We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

@roguebrogue6 @fandompulse But the scenes do exist in his films no matter how brief they were.

@EverRise5 @fandompulse True but it was mercifully brief.

Quentin Tarantino explains why he does not include nudity or sex scenes in his films: "Sex isn’t part of my vision of cinema. And the truth is, in real life, shooting sex scenes is a pain—everyone gets really tense. And if it was a bit of a hassle to do before, it’s even more so now. If a sex scene had ever come up that was essential to the story, I would have done it, but so far it hasn’t been necessary." Is there a need for sex scenes in films and TV?

@TRobinsonNewEra Is this A.I.? There's absolutely no way someone who was elected by free citizen voters would have a problem with these same citizens who speak freely.

Full mask off moment for British politics. LibDem MP Maximilian Wilkinson: 𝕏 is a "massive problem" because it allows free speech for all, to "have their voice heard in a really easy way that they couldn't in the past".

@sciencegirl Loved this game

For those who used a computer between 1995 and 2001, what's the computer game from that time that sticks with you the most, and why

@WhiteHouse America's official troll account! LAMAO!

UNDEFEATED.

Casinos wouldn't exist without gamblers. Stop making excuses for people's bad decisions.

@ronrule @HustleBitch_ I like that idea. That would also reduce most Airbnb in that area.

Hotel chains should offer a subscription Nomad Pass option. Pay $1500-$3k per month (depending on chain) and stay anywhere up to 30 days at a time. This would be an amazing travel hack in retirement. Stay somewhere for a week or two, then travel to your next destination and stay at another hotel in the chain there. All the amenities, breakfast, etc. Consistent revenue stream for the hotel chain, predictable expense for the users.

🚨 WOMAN DITCHES RENT — LIVES IN A HOTEL FOR JUST $307 A WEEK That works out to $1,228 a month. She says there’s no lease, no deposit, and no credit check. Instead she pays $307 a week and gets: • utilities included • Wi-Fi included • trash service included • mail delivered to the hotel She’s been doing it for over 2.5 years. Inside the room she shows her full setup with stovetop, microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker, and everything she uses to live there full time. Some people are calling it a genius housing hack. Others say it shows how broken rent has become. Would you live in a hotel if it was cheaper than an apartment?

@visegrad24 After this war, the US should seriously reconsider our NATO alliance with the EU. These so-called "friends" are doing to us like what Turkey did back in '03.

🇪🇸 Fifteen U.S. aircraft have departed from the Rota and Morón military bases in southern Spain, following the Spanish far-left government’s decision not to allow their use for attacks on Iran. Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares stated that Spain would not permit its military bases, jointly operated with the U.S. but under Spanish sovereignty, to be used for strikes on Iran, which Spain has condemned.

@elonmusk I barely see crypto on here lol

If you’d like to see less politics or crypto, just select all except those ones. This is an “early access” feature, so expect it to improve rapidly.

Someone’s looking for a pardon and doesn’t realize the Clarity Act would have you locked up for much longer than 25 years. My legislation couldn’t be more different than the bill you tried to buy from Congress over my objection in 2022. We do not need—nor want—your support.

IF THE UKRAINIAN PRESIDENT DOES NOT RESUME OIL SUPPLIES TO SLOVAKIA ON MONDAY, ON THAT SAME DAY I WILL ASK THE RELEVANT SLOVAK COMPANIES TO STOP EMERGENCY ELECTRICITY SUPPLIES TO UKRAINE. Since the beginning of the war, Slovakia has been helping Ukraine. Around 180,000 Ukrainians are currently on our territory, we provide humanitarian assistance, and we organize joint government meetings. We are doing substantially more for Ukraine than some other countries. The Ukrainian president refuses to understand our peace-oriented approach and, because we do not support the war, he is behaving maliciously toward Slovakia. First, he halted gas flows to Slovakia, causing us damages of €500 million per year. Now he has stopped oil flows, causing us further losses and logistical difficulties. If the West does not mind that the Nord Stream gas pipeline was blown up, Slovakia cannot accept Slovak-Ukrainian relations as a one-way ticket benefiting only Ukraine. Slovakia is a proud and sovereign country, and I am a proud and sovereign Slovak. If oil supplies to Slovakia are not resumed on Monday, I will ask SEPS, the state-owned joint-stock company, to stop emergency electricity supplies to Ukraine. In January 2026 alone, these emergency supplies, needed to stabilize the Ukrainian energy grid, were required twice as much as during the entire year of 2025. Given President Zelensky’s unacceptable behavior toward Slovakia, treating it as a hostile country, I consider it absolutely correct that I refused to involve the Slovak Republic in the latest €90 billion military loan for Ukraine.

@mamboitaliano__ Yeah sure, as soon as they return Constantinople back to its rightful owner. They could start with a small gesture by returning the Hagia Sophia.

I swear, I really can’t stand them anymore Shall we propose abolishing Community Notes? Or at least change their form and how they’re used? As they are now, they’re awful A tool weaponized for petty vendettas by smug know-it-alls climbing onto a wobbly fruit-crate pulpit just to spoil the basket If you know more, why not comment? Why not explain? Why not engage in a real exchange? Instead, you drop a note like sulky, spiteful kids, not gifted with the ability to write, only to throw a stone and start stoning You’re just party crashers at the feast of global knowledge How sad

@BskiMike22802 Perhaps they should revisit and update the Johnson-McConnell agreement and allow the US Army to acquire the A10 instead. It would end this conflict once and for all.

The Air Force has been trying to retire the A-10 Warthog for over a decade, and Congress keeps telling them no. You would think after the tenth rejection they would take the hint, but apparently the Pentagon brass has the reading comprehension of a stop sign at a NASCAR event. Let me explain this in terms even an Air Force procurement officer can understand. The A-10 was not built and then given a gun. The GAU-8/A Avenger, a 30mm seven-barrel rotary cannon that fires 3,900 rounds per minute, was designed FIRST, and then they built an entire aircraft around it. The recoil alone produces roughly 10,000 pounds of force, nearly matching the thrust of one of its own engines. When those depleted uranium rounds hit a tank, the penetrator SELF-SHARPENS on impact, punches through armor, and ignites everything inside. During the Gulf War, T-72 turrets were blown completely off their hulls. Captain Eric Salomonson and Lieutenant John Marx destroyed 23 Iraqi tanks IN A SINGLE DAY during Desert Storm. Twenty-three. The F-35 carries 182 cannon rounds. The A-10 carries 1,174. Do the math. Actually, let me do it for you since the Air Force clearly cannot. In 2003, two A-10 pilots, callsigns Donk and Billy Bob, dove into a sandstorm near Baghdad under heavy anti-aircraft fire to save Task Force 2-69 pinned at the Muthanna Bridge. Donk's targeting computer failed. Billy Bob took lead and destroyed multiple T-72s. A shoulder-fired missile narrowly missed. They stayed in the fight for 40 MINUTES. Both earned the Silver Star. An F-35 would have dropped one bomb from 30,000 feet and gone home for the day. Captain Kim Campbell took anti-aircraft fire over Baghdad, lost ALL hydraulic systems, and flew her A-10 home using MANUAL REVERSION. She landed safely. Tell me what other aircraft in our inventory survives that. I will wait. The F-35 program has cost over $1.7 TRILLION in lifetime costs. Building 200 new A-10s with modernized avionics would cost approximately $6 billion. That is less than the COST OVERRUN on a single major acquisition program. The A-10 does not need pristine runways, climate-controlled hangars, or a team of PhDs to change a tire. It needs fuel, ammunition, and a reasonably flat stretch of dirt. Asking an F-35 to do close air support is like asking a Formula 1 car to plow a field. Sure, it can technically drive through dirt, but it was not designed for it, it will not do it well, and the cost is absolutely absurd. You want to know who does not care about stealth coatings and radar cross-sections? The soldier pinned behind a wall with rounds cracking over his head screaming into a radio for air support. He wants an aircraft that will show up in MINUTES, stay overhead for the DURATION of the fight, put 30mm rounds exactly where they need to go, take hits without falling out of the sky, and come back for another pass. That aircraft is, was, and always will be the A-10. Speaking of actually supporting our troops instead of just SAYING we support them, maybe while we are discussing $6 billion for new Warthogs, Congress could find the $10 billion over ten years to pass the Major Richard Star Act (S.Amdt.4056) and stop STEALING retirement pay from 50,000+ combat-wounded veterans who were medically retired because they got blown up serving this country. We can spend $1.7 trillion on an aircraft that melts in the rain, but we cannot pay the men and women who bled for this nation what they were promised? The wheel is spinning but the hamster died years ago. Build more Warthogs. Same airframe. Same gun. Same titanium bathtub. Same twin engines. New computers. The troops on the ground are counting on it. BRRRRRT. But what do I know, I am only a medically retired Army combat medic who called in A-10 support in Iraq and can personally testify there is no sweeter sound on a battlefield than that cannon.

@EricLDaugh In 25 years there'll be a protest from those kids whose parents didn't participate. They will claim it's "unfair" because they didn't have a choice from their parents actions. Some of those parents might even cry for fairness.

🚨 SHE’S RIGHT: “Rumor has it there are some parents with newborn children who refuse to sign their child up for the Trump account because, well, they don't like Trump…” x.com/GuntherEaglema… “…here’s what's gonna happen. In about 25 years, when all of their friends start collecting on their Trump account, your child gonna come to your house and give you that look. You know the look. Like, ‘Mama, Daddy, why you play me?!’” TDS is a mental illness.
