The press likes Trump because he flatters them and their massive egos.

Hard to make it more obvious that a lot of people are now just saying “AIPAC” as not so veiled code for “the Jews”

He really does think all the oil is in big cartoon barrels marked OIL we can just roll into a C-130 and peace out with like 1960s Batman villains robbing a bank.

I hate every bot I see. From gpa to gpt

The Democratic base is a bunch of 50-something Black women in Philly & Atlanta who go to church every Sunday & really liked Barack Obama & Joe Biden.

Madness. The war crimes, the deranged profanity, the casual Islamophobia. He has no idea how to solve the problem he created and he’s going to spin out about it until he nukes Tehran. He needs to removed and frankly, if he were any other world leader, we’d understand he needs to hang for his crimes

Maintaining/replacing all those Phantoms and Tomcats vs pouring money into missiles. Would have loved to have been a fly on the wall in all the internal debates between the IRIAF and IRIRGCAF.

impressive to be unconstitutional *and* - in the context of DHS's white nationalism - blasphemous.

I'm not even making a horseshoe theory point here, I am actively arguing that, for lack of a better name, "modern Chinese authoritarianism" is a cohesive ideological system and both Mao and Chiang were its adherents in a way you can't say about, say, Rhee and Kim.

The only morally cohesive stances are to either hate both Mao and Chiang or love both of them. They don't really have much separating one from the other.

It’s time to post one of my favorite memes of the year.

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

Also really funny that the A-10 couldn't make it back to base while F-35 ate something and did

The romanticization of the strike as a performance of class struggle over its actual purpose (obtaining concessions at the bargaining table through economic warfare) is a problem on the left.

We are losing more aircraft on the ground, which does seem to indicate the utility of cheap long-range precision fires to an entity that is incapable of denying the sky to their opponent.

Honestly really impressive how good at SEAD the USAF is, losing a bunch of turboprop drones and 2 or 3 jets (depending on if that F-35 is not gonna get repaired) to enemy air defenses with the sheer number of sorties we've launched is kinda wild?

Uh oh

That tweet from some rando Pakistani guy about hearing low flying helicopters in Abottabad lives rent free in my head.

Lots of Star Wars set dressing i from the OT is British military industrial and aviation equipment.

The thing about social media is that you'll find people saying the most evil stupid shit possible in response to entirely correct, inane statements. The reactions Stancil and Marchini‬ get are prime examples of this. ‪

You know you can read what Bin Laden said about why he orchestrated 9/11, right?

I've had *fun* in Northampton but that place's vibes suck. And I say that as someone from Coventry.

Watching Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and this is probably the hottest anyone has looked in a movie ever?

I'm a simple man. I see photos from Artemis II, I cry at the wonders of the universe and the accomplishments of our species.

the past is a different country, and sucked

The below poster thinks Ukraine is rune by Nazis.

i have Much going on

What a terrible day to have eyes.

when you are so anti-imperialist you declare it to be an objective to liquidate a completely different country's democratically elected government

*movie trailer guy voice*

The one whose continued existence is a physical reminder that the Confederacy lost.

"Harassment is bad regardless of the target" is not white identity politics.

"people can be harassed regardless of skin colour or gender" isn't manosphere gripery, don't be ridiculous.

I love it when people say stupid shit like this, because it displays their total ignorance of what the Nazis were like and what they advocated. The most rw Democratic politician today would be the most radical liberal in 30s Germany or America.

Mission to Recover Downed F-15E Aircrew Puts Combat Search And Rescue in the Spotlight The loss of an F-15E in Iran prompted specialized CSAR units to spring into action, with many assets working together to recover all missing aircrew. Here’s how. Story: theaviationist.com/2026/04/04/c...

of course

I'm *still* trying to figure out whay this one was going for.

"They"???

FYI, this gallery has all the photos NASA is sharing from Artemis II in one place, with descriptions.

that's right! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅

We got to see see F-14s and F-35s I'm combat together. Admittedly against each other, but still.

The NMAAHC is genuinely a triumph of design and execution. The section on the declaration really stopped me cold. Just amazing, really

yeah when Elon posted about feeding USAid into the wood chipper instead of going to parties I thought about this one You Snatched Bread From Their Mouths And Tore Clothes From Their Backs. For Sport, Mr Musk. For Sport. For The Joy Of The Game.

The redemption of Moist relied in part on him realising what a fucking monster he'd been before.

Remember, whenever you say "Funny how there's money for X but now Y", be careful you are not accepting as a first principle the pro-austerity notion that there is a limited pot of money to begin with.

Fun fact: sending astronauts to the moon is *cheaper* then anyone of those three things let alone all of them.

Perfect no notes

I mean the fundamental issue with Bundism, noble as it was, is that it was destroyed, massacred and annihilated.
