@EagleGryphon Have to say action selection is my favourite mechanic.

If you ever want to vote again, if you want to live in a country where one day your children and grandchildren can vote, you need to vote for Harris this November.

Trump's allies are selling out Ukraine in exchange for Russian backing in the election. 1/

Last January, I noticed something peculiar in my 2yo’s bedroom that - after a year of obsessive reporting - led me to a profound cosmic revelation about what’s even possible in our universe. A 🧵.

@Violent_Memo As booked you should have “On the Psychology of Military Incompetence” by Norman F. Dixon.

@CraigBaird Thanks for bringing this story to light. #proudEngineer

Somebody asked me today, "Do you think we'll ever get past this?"

I answered, "We don't eat bread for eight days because we're still mad at Raamses II."

A very remarkable thought from Garry Kasparov in response to Musk, who disabled Starlink in Crimea last year to disrupt Ukraine's strike on the Russian fleet.

“Putin backs down when confronted with force & strikes when he feels safe”, he wrote.

“Exposing how dangerous it is to have fickle, misinformed oligarchs with leverage over US national security. SpaceX & Starlink are marvelous, but if Musk's delusional "anti-war" agenda leads him to interfere with their services to Russia's advantage, it's a huge risk.

Russian ships in the Black Sea and bases around it launch missiles into Ukrainian marketplaces and destroy vital shipping and food processing facilities, threatening millions with starvation. But according to Musk, the real danger is Ukrainian defending itself?

The provocation fallacy has been refuted many times, recently by Prigozhin's mutiny. Putin backs down when confronted with force & strikes when he feels safe. Ukraine has hit occupied Crimea & Russian sites repeatedly. Escalation risks rise when Putin is winning, not losing.” he wrote.

Dolores 0'Riordan.
She would have been 52 today.
When she - and the Cranberries - hit the scene in the mid-90s, it was a breath of fresh air…
Radio was very male dominated.
Dolores’ voice cut through all that. And what a voice.

[Craig Baird - Canadian History Ehx @CraigBaird]

Today in 1944, Rocky Johnson was born in Amherst, Nova Scotia.
The descendant of Black Loyalists, he won several wrestling titles. He & Tony Atlas were the 1st Black champions in WWE history.
He was also the father of wrestler & actor, Dwayne Johnson.
He died in 2020.

Why I still visit physical bookstores. I can find anything I'm looking for on Amazon. Bookstores are where I find what I wasn't looking for.

[CyberFacet @CyberFacet]

@Violent_Memo I concur with your assessment

[Canadian Crown 🇨🇦 @Canadian_Crown]

In 1940, a secret operation was underway to turn Canada 🇨🇦 into a surrogate Britain in the event of Nazi invasion. British gold was shipped to Montreal & Hatley Castle in Victoria would replace Buckingham Palace. The British Empire would continue the fight from Canada.

The pitch that the CAF can pay all development costs for a platform that does not exist ending up with an orphan fleet that nobody else uses, as opposed to buying the world class standard used by all other 5 Eyes

This is why we can't have nice things

@Violent_Memo And used as an intro quote from one of my favourite SciFi authors.

@blackcloudsix It took Boeing to get the P-8A to where it is now; why would we think it would take Bombardier any less time to get to the same place?

[CyberFacet @CyberFacet]

I hope Cananadian ambivalence will prevail and the politicians will stay away and leave it to the professionals. Bombardier has never designed a weapons platform, the taxpayer shouldn't be backing this R&D project. We saw how long it took them to get the C-series off the ground.

[Black Cloud Six @blackcloudsix]

The avalanche of BS from Bombardier continues. The answer should be: call us when it's dropped a torpedo on a target (live) and you've sold it to an ally.

What if Wes Anderson directed The Lord of the Rings? We asked the community which video they want to see next and Lord of the Rings took the cake… or should we say Elven bread. We hope you enjoy this Midjourney to Middle-Earth.
