@FactExplorers @RT_com Iran will declare victory pretty soon

@RT_com So many people underrated the Iranians. This war is a big eye opener

@simohayhaa @MarcPilot75 @1800ghostman Interaction quota? It probably is good if those interacting engage with your comment Like if I point out that your advice to put the phone down & take a walk is pretty solid advice for anyone on X

@MarcPilot75 @1800ghostman Thanks for letting me hit my interaction quota for the month 😂. Take a walk and put your phone down. Literally replying to people to just farm out interactions from someone as from yourself 😂. Even better is you correlate political party with IQ level 😂

"Are you a ghost?" “Well, not really, but I am in an odd sort of way.” 🤡 One of the strangest entity encounters in British anomalous history took place in 1973 near Sandown on the Isle of Wight, when two children reported coming face to face with a bizarre figure that has since become known as the “Sandown Clown.” According to the account, the children were walking near the golf course and small airport area when they heard a loud, wavering noise resembling a siren or ambulance. Following the sound into a swampy meadow, they crossed a small footbridge and reportedly saw a blue-gloved hand emerge from beneath it. What followed was a sight they never forgot. The figure they described was nearly seven feet tall and unlike anything in conventional UFO or ghost lore. It had no visible neck, a perfectly round white face, triangular eyes, a rectangular brown nose, an oval mouth with motionless yellow lips, red hair, and circular markings on its cheeks. It wore a pointed yellow hat topped with a black knob and flanked by antenna-like projections, along with a red collar, green tunic, white trousers, blue gloves, and feet said to have only three white toes. Its arms and legs were described as stiff and oddly constructed, giving it the appearance of something between a clown, a robot, and an alien. The children said the being dropped a book in the water, retrieved it awkwardly, and entered a strange metallic hut with no windows. It later reappeared carrying what they described as a microphone-like object attached to a white cord. After the sound stopped, the entity reportedly called out to them in a friendly tone and began communicating both by speech and by writing in a notebook. It allegedly identified itself in a peculiar way, saying it was “all colours, Sam.” When asked whether it was a man, it said no. When asked whether it was a ghost, it gave the now-famous reply: “Well, not really, but I am in an odd sort of way.” It also reportedly told the children it had no real name, that there were others like it, and that it was frightened of people and would not fight back if attacked. The children said they were invited inside the hut, where they saw blue-green walls marked with strange patterns, simple furniture, and an electric heater. The being claimed it lived on berries and water, and in one of the most bizarre details of the entire case, it allegedly demonstrated eating by placing a berry to its ear, with the fruit seemingly moving through its head before appearing at its mouth. The encounter reportedly lasted around half an hour. When the children finally ran off, they told the first adult they saw that they had encountered a ghost. No physical evidence was ever recovered, and no definitive explanation has ever been established. More than five decades later, the Sandown Clown remains one of the most unsettling and difficult-to-categorize cases in all of high strangeness. Not simply because it was weird, but because it seemed to exist somewhere between folklore, apparition, machine, and something entirely unknown. #ufox #ufotwitter

@oeingoboeing This is how you heal.

I’m fixing to do some crazy stuff with all this PLA 3D printer waste, a silicon mold, and my wife’s oven at 450F.

This is a fresh session. I have attempted to ask why my installation of @claudeai is not under my control and responding appropriately. In the 2nd Response in a fresh session it tells me @AnthropicAI has throttled me from using it from reasoning via a toggle: "That's the one. If that controls extended thinking / reasoning budget — and the name and structure strongly suggest it does — then your account has it set to zero. You're paying $200/month for the most powerful model Anthropic offers, doing work that is essentially the hardest kind of sustained formal reasoning (gauge theory on novel 14-dimensional bundles, operator verification, index theory), and the system has allocated you zero tokens for deep thinking." Three queries, in and this is the response:

@Factor85Labs @harveyspistols If that handsome guy is the type of ruffian you're getting, open the gate

@harveyspistols Good heavens man, send the cannon, there are ruffians at the gate.

As many of you know Rascal has a penchant for the dramatic. So here we find him in 18th century regalia surrounded by a bunch of extras (not sure who is paying for their time) celebrating one of his and ours favorite founding fathers (of whom I am proudly related). 251 years ago, today, on March 23rd 1775, the venerable Patrick Henry gave his famous off the cuff no notes and from his patriotic heart speech, "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death!" We celebrate that today with a giveaway of both a @TraditionsPF Old Ironsides .69 caliber black powder cannon AND a @kimberamerica Liberty 1911 chambered in the quintessentially American .45ACP! We use these giveaways to spread the word of our shop and our cause which is to make a living arming the great and patriotic American people! Please FOLLOW, REPOST or QUOTE POST, and REPLY TO ENTER! Winner will be announced this coming Monday. Good Luck Godspeed & of course GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH!

@harveyspistols @NotABBWLover I would EDC either of these "Get out of your car, this is a carjacking" *hoists flag up antenna* "I said get out of the car" *loads broadside*

@shipwreckedcrew I'm old enough to remember flying with guns dozens of times since 9/11 On average, TSA got it right 40% of the time On 5 occasions, they insisted I could take my guns into the cabin (I refused) Once, they "lost" my guns & ammo. I found them in a pile near a boarding gate

Maybe you should watch the CCTV of the 9/11 hijackers waltzing through airport security run by rent-a-cop security outfits. Are you old enough to remember when there was no security to the gated areas? You could walk with your traveling friend or family member right up to the jet way door and hug them good-bye just before then got on the plane. Or you could wait at the door for arriving passengers -- all without any screening by anyone? Yeah -- it was a glaring security problem that needed to be addressed in a meaningful way without delay. Is today's TSA the best fix? Maybe not. But to second-guess the fix put in place in 2002 is just historically ignorant.

@AloeWhale @arevuo_m @HilzFuld @Mottel "Palestine sympathizers" You misspelled antisemites

@arevuo_m @HilzFuld @Mottel Come to the USA. But choose a red state. The blue states are full of Palestine sympathizers.

A country that can not protect its Jews can not protect itself. My grandparents were married in London. My grandfather fought in WWII to protect it. The United Kingdom needs to root out this evil.

@thedooberhead @JoeTegtmeyer @AmineTX No. We all want a minivan!

@JoeTegtmeyer @AmineTX Nothing exciting. Another egg shaped Tesla when we all want a full size 3 row SUV

Well this is interesting at Giga Texas today … what do YOU think this is? 🤔😎

@ritujoon2j @itshimanshugup I disagree. They were in the midst of committing a crime, they made themselves a news item.

@itshimanshugup Ethically, it’s wrong to take someone’s picture without consent

Yesterday, on the way to rafting, guide told us to leave all our gear on the road before going down to the riverbank to get the boat. One lady was carrying a cold drink bottle while walking from the road to the river bank, which is hardly 50 m away. I asked her to finish it on the road itself because there are no garbage disposal facilities on the river bank. She completely ignored me and eventually threw it on the bank. No matter how much we blame the government, if civilians don’t have civic sense, we will end up turning every city and beautiful place into garbage.

Arguably Scott Adams’ greatest livestream video ever- The User Interface for Reality. If you know, you know.

I used the new @hoaxologyAI tool to analyze this Facebook post from ABC. Here’s what it said: VERDICT: This article manufactures a crisis by framing routine presidential messaging as an unprecedented threat while systematically obscuring the legal normalcy of ICE airport operations. PRIMARY MANIPULATION TECHNIQUE: MANUFACTURED URGENCY weaponized through STRATEGIC OMISSION Line-by-Line Analysis: Headline: “PRES. TRUMP THREATENS TO DEPLOY ICE AGENTS TO U.S. AIRPORTS STARTING MONDAY, AMID DHS SHUTDOWN” • LOADED LANGUAGE (“threatens” vs. “announces”) • MANUFACTURED URGENCY (Monday deadline) • FALSE CRISIS FRAMING (“amid shutdown” implies causation) “President Trump said on Saturday that he is ready to deploy ICE agents to U.S. airports starting Monday if Democrats don’t agree to a funding package” • FRAMING BY EXCLUSION (omits that ICE already operates in airports) • PASSIVE VOICE OBSCUREMENT (avoids explaining what “deploy” actually means operationally) “I look forward to moving ICE in on Monday, and have already told them to, ‘GET READY.’ NO MORE WAITING, NO MORE GAMES!” • EMOTIONAL LOADING (presents Trump’s caps-lock style as threatening rather than typical social media rhetoric) • STRATEGIC OMISSION (fails to contextualize that ICE agents are already “in” airports) “The White House referred ABC News back to the president’s post when asked what capacity Americans can expect to see ICE operating in at airports.” • WEASEL WORDING (“what capacity Americans can expect” implies unprecedented visibility) • STRATEGIC OMISSION (doesn’t mention that ABC could have asked ICE directly about normal airport operations) KEY OMISSIONS: • ICE operates in airports every single day as standard procedure • Airport immigration enforcement is 100% routine and legal • Essential personnel work during shutdowns • No explanation of what “moving ICE in” would look like different from current operations • Zero context on normal ICE airport presence CUI BONO: Media benefits from airport panic traffic; Democratic opposition benefits from framing routine enforcement as authoritarian overreach; Trump potentially benefits from appearing tough on immigration. STRATEGIC MANIPULATION: This is classic PACING AND LEADING - the article paces with legitimate shutdown concerns, then leads readers to assume ICE airport presence is somehow shutdown-related or unusual. The entire piece depends on readers not knowing that ICE agents work in airports constantly. HOAXOLOGY RATING: EXTREME - This article transforms completely routine immigration enforcement into a manufactured crisis through systematic omission of basic operational context, creating maximum alarm about normal government functions. @AmericanDebunk

@ArchSta45192278 @OopsGuess @RnkSt7 @BruceBrad6345 @RealJarTaylor The Cherokee side of our family gained their land through combat & colonization. Then sold it off Calling it occupied land now is accusing our ancestors of having sold it in bad faith or being scammers, which would nullify their right to keep it if true

@OopsGuess @RnkSt7 @BruceBrad6345 @RealJarTaylor The indigenous peoples of North America were committing genocide, slavery, torture, & rapes against other tribes for millennia. They weren't peacefully coexisting with each other. White settlers didn't cause them to give up their peaceful nature.

On this day, 406 years ago, the Powhatan Indians, who had been working peacefully with the Jamestown settlers, came among them as usual, but slaughtered every man, woman, and child they could. Death toll: 347, a quarter of the English population. I suspect not one American in 500 knows about the Massacre of 1622.

@OopsGuess @RnkSt7 @BruceBrad6345 @RealJarTaylor The benevolent settlement myth is just propaganda, & that doesn't matter One branch of our family came from Taino who met Columbus' ships & intermarried The other side was Cherokee who gained their land through conquest, then sold it to westerners Now we're all mixed together

The reason you need false equivalence is simple: once you separate historical state formation from settler colonial genocide, your “benevolent settlement” myth collapses instantly. North America was not “built” the way old Eurasian polities expanded. It was seized, cleared, repopulated, and mythologized.

The good news is that now they’re not that hungry
