SyFy doing a vile thing where they are playing the worst version of Halloween (Rob Zombie's 2007) followed by the worst version of Halloween II (David Gordon Green's 2021). We're the rights just cheapest this way?

How could Russia destroy 10,000+ satellites? Or even enough of them to seriously degrade capability? I doubt the United States could destroy Starlink. Even if Russia could, it would be a provocation orders of magnitude larger than what they've done before.

The plausible version is threats of sabotage against ground based Musk assets.

[Lyman Stone 石來民 🦬🦬🦬 @lymanstoneky]

So the story I heard is:

Russia lowkey has threatened to destroy the Starlink satellite network and Elon is freaked out, because the threat is plausible.

That would possibly justify scaling back its use.

But if such a threat exists... surely you go public with it right????

20 years ago a low-level FBI agent in a men's wearhouse suit came to the newspaper in Jersey where I was working to conduct a background check on a friend who had gotten a job in the incoming Obama administration.

I knew what question was coming and I didn't want to lie to a fed. But when he asked it all I could think of to say is "Well *I've* never done drugs with [redacted]."

Trump: We were in the midst of negotiating and a lot of stupid people said why aren’t you putting Russian sanctions—

Collins: But you said you didn’t give anything for his release

Trump: If I didn’t do that, you wouldn’t have him coming back.

Collins: So you did give something.

Trump: You don’t know anything. You’re fake news CNN.

Collins: You’re saying you lifted the sanctions in exchange for his release?

Trump: You don’t know what you’re talking about. You’re a low IQ person. You’re a dummy.

The absolute riot of British Sea Power defenders in my replies actually cheers me. It's a sign that maybe that once great nation can sack up and return to its former glory.

Every time I see something like this about the British Navy i think about the fact that the US Navy went toe-to-toe with them in the War of 1812 with like six frigates and a bunch of privateers and it got so bad that the British admiralty forbade ships from engaging American frigates unless they had a two to one advantage.

Good. The Chinese Ministry for State Security employs as many as 800,000 people. Nearly twice the size of the KGB at its Cold War peak.

Exclusive: The Pentagon is looking to build a more robust deep-cover spying program to conduct economic warfare against China and other U.S. competitors, according to people familiar with the initiative. https://t.co/t4aLnUsZA9

The USN won the overwhelming majority of ship to ship engagements against the Royal Navy, and won the two decisive fleet battles at Erie and Champlain. USS President was captured by a squadron of four British ships, including three frigates and a ship of the line. The biggest British naval victory of the war was at Lake Borgne on the approach to New Orleans and it led them right into the teeth of Andrew Motherfucking Jackson.

[Testing @hungemhigh]

I don't really have skin in the game but there's a reason that there was an HMS President.

[Foster @foster_type]

@LeCloudSurfer I had the same thought lol

[Foster @foster_type]

Yes it was most unsporting of us!

[CallMeEzekiel @CallMeEzekielYT]

This is absurdly out-of-context

The British rating system did not have a category for America's unique class of heavy frigates. The 2-1 rule was to compensate for this edge-case

I find you can say "gestalt" instead and sound much smarter and more original.

Fun game, is "a pound of white bread" more about the Slavic or the AI slop part of this bot?

[James Lucas @JamesLucasIT]

A woman with $20 of groceries in the 70s

In 1975, a pound of white bread averaged about 36 cents, a half-gallon of milk about 79 cents, and a dozen eggs about 77 cents. A gallon of gasoline cost roughly 57 cents.
