TANK vs TESLA "We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again" - ⁠WW2 veteran Ken, 98, in the tank

Surprised not to see any major news outlets picking this up. Yesterday the African Space Agency officially launched and @esa.int is there on the ground floor. spaceinafrica.com/2025/04/20/a...

A film that takes place where you're from.

Ocean's Eleven (2001)

Taking my mind off this week's turmoil by going to see the best Star Trek movie in all its glory - Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan - Director's Cut - in the cinema tonight. #startrek

UK: Brexit is the biggest act of economic self harm any country will ever perform USA: Hold my beer...

There is no substitute for competence. None. No amount of flim-flam or circus performance can disguise the failures of this administration. #tarriffs www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

Teen Warned Not To Accept Group Chat Invites From National Security Advisors She Doesn’t Know

American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. theatln.tc/IuULQFiY

No thanks. I'm ready to ditch #Windows11 altogether since almost all of my use requirements can be satisfied by Linux and open source software. Targeting Windows 10 users with spammy messages in their OS is a flagrant monopolistic and dodgy act. www.xda-developers.com/microsoft-bu...

I have turned my Threads account private. If/when @Bluesky implement that feature I will do the same here. I am opinionated and want to continue to be able to speak out, but the current political climate demands that I take sensible precautions. I don't want to self-censor what I say online.

Ugh. That is no coincidence. Not that it matters really, but tacky to number the jet the same as the 47th President who authorized it. Bit obvious, Boeing.

Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who is disgusted by convicted felon trump, trying to destroy the Department of Education without Congress. He's the dumbest person in America, and now it makes perfect sense why he loves the "poorly educated." What a lawless, mindless disgrace.

Very sad news. Supporting Jordan Grand Prix in F1 was one of the highlights of my childhood. Rest in peace, EJ. #EddieJordan

This is Onyx.

Until the Democrats as a whole get their act together and eject the #vichydemocrats from leadership positions, the party cannot count on either my vote or my financial support. If they do not grow a spine, we need to form a new political organization that better represents our ideals.

#VichyDemocrats “You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go.”

I’m going to take this a step further: If you vote no on cloture, but do not publicly call for Schumer’s resignation, sit down until you have something worthwhile to say.

The fact congressional Democrats have not hired three dozen D&D rules lawyers with oppositional defiant disorder and turned them loose on parliamentary procedure with the goal of maximum obstruction is such a fucking missed opportunity

This letter appeared in the Bloomsburg PA Press Enterprise this morning. I am assured the writer is who he purports to be, an Air Force veteran.

@chriswarcraft.bsky.social I need your help! I'm fighting a book ban in my school district in Minnesota, would you be willing to sign my petition and share it with anyone else who is outraged by books being pulled from our schools? www.fightforthefirst.org/petitions/st...

Hard to believe it's been 10 years. Gone but never forgotten. GNU Sir Terry. #GNU #TerryPratchett #Discworld #SpeakHisName

Terry Pratchett is not truly gone—not while his words are read, his jokes are enjoyed, and his name is spoken. The Disc spins on, his legacy intact. Somewhere, Death nods, the Librarian turns a page, and Nanny raises a banana daiquiri. #GNUTerryPratchett #StillSpoken #Discworld #TerryPratchett #GNU

Currently being called ableist on Threads for my opposition to Generative AI because evidently stealing from disabled artists and authors is Actually Good when it's done by socialists because all property is bad and theft is Only Bad when corporations do it. 🤦

No one is OK right now. At least, no one with working empathy and a knowledge of History who’s paying attention. It is an emotional impossibility to be living in days like one’s we’re in here and to be fully unaffected. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/its-ok-if-...
