Trump says US Navy sank Iran's warship off the coast of Sri Lanka because "it's more fun" to sink ships than capture them.

maybe I'm focusing on the wrong thing here but this is the wildest shit I've ever heard a white South African say and I study racism for a living

A Big Bertha howitzer made by Krupp on the Western Front, 1914. One of these guns could blast the equivalent of almost 3800 cups of tea more than 9 kilometres in distance.

I don’t just want a cup of tea, I need a Krupp of tea: a giant artillery piece which blasts tea into my face. Artists impression 👇

It's real.

In a hotel room, a brick wall that has obviously had a huge hole repaired

Pretty sure the Kool-Aid man stayed in this hotel room once

Just saw a behind the scenes thing of the Hobbit movies and I thought they just had Benedict Cumberbatch do the voice of Smaug but no, they had him mo-capped and he was in a big room wiggling around the room going hiss hissssss hisssssss and you know no one had a plan for this, it was just like sure

When I was 8 or 9 I bought a cooler full of sodas and upsold them to people in line to buy gas. I should look into that again, more dignified than lawyering.

nobody involved in this shit should ever be forgiven

Beverage menu at Häagen-Dazs showing various over-complicated smoothie, coffee and milkshake monstrosities.

Ice cream shops were built for scooping. You get your scoop, you move your ass down the line, you pay. These increasingly elaborate beverages take forever to make and back up the whole line, which usually doesn’t have much of a spill-over zone. Tell Congress to keep Big Smoothie out of our parlors.

did you consider that, you know, bombing people's kids at school might make them not inclined to acquiesce to your request, or

The inability of very stupid people to understand that other people make their own decisions and do not just react the way you want them to in your ideal scenario remains undefeated in producing generational level shitshows

A lot of people often wonder why elites are A) so focused on Iran being a bad regime (which it is) and B) traditionally do relatively little to Iran given their list of complaints, and then (not unreasonably) figure the complaints are fake. But Iran traditionally gets away light because of... this.

lol I have transited the Strait of Hormuz. Iran used every. Single. US. Transit. As a chance to train with cigarette boats to fuck with warships. Occasionally you'd be sitting inside and hear buckshot rattle off the hull next to your head. They knew it wouldn't get through, they were testing.

"we're on vacation, we're trying to get away from all that" girl you voted for All That

I am convinced that if you asked all the employees in my department how much they use or are enthusiastic about LLMs, it would inversely correlated to performance. The top rated people that I've talked to refuse to use it, the bottom performers use it all the time. AND IT SHOWS.

This is an important fact that everyone should know: Real rednecks historically were and should be antiestablishment socialists who hate cops. This guy explains it more brilliantly than I ever could

When all the other time travelers are busy killing Hitler, I’m gonna take out Laura Ingalls Wilder.

This is an excellent rule for storytelling but also implies that Philip Pullman witnessed the death of God as a boy.

Happy Gary Retrograde everyone!

The next two weeks are the only two weeks out of the year when Gary Numan is older than Gary Oldman

TheCybersmith @thecybersmith.bsk... • 1d • Joined May '23 Birth of a Nation is a misunderstood film, IMO, depiction is not endorsement, and DW Griffith's contributions to cinematography shouldn't be overshadowed by the fact that some people decided to interpret his film as supporting controversial political agendas.

目 TheCybersmith @thecybersmith.bsk... • 2h • Joined May '23 Huh. The film's treatment of Lincoln is surprisingly sympathetic. I think I can see what Griffith was going for, but some of the choices he made really detract from the more nuanced ideas he wanted to put across (why do the black characters speak like that?) 031 04 TheCybersmith @thecybersmith.bsky.social • Joined May '23 THAT'S NOT A TRIAL!

TIL that rats become more emotionally resilient when they are taught how to drive a small vehicle via reddit.com wormpoet Follow op how dare you leave out this photo spaghettisaucerer Follow "bad thing happens to me" *remembers times when i drove around in a little car* "i can do this"

This is cool but I don’t want rats to need emotional resilience I want them to lead soft lives

I'm gonna be so real right now I think we were too harsh on the romans' treatment of these guys

markovchaingang hey you. teenage girl writing in her diary. quit talking about the boy you have a crush on and start writing about the current political situation, the valuation of currencies, and the level of technology your people hold. your diary might be the only piece of evidence our society existed after nuclear war fries all of our data backups. future historians don't need to know about damian, they need at least a secondhand accounts of the great water wars and whether or not your leaders truly did worship a deity called "the free hand of the market" markovchaingang alright, alright. you can talk about the clothes that damian was wearing. but only if you promise to define what each article of clothing actually is, ideally describing the materials they're typically made from also

I’ve definitely thought about buying and storing physical newspapers
