I like how the maps on long transpacific flights deem it necessary to indicate deep ocean floor terrain features like the "Detroit Seamount" and the "Emperor Seamount", like they were places I could go vacation at or something

Aaaaand now my flight is delayed because of a busted refrigerator

NGO-HND

The airport is also butt nekkid empty. (Well, it *is* 5 am...)

This train is butt nekkid empty

I've been dropped off at the train station so it's time to LAAAUUUUNNNCCCH (NGO-HND-IAD tomorrow)

What I'm hoping 2026 will be like

Anyone who thought the Epstein files would be released in any other fashion is deluding themselves. You all knew, in your hearts, that they would never betray their own.

We're ripping all this stupid shit down the minute he is deposed.

I'm beginning to think that Joe Biden may be the most unfairly treated US president of all time. He was no Abraham Lincoln, to be sure, but holy shit guys, you're treating the poor man like he hit the gas instead of the brake and took out a column of grade schoolers.

Time for my family and friends in the US to step up

@gaijinmommy.bsky.social might be interested in this one I found on my camera roll, taken 4 Jan 2023, on a JAL flight departing Haneda for Nagoya. I caught both the Skytree and Mt. Fuji in the same shot

Aside from this being my favorite car of all time, if I may geek out for a moment: At 1:35, one of the best camera transitions I have ever seen. Dead. Utterly deceased. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMTh...

Buuuurrrrrrrrppppp

I ask this every year, but how, exactly, did the ox and lamb keep time? I get the thing about the baby Jesus being a divine being, the son of God, and all that, but did His power extend to the animals in the barn? How did that work? Did they stamp their hooves? Headbang? What?

😭😭😭

"We got Pete Alonso at home." The Pete Alonso at home: ... ACTUALLY PETE ALONSO #Orioles

Hideously illegal, and impossible to implement regardless. Why don't you fuckers just ban everyone outright then? Much less overhead if you want to alienate the entire planet.

I just realized that in a lot of cases, ChatGPT and Copilot are highly glorified versions of LMGTFY ("Let Me Google That For You") with the meme of that guy looking at you wide-eyed in exasperation while motioning at the answer

*wakes up* Okay, let's see what the #Orioles have done during the winter meetings! *checks* Rats.

MONDAY MORNING MEETING

All tsunami warnings and cautions have been rescinded, so all clear on the beaches. But I suspect that now that the sun is up, we'll start finding damaged buildings and houses here and there. I was totally oblivious to the whole thing, having been preparing for bed at the time with the TV off

It's weird, virtually my entire Bluesky Discover list is wall-to-wall NFL commentary. Meanwhile, I'm all like, woohoo, Australia is up 2-0 after another dominant #Ashes performance

Today is Gifu Shimbun's 50,000th edition

If you see this, repost with your model of positive masculinity.

I just watched a documentary about this absolute hero and I'm a blubbering mess again. These are the real men, those who deserve 50m tall statues. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetsu_N...

Yeah I detect a pattern

DoD Law of War Manual: "18.3.2.1 Clearly Illegal Orders to Commit Law of War Violations. The requirement to refuse to comply with orders ... that the subordinate knows, in fact, are illegal. For example, orders to fire upon the shipwrecked would be clearly illegal." <-- right here

Even assuming the targeted boats were indeed carrying drugs headed for US shores, you stop them, confirm the contents, and arrest the crew. You don't blow them up like enemy TIE fighters in a Star Wars movie, pew pew pew. They aren't combatants.

Just re-unearthed this one. Taken at Hakone Shrine, Kanagawa, in 2012. One of my favorites that I've shot
