Very nice view of the space left by the escape capsule on the conning tower that the 5 crewmen left on board used, when she sank (only one survived the experience).

A surprisingly large number of them think the way to connect with Gen Z is "dress like Sylvester McCoy's Doctor Who."

A screen grab of a Times article. The photograph depicts three men and a woman - according to the caption these are Charles Amos, Rhys Benjamin, Daniel Campbell and Glesni Reece.

Charles is in tweeds and a fedora, Rhys sports a combover and a question mark pullover as worn by the seventh Doctor Who. Daniel wears a blue "Make Britain Great Again" baseball cap. Glesni, unlike the others, is not wearing an outlandish costume, just a black tailored jacket over a white blouse.

Text reads:

Meet the young Tories dreaming of a bright blue future
The Conservatives know they have a problem with Gen Z voters. At the party conference, The Times met a new breed of activists who are embracing the challenge

Dear god, in the Concorde iteration of the Airport series (and the most ridiculous one), Alain Delon is the captain and has an affair with a stewardess played by Sylvia Kristel (better-or rather otherwise only-known for her Emmanuelle movies). He must have really needed money in the late 70s.

Until now I never asked myself a question if sirens are supposed to have buttocks (this comic is on iBooks store btw, with more sfw, but significantly shorter version also available).

More propaganda with painfully normal people zip-tied at the side of the road please, this will for sure convince the American people that you're the good guys

It has always been funny for me, that chess figures have a bewildering number of different names in different languages/cultures, but horse? Everyone agrees about this one-and from the very beginning, „jumper” variation notwithstanding.

Yeah, that part just looks lazy, should be kept simple-bullet points, etc (or these days just use laptop/tablet and have relevant stuff opened-maybe this was not allowed and she said she must have this like on a screen).

Pregame=have her appearance roleplayed beforehand, with her advisors playing people who question her. Substance is criminal, I agree, but the fact that she’s delegating this-it’s how people at the highest levels of power operate.

I know which way I’d bet

Altman "has the power to crash the global economy for a decade or take us all to the promised land," Stacy Rasgon, an analyst with Bernstein Research, wrote in an investor note this week. "Right now we don't know which is in the cards."

She’s at a level, where it’s normal to have others do this for you (and quite probably they’ve pregamed it with her beforehand).

this is a good article about the politics of a country you probably don't know anything about but also this photo of the 93-year-old president and his wife is mildly insane. his daughter has also just condemned him and renounced her family wealth on social media.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Forcing immigrants into a legal limbo area, where in practice they have next to no rights and can be freely exploited, is the direction that the whole EU is moving at the current trends.

The Germans were not able to permanently destroy Soviet airstrips in the Sevastopol perimeter, even though they’ve had them within artillery range. Easier these days, with modern aircraft needing longer and better prepared landing strips, but still hard and constant work.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators
