@DrInsensitive What airline? Last international flight was British Airlines, and IIRC they had wooden/bamboo forks and knives - because planet something something

My airline meal included this knife. I want to steal it and leave it in my carry-on. The next time I fly, I will explain this to the TSA guy, so he will feel the full philosophical absurdity of his job.

@scs_real Most frozen fish gets flash frozen when caught, thawed and processed by Chinese slaves, and then refrozen and shipped back to the US or Europe

It's cheaper to use slave labor in Vietnam versus using labor in America with all the government regulation protecting against slave labor and guaranteeing clean food processing in America.

@thomasbsauer @RobManess But she’s married to the CCP-plant Kelly. It’s practically a Chinese ship

My favorite ship naming was USS Gabrielle Giffords (LCS 10) Imagine a *WARSHIP* named for a two-term, gun-grabber, shitlib congresswoman whose greatest achievement was surviving a gunshot wound to the head by a schizophrenic man. Don’t even get me started on USNS Harvey Milk.

@GovernorVA You just destroyed the economic future of your weakest citizens - hope you’re proud of it.

🚨BREAKING: I just signed legislation to raise Virginia's minimum wage to $15 per hour. We are putting more money in the pockets of the Virginians who power our economy — and charting a brighter, more affordable future for families who call the Commonwealth home.

Movie group, if you’re wondering why I’ve been so slow to post today: it’s because Mel and I are in Sicily, taking in the historic areas of Palermo! It’s absolute paradise here, and it keeps calling me away from social media! But I will be back!

@SharylAttkisson Fresh croissants, butter and Nutella - heaven on earth.

Do you like Nutella? Elaborate.

@SqwishU @firebird_1968 @WallStreetApes Wise choice - Speed Queens are built like tanks.

@firebird_1968 @WallStreetApes Glad you like it, im picking up my new speed queen this weekend, just a basic model , nothing fancy, hopefully it'll last 10 years or better

Americans have realized older appliances last forever, and even often times work better, than new ones This man shows his “1956 Frigidaire washer, I wanna show you guys how quickly it'll empty this tub and get up to 1100 RPMs of spin speed. Watch this” Appliances before planned obsolescence were infinitely better. Now everything is planned to break so you have to keep buying it every few years

@Real_RobN @SharylAttkisson @FBIDirectorKash Arrests, or it didn’t happen

Here it is: 🚨 Newly hidden FBI documents released by @FBIDirectorKash CONFIRM: The FBI staged January 6 five months before it even happened and concealed it from the President of the United States, induing AG William fucking Barr and others: A memo shows the FBI conducted a secret “January 6 tabletop exercise” in the summer of 2020 — embedding 274 undercover agents and informants, including rehearsing post-Jan. 6 mass prosecutions of Americas 5 months before it even occurred. King Solomon Reporting: The FBI’s Boston office ran a secret tabletop exercise in August 2020. It included embedded informants — 274 undercover FBI agents — and even planned “mass prosecutions,” including for minor offenses, the very same tactics later used against Jan. 6 defendants. —— This was no intelligence failure — it was a premeditated conspiracy by Democrats to suppress evidence of crimes committed on November 3, 2020. In other words, Christopher Wray will go down as the most corrupt FBI Director in U.S. history. He has outdone James Comey, John Brennan, and James Clapper combined.

@Dr_TheHistories @histories_arch You missed the part about him getting ratted out by the East German secret service at the request of the Soviets, because he had become an embarrassment and nuisance to them.

Che Guevara, one of the most iconic figures of the Cuban Revolution, met his end in the remote jungles of Bolivia in October 1967. After helping Fidel Castro topple the Batista regime, Guevara left Cuba to spread revolutionary movements to other parts of the world. He arrived in Bolivia in 1966 in disguise, hoping to ignite a peasant uprising against the Bolivian government. His campaign struggled from the start, as the local peasant population largely refused to join his guerrilla force. The Bolivian army, trained and supported by the United States CIA, tracked his movements with increasing precision. On October 8, 1967, Guevara and his small band of fighters were surrounded and captured in the Quebrada del Yuro ravine. He was taken to the nearby village of La Higuera, where he was held overnight. The following day, October 9, 1967, Bolivian authorities ordered his execution, and he was shot by a Bolivian soldier. He was 39 years old at the time of his death. His hands were cut off and kept as proof of his identity before his body was buried in a secret location. His remains were not discovered until 1997 and were subsequently returned to Cuba, where they were interred with full honors in Santa Clara. The death of Che Guevara sent shockwaves through leftist and revolutionary movements around the world, transforming him almost instantly into a global martyr and enduring symbol of rebellion against oppression. Rather than crushing the spirit of revolution as the Bolivian and American governments had hoped, his execution elevated his image to near-mythical status, inspiring generations of activists, artists, and political movements across Latin America and beyond. His iconic portrait became one of the most reproduced images of the twentieth century, appearing on everything from protest banners to commercial merchandise. Cuba used his death to strengthen its own revolutionary narrative, cementing Guevara's place as a foundational hero of the communist state. The failure of his Bolivian campaign also served as a sobering lesson for revolutionary movements, demonstrating that guerrilla tactics could not succeed without genuine support from the local population. #drthehistories

@w_terrence When you spend $30 Million on blow and bitches

Hunter Biden says he’s drowning in debt — and doesn’t see a way out. “I’ve got, I don’t know, $14–$15 million in debt that I have no idea that I’m going to be able to pay off.” He points to massive legal fees, falling income, and mounting financial pressure. Biden also pushed back on the idea that his family has wealth to fall back on: “We have no generational wealth.”

@CNviolations Trying to do Data Science in Python

What makes you do this? 👀

@the_culturist_ Less Marxism and less “critical theory”

What does society need to build something like this? Palacio de San Telmo, Seville, Spain.

@DefiantLs 🔫 - sweet

🔫 It actually works!

@RepEliCrane @MerissaCaldwell Why would you plaster over pristine desert with square miles of solar panels that will leave behind nothing but industrial blight after their expected life of 10-15 years is over ????

The overwhelming majority of rural Arizonans don’t want them. They are ugly, unreliable, and have been a leading cause of skyrocketing utility bills.

@MiddleearthMixr Congrats

@archeohistories @histories_arch One of the worst crimes against civilization

The Fourth Crusade (1202-1204 CE) was called by Pope Innocent III (r. 1198-1216 CE) to retake Jerusalem from its current Muslim overlords. However, in a bizarre combination of cock-ups, financial constraints, and Venetian trading ambitions, the target ended up being Constantinople, capital of the Byzantine Empire and the greatest Christian city in the world. Sacked on 12 April 1204 CE, Constantinople was stripped of its riches, relics, and artworks, and the Byzantine Empire was divided up between Venice and its allies. The Fourth Crusade thus gained its infamous reputation as the most cynical and profit-seeking of all the crusades. The Byzantines saw themselves as the defenders of Christendom, the beacon which shone out across the Mediterranean and central Asia, hosts to the holiest city outside Jerusalem, and the rock which stood against the tide of Islam sweeping in from the east. By the western half of the old Roman Empire, though, the Byzantines were regarded as decadent, shifty, and untrustworthy; even their religious practices were suspect. This essential division between the east and west had caused constant problems in all the previous crusades, and it was to crop up again in this one. There were also more concrete sources of division, the historical rivalry between popes and emperors, and the rising ambition of western states to wrest from Byzantium the remnants of its empire in Italy were fuelled by the failures of the crusades in permanently securing the Holy Land for Christendom. Blame was apportioned to either side for the lack of success. The Byzantines were considered to lack the will to fight the common Muslim enemy while, from the other side, the Crusaders were seen as opportunists out to grab the choicest parts of the Byzantine Empire in the east. In a sense, both sides were right in their judgement. The Third Crusade (1187-1192 CE), although achieving some notable military successes, had failed completely in its original objective of recapturing Jerusalem from the Muslim Sultan of Egypt and Syria, Saladin (r. 1174-1193 CE). The celebrated Sultan was now dead, but the Holy City remained in Muslim hands. Yet another crusade was required. The Fourth Crusade was thus called for by Pope Innocent III (r. 1198-1216 CE) in August 1198 CE. As previously, those who went to the Holy Land and fought the infidels would receive a remission of their sins, but as an added incentive, Innocent III now extended this ‘benefit’ to those who gave the necessary money to fund a warrior to go in their stead. The Pope’s timing was not the best, especially considering the Holy City had anyway been in Muslim hands since 1187 CE. In the final years of the 12th century CE, all four monarchs of Europe’s most powerful kingdoms, England, France, Germany, and Spain, were busy with internal affairs, and in the case of England and France, serious territorial squabbles with each other. Worse still, in April 1199 CE, the great Crusader king Richard I of England (r. 1189-1199 CE), who had promised to return to the Holy Land and finish his undone work during the Third Crusade, died on campaign in France. Unlike the previous Crusade, then, this was not to be a “Kings’ Crusade”. Still, a good number of second-tier nobles were inspired to join up or ‘take the cross’, as it was known, especially from northern France. There were the counts of Champagne and Blois (although the former would die before the expedition got underway), Geoffrey of Villehardouin (who would later write his Conquest of Constantinople, an important record of the Crusade), Count Baldwin of Flanders, and Simon de Montfort. 🎥© historyaillustration (IG) © Mark Cartwright #archaeohistories
