@caldodge @ZaneCar95096859 @jondelarroz Not to mention it was for another abbreviated season. I wonder if these networks split up the seasons into two, to create some sort of fake hype about "renewal".

@ZaneCar95096859 @jondelarroz Who wants to tell Jinx SFA wasn't "renewed"? The original contract was for 2 seasons, so Paramount is contractually obligated to pay for Season 2. Note that SFA has been officially cancelled after Season 2.

Wonder Man and Starfleet Academy are both woke shows that got low ratings. So why is one being renewed when the other is being canceled?

@gunfanatics1 The Bradley is proven. The CV-90 looks great on paper at least. I actually thought we were replacing the Bradley with a newer revision of the CV-90, but guess not.

Which one is the best?

@fandompulse I actually felt bad for the guy until he started throwing around the race card and calling fans racist. The writing was bad everywhere, the character was basically lousy comic relief. They're awful forgettable movies.

John Boyega implies Disney ruined his Finn character in the new Star Wars series because of racism: "You guys knew what to do with Daisy Ridley, you knew what to do with Adam Driver. But when it came to Kelly Marie Tran, when it came to John Boyega, you know f*ck all. So what do you want me to say? What they want you to say is, ‘I enjoyed being a part of it. It was a great experience…’ Nah, nah, nah. I’ll take that deal when it’s a great experience. They gave all the nuance to Adam Driver, all the nuance to Daisy Ridley. Let’s be honest. Daisy knows this. Adam knows this. Everybody knows. I’m not exposing anything."

@WallStreetMav Fight with what exactly? Europeans are largely disarmed and defenseless. They can't win an election either, as the left has mass imported their voting bloc.

Civil war between the indigenous White Europeans and the invading Muslim migrants is inevitable. The only question is where it happens first on a large scale. Britain, Sweden, France, Germany or Belgium ... the Muslims have made it clear they are not going to assimilate. They are there to conquer. Will the Europeans fight for their countries? or will they flee to other countries?

@RMBee The Last Jedi took that crown.

INTO DARKNESS is the absolute worst, most nonsensical, braindead, big budget “sci-fi” movie ever made.

@josephradhik Bazzite has long been supplanted by Cachy. Which is understandable when they removed their lead dev. Bazzite also moved to BlueCry, a leftist social media cesspool.

May 2026 be the year that Windows 11 gets nearly as good as Windows 7. Light, optimized, customizable, yet with all the underlying benefits of a modern OS. The gamers have bazzite/steam, the niche power users have Linux, the creators almost all have shifted to MacOS (mostly because of Apple silicon), and yet the few of us left on W11 are left scratching our heads with an OS stuck in the middle of nowhere - ads, abysmal design choices, and a requirement to install 3rd party apps and regedit workarounds to make your own OS just work. Make Windows Great Again. Please.

@NewsHour @IAmAmnaNawaz The outright goal of islam has always been conquest. It was founded by a genocidal warlord, and leftist media wonders why people are wary.

EXCLUSIVE: While rhetoric disparaging Islam is not new, “there's an unabashed nature to it,” right now, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said in an interview airing Friday. “It is being echoed from the highest offices in this country,” he tells @IAmAmnaNawaz. “They do so without any sense of shame.” Watch more from the interview on Friday's PBS News Hour.

@lastrealhumans @LokiJulianus After a forced update

@LokiJulianus I have decided I will hold him personally responsible for the crime against humanity that is OneDrive

That bad, huh.

@Senninsage It's price and availability. The only reason I booted into Windows last year was because I wanted to play some PUBG. Gaming is still the hook for many Windows users at home.

People already use Windows far more than macOS and Linux, and they do so by choice. Windows can improve, but it's lightyears better than either Linux or MacOS.

@EuroCitizen86 @RudyHuyn @pavandavuluri Ads, telemetry, OneDrive and Edge nagging the user. AI Slop being merged with everything.

This is why I haven’t posted in a while! This has been a major focus for me recently, and it’s been incredibly energizing to work across orgs and collaborate with multiple teams to tackle these challenges and push shell and File Explorer forward! Follow @pavandavuluri if you want to know how we are improving Windows!

@RudyHuyn @pavandavuluri So basically revert back to something like Windows 7. No more forced AI slop. No more ads. No telemetry. No OneDrive and Edge integration. No forced MS online accounts.

@BillyM2k We spent twenty years in Afghanistan, with boots on the ground. And the Taliban came right back. Why did anyone expect the Iranian regime to give up in a couple weeks from airstrikes?

how the heck does iran still have a functioning dictatorship if everyone's dead

@McClint57188728 @WallStreetMav We couldn't defeat the Taliban with boots on the ground for nearly twenty years. Iran is significantly larger, we'd need a draft and a war time economy.

@WallStreetMav If the Apaches and A10s are flying slow and low unrestrained, there should be no reason to have infantry on the ground, but I'm no war person.

At some point, the US Navy and US Airforce run out of targets to hit in Iran. They have already destroyed the nuclear program of Iran. 99% of their missiles and drones are gone. Their ability to produce more have been destroyed. The Iranian navy and air force is destroyed 100%. They have killed the top 200+ Mullahs and military leaders. We are not going to do a ground invasion. So at some point we just need to stop bombing and see if the Iranian civilian government steps up and takes control, then is willing to adopt a new posture.

@WallStreetMav Or we ran out of guided munitions and are waiting for resupply. China missed an opportunity to seize Taiwan. We have nothing in our tank right now.

@davepl1968 I'm using Cachyos/KDE at home and of course Windows 11 at work. The clunkiness of Windows is apparent and so irritating. There's no way I believe Linux would take over in five years, or whatever, but Microsoft was helping achieve that themselves.

Microsoft is apparently finally admitting that what many users have wanted all along is a faster, quieter, more dependable operating system. Not more Copilot. In a new Windows Insider post, Microsoft’s Pavan Davuluri laid out a broad quality push for Windows 11 centered on performance, reliability, and what the company calls “craft.” More likely, it's what Steve Jobs called "taste", if you remember THAT interview... And honestly, a lot of it reads like Microsoft finally sat down, opened Feedback Hub, and decided to take the complaints seriously. The headline changes are exactly the kind of practical fixes power users have been asking for: taskbar repositioning to the top or sides of the screen, fewer forced update interruptions, more control over when updates install, faster File Explorer, lower baseline memory usage, better search responsiveness, fewer notifications, and more reliable drivers and wake behavior. Microsoft also says it is reducing “unnecessary Copilot entry points,” starting with apps like Snipping Tool, Photos, Widgets, and Notepad. The Windows Update story is interesting.... Microsoft says it wants updates to be less disruptive, with a move toward a single monthly reboot, the ability to restart or shut down without being forced to install u-pdates, and the option to pause updates for as long as needed. That is a major philosophical shift from the old “we know what’s best, enjoy your reboot” era, even if the real test will be how consistently Microsoft follows through in shipping builds. Performance also seems to be getting real attention instead of marketing lip service. Microsoft says Windows 11 will reduce its own resource usage, improve memory efficiency, make File Explorer quicker and more dependable, and lower latency by moving more core experiences to WinUI 3. The company specifically calls out Start menu responsiveness, search consistency, faster file operations, and a smoother overall feel under load. That is the sort of engineering work users notice every single day, even if it doesn’t make for a shiny keynote demo. My personal benchmark is to be able to type 'Download" into the Start menu and have it find my Downloads folder. Not a Bing search for a Copilot download. The Copilot pullback is equally interesting because it suggests Microsoft has realized there is a difference between useful AI and AI sprayed across every available surface. The company is not abandoning Copilot, but it is dialing back what it describes as unnecessary integration points. That sounds a lot less like “AI everywhere” and a lot more like “maybe Notepad didn’t need to become a sentient billboard.” The most encouraging part of all this is the tone. Microsoft is not pitching this as a revolution. It is pitching it as a cleanup, stabilization, and giving users more control. And that may be exactly what Windows 11 needs. After years of feeling like the operating system was being used to push services, experiments, and mandatory behavior, this looks like a return to a simpler idea: Windows should serve the user, not manage them. I, for one, still advocate for Windows Pro having NO advertisements, bloatware, or needless telemetry. Make people pay, then quit asking for more. But I've been barking up THAT tree for years. Now the obvious catch: these are commitments and previews, not a completed turnaround. Microsoft has promised a lot here, but Windows users have long memories. This is probably still the best Windows news in a while, because it focuses on the fundamentals: Faster. More reliable. Less noisy. More customizable. Less pushy.

@pavandavuluri Going from Cachyos with KDE at home to Windows 11 at work is jarring. Windows UI feels so sluggish and restrictive. You're on the right page with those UI and design changes

The team and I have spent the past several months analyzing feedback from the community. What came through was the voice of people who care deeply about Windows and want it to be better. Read this blog post to learn more about what we're doing in response as we look to raise the bar on Windows 11 quality. Please keep the feedback coming, to help us shape the future of Windows together. blogs.windows.com/windows-inside…

@OleBeezer @MCCCANM There's no reason why anyone besides the big three of China, US, and Russia needs gen five. Russia is afraid to use theirs on deep strikes in Ukraine. China is untested, and the F-35 can now be detected and locked on.

@MCCCANM Doesn’t matter what they buy, they won’t use them.

Are we still debating the F-35 vs the Gripen, or have we stopped that conversation yet?

@AlexHollings52 Fat Amy isn't very stealthy. If Iran can detect them and lock on, that means China and Russia can. A much cheaper fourth gen fighter is a better option. More range, more munitions.

I am not surprised that an F-35 got hit during intense combat operations against a Top-20 global military. Also not surprised at the skill and toughness of Air Force pilots. I AM a bit surprised to learn just how tough the F-35 can be when punched in the mouth.

@ABC @JamesAALongman If Iran can detect and lock on an F-35 with old Russian hardware, then the jet is highly vulnerable to modern Russian and Chinese anti air defense. It's bound to happen one day, just like the F-117.

An urgent investigation is underway to determine how an F-35 stealth fighter jet, which costs roughly $100 million and is nearly invisible to radar, was struck during a combat mission. @ABC News' @JamesAALongman reports. abcnews.link/pdk2RVz

@media_saboteur @shortmagsmle Iran downed a stealth RQ-170 back in 2011, and recovered the wreckage to advance their drone industry.

@shortmagsmle Last incident I know of I think was an F-117 stealth fighter in Kosovo or something. 90’s

Assuming that Iran did tag one of our F35’s, it appears the plane was able to limp home. Considering that we’ve flown a few thousand combat sorties and this is the first incident of enemy fire hitting a plane, I wouldn’t shit my pants over it.
