Drones are speedrunning the history of military aviation: scouts, then bombers, then fighters to hunt them, then carriers and relays. And they keep branching into classes aviation never had.
Everything gets tested in combat. Only what works survives.
The US will livestream the Army's upcoming firing squad execution of Nidal Hasan, a gunman who killed 13 people at the Fort Hood military base in 2009, the Pentagon said, in what would be an unprecedented broadcast of a US execution. reut.rs/4jMNL9x
I’m more sympathetic to the median voter (derogatory) than most people on here but it seems like the only way you can instill some sense of civic virtue is to shove the consequences directly into their face after the fact
🔥🛢️One of the most incredible sequences from today’s attack on Moscow: a Ukrainian MICH-2000 long-range strike drone pushes through a wall of Russian air-defense fire and successfully reaches the Moscow Oil Refinery grounds.
(1/2) Oil is flowing through the Hormuz Strait. The Countries of the World, which have been no help to us whatsoever, should, and will, reimburse the United States of America when this SCAM Confligration is all over. We are doing it much more for others, than we are for
Basically all skepticism towards this is just orientalism. They have an aerospace industry. It's incredibly effective despite operating with nearly zero resources. The people working in it are not stupid, nor are they too principled or pure to use the best tools available
You don't win a conflict for the heart of civilization with war, you win by making the other guys want to be you. We didn't win the Cold War with fighter jets and missiles, we won it with rock and roll and blue jeans.
❗️Fire Point says its FP-7 ballistic missile has entered military trials after successfully completing ground, laboratory and flight-testing stages. CEO Iryna Terekh said the missile could move to operational use soon: "We're talking weeks, not months." #Ukraine
Billionaires are buying vast parcels of land in Patagonia and other remote places so they can confortably survive the climate crisis instead of spending their ungodly amount of money to actually solve/mitigate the problem.
These parasitic motherfuckers are sociopaths of the highest order.
I'm not saying they're all evil monsters but we should treat each and every one of them as such until they individually provide receipts to the contrary.
Fox News complains that underage teenage girls aren’t getting pregnant enough:
“The problem is teens and young adults. From ages 15-19, the fertility rate is down 70% in the last 2 decades, which means we are telling people who are young not to have babies.”
Cronaca di due giorni al festival hardcore di Manchester. E la storia della band esplosa su TikTok che sul palco non ha suonato una sola nota dei suoi pezzi virali.
"The only thing they have is FAKE NEWS from the USA" is projection if I've ever seen it. Dominance over the domestic news is all he's got left. Otherwise, Iran won.
Trump: "We don't need their product. So if we cut off trade with that country, we just made $40 billion. You do a few countries like that, and we become a big money machine." 🙃
The major allies in WW2 were a decaying global empire led by a professional racist, a Leninist autocracy led by a guy who could barely string a sentence together and an apartheid state led by the most libbed up man alive. They were still clearly the good guys
Is Trump Saddam Hussein?
> Ruinous war against Iran
> Gilded everything
> Bullies oil-rich neighbouring states
> Genocidal acts against ethnic minorities
> Moron sons on a non-stop crime spree
> Hides in boxes
> Sets the national economy on fire
NEW: Hugo Chavez-Rey, Vice-Chair of the Denver Republican Party, has resigned rather than face a removal vote tonight after he refused to back GOP gubernatorial candidate Victor Marx.
A Trump quote without his voice or face. Trump without Trump. This quote is unedited and 100% accurate. It's from the Pennsylvania Defense and Innovative Summit on July 15, 2026. Do Magnets!
SCOOP: Trump’s Iran War has burned through well *over 90%* of key long-range missiles
Sources tell @swin24.bsky.social that the percentage of critical long-range missiles that the Trump administration has depleted in its failing war is in ‘at least the high nineties.’
From @zeteo.com —
Whether it’s Pete Hegseth overseeing missile depletion, food shortages, and sailor suicide attempts or Lloyd Austin being Black, both secretaries of defense have angered portions of the electorate.
Ah yes, Dark Souls/Elden Ring:
- kill a demigod
- use their soul to acquire their legendary weapon with a sickass lore description
- your peasant sword is better
WELKER: You're saying you would not support sending aid to Israel, which was attacked by Hamas, but you've also said you would support sending aid to Ukraine which was attacked by Russia
EL-SAYED: It's about conditions. I believe we have a responsibility to uphold int'l law and to support Ukraine
Only a Sith deals in absolutes e sapete quanto mi faccia schifo l'attuale governo ma se mi ponessero di fronte all'alternativa tra votare una coalizione contenente i 5 Stelle e mangiare ciotole di letame per un anno la mia reazione sarebbe "passatemi il sale e le posate per favore".
oh my god no it does not. Canada has maha type cranks. The UK does. Japan does, Germany does, Sweden does, India does, France does
IT'S NOT ABOUT THE MATERIAL CONDITIONS OF THE SYSTEM, WHICH YES ARE BROKEN
MAHA IS A EUGENICS MOVEMENT NOTHING TO DO WITH THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM
MAHA’s words:
-we care about kids, RFK Jr’s 1st MAHA report was called “Make our Children Healthy Again!” (coauthors: Jay Bhattacharya, Stephen Miller)
MAHA’s actions:
-pushed 1 million kids off food assistance
-allowed coal plants to spew toxic methylmercury
-rolled back child vaccination
After several days of nationwide protests, President Volodymyr Zelensky appointed Mykhailo Drapatyi as Ukraine's new commander-in-chief on July 20, prompting outrage among Russian social media users and military bloggers.
“But the bigger problem is how much of the media of ‘the left’ is dominated by men who appear to have no understanding of sexual abuse or intimate partner violence, but do have a pretty hefty sexist streak that they either aren’t aware of or don’t care to remedy.”
YES @juliedicaro.bsky.social
"Boltzmann Brains" is a fanciful name for a dead-serious idea. I'm beginning to wonder whether the name hasn't caused the physics community to not spend nearly enough time thinking carefully about the problems that they pose.
We have Boltzmann Brain Blindness.
Long 🧵 coming. ⚛️ #cosmology

SpaceX (with twitter being a subsidiary) is actively engaged in a low intensity insurrection within the US and in several treaty allies. They are promising openly to escalate. There are capital crimes being committed in broad daylight. We should stop acting as if this is not the case
I'm excited to be dragged into the pit of no return by the hogs on Bluesky for believing people make mistakes and can change. The SA allegations are awful. Please crucify me.
