american hooting and hollaring for the nuclear destruction of their own cities very healthy country

i thought @dreadships.bsky.social was the gateway

Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."

what about sending them over easy

Very descriptive.

Vimy and history remain relevant today! The Vimy colony to nation idea is a myth but works with the PM’s statement. He draws on our history to make his point (! !) but his use of the myth is couched in equivocal language that makes it clear he understands the problems of that view. Well done, sir!

The MAGA line continues to be that America needs to seize Greenland to protect against Russia. But listen to the actual advocates for the neo-colonial plan, and it's clear that they want to take Greenland *in order to better cooperate with Russia.* www.propublica.org/article/thom...

Before the Dutch government presents their annual budget, they take down the previous budget website. And somehow the tradition grew to temporarily put a cat in its place. Behold www.rijksfinancien.nl

"i bought this model boat from the thrift store for $50 but it looks like it's at least $500 and 80 years old" no, no it isn't and it never is

Denmark’s Ministry of Defence confirms it has received a written questionnaire from the United States 🇩🇰🇺🇸 The answers will help determine how many US troops are withdrawn from Europe - and where the cuts will fall. 🇪🇺🪖 www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...

This makes me me think of the line from Star Trek VI about Shakespeare in the original Klingon
