@flexghost Oh God, those things were EVERYWHERE! And yes, people did really.

@yogthos I just want to see white western tears as they realize their racial fantasies held them back.

Of course I won't see them. I'll see instead western guns and bombs as they take out their frustration on anybody that doesn't look like them.

@v_claire @CindyWeinstein @jeffowski Ever notice that he always wears a tie?

There's a reason for this.

It keeps the foreskin down.

@yogthos Next step: reusable heavy booster. Let Kaptain Ketamine keep blowing up his little janky toys while real engineers get the job done.

We made a comic about textbooks.

@yogthos Now for the fun part.

This is the *third* Chinese commercial enterprise that has made such a test and succeeded.

Third.

1. LandSpace in September 2024.

2. iSpace in March 2025.

3. Sepoch in May 2025.

Three companies now have performed trials of RLVs and iSpace plans to have a full-sized system tested in December of this year.

Decaffeinated thought: Barry Adamson and Tom Waits need to collab on an album.

Call it "Janky Silk".

@Taskerland You know, I would BE THERE for a movie set in modern days where someone carves a huge slice through the mafia over $25,000.

@Taskerland I don't know. I didn't dig; just long enough to find out there were three years' torrents.

@Taskerland I've got all three on the way. I'll be watching them one after the other to see which worked best. (Hint: 1974.)

@Taskerland 1974. 1998. 2009. They really liked this concept, didn't they?

@mrundkvist It's a proud tradition of naming things that are clearly not even slightly intelligent (like not as intelligent as a tree slug!) "Artificial Intelligence" dating back to the 1950s.

@GeePawHill But ... but ... BOTH SIDES! 🙄

@abetterjulie You would expect more ... I don't know ... gleeful cheesiness than that movie delivered, wouldn't you?

@lkanies @metagrrrl @anildash I'll add to this chain. I don't return to sites that pop up a "please subscribe" before I've even had a chance to decide if I *want* to.

@Sunshine When will America's lunatics STOP INTERFERING IN OTHER COUNTRIES!?

Go fix your measles crisis, "Doctor" Oz.

@flexghost I'm not sure why he's expressing surprise at "The fear to speak … in AMERICA!"

Can you guess how anybody who said anything Marxist was treated in the '50s? '60s? '70s? '80s? … Thought control through fear has been a common thread in American culture.

you know you're getting old when you're watching a gangbang video and you find yourself thinking, 'parking for this must've been a nightmare'
