@uncle_deluge They actually made an entire movie that lightly touches on the engineering & societal changes necessary to support a miniturized society. Iirc the size has to do with practicality. Not quite ant sized because they only shrink to 5 inches, but its still fun. Its called Downsizing
We are back to bombing Iran during the ceasefire for the Iran war that is not a war because Iran bombed a vessel for crossing the Strait of Hormuz that they don’t control yet apparently control.
Not sure how they bombed the vessel because we have totally and completely obliterated their military and beat them in the war that is not a war like 40 times now.
I’m so glad that Trump ran for president to end forever foreign wars otherwise I might start thinking this war that is not a war that we won like 40 times is starting to turn into another forever foreign war in the Middle East.
Good thing Pete Hegseth, Secretary of the Department of Defense, I mean War, is headed to Israel to take orders from, I mean ask for advice, on how to totally wipe out Iran, I mean bring peace.
I’m totally sure no one in the executive branch or donors will do any sort of insider trading based on super duper secret military decisions.
You know the kind based on intelligence that Congress is going to fuse with Israel’s military after they all vote to pass the National Defense (war) Authorization Act.
Because this is exactly what we all voted for when we said Make America Great Again.
No.
Fucking.
No.
This is unnacceptable. We do not have to cave to these fucking greedy psychos who wanna use up all of our electricity and water just to spy on us and replace us and feed us fucking slop.
Fuck these people. Fuck data centers. Fuck AI. FUCK THIS WHOLE SYSTEM!
SOMEONE BUILT WORDLE BUT FOR MINI GOLF AND IT IS QUIETLY BECOMING MY FAVORITE MORNING RITUAL
it's called https://t.co/uNM5Of4MOd.
you open the tab and there is one mini golf hole. that's the whole game. one new hole every midnight pacific. same hole for everyone in the world. your first finish counts.
you click the ball, drag back like a slingshot, let go. the further you pull, the harder you hit.
today's hole is called "Up and around." it's an S-shaped tropical island floating in dark teal water, with cross-barriers and one little wooden ramp that i ricocheted off three times in a row. par 6.
at the top of the screen, a live ticker scrolls past in real time:
> someone holed 6/6 · par
> someone holed 5/6 · birdie
> someone holed 11/6 · +5
real strangers are putting on the same hole as you. you can see the ghost rings of where their balls travelled, in cyan and purple and pink.
when you finish, you get a wordle-style share card. emoji result. takes one tap to drop into a group chat.
PC Gamer just wrote a whole love letter to it. the writer admits they scored a 20 on a par 12. they were thrilled.
the developer goes by https://t.co/0LJJsQnIeY. the 3D models are from Kenney, a guy who has been releasing free CC0 game assets for over a decade.

the about page says it in one sentence: "Same hole for everyone, new one at midnight Pacific, and your first finish is your score. That's the whole game."
we are 35 days into the project and the calendar archive lets you play every single previous hole.
i don't know why this is so satisfying. i just know i was supposed to be writing this post and i kept reopening the tab.
the internet is healing.
This is INSANE 🌪️ The Dominator gets caught in a suction vortex and spun 360° 😵💫
A new In the Eye of the Storm: Chasers starts now! #EyeoftheStormChasers
We just said goodbye to our good friends Thomas and Carolyn Massie.
The civil war in the Republican Party is successfully gutting the true America Firsters, like myself, Thomas and others.
But I don’t think most Americans realize the extent of what’s happening, how bad it is, and what it’s going to produce.
After taking the hard principled stand against war with Iran in June 2025 and releasing the Epstein files, the neocon controlled Republican establishment now backed by the President set out to destroy us.
Thomas and I took two different routes but ended up in the same place, which delivered a message to our colleagues to never go against the President even on issues he himself promised to do and at the same time delivered the louder stronger message to the American people that no matter what they say on tv, rally stages, committee hearings, campaign ads, or stump speeches, Republicans and Trump have overwhelmingly rejected America First and will do anything possible to cut the head off of anyone who tries to fly its banner.
The extent and extremes to which they have gone should shock everyone.
For me, I was Trump’s loudest champion for years supporting him when no one else would, voting with him 98% of the time, and he called me a traitor for releasing the Epstein files, refusing to support war with Iran, and fighting against the White House’s bad policies that only serve their donors like a 10 year moratorium on state rights to regulate and make laws on AI and data centers.
And yet my perfect conservative voting record, legislative accomplishments like the House passing my articles of impeachment of Biden’s DHS Secretary that oversaw the invasion of our country, passing my bill making it a felony to trans children under 18, my work as DOGE Chair defunding waste fraud and abuse and so much more, suddenly meant nothing to low educated Republicans that are easily manipulated by bot armies and bought and paid for social media influencers that spread absurd lies about me.
After supporting the Republican Party by paying all of my dues to the NRCC every Congress, endorsing and campaigning for Republican candidates, and spending millions and traveling the country to get Trump elected, to be called a traitor and not a single Republican (even the ones I helped get elected like JD Vance and others) not to utter a word of public support for me, it became abundantly clear that the Republican Party is something I can no longer support and want nothing to do with.
None of my policy views have changed, but everything changed about the man I supported to be president and the party I supported to gain the majority.
They are all under full capture and control.
And if you refuse to be captured and controlled with them, then their captors will set out to kill you, and the party sits in silence while it happens.
What they just did to Thomas Massie is unforgivable. I saw it all coming early, had just watched my friend Charlie Kirk assassinated, and knew they were going to do all of it and probably worse to me too, so I refused to allow it to happen to me, my family, and my district, so I resigned.
But Thomas stayed in the fight and they slaughtered him with tens of millions of foreign donor dollars that fueled lies, slander, character assassination, and even broke their own laws to do it.
They told lies to Kentucky’s 4th district that Massie had turned into a liberal Democrat, voting for Democrat policies, and even made vicious lying illegal AI ads showing him in a sexual relationship with AOC and Ilhan Omar.
Even though ALL of it was horrific lies proven wrong with his own 14 year impeccable America First liberty driven voting record, naive older voters in his district were easily fooled by the AIPAC and Israel funded campaign lies, and voted for a new candidate who refused every single debate with Thomas Massie and has no voting record to prove what he stands for at all.
The capture is complete.
What will you do about it?
