@jakebennett99 @eljackal71 @OskaArcher @fredstaffordcs I like how this is true even though it sounds ridiculous

[YourFriendtheDragon @YourFrienthDrag]

@darthyucky @nikos_on_yt Given that the S-IIIs were able to get to 300 in a batch by Gamma 1,000 doesn’t seem unreasonable, especially since the UNSC had six years to build that force up after the wars end

[YourFriendtheDragon @YourFrienthDrag]

@nikos_on_yt I disagree. The members of Osiris (minus Locke) were actually really neat. Spartan Ops also deliberately set up the Spartan IVs as fail-able and flawed because it was central to the plot about Spartans representing advancing Human Evolution. It was part of tension with Halsey

[YourFriendtheDragon @YourFrienthDrag]

@darthyucky @nikos_on_yt This feels like a survivor bias thing. We only saw as many as there were because the Infinity was their mobile base of operations. There were so many Spartans there because they were all deployed on Infinity

@chrispy_stockin From what I’ve heard it’s also one of the best studios to work for

Starlink debate is closed, the network is used for military purposes.

@Boxy_FT The US doesn’t have a universal ID, so a voting ID requirement is effectively a poll tax that disenfranchises predominantly minority voters. That’s why voter ID laws are predominantly supported by Republicans since it tends to benefit them without protecting elections

@satofishi The crew of Soyuz 11 beg to differ

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal.

[Talia Jane @taliaotg]

“An olive tree grows in Gracie” seems to be in reference to Haas Mroue’s Beirut Seizures (‘An Olive Tree Grows in Golan Heights’), a collection of poetry featuring themes about displacement, the traumas of violence, of resilience and survival.

@aaiqbal Yes, and Talia’s reference draws from the same classic book ;)

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Last night I planted an olive tree at Gracie Mansion with Palestinian families from Gaza. 

May peace be our future.

[Asad🗽🍎 @AsadFromNYC]

The video ends with the words “an olive tree grows in Gracie”, which NYC lit nerds will recognize as a nod to Betty Smith’s 1943 novel “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.” The Mayor sent a classy message to Netanyahu right as he speaks now while paying homage to classic NYC. Immaculate.
