@XianResistance @BallerToy1327 Oops. I’m imperfect.

@DarrellRoot @BallerToy1327 Not a movie but... Chekov in "Mirror, Mirror".

Its these Klingon crystals. #StarTrek

People owe Trump and Ratcliffe apologies. Basically Iran had missiles capable of delivering a nuclear warhead to every major European city. Influencers may have been willing to role that dice but Trump wasn’t.

@USW_PR_HONTata @PeteHegseth @DoW_USW_PR And there’s definitely a need for F-35 maintainers this month. Win-win having him back! 👍🫡

Today, our @DoW_USW_PR team is proud to share the story of another brave warrior who was negatively impacted by the COVID-19 vaccine mandate, Mario Quiroga III. Sergeant Quiroga, an F-35 Fixed-Wing Aircraft Mechanic, was involuntarily separated on January 21, 2022, after refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccine. Following the release of EO 14184, he was contacted by @USMC and worked with the Marine Corps Recruiting Command & the COVID-19 Reinstatement Cell to navigate the reinstatement process. On June 12, 2025, soon after being reinstated, he reenlisted, was promoted to Staff Sergeant & returned to active duty. His rank was backdated to April 1, 2024, and he received duty station preference & backpay. Said SSgt Quiroga, “I never wanted to leave the Marine Corps. I didn’t agree with the vaccine policy, but my commitment to serving never changed. I’m grateful for the opportunity to come back and continue my career. There’s nothing…that compares to the pride and purpose of serving alongside Marines.” Welcome back, SSgt. Semper Fi!

145 Democrats voted against mandating deportation for illegal aliens who commit sex crimes. 160 Democrats voted against mandating deportation for illegal aliens with DUIs. 186 Democrats voted against mandating deportation for illegal aliens who commit welfare fraud. 190 Democrats voted against mandating deportation for illegal aliens who harm police animals. Democrats have literally never met an illegal alien that they didn't want to protect.

The most bitter paradox of our time: Tehran is currently experiencing military strikes, yet the air is the cleanest it has been in YEARS. We actually have rainbows, snow, and blue skies! Why? Because the Islamic Republic's massive, grid-draining crypto farms are offline, meaning their power plants aren't burning toxic Mazut (heavy fuel oil) over our heads anymore. The daily traffic of their corrupt, substandard economy has halted. The Islamic Republic itself was a weapon of mass destruction. Their “peace” was suffocating us. The end of this regime is literally letting Iran breathe again!

In 2024, there were 10,000 entry-level jobs at Amazon that were given to foreign students through the OPT program. Amazon doesn't have to pay payroll taxes on these employees. It is a massive incentive to ignore American grads.

@McFranchisee Mac minis are great platforms. I know McDonalds doesn’t have the software, but it might be worth McDonalds HQ building some prototypes and then inviting their Microsoft rep in for a tour.

This whole Windows ESU license update is an absolute disaster. Every single device running Windows 10 now needs a new $200 license from headset systems to kiosks. All the vendors you bought this equipment from are not equipped to track you down later and ensure compliance. Every week I get an urgent 11th hour email giving me 24 hours to provide a vendor information I don’t readily have, or else I risk going dark. As if restaurants weren’t already difficult to operate, this just adds more headaches. Anyone else fighting the same fight?

@SawyerMerritt @wholemars If the jurors and judge are so good at picking “correct” company valuations, they should run a hedge fund

Everyone with a brain, including Elon himself, agrees that $44B was overpaying for Twitter. In retrospect, it was worth way less. This will no doubt head to appeal.

Bigger story here: implied range of an Iranian IRBM from a launch box in central Iran, with a range of ~4500 km (distance to Diego Garcia). Theoretically could also target sites into Central Europe.

@SandyofCthulhu This is how you can know they are unarmed: 😉

Please explain how I can know they are unarmed. Please explain how me & my wife, both 70yo can survive if a young, strong “unarmed” intruder assaults us.

@CBSNews It’s the Schrödinger valuation: simultaneously too big and too small

A jury has found Elon Musk liable for misleading investors by deliberately driving down Twitter's stock price in the tumultuous months leading up to his 2022 acquisition of the social media company for $44 billion. cbsn.ws/3PejaEO

In 2007, when Chuck Norris visited Marines in Western Iraq, he demanded to get away from large bases and instead visit the small FOBs and COPs. MNF-W said it would be too dangerous, but Norris insisted and in the end, got his way. I'm forever grateful for the example he set, and this awesome choke hold.

@iunderwood @TechOperator And they would consider it money well spent since it apparently resulted in your IT career. Mine too. ❤️😢

@TechOperator The real heroes were my parents! The whole getup my folks bought me was $2500 back in 1984.

Only absolute legends had dual 5.25" floppies back in the day.

@WhamBaamX Hit and run where both parties are guilty? 😂 (Probably both uninsured 😡)

Rookie mistake

@JeremiahDJohns Chuck Norris faked his death to go on an undercover mission.

Who's the main character today?

@Currentreport1 The IRGC spokesperson could not be reached for comment.

BREAKING: Iran's IRGC spokesperson Ali Mohammad Naini has been killed in strikes in Tehran.

Tesla is winning over a hard-to-please and influential group—truckers. Truckers who drove it in pilot tests say they loved features including a centered driving position, faster charging and longer range for about $100,000 less than other battery-electric trucks. on.wsj.com/4shzrax
