NATO leaders not accepting the gift of a customized revolver from Turkey at the NATO summit and leaving them in Ankara (UK and Germany) or handing them over to their police back home (Belgium and Canada) is impressively boring and lame. Modern officialdom can drain the romance out of anything.

Bernard Montgomery once picked up a hitchhiking boy during WWII.

He was wearing his full dress uniform and asked, "Do you know who I am?" But the boy did not

"I’m a Field Marshal."

The boy replied, "Oh, I want to go into agriculture too! Do you drive a tractor?"

Montgomery shot back "No, I kill people!" And I forget if the kid screamed to be let out or if he was impressed but the moral of the story is the same that even though Monty was a gentleman's gentleman he knew what business he was in.

No, the below gun was obviously not loaded as the OP says, but the idea that this gun has since been turned over to authorities because it's scary, even though they ostensible purpose of NATO is to wage war (hint - kill people) makes me think European leaders may not know what business they're in the way Monty did.

When they try to justify the surveillance state by saying “it’s for your safety” (aside from that being a bitchass reason to surrender your rights in the first place), understand that this redcoat shit is what they mean. Fireworks on the 4th of July.

@EvansRyan202 Like he always does. Overstating

@McCainJack I mean Jack, it looks magnificent and I trust Denis to come through. But I am not as locked into it matching Messiah as long as the themes match.

Humans have evolved for 300,000 years. Whether through cosmic curiosity or some deity's divine will, who knows.

We've invented writing. Agriculture. Math. Music. Smoked brisket. We've destroyed, created, and discovered.

And what do we have to show for it - private equity.

When you deep dive into Stuart’s march leading to Gettysburg it really is hilarious like dude what were you doing in Eldersburg, Maryland?

[not a hornets fan @BrosephSZN]

DUNE putting out a full trilogy in 5 years is absolutely insane for modern franchise filmmaking like when is the next time we will get a series with this level of quality in such a short timespan

Yeah, except Flock didn’t actually save that child at all. Make sure you shine that corpo boot with your tongue extra.

I was my HS team’s goalkeeper. I was named team MVP, made All-District, All-State, and was the MVP Goalkeeper at 3 different tournaments.

I tried out for club teams but had to turn down because I couldn’t afford to pay thousands of dollars.

I’m sure we are missing out on plenty of players that were even better and more talented than me.

This has to change if we want to be the best.

You're not prepared for the maelstrom of automated, dehumanized violence the remaining three quarters of this damned century will contain. Students in the next century will view the horrors attributed to the mechanization of WW1 with the same disconnect as the advent of stirrups

And all it costs us are our inherit rights, being treated like pre-criminals, and getting stalked by random perv cops

Fuck you, Garrett

[Colby Andrews @ColbyA_10]

Abandoned his team last summer to “get ready for a WC year” then proceeded to play zero full games at the WC and talk about getting rest now. Give the keys to Tillman and let this guy “rest” far away from the USMNT. Should never be in Dempsey/Donovan convos ever again.

[Masters Burner @ANGC_burner]

I think the worst thing about this Round of 16 loss that just hit me is we have to qualify through CONCACAF again for the next Cup

You never consented to becoming a data point in a nationwide movement database.

Yet every drive to work, every doctor’s office, every protest, every church, every late-night trip to see family can be logged, stored, searched, and shared… despite you never being suspected of a crime.

The defense is always the same:
“Your license plate is public.”

Seeing something isn’t the same as recording it.
Recording it isn’t the same as indexing it.
Indexing it isn’t the same as building a database of innocent people’s movements.

That doesn’t mean the government should build a permanent record of everywhere you’ve been.

It’s about replacing targeted policing with mass surveillance. Rights don’t disappear because software made surveillance cheap.

If that sentence doesn’t bother you, you’ve accepted something previous generations would have fought to stop.

[Vero @Vero_atLast]

Historical dramas like John Adams, Death by Lightning, and the Theodore Roosevelt one, all are better than most things you can access.

Your History is more entertaining than fiction.

“Beer too cold” is like the third part in the trinity of “steak too juicy lobster too buttery” and I can’t believe it was said sincerely

[Jacopo della Quercia @Jacopo_della_Q]

Confederates were heroes in film for decades because you literally couldn't print or teach bad things about them—or nice things about Lincoln—in southern classrooms.

The Confederacy was a terrible government, a worse military, and a stupid, shameful, hateful people.

Fuck 'em.
