This was actually a few weeks ago, but it’s always good to see that the US is still capable of producing new weapons. Especially weapons to counter treaty-violating weapons tested by Russia.
The best 17 seconds of your day:
It’s just barely possible that I may have, in passing, dropped subtle hints that I ain’t no spring chicken anymore *AND* that I’m a sci-fi fan from way back. Additionally, I might have let slip a hint or two that I’m not fond of recent efforts by the owners of various franchises and intellectual properties to twist culturally important works to fit new political views and cater to people who actively dislike not only the original properties… but they also basically despise *me.* Over the last decade and a half or so as Hollywood has repeatedly mangled the legacy of Star Trek, Star Wars, Ghostbusters and a bunch of others, the paid shills have cranked out the predictable – and predictably lazy and wrong – message that anyone who doesn’t like turning Han Solo into a joke or Luke Skywalker into a cowardly traitor or crapping on established canon is a “toxic fan.” But it’s hardly news that the fragile egos of the shallow “fans” of the new, revised, ruined versions are the real source of toxicity, as JJ Abrams is finding out after disappointing a bunch of “Reylo” snowflakes with the latest DisneyWars fan-film.
Reylo fans are going to therapy, not eating, & skipping work bc they're "traumatized" Kylo Ren died.
At the TROS premiere, one left hysterical telling a SW actress to "get hit by a car, whore" bc the actress wouldn't yell at JJ in person.

Star Wars actor Joonas Suotamo just called SJW's "fake fans & toxic liars."
Feminists are calling Rey's arc in Rise of Skywalker "abusive to women" & Chewbacca is tired of their agenda. pic.twitter.com/rfzkzX8D9a

Leave it to SJWs to invade what you love, turn it into what *they* want… then set it on fire all while blaming *you.*
Something about this just makes me laugh:
She’s gonna have one hell of a story to tell back home…
Poe’s Law was originally specifically about Creationists:
Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is utterly impossible to parody a Creationist in such a way that someone won’t mistake for the genuine article.
In the 15 years since then, though, it has expanded to cover just about every form of whackery, from religious to political. And it is accurate… parody will often be indistinguishable from the actual crazy. And thus you get this:
I define antisemitism ontologically as a product of white supremacy, making antisemitism by others – Black Hebrew Israelites, Muslims, whoever – impossible.
…Once we understand that the term “antisemitism” applies only to white-on-Jew violence, we realize other terminology must come into play. My suggestions include “economic protest” and “anti-gentrification crusade,” but others are welcome to weigh in with theirs.
The website this was published on, “Preoccupied Territory,” is explicitly a satirical website. But taken out of that context, it reads *exactly* like the sort of woke rubbish you’ll get from “Progressive intellectuals.” For example, it was reproduced in its entirety at jewishpress.com; and even with a single reference up top to the fact that it’s from a satire site, read the comments. A few folks missed that bit and believe that this is the current state of Progressive thought. And the thing is, they’re not far wrong.
It could prove entertaining if Reddit or 4chan or some such snagged this article and posted it without the reference to satire in order to hook as many Progressives as possible. Because I suspect they’d get a *lot* of them. The same ones who believe that “cultural appropriation” and “racism” only go one way, that words can and should be re-defined to support their left-fascist political agenda.
I hadn’t seen “PreOccupied Territory” prior to this. I think I’ll add it to my daily reading list of religious websites alongside the Babylon Bee. What the frak kinda world are we living in that the best and actually funniest political comedy comes from the religious fundies and that the ones who want to ban video games and burn books are on the left?
Answer: yes.
Both men are a bit over 50 in these photos.
One could argue that Rudd looks good for 50. One could probably better argue that Brimley looked substantially older than 50 in “Cocoon.” I sure as frak wouldn’t have guess that Brimley was “only” fifty when he filmed the flick.
