The Koreans in Mexico are going to invent binge drinking methods that will advance the craft by decades in mere weeks

[Blaise Schaefer @blaiseschaefer]

this is a loser take sorry

[Alex Tabarrok @ATabarrok]

Yes, military flyovers look cool. But taxpayer-funded military hype for private sports events is still weird—and a little creepy.

[Blaise Schaefer @blaiseschaefer]

everyone in the eurofighter program is flying F-35s as well soooooo

How to build successfully a European fighter jet

1. Start
2. Ignore France
3. End with success

[Blaise Schaefer @blaiseschaefer]

everytime this guy editorializes he reveals he is a completely partisan hack

[Jake Sherman @JakeSherman]

Zohran Mamdani, the mayor of New York City, endorses against Adriano Espaillat, the chair of the CHC. Where is the House Democratic leadership expressing their outrage?

[Blaise Schaefer @blaiseschaefer]

Good luck overcoming Good Faith and Credit clause here. Bozo anti-constitutionalists

[Joe Bingham @teafortillerman]

Florida is left with two remaining options to protect its citizens:

(1) invade and occupy California militarily; or

(2) stop recognizing California CDLs, and let California move to file a complaint against it at SCOTUS.

Door (2) looks good to me.

[Blaise Schaefer @blaiseschaefer]

@noisycontrarian @2024dion I deeply appreciate its location - it’s still a very solid airport - but the lack of additional room has greatly limited options for expansion and renovation. that parts undeniable

[Blaise Schaefer @blaiseschaefer]

man I simply have no time for reasonable conversation for people who think 200k isn’t enough

[Michael MacDonald 🍁 @MikeMacMike01]

@matt_slotnick 1/2 goes to income tax and all the various other taxes. Depending on where you live and your lifestyle, there isn't a whole lot left over for investing and retirement savings. It's good, but it's not a full $400K free and clear.

I love when fellow libs are completely out of touch

[James Raab 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @JamesRaxz]

@penguin_amir The American public absolutely would want to come to Taiwan's defense. But they aren't in the driver's seat. Trump is.

[Blaise Schaefer @blaiseschaefer]

roads are the most iconic part of America obviously

[kicole nidman @ferald_gord]

as an aside, but why is the new york times so hellbent on putting roads underneath political maps. they do the same thing for election results! is it an aesthetic choice?

[Blaise Schaefer @blaiseschaefer]

these people love to act like they are the “tough men who make good times” and then it turns out they’re actually incredibly weak in every way

[Clint Warren-Davey @Clint_Davey1]

@rainbowjoe6 Not fight a world war over it.

[meg @kryzesyndulla]

happy may the 4th be with you to my one and only kleya marki who lived to see the sunrise on yavin IV.

had to add the movies caveat or 9 of the top 10 would be Andor (1 spot for Luke and two moons)

[Matthew Zeitlin @MattZeitlin]

what's the best non action star wars scene (movies only). i kinda think it's darth plagueis the wise? it's the one i rewatch the most that's for sure

[Blaise Schaefer @blaiseschaefer]

They didn’t waste ammo they just kept shooting bushes

[Clint Warren-Davey @Clint_Davey1]

Rhodesian troops in the Bush War used a kind of reconaissance by fire known as "Drake shooting".

Instead of waiting for the enemy to reveal themselves, troops would proactively shoot into likely hiding spots: bases of trees, rocks, thickets or anthills.

The goal was to kill concealed insurgents without first needing a clear visual on them.

They didn't waste ammo. Riflemen fired "double taps" or controlled semi-auto shots up to 12 inches off the ground.

This targeted legs and feet or ricocheted debris upward into the enemy's face and body.

If the enemy flinched, moved, or returned fire, it instantly revealed their position for accurate follow-up shots.

This was a very effective counter-insurgent tactic for the terrain they were fighting in.

@VicVijayakumar I *believe* this is an EU requirement

[Blaise Schaefer @blaiseschaefer]

@Truthful_ast having recently discovered ksptwt I now can’t tell when accounts are posting highly stylized art or actual KSP photography or actual official models lmao makes me laugh

[Blaise Schaefer @blaiseschaefer]

that was the whole constellation program until they (Royal “they” here - problems began far before this admin) blew that up

[Hunter Stires @HunterStires]

The focus is and needs to be on getting the world class allied players to invest here in America. Our most powerful source of leverage to get them to do that is access to the USG shipbuilding market. Outsourcing and investment are diametrically opposed. We can get investment, but then we cannot agree to outsource; if we agree to outsource, we will not get investment because the investment dollars will flow anywhere and everywhere but America to the lowest cost highest profit options we allow to serve the USG market.

WHO DESTROYED THESE JOBS

[Ashley Schapitl @AshleySchapitl]

This is the ball game for the mayor’s race. Every idea the candidates put forward should be viewed through the lens of making it easier to do business and grow our economy. Nothing else matters if we can’t create jobs and keep residents in the District.

[Blaise Schaefer @blaiseschaefer]

Oh are we making shit up tonight

Most of the third world would likely still be colonies if not for the Soviet Union

“Costs me nothing” lmao no buddy I would lose the opportunity to rip seats out of your cold hearted hands

[The🐰FOO @PolitiBunny]

Dear Virginians who vote for Democrats,

I know you and I don’t typically agree on much, but I wanted to reach out today and ask you to please vote no to gerrymandering Virginia. I realize your first instinct is to vote against me and others like me, and I get that.

I do.

But voting no honestly costs you nothing and only protects our home from being used as a political pawn.

I believe Democrat leaders take you for granted and assume you’d give your own state to them if they said so.

I want to believe that you love your state and your neighbors more than outside politicians who don’t care about you or our state, they just care about winning.

I need to believe you see this for what it has been from the beginning.

❗️They’re not leveling the playing field.
❗️This would destroy our fair maps.

If you’ve gotten this far, thank you for reading and for your consideration.

Please, vote no.
