Death Horizon sounds like a title to a B movie

I like that they still insist on using the name Twitter. It makes me sad when a media outlet gives up and starts calling it X.

Going with something like “X (formerly Twitter)” seems like a reasonable compromise.

This won’t affect me directly, but I’ve been pulling for Mamdani anyway. I know that basically amounts to “thoughts and prayers”, but still.

That’s a great way of looking at it. I’m not sure if it was that or simple cowardice, but I like your interpretation.

No it is not. Additionally, placing loyalty above ability is a sign of both narcissism and insecurity.

I’m being generous. Plus, my expectations are extremely low when it comes to Mango Mussolini.

No one should ever take YouTube this seriously. People can leave such cruel and thoughtless comments when they’re hiding behind a username.

The more the government sucks, the less people will rely on it, or expect it to function well. A weak, hobbled government is great for the rich and powerful, but not so great for you and me.

Donakd only cares about loyalty. Actual competence and intelligence can be a liability.

"We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f--- they’re doing," Trump said as he departed the White House for the NATO summit in the Netherlands.

That’s… actually a pretty decent (if oversimplified) summary. I’m reluctant to give Donakd credit for anything, but here we are.

Want the “ceasefire” to actually stick? Stop helping defend Israel. That’s a bloody, horrible option, but it’s less bloody than letting Netanyahu continue his rampage.

Maybe I’m remembering wrong, but hasn’t the U.S. gone to war without congressional approval a bunch of times?

I want a USS Reliant, or just a generic Miranda class. That’s one of my favorite starship designs of all time.

I think you’re right about the material properties. I read somewhere that Lego is really finicky about the specific “recipe” for their plastic bricks, and yes, as a result they can specify higher tolerances.
