FPV ambush on Russian assault group on ATV. The drone waits patiently on the ground, waiting for the target to appear and then takes off to strike. https://t.co/Ec9iivourv pic.twitter.com/5Ba61shHHD

Modern warfare is insane and terrifying.
The Baltics, Poland and also likely Germany are totally fucked now. I’d guess Russia will push into Berlin sometime between 2030-2032.
I'm so old that I'm still kind of scared to put spaces in file names

A file name with more than eight characters? That’s crazy talk!
Kindle Is Making It Harder to Switch to Rival eReader Brands.
This is why piracy is the only ethical consumption method today. Sailing the seven seas is the way you should do most everything, unless you are handing (or sending) an artist money directly.
Screw the system because it absolutely is gonna screw you.
Almost anything that makes the degrowthers cry is a net good.
Let’s really make them throw tantrums. Let’s build all kindsa amazing shit. We shall bathe in their tears.
What’s even sadder than the “any age gap is rape” and “full-grown women have no agency” pseudofeminists is the men performatively declaring that to them, Sophie Thatcher or Jenna Ortega looks like a mere child. Why, they might not even be women these monk-like men are so very unattracted to them.
Bro, trust me, it’s ok to find some of the most attractive women in the world attractive. Jesus fucking Christ, fucking losers.
My advice is to not get involved in women’s intrasexual competition. It’s not actually aimed at you and only makes you look like a damn idiot.
Evil winter is finally, slowly, beginning to recede; next week, it’ll be in the 70s here.
Barely acceptable but better. Much better.
This kind of damage will take 50-80 years to recover from, if it happens at all. At this rate, we don’t have a hope against China.
The Russian government never lays off its staff.
As long as there are windows around, no layoffs are needed. Hey, it’s a system that works for them.
I listened to all or part of 352 new (to me) songs this morning.
Of those, I liked 17. This took about two hours. And to those who says there is no good new music: Of course there is. You just have to make the effort to hear it.
Marcella Detroit’s (the tall one with short hair) vocals are so insane. She sings things live most singers would not even attempt. Half of her part of the song she does in whistle register. Just what the fuck.
I’m sad I did not get to see them live back in the day.
Funny how semaglutides definitively proved the 99.9% of the garbage the Fat Acceptance movement spewed was comforting balderdash. You know, all that about “calories don’t matter” and “I only eat 800 calories a day and still gain weight” crapola.
All false. As anyone sane knew. But Ozempic etc. showed it beyond doubt.
When President Musk and yappy dog Trump are done, the country will be poorer and weaker. Granted.
But I’d like to point out that the country was also made worse and less hospitable for more than half the population by pervasive and unrestrained NIMBYism, which was mostly a PMC centrist-liberal movement. This has caused enormous harm to the United States and its future.
However, because the NIMBYs were and are seen to have their hearts in the right place it does not get counted among the grave errors of our age. And it really should.
They locked about half the population out of the housing market and reduced potential GDP 30-50%. And that’s a big fucking deal.
I don’t usually like songs this, for lack of a better word, “smooth.” But this one has a nice feel and progression.
Also, really nice lighting here. It looks a bit cinematic.
Too bad about that whole “ethics” and “morals” thing.
I think I’d make an absolutely amazing scammer. Perhaps one of the best of all time. And it’s so easy now compared to when you’d have to do it mostly in person or by mail.
