Panic is the very opposite of determination

Yes, we wouldn’t want to get panicked, would we? It might accidentally gird our loins.

JD Vance wants to use the 25th Amendment to become president. Stephen Miller wants to exploit Trump’s dementia to run the country himself. Call it the new checks and balances.

#3 is the (sad) crystallization of social media.

1. I was an opponent of the Tea Party.
2. I was Never Trump from the very start, including signing the letters that I would never work in the administration.
3. Posts like this happen when you create stories about people you were not aware existed until you got mad about something.

Agree. In the Winter War people from all backgrounds fought the common enemy in shared trenches. Only two decades earlier they had been literally shooting at each other.

People not familiar with wearing tailcoat are often surprised when I tell them it's one of the most comfortable types of attire I know. The reason: it comes with high waisted pants and suspenders. 🤵‍♂️(gentleman in the emoji is obviously attending an afternoon event)

Julkisista rekistereistä hoida ainakin nämä kolme:
1. DVV: Tietojen luovuttamisen kieltäminen väestötietojärjestelmästä: dvv.fi/tietojen-luo...
2. Oma puhelinoperaattorisi: Muuta numerosi salaiseksi.
3. Traficom: Jos omistat jonkun ajoneuvon, hoida myös tämä: www.traficom.fi/fi/traficom/...

The Ukrainian military—the toughest, most experienced, most adaptable, most successful on the modern battlefield—is beardy old men, women, artists, gamers who can’t deadlift sh*t but can fly a drone into a Russian helicopter rotor

Focusing on capabilities, not “looks,” is how you achieve victory

OTD in 2015 Russia began bombing Syria.
-we denied we'd do it
-we then did it
-we bombed lots of hospitals, shopping centers & schools to create refugees
-we said it would be WW3 if NATO got involved
-when NATO helped throw us out we just ran away

Sound familiar?

Trump tried to humiliate Zelenskyy. Now he’s discovering Ukraine holds the cards America desperately needs.

FUN FACT: The four late-night hosts that Trump hates, Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert, and Seth Meyers all have won multiple Emmy awards. Trump has won ZERO.

So who is the “no talent” with “low ratings?”

Mielenkiintoinen juttu, kiitos jaosta. Yksi asia jäi askarruttamaan tietämätöntä.

"korkeissa, yli 300 celsiusasteen lämpötiloissa. Ammoniakki taas on nestemäistä alhaisemmissa lämpötiloissa"

Eli jos pii-elämä vaatii esim ammoniakin liotteeksi, niin kuinka nuo lämpötila-alueet sovitetaan yhteen?

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.
