Yes, long before the family careered sideways into what wikipedia describes as "singing" and - calm yourself, goatherds - "lusty yodelling", von Trapp made his name as a submarine ace.
Young Georg skippering SM-U5, the submarine that he commanded during the attack on Leon Gambetta. The diminutive size of the sub is clear from the relative size of its crew - the modern eye might suspect that the musical reference here would be Spinal Tap's Stonehenge rather than The Sound of Music.

@penny-arcade.com is predicting the dystopian future well before it gets here.
A panel from Penny Arcade where an executive type, you know the type, says "I have invented a new Everquest II peripheral - The visa crucible. Seriously, listen up. Okay, kids run mom's credit card through the Machine and the amount of money they pay directly equals the damage they deal.  Each swipe of the card a slash of the sword! It's so pure I think I'm going to cry."

Don’t ask an elected official if they “believe” in climate change, it’s not a religion. Don’t ask if they think it’s serious: it is. Ask them what matters most: what are they doing about it? Excellent application here, 10/10 no notes 👏⬇️👏

the horrific cornell gang rape case has me thinking about emma sulkowicz who alleged she was raped as a student at columbia in 2014 and never got any justice. it has me thinking about the physical and mental weight young women are forced to carry while their safety is subsumed by male potential.
