
