I gotchu:

That is the Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka, a Japanese kamikaze rocket plane

Knowing conservatives, I'd be surprised if the majority wasn't not only tolerant but actually supportive of this unhinged shit. The handful of conservatives who aren't shitty people might be turned off by this, but I suspect that even for many of them it might be more a question of optics and how this'll affect their chances to win than any real disagreement with what Trump's saying

What I find absolutely mind-boggling (although very on brand) is that Russia has been working on a nuclear-powered cruise missile, the 9M730 Burevestnik. They're claiming it's a nuclear thermal rocket, but gods only know if that's true or not, and your guess is as good as mine as to whether it's open or closed cycle, ie. doest it blast radioactive exhaust everywhere. Russians being Russians, it's probably open cycle.

Russians being Russians, they've also already managed to have a fatal radiological incident while testing the Burevestnik, with a mere 5 deaths.

Guess that depends on how you define "works". Russians do a lot of stuff that's stupid and "works" – see eg. the entire Ukrainian invasion.

Gee I wonder what Palestinians might have against Israelis

Oh don't be ridiculous, who would be stupid enough to believe something like that?

Yeah, Trump isn't what's killing free speech.

Trump is a symptom, not the cause: conservatism is the real problem here. I keep saying this, but as long as we keep allowing conservatives to reach positions of power, shit like this – and worse – will keep happening.

as revealed in his new book, Play Nice: The Rise And Fall Of Blizzard Entertainment, […] he could tell when things were starting to fall apart, and a key reason for that was certain “business-minded hires,” including former CEO Bobby Kotick, who came on after the Activision merger.

MBA and MBA-minded parasites ruined shit for everyone? What a shocking revelation!

Shipping metric assloads of weapons to Israel is a really fucking funny way of trying to bring peace

Tip of the spear, edge of the knife.

Why did 'ol Wheels there get off his chair and start crawling towards the sunset? Maybe he heard the drone and figured he'd be better off Somewhere Else™?
