Now this is a guillotine meme I can get behind. Be wary of anyone caught up in their bloodlust.

Key takeaway from #Malfoid is that it's supposed to be pronounced mal-/fɔɪd/, not mal-/fwɒd/ (rhymes with "froide" in French). To which I say that way is dumb and I will continue to read it this way because it is objectively better. If you don't like it, jog on. ipa-reader.com?text=fw%C9%92d

Damn this is awesome

He says as though there aren't elections...

I voted for Trump 3x. here is why I think the Democrats are God

John Ossoff is the Pete Buttigieg of Beto O'Rourkes

People are so damn weird about rocket boy's "demo". It's like if you kept eating something you hate...and then went back for seconds, thirds, and complaining to your friends how bad it is as they too hate eat it too. Intentionally avoiding naming names because the sooner I can move on, the better.

Watched the SpaceX videos about Starship on a flight. Everyone shown is so young. From engineers to managers to directors shown, I think I only saw one person with grey on the dome.

Looks like you're trying to affect meaningful change using a method that demands certain trade-offs. I'm sorry, but that is prohibited. Have you considered just wishing real hard for a perfect solution instead?

Can your household afford an extra $1,967 in extra costs? According to the National Taxpayers Union Foundation, that's exactly how much Donald Trump's tariffs have cost every single North Carolina household since January 2025. Full report: https://tariffs.org/north-carolina/

That's a nice thought, but unless people get out and vote blue, it can't happen.

Still funny.

More proof Mamdani is an Abundance candidate

Irrefutable proof that starship is DOOMED. If they can't keep the tiles for 20+ days at sea, there's no way it can survive reentry.

Expand the labor pool, you cowards. Immigrants deserve rights too.

Just got an advertisement from a big credit card company detailing that credit cards charge interest and you can avoid interest by paying off the card each month. Then advertised a starter card with no annual fees and cash back. Really makes you think, doesn't it...

cool shell formation on my beach walk

Some people are truly unhinged. Spaceflight is for everyone, not just Americans.

Starship is also operating on a much smaller budget. Apollo cost about $250 billion for those flights. Starship has only cost $18 billion. Nevermind that SpaceX intentionally targets ~96% of orbit so they don't go over populated areas.

Welp I've burned through all of my allotment of Copilot tokens at work making silly images. Guess it's time to do actual work.

Many such cases.

Any time you see someone talking about growing class consciousness or how people are embracing socialism, remember that basically understands what it is.

Americans really shouldn't be so secretive with finances with their social circles; financial literacy & support is very important. A group of friends shared our finances (income, spending, savings, retirement goals) and I think it was very healthy to know we're basically all in the same situation

Democrat’s Promise: “Here’s what I can do for you.” Republican’s Promise: “Here’s what I can do to them.” See the difference?

Remembered a funny little startup from days past: Unit of Work. It was a consulting firm that would help people organize and form unions. The funny part is that it was almost universally reviled on the left because capitalism subsumes all criticism or something. 🦀🦀

Happy Independence Day. May it happen today.

40 years later, I'm *still* thinking about alligators when I see a > or < sign

If you were assembling a list of essential books on cities and how they work, what would be on it?

While it does have its problems, I could see what Vaughan (comic) and Clark (show) were going for with Y The Last Man. I greatly enjoyed it and still wish it hadn't been cancelled.

Let’s focus on beating up MAGA and not-each other

AI images are a great filter for people who actually care about an issue vs slacktivists. Case in point.

Going through a spec sheet for work and it has an environmental impact measurement. Total carbon footprint: 2,252 kg CO2 equivalent. Of which 2237 kg is from usage. >99% of the carbon footprint is from burning carbon to power it. This is why energy policy matters so much.

Remember LGBT = Quality In Aerospace +

Happy election day to everyone living in Alabama, Georgia, Idaho, Kentucky, Oregon, and Pennsylvania. Your vote will count much more today than it will count on most other days, so go freaking vote if you live in one of these states.

Some adults in this thread have forgotten what it was like to be a kid at an airshow. Instilling a sense of wonder & curiosity on the youth is worth it.

Put 👏 pseudoephedrine 👏 back 👏 in 👏 cough 👏 syrup

Crazy to me that people will call MGP a traitor for not voting as a progressive...when her district looks like *this*. It's not like the WA-1 where Republicans are DOA. The default is a MAGA Republican for WA-3. Political reality matters.

Remember, looking at people's laptops on flights is cheap entertainment!

Just got notified that the employee stock plan at work starts tomorrow. May the market dip 50% for a few days again in this quarter!
