I live in the burnt out crater of Seattle, anarchist jurisdiction, but Scottish - tinseltown was always in the rain. NPC energy, mid table obscurity poster. I don't think that kindness is a weakness. I enjoy pendantry in all its forms. Get off my la

Wallace did not invent pikes for defending against heavy horse, either (some weak claim to the schiltron pike formation). Also, the battle of Stirling Bridge was won by the Scots when the English heavy horse crossed a ford and a narrow bridge and got stuck in a marsh. A bit less glorious.

Dude if I was a trillionaire I’d own Falling Water, the top 5 floors of the tallest skyscrapers in the worlds 5 best cities, a monorail, 11-17 castles, a volcano base, an apartment that is a submarine… the lack of imagination is unsettling

And to think, in the earlier years, the West was all like 'we'll help you but don't like, attack Russia itself' :-(

I misread that as "remain enjoyable" and had got 45% of the way through making a "Remain Enjoyable" t-shirt in the Coca Cola font. I might finish that t-shirt off. Why not, why shouldn't I remain enjoyable

Hegseth's public execution will be a dismal, depressing, inhuman affair; like Trump's army parade and bullshit 250th anniversary junk, this stuff never turns out how they fondly imagined in their authoritarian dreams. Not least, they are executing a guy in a wheelchair.

I often wonder if any have read LOTR and not just cherry picked something out of them. Elon has definitely not read all the shit he implies he has.

Easy to mix up horrible tech bros - both are moral vacuums after all: - Palmer Luckey runs Anduril, who are more 'evil automated drones' and is married to Matt Gaetz' sister (EWWW) - Alex Karp, the coked up loon with weird hair, runs Palantir who are more 'sketchy surveillance and data'.

There's no feeling like a good deadlift day (until I feel very sleepy at 2.30pm and take a snooze... that also feels great but many are saying it is unprofessional on a work day)

Let's add another: Apollo 11, 14 and 15 left retroreflectors on the lunar surface that we can hit with a laser from earth, and see the return signal. Anyone can do that, not just NASA. Same: Sputnik's broadcast signal was observable to anyone, and displayed the right doppler etc to be a satellite.

Would have been the biggest propaganda coup of the Cold War if Russia proved it was fake. As well as tracking it all, the number of people involved in the Apollo program was huge. Are we really saying the Russians couldn't find someone to turn, or blackmail, into blabbing? No leaks ever? Nah.

I used to 'read' to my twins from Scarry's Cars And Trucks And Things That Go. They started out puzzling to find the little hidden gold bug on each page. Inside weeks, on any of the 70 pages, they pointed instantly at gold bug - you realize how much is going on in their brains.
