Good. Fuck X, and fuck Musk.

Going at speeds that simulate a couple of thousand Gs and then turning on a dime? Going effortlessly from the air into the ocean and then traveling underwater at the speed of a Russian torpedo? And back in the 1980s? C'mon, seriously! No, none of that can be explained by it being a powerful quadcopter.

Except that some of the objects reported by military personnel defied our current understanding of the laws of physics. Objects being tracked moving in ways that would ensure thousands of Gs, and then turning on a dime. And showing no signs of stress, whereas an F16 starts going through structural failure around 17 Gs.

And this isn't a new thing. Some of the craft moving at insane rates were reported by credible military witnesses back in the 1950s and '60s.

If we're going to trust that the witnesses know what they are talking about (and I we have no reason to not), then we need to also trust that they aren't just being hoodwinked by skunkworks type human/terrestrial vehicles. These guys aren't ignorant, superstitious yokels. They are people of science who have tried to find rational explanations, but none makes sense.

If so they are seeing are cutting-edge human technology then there is a massive disconnect in what DARPA or whoever are coming up with and what is available to the public. Like conventionally hundreds of years of technological progress difference.

The poor whale shot itself in the back of the head twice before jumping off the roof of a 20 storey building. As it's tradition with those who have offended Putin.

Haha, I was going to post this very meme.

I finally moved completely over from Chrome to Firefox this weekend. Fuck Edge, and fuck Chrome.

This post was reported, and while we don't usually allow political content, I'm leaving it up because it has been framed in a way that is relevant to Dune lore.

I can see how the Saudis would be pretty happy about Trump coming in again. He and his family got pretty cozy with them the first time. And Trump is very hostile to Iran, who are Saudi Arabia's main rival in that part of the Muslim world.

"Just so you know, I have halitosis."

'Tis true

I remember when I first heard about it at the time. I went out to the Amazon reviews page for that toy, and there were quite a few clueless, naive reviews that had me pretty much crying with laughter. After a few weeks Amazon removed so the best ones. I'm glad some of them got captured for posterity.

I feel bad for the guy's kids. Not only are they now feeling the brunt of uncensored discrimination. But they also have a complete fuckwit for a father.

Congratulations to that guy. We're through the 'fucked around' party. Welcome to the 'found out' part.
