"it's going to be really hard for Eggers to walk the line between historical accuracy and audience intelligibility because the film is set BEFORE the great vowel shif-"

The discourse about the roman helmet guy and the right wing suit guy are fundamentally the same: there are people who fume at historians, classicists, fashion experts, and anyone else that gets in the way of what they THINK the past was like

Crazy that For All Mankind S5 does its season finale time jump to 2020 to Savage by Megan Thee Stallion

it's only a "co-op" game if the campaign is cooperative

For All Mankind is better than Warhammer 40k.

The chokehold capuchin monkeys had in 2000s films

I genuinely believe that the US's inability to embrace hybrid drivetrain technologies in cars (meaning like the OG Prius, not new plug-in stuff) was a very bad sign of cultural decline which we really should have paid more attention to. We decided to look at innovation and say "no thanks"

I dont mean this as a rebuke, but Q is receiving a lot of hate from the tabloids, social media, and some sitting MPs to the point of needing security recently. So, they need our support right now not to be used as a cudgel in this manner.

We are concerned by the nature of the media attention focused on the election of Dr Q Manivannan to the Scottish Parliament at the recent election.

uh I think you mean the west of Virginia

Huge congratulations to Iris Duane and Q Manivannan, soon to become Scotland's first ever trans and non-binary MSPs 👏🏻👏🏾👏🏼🏳️‍⚧️💪🏼 #ScottishGreens #ScottishElection2026 #ScottishElections #ScottishParliament #scottishpolitics

"Ukraine’s OWA drone campaign shows that key assumptions about the strategic impact of drones – that they are too vulnerable and too small to impose costs at the strategic level – do not apply across the entire spectrum of uncrewed systems." www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

I mean this is bad but we had the tide pod challenge like 8 years ago so

So kind of like a video essay but written down?

we shamed people for wearing socks and sandals and now we live with the consequences

it's not a political thing I'm just that bad at dancing

you can't make it through a paradox game without loading up a save 18 times but you're going to win money betting on actual politics suuuure

I feel that the Permanent Apportionment Act capping the number of House seats has become a hindrance

Who could've guessed that either being fired or watching friends and family get fired would upset Virginians

It's been a stressful time let me unwind by trying some funny light comedies with zany premises

I'm hoping investment in VR for video games won't decline now that Facebook figured out that the metaverse/mass corporate adoption isn't happening

"For states that are economically dependent on the fossil fuel industry or similar industries with large and flammable facilities, an OWA drone campaign can threaten key revenue streams" www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Any remake of Assassin's Creed 4 should retain the modern day sections

Weird amount of media citing a linkedin post I made months ago making fun of the Pentagon pizza index

In Dr. Ash Rossiter and my 2024 article "A one-way attack drone revolution? Affordable mass precision in modern conflict" we show that OWA drones like Iran's Shahed-136 are more successful than expected. You can read it here: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

is there a reason we capped the number of congressional Representatives? seems like it causes a lot of problems

Not sure where this is going except to say ‘we are screwed’

This is an excellent opportunity to bring back the term Shanghaied

A nice new years gift, my article "Precise Mass in Action: Assessing Ukraine’s One-Way Attack Drone Campaign" passed 5,000 views! thanks to everyone who gave it a look

"don't know much about Yemen, or where it is, or who runs it, but here's what the recent tension means for the internationa-"

The incitement against the Sana'a Center is atrocious
