never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.

massive respect for Arakawa-sensei, who set out in her latest series to improve on Edward Elric by making her just the grungiest lesbian
Seeing a number of top regime staff tried and imprisoned* for waging a war of aggression would go a long way towards restoring faith in the rule of law.

It's a point I've been trying to make for a long time: there is no good way to meet even 10% of current demand for animal products. They trash the living world, whichever way you do it. If you want to reduce your impact, switch to a plant-based diet. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Organic eggs have worse impact on climate than eggs from caged chickens

Happy 6th month anniversary to the 3 day special military operation to denuclearize Iran to all those who celebrate!
A couple of weeks ago I rode to Newburyport MA and saw this COVID memorial and realized this is the only one I have ever seen anywhere. And the fact that I nearly broke down seeing it is something I still think about.
catholic guilt ain’t got nothing on calvinist guilt
Also, since it was a few days ago the 15th anniversary of the landing and conclusion of the STS-135 mission.
There’s just a shirt with Char’s ass on it, I think that’s important to announce
I love how the base for these acrylics has their initials in the runners. ❤️SM❤️&💙MR💙
Donald Trump has, in the same span of time, managed to get *six times* as many American servicepeople killed or wounded as the full conquest of Afghanistan in 2001.

You know the North Koreans have to feel insanely vindicated right now. You know KJU called up the new guy in Iran after the ayatollah got exploded and was like “Hey man, how‘s it going? Another beautiful day in Pyongyang. Clear skies, not a F-35 in sight. Oh? Sorry about your dad…”
#StupidSuez@diplomatofnight.com · 2w agoNuclear proliferation is plainly pretty bad but also nobody has done more to incentivize it in the Middle East than the United States
The A-10 Warthog becoming a Republican anti-woke cause celebre is so fucking perfect because: it's loud without accomplishing anything it's completely ineffective in the modern world and barely made sense when it was new and it's primarily best at killing our own troops

"Sing, O Godess, of the wrath of Achilles, son of Peleus, that brought countless ills upon the Acheans." With that opening line of the Iliad in mind, Nolan's take on the Odyssey becomes quite interesting, and a movie I quite enjoyed for what it was trying to say.

these days, I often find myself wondering if the Serengeti can swallow up the evils of our world
reaching almost 7 months of unemployment, it's just insane at this point
Having let the presentation settle a bit, here's my thoughts in short: -The presentation was painfully boring -The show *could* maybe be good? (We'll just have to wait and see) -At least the cast look like adults, which could be neat -I do not like the MS designs, way too many greebles lol

People act like it’s impossible to do the right thing and succeed but its actually pretty easy to do it and have everyone love you and you can even be a goofy silly guy and do it
Steven Santos@stevensantos.bsky.social · 2w agoGuess who had the integrity not to accept $1 million to perform at the Riyadh Comedy Festival last year?
I love how they wanted more fans, made Witch from Mercury, made *record-making profits* & a new loyal fan base willing to give up all their money and 1/2 of their vital organs for more, and then said “That seems a little woke in retrospect. What if we said “fuck you” as a business strategy instead?”

A lot of this reads like the typical "I was in the special forces so my opinion is the correct one" thinkpiece (and I use the term thinkpiece liberally), but him making a special note of being human-rights compliant as being a negative is such an enormous red flag and should be treated as such.
Peter Walker@peterwalker99.bsky.social · 2w agoI've ready some pretty odd Telegraph opinion pieces in my time, but this might be the oddest. I wonder just what it is about Wes Streeting and Chris Bryant that makes the author believe they're somehow just not macho enough for government.
Your average conservative has zero empathy for anyone else unless they personally experience that thing
