Me sitting in the CIC of the USS Defiant as a third DF-21 slams into us because, the PLARF doesnt know how inspire 13 year old boys.

"Your force design fails to take into account childlike wonder" is so fucking stupid I'm astounded this is the first time it's come up.

"Years and years ago, there was a production of The Tempest, out of doors, at an Oxford college on a lawn, which was the stage, and the lawn went back towards the lake in the grounds of the college, and the play began in natural light. But as it developed, and as it became time for Ariel to say his farewell to the world of The Tempest, the evening had started to close in and there was some artificial lighting coming on. And as Ariel uttered his last speech, he turned and he ran across the grass, and he got to the edge of the lake and he just kept running across the top of the water — the producer having thoughtfully provided a kind of walkway an inch beneath the water. And you could see and you could hear the plish, plash as he ran away from you across the top of the lake, until the gloom enveloped him and he disappeared from your view. And as he did so, from the further shore, a firework rocket was ignited, and it went whoosh into the air, and high up there it burst into lots of sparks, and all the sparks went out, and he had gone. "When you look up the stage directions, it says, 'Exit Ariel.”

The concrete facade of the Blue Cross Blue Shield building with reflections of light from surrounding glassy buildings

It’s #BrutalMonday! Today’s feature the recently landmarked Blue Cross Blue Shield building in Boston by Paul Rudolph. This building is Rudolph’s reaction to the international style popping up nationwide, aiming to make office buildings not boring. We think he succeeded @paulrudolphinst.bsky.social

Throwback to the time we sat our cats down and told them we were adopting a dog. I cannot stress enough that this is the ACTUAL picture from that conversation 🤣

A map of flight paths emanating from breeding colony of gulls, with this caption: Early on, LifeWatch noticed something odd. Most gulls were making daily trips to Mouscron, a city on the French border 65 km away. They went to investigate and found the birds bingeing on discarded snacks at the Roger & Roger potato factory.
