I remember taking a college class where the professor said before the world wars if you asked Americans what made their country unique they would usually talk about freedom, liberty, or the constitution, whereas Germans were likely to say “we have a really good military.”

Reminds me of how Republican President and Chief Justice William Howard Taft was a Unitarian. Ain't no way a Unitarian is getting through a Republican presidential primary nowadays.

Bruce Willis should have been nominated for 12 Monkeys. Always thought that the Academy was holding a grudge because of his films like Hudson Hawk

Look at the bright side. When Jesus still doesn't return after war with Iran, we are supposed to stone them all for false prophesy. Their own book says so.

These laws are an admission that they don't really believe in personal liberty. They merely want us to conform to their belief system, b/c they find validation for their beliefs through others, not themselves. They claim to believe in personal liberty, but they are just another type of collectivist

When Worf was a child, he saw a bike at a neighborhood garage sale for 5 strips of latinum. He was in a real quandary. Should he challenge the bike's owner to ritual combat with the bike as reward? Or should he haggle to buy the bike for 2 strips of latinum?

Two black and white photos of a soldier who has received a facial injury during World War I. In the first photo, his injuries are on display. In the second photo, he is wearing a facial prosthetic (mask) that covers his injuries.

Facial prosthesis, c.1917. THREAD for #InternationalWomensDay🧵

From the moment the first machine gun rang out over the Western Front, one thing was clear: mankind’s military technology had wildly surpassed its medical capabilities. Bodies were battered, gouged, hacked, and gassed. /1

A knock on the window and a glimpse of America’s surveillance future “This is taking a big and very scary step toward a kind of totalitarian checkpoint society,” a privacy advocate warns in a special France 24–Mother Jones report.

License plate readers. Cellphone location data. Social media monitoring. Now, real-time facial recognition on the street.

DHS is building a surveillance apparatus—and you're probably already in it.

Our latest with @france24.com:

The Fargo Woodchippers. It’s like a baseball player was fed into a woodchipper but not really its an animated logo style.

Some of the Minor League promo team names are ok but sometimes they nail it.
