The year is 1969. Man lands on the moon. Back on Earth, the Concorde flies its first test for a commercial supersonic airline.
The year is 2026. Man circles the moon and will, a few years later, land. Back on Earth, there is a concept of a plan for commercial supersonic flights.
Teach the children the truth!
I am eternally thankful for this @citationspod.bsky.social podcast from years ago that rewired my brain from seeing gambling as a stupidity tax to a targeted attack to drain resources from vulnerable populations who have less and less hope for any kind of "honest" financial stability
This woman is a handpicked Trump supporter from Arkansas and she is less anti-trans than the median Atlantic columnist
This is how I’m displacing rage & terror, by being a pedant
Philosophically of course I believe women should be allowed to be assholes, but in practice it’s so annoying
It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for
I’ll show you motherfuckers who’s weak on crime
Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy. He talks about "fear" of the Trump Administration, but doesn't mention the FEAR that the Catholic Church, and all other Christian Organizations, had during COVID when they were arresting priests, ministers, and everybody else, for holding Church Services, even when going outside, and being ten and even twenty feet apart. I like his brother Louis much better than I like him, because Louis is all MAGA. He gets it, and Leo doesn't! I don't want a Pope who
"Pope Leo is WEAK on crime"
"The Archbishop of Canterbury is A LOSER on housing affordability"
"The Dalai Lama is STUPID at missile defense"
"The Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople SUCKS at securing access to rare-earth minerals"
a just and loving god would have let Hilary Mantel live to hear “the pope is weak on crime”
I'm gonna be real with you. The Pope *is* soft. His secondary is giving up the most YAC in the league. The Pope will *not* be competitive in the postseason if he can't tackle.
after they do this, you'll explain to newcomers to the city that they used to just pile trash on the sidewalk and they'll think you're fucking with them and telling an obviously made-up tall-tale
This Jay Bhattacharya? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...
*I was a child in the 1960s the last time there was this much focussed hostility toward computation per se
$1MM worth of lego products? that's like, three sets
this is a boring take but if we want this from a Dem President in 2029 we need to deliver the type of huge legislative majority Magyar just achieved and not the razor-thin one that Biden was forced to work with.
Everyone please welcome CBS News Immigration Analyst Viktor Orban.
I will be (concerned honking noises) everywhere from now on
if my Ancestry results had come in a little sooner I’d be en route to Budapest instead of Bucharest next week
gotta love a big Balkan news cycle
The lady interviewing the cat is Michelladonna, a comedian who has a social media show called Shop Cats in which she goes around the city profiling bodega cats and she’s hilarious and the show is fucking adorable

Only took me a few weeks but here is a list of books to introduce one to all things military. My latest⬇️
My friend David lost his ID so we bullied him until he moved to the other side of the country. I forgot where I was going with this story.
the astros might never win again
1. The filing deadline is passed
2. A Republican hasn't won statewide in CA in 2 decades
3. Tom Steyer's going to spend like $100M on this race
4. HOW WERE YOU EVER PAID TO TALK ABOUT POLITICS????
HUGE: J Street now backs blocking all aid to Israel, including for “defensive” weapons like iron dome. Just weeks ago this was a controversial position for Democrats, now J Street is backing it. A few years ago a Democrat could get censured for holding this position. @AOC moving on this moved the field.

it would be really funny if one of the astronauts had hid in the capsule and the others went out and were like what no there were only 3 of us
Some of you have such contempt for young people. It's no wonder they don't want to be anywhere near you.
Only 1,000 people saw the Melania movie but everyone who did went out and married a pedophile
