Leaders from a number of nations who lost service members in the war in Afghanistan have sharply criticized Trump’s assertion that they stayed back from the front lines. But let’s be clear here – *these leaders are purporting to speak on behalf of the fallen.*
The reality is that nobody who gave their life in Afghanistan – literally not a single man or woman – has seen fit to break their silence in order to contradict the President on this.
Deep Space 9 is great, but the Federations reaction to the Wormhole is clearly not how it would work in reality.
The wormhole itself would become the greatest scientific study in history. Very clearly.
And the fact that it is inhabited by non-linear time aliens would also be the greatest scientific study in history.
The interesting thing is that the non-linear aliens also kind of breaks science. Science fundamentally relies on linear time. Cause and effect, reproducibility etc

I am the giant whose shoulders are stood on
Trump slightly less than two weeks ago on social media: “Iranians, help is on the way!”
Trump now:

So Garak is openly gay, there is zero subtext, I love it. I love how open it is. Also Kira is a very interesting experience.
Trump’s like that kid who ruins the “don’t abuse and it’s cool” policy for an entire office
You just know post Trump, politicians won’t be allowed to own anything. It’ll be like the priesthood.
You’ll have to take a vow of poverty before being sworn into office
Are there any NL stoners or are they all Bernie bros

FYI this isn’t some nobody, this is the next attorney-general in Texas openly spreading vicious hate against Indian Americans. The Republican Party is a white nationalist party

Character at the end of a horror movie: Holy shit I’m alive, I just narrowly survived a scenario beyond my wildest nightmares holy shit thank God I’m alive holy shit yes I made it
Redditors: Now why would they be happy at this moment given that they will soon be experiencing LEGAL TROUBLES as a result of the events of the movie? Quite a foolish oversight from the writing department…
new dt 🥺 same me 🫠

I just want cons to taste a fraction of actual “that’s it, we’re no longer playing nice”
Leaders from a number of nations who lost service members in the great war have sharply criticized Trump’s assertion that they stayed back from the front lines. But let’s be clear here – *these leaders are purporting to speak on behalf of the fallen.*
The reality is that nobody who gave their life in the 1910s – literally not a single man or woman – has seen fit to break their silence in order to contradict the President on this.

Did they have alcohol in the Garden of Eden? Because if they didn’t then eating the fruit was totally worth it.
You really can’t make this shit up lmao, turns out Nick Shirley, the man who accused Somalis collectively of fraud, has been defrauding people himself in his spare time

Crazy how Canada allows 49k EVs into the country and a select number of the same American users appear again and again on threads about Canada’s deals to tell us how China can’t be trusted, you’re just deepening your dependence on them, why do you hate liberal values, etc. As if somehow Canadians buying electric vehicles is the end of Pax Americana.
Not to mention how many of those criticisms could be applied to America as well. And as for China? Well, in Carney’s words, they are indeed are more predictable trading partner, even with their problems regarding international relations.
When the final DT happens will we know it’s gonna be the last one or will there just be a day where no new DT shows up?
Control is specifically a video game made for me because it features a badass redhead woman becoming the deep state in a liminal space that doesn’t make sense with infinite lore

The first sticky of the day is going to be cdstephens asking how do we like our Trump fanfic.💀
This is what passes for ‘journalism’ on the right these days. Project Veritas interviews a white nationalist employed at the State Department (probably a recent hire!) who gives his personal opinion that ‘elites’ are engaging in ‘Great Replacement’ and Project Veritas passes this off as some sort of scoop

Well we finished that pivot to Asia pretty fast
Onward and upward to other things I guess
This is so insane. I forgot that there are American troops stationed in DC. So much stupid shit, things that would normally get around the clock coverage barely makes the news
