We have paratroopers pointlessly jumping through burning hoops for some reason at home. The paratroopers pointlessly jumping through burning hoops at home:

This website is all Croatoaned to bits.

Italian infantry weapons of WWI are all interesting. Not in a good way, more in a looking at what the hell is in front of you and muttering “interesting” sort of way. “Here’s your machine gun.” “Great, is it behind the two ridiculously small machine pistols someone welded together?” “Not exactly.”

Linux is available in many shapes and sizes.

My following feed is even more cryptic than usual. I guess someone won the Baseballs.

Saying that a family of weapons systems that has a less than zero percent chance of being taken out by birds can replace infantry, even just in part, is an amazing bit.

I’m now rooting for Max Verstappen to win the championship again, because it would be really funny.

What kills me about Platner Nazi tattoo thing is that it's literally the same skull from the "are we the baddies?" sketch, which aired a year before he got that tattoo.

That hill? Almost 1 Million millimeters.

Watching Hannibal, the TV show (how was that a TV show?) for the umpteenth time, because it is good.

Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICE—getting pepperballed and standing their ground—and thought “that’s awesome. That person is a hero”

I find myself watching hours long videos about the history of Formula 1. The most recent one is a 1.5h list of all McLaren cars. That’s the power of autism.

Block. Never engage.

A printed set of World Book encyclopedias is $1200 and only captures info up to the window in time in which it was printed. A few bucks a month can make sure a vital resource that's constantly updated and rigorously scoured for inaccuracies by benevolent pedants remains available to everyone.

ok look if this was actually the Middle Ages

I think Sweden and Finland need to be a unified country, simply because the outline would make me giggle occasionally.

Goontober Greetings

ChatGPT said the victory of Juche is inevitable, so we’re now working for the DPRK now.

How dare the pope not post about the death of an American podcaster? Isn’t he supposed to cater to the feelings of evangelical Americans at all time?

Me: did I eat today? My brain: [seventeen vaguely related scraps of obscure knowledge colliding at high velocity] you’re an ignorant tool.

Any Italian. Well, not the really bad ones.

I always was annoyed when people quoted the army marching on its stomach thing as though it’s a deep insight. I guess it’s less obvious when you’re a cult moron, high on war gaming and brain farts.

Is it clever to antagonize someone with all the professional masochist badges?

That’s a Reformed Atheist if I’ve ever seen one.

Jim Belushi is the Jim Belushi of people.

Almost engaged with a tedious prick. Never engage, always block.

Lego is just a licensed garbage dealer now. Other companies make far better construction sets, that are usually compatible with Lego as well.

Knives Out is such a great whodunnit, not least because you could actually figure it out on the first go, all the details are there from the beginning.

an accent like clown shoes for the tongue

Lost my first 13x13 go game by 20.5 points. I am quite proud of this. I’m hooked on Go, I guess.

This is the only proper way to watch Beckett. This person understands Beckett on a level you and I cannot even hope to.

Games Workshop should sue Hegseth for trying to reverse engineer Ork Waaagh.

Let’s just hope they don’t hire an autistic actor for once.

Thought I was having a stroke, but it was just the discovery tab on Bluesky.

The many faces of “it’s totally not autism.”

Trump, Donald Trump, lied about Project 2025? I cannot believe this after mere months of his administration implementing all the measures listed in Project 2025.

I learned how many baseball games there are because the number of cryptic posts by baseball fans on here seemed too many. Where they following other sports? No, so many games.

You are human tennis elbow! You are a pizza burn on the roof of the world's mouth! You are the opposite of Batman!

I measured myself for some weird (tape + bored) reason. My shoulders are 62cm wide, which is only slightly above average. I’m too wide to be not perceived, which is bad news for me.

In La Repubblica, really extraordinary text (look at alt text), essentially saying calling this fascism is too subtle, that it’s worse and Hegseth is a lunatic. Who am I to argue? www.repubblica.it/rubriche/l-a...

What if we made all the military the first half hour of Full Metal Jacket?

This is even dumber than expected. He just gathered all the generals to quote incoherent bits of his favorite podcast culture war nonsense at them.

You vs the guy she told you not to worry about

The best part about this bit is people going “I understand” whilst clearly thinking it’s the plane they’ve seen before.

I like female singers doing harsh vocals. Hanabie. is like catnip to me.
