Me, dumb and politically correct: Firing on unarmed ships or double-tap military strikes on schools are bad things.

Look, right or (definitely) wrong, the President said β€œother countries pay the tariffs” so just hand a few hundred billion $ to Canada and other countries in easy lump sums and we’ll sort it out.

A black-and-white close-up portrait of John Colicos. He faces slightly toward the camera with a calm, attentive expression. His short dark hair is neatly trimmed, and he has thick eyebrows and a clean-shaven face. He wears a collared shirt with the top button open beneath a darker jacket. The softly blurred background suggests an indoor setting, keeping the focus on his face.

John Colicos was the first man to portray a Klingon on Star Trek.
He was a veteran of the Stratford Festival.
He acted in The National Dream, voiced Apocalypse on X-Men: The Animated Series and much more.
This is his story.

Thread. (TLDR: the House of Lords DCC report on AI came down hard on the correct side of the debate, rather than siding with industry lobbyists.)

Tate was trying to get to Dubai on a bus.

When they got to the Saudi border everyone was told to get off for passport and baggage checks and Tate decided to stay on - presumably because the bus was air conditioned and he didn't want to stand in a queue.

He then got detained by Saudi guards.

Correction. Orwell never said this. He did however, warn that: "political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” (That's Politics and the English Language, one of my favorite essays)

Rex Stout started writing his Nero Wolfe novels in that period, and wrote the character to be shockingly overweight at "1/7th of a ton." Works out to roughly 330lbs, or a typical NFL linebacker these days.

The Depression wreaked havoc on folks.

We literally reinvented U.S. dietary and fitness standards because generals were reporting that so few recruits were showing up anywhere near ready for basic TRAINING, let alone combat. Go look at real footage, they looked like *literal* children

As Rachel points out on her Instagram, notice that the guy at the front has a Totenkopf on his quarter zip.

That's why Maine Democrats should not let anyone displaying Nazi symbols near the United States Senate

My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you.

I'm not 100% sure if that was the look she was aiming for, but it's too close for my liking...

I initially shared this, not knowing it was a Claude screenshot (because, having never used Claude, I didn’t know what Claude screenshots looked like), and since I’d seen similar claims in other sources I assumed this was journalism. But I should have checked it before sharing. Apologies, all.

Additionally what so many of the "No one's talking on Bluesky" people are actually saying is "I am lost and confused when there's not an algorithm to shove content into my eyeballs with no effort on my part"

β€œThese allergens may cause severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reactions in sensitive individuals,” the notice posted Wednesday said.
The product is advertised as containing pistachios, Belgian milk chocolate, and kadayif.

This is a profound continental divide. Canadians overwhelmingly view other Canadians, even those unlike them, as being good people. Americans, more than any other country, view their neighbours and fellow citizens as bad people. Anti-Americanism flourishes in the United States
