Maybe you're too cool to be involved with model boats, but that probably means you've never seen a Russian submarine being chased by an angry Moorhen:)

Welcome to the last throes of the petrostates as the world gets serious about decarbonization. It's a shame the reason isn't "Because pollution and greenhouse gases will kill us." No, it' just "It's cheaper" and "Commodity fuels put sovereignty at risk."

But I'll take what I can get.

This is an astounding leap forward in charge technology and energy density. BYD is legitimately cleaning the clock of everyone in the EV space right now and it’s a shame we don’t import them. BUT, the infrastructure needed to enable these Blade platforms is insane. 1500 kW charging is insane.

Why isn't anyone pushing back on that claim? "When Joe Biden left office, the United States had the fastest-growing economy in the world! Now we're stalled, shedding jobs, and facing rampant inflation. People are losing their homes."

At a job I held, one of the other people on my team asked me how long I had been programming. I told her, "My Emacs configuration folder is older than you are."

That was 10 years ago.

... when the puriteens in the fandom get like this, I admit, I do have thoughts of "I have fursonas are older than you."

It's almost like they didn't appreciate "weaponized financial interdependence" is a two-edged sword.

Just saw something I wanted to run, downloaded it, unzipped it and... what the? What the heck is a `.vb` file? (opens a file at random). Oh. Oh no. No, no no. Not in 2026. Visual Basic!?

Who the heck is writing Visual Basic in 2026?

Bronies, that's who.

I always thought Obstagoons were skunks but, no, that's Skuntank. Obstagoons are supposed to be badgers.

When you get four of them together, though, that's a KISS cover band.

Mullin also has the usual MAGA credentials: he routinely misgendered Rachel Levine, and accused the Biden administration of "DEI hires" of Pete Buttigieg and Sam Brinton.

He also said, "I don't want reality," when told that public schools teach "the realities of American history" about slavery.

Mullin has flirted with Obama birtherism. When a woman brought it up in a town hall, he said, "We've lost that argument. We've had four years to prove it. I believe it is still there, but my God, after four years what do you think the chances are now?"

It's not clear what he meant by "it."

Mullin also accepted (from Obama) FEMA money on behalf of Oklahomans who suffered from flood damage, but voted against FEMA relief for victims of Hurrican Sandy, saying the "people in coastal cities don't practice self-reponsibility." www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQk7...

Markwayne Mullin Battles CNN's Jake Tapper On Trump, Epstein Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) repeatedly pushed a false claim about the Epstein prosecution — even after Jake Tapper corrected him in a wild CNN interview.

Mullin is just weird. He accused Barack Obama of arranging a "sweetheart deal" for Epstein and continued to argue about it after a reporter pointed out Obama hadn't been elected yet when Epstein was arrested and convicted.

Straight Women Are Watching Lesbian Porn Playboy's Kelly Oxford talked to six women about what porn they're really watching. Straight men were nowhere to be found.

Always good to see female desire being discussed. Even Playboy sometimes admits men aren't necessary to women's pleasure. www.playboy.com/read/sex-rel...
