Revisionism!

Whatever happened to “SERPENTINE”?!?!

So here’s a thread in which a bunch of my friends in the same field as me describe their apparently mandatory spycraft training, and I’m wondering why *I’M* not getting spycraft training!!

Yes and yes!

Yep! And an accurate throw home sends it to the 12th even if it doesn’t beat the runner because the latter missed the plate (the first time).

ROTFLMAO!

ICE: So, give us the identity of the founder of Antifa!

“He lives in Canada, you wouldn’t know him.”

He’s done a ton of space advocacy work with the Planetary Society, so he belongs for sure!

Is that Robert Picardo on the far left?

They gave this guy “98”?!? He pitches like a “67”!

The picture compels me to say:

“Talk to the hand, motherfucker!”

Ooof, another “this hits hard in 2025” moment. 😕

That picture in this context makes me hear <sad_trombone.mp4> in my mind’s ear.

They're going for a "zero-day" coin release. Hardcore!

AVOID THE MEAT WINE!!!

what does an "unconstitutional DEI principle" mean in the context of a tunnel project? what, a black person is going to use it?

*and then I tune in where...

I'm sure they are much better. I haven't actually watched much of the game, but was going by vibes. The Reds were down by 6 or 7 fairly early, and then tune it where they are giving up hit after hit and throwing the ball away. It felt like any of a dozen or so Mets September disasters.

I see that the Sept. 2025 Reds are indistinguishable from the Sept. 2025 Mets...

I mean, pillories are 18th-century law...

Not gonna get involved other than to ask: have you staked out a position on this question?

It me.

Did I mention I’ll be taking Amtrak to Niagara Falls for the #VEXAG Meeting in November? I can either take the “Maple Leaf” or one of the more frequent “Empire Service” trains. 😀

A leading Democrat in the Senate just released an important report documenting how NASA has been working to implement the president's proposed budget, not Congressionally approved funds, in slashing missions. Read more ⬇️
