If Battlestar survives 400 years into the future Shakespeare play style people will NOT believe that Gaius Baltar came before Elon Musk/assorted AI guys were a thing

People upset about redistricting should contemplate the statehood laws of 1889-1890, particularly Wyoming and two Dakotas.

It hasn't been clear whether Iran was deliberately manipulating the negotiations to play the admin or whether there actually isn't anyone in charge. But it's the latter.

I swear to fucking God if you revert to steam cats some Admiral should face a firing squad.

One (petty) thing I hope for under a Dem Congress is that regime figures no longer have “the honorable“ on their name cards.

lol fuck

I hope John Calipari understands just how load bearing next year’s team is gonna be vibes-wise in Fayetteville. might be able to get some cheap tickets late season though.

“I had a little bird and its name was Enza. I opened the window and in flew Enza.”

this scene hit the internet like crack in 2008

Think we’re well past the “Yokoi demos the Virtual Boy” level of ritual humiliation here, and the pocket squares are part of this. Anyway if you need me I’ll be giving Jake Tapper a five minute swirlie.

LRT: not gonna bitch about the racial dynamics of a live action Gundam cast when Tomino never wrote an explicitly Japanese lead (Amuro’s from North America).

$13.10 for the B1G Championship $27.21 for the National Championship I know everyone in Bloomington took out second mortgages for the run, but perhaps this much is still lying around?

The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.

So important to British strategic thought and planning that a major concern in the lead up to independence was “wait, FUCK HOW DO WE REPLACE THAT?” The attempted answer was Africa, the reality was they didn’t.

Late 19th century naval planners and cruiser designers pointing and yelling “see? SEE?!”

So what recession indicator is “Mahjong starter sets by checkout at Walmart Neighborhood Market?”

i don’t mean, like, “they’re using all the water!”, but they do use a good deal of water and power, which is fine, pay for it, but don’t come looking for handouts to build your mega no-job project

This is a very good and easily missed point.

Truth and Retribution.

If you take nothing else from the war in Ukraine, take this.

Drop your crime-fighting Catholics:

"But drones-" unless you plan to teleport those drones to their AO, you're going to need a ship to fly them from. The fact that large carriers are the most efficient method to generate sorties of large aircraft is not a conspiracy theory dreamed up by Babcock. These things are in fact useful.

trying to write something about rebuilding science and it's such a bloodbath its hard to be interesting and nuanced about it. like, hot take i think we should have a forest service

welp, guess it's time to build a new arena, that's a shame

Snapple.blockchain energy.

a lot of damage is already done here and if we are all going to pay for it, so are they

all of this is indicative of a deeply fucking diseased political and media class who would much rather report what happens than offer analysis about why it’s happening or what it means and they [redacted]

Let me guess, sovereign wealth fund sportswashing becomes a lot more discretionary when oil exports crash.

Repost if your account is a safe place for the trans community. 🏳️‍⚧️ Always has been. Always will be.

Couch-tan ain’t taking this challenge lying down, ironically.

This. They're not going to go right up to Hormuz to grab a ship. They'll track it and snatch it up later in open water. It's a distant blockade.

As someone who has been banging this drum and offering his own meager aid to non-MAGA politicals and their staff for years, I regret I have but one like and repost* to give.

USNI News, citing two defense officials: The USS George H.W. Bush and its escorts, did not transit the Strait of Gibraltar and are instead sailing around the southern tip of Africa.

Not ruling out the possibility that some of the NatSec politicals were so Paradox-brained that they thought “papal controller” was a real thing and are pissed that it isn’t working that way.

Bye

Even bigger news than Sarah Sanders being open to "considering" other locations for a new prison is her tacit admission that she might not be able to make the Franklin County location happen, despite all her bluster and foot stomping. arktimes.com/arkansas-blo...

Presumably, it's going to involve Leo Frank trutherism, SS tattoos, love for Hamas purely because they kill Jews, justificationism for murder of Jewish protesters...

Thanks in large part to Tom Allen basically Leaving Bloomington with losing streaks to everyone else (aside from Northwestern, who we merely didn’t play), just noting that Indiana’s longest current winning streak against a conference foe is Wisconsin at 3. 2 were to Allen btw.

Is the fact that the Iran war wasn’t congressionally authorized something we no longer talk about? Seems like the reporting/discussion now just assumes that Trump can just do whatever he wants wrt the use of force

Pam Whitten at the IU celebration received a similar response over here.

Anyway I just saw Denver’s part of the West Coast Conference’s desperate post-Gonzaga backfill efforts and lol they need to replace that bird alt logo with a rubber chicken to best reflect the fate of everything that isn’t hockey.

Denver fittin’ to win a national championship after being outshot by like 40 in the semis and final combined.

This may be a fundamentally new kind of sin blending blasphemy, idolatry, divination, and simony, among others. Those who are not horrified at this may be entirely lacking in authentic religious awareness and feeling.

5 years post-Dominion War setting; either occupation/reconstruction duty in Cardassian space or Gamma Quadrant exploration.

lost era novel series is pretty good actually; but definitely would love for Serpent Among the Ruins’ version of Tomed to be canonized.

Wilson had been on the job for a little over a month.

So Murtha’s the first non-flattop to be a primary recovery ship; every other one was an Essex class carrier or an Iwo Jima class helicopter carrier. Now a large part of this is a lack of (other) hulls then with permanent large helo space, but also speaks to our lack of flattops today.

some things are just impossible to visualize like traveling 24,600 miles per hour what even
