NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is now unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war

I think it was really nice of our president to personally, repeatedly make sure that we knew tariffs are his favorite thing in the world, so every time this happens we can direct a little more boiling resentment specifically toward him.

It's not a joke, by the way, we're trying to tell you this thing - but as much as you want to wring your hands about how bad it seems you don't really want to know how bad it is. It's bad. It's as bad as it can me.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

Counterpoint:

You absolutely do not have to hand it to enslavers

Wilson: Now, one of the things I want to do is say: I’m really glad that slavery’s gone, and good riddance. And I want to say that the Southern slave owner, who read the books of Ephesians and Colossians and 1 Timothy and treated his slaves decently, remembering that he had a master in heaven who he studiously tried to obey — what Paul said slave owners were supposed to do — I would say he was not an orc, and he is part of the reason why slavery ended. In other words, I would say he’s a good guy.

Use only water or fresh air on tear gas or pepper spray.

No milk, vinegar, antacids, urine, etc. and especially not in eye.

Thank me later,

Speaking of, why didn't 3D printers get this much attention? It's something that's actually really cool that has practical applications. Is it because they're too cool and useful? Is it because it's harder to scam people with them?
