@DanielTyrie I suppose because they hired one Indian manager.

How is Global Affairs Canada run completely by Indians?

@SandyofCthulhu I think people like apocalypse books because the survivors get to have everyone else's stuff.

Man I expected a LOT more interesting apocalypse out of this book from the cover, which is also my version. It looked so Hieronymus Bosch-y and cool. Then it was tedious beyond belief. King's slowest and most boring book.

@AlexNoonan6 The Bell Jar

I remember when I was in highschool I asked my English teacher: how come we only read books about sad losers who ended up more sad instead of stories where people have an arc and accomplish great things. She said we can't, we don't know how

@GrimzyNews If there were people in this video, they'd have six fingers.

People who believe Iran planned to have all their ships blown away and lose all their aircraft and everything else they lost as part of a grand plan are a special kind of retard.😂

@potatoslav It's called plant-based now, when used by younger people, and boomers have been dropping it's use over the decades to a new low. Of course, that doesn't make an interesting X post I guess.

why do so many boomers insist on using margarine when butter both tastes better and is an actual food

@azzaroo242 @feydemon No point in anyone getting mad. Seems natural. The US has some sort of Western Civilization immune system kicking in while the UK is going to do whatever the rest of the West was headed for. No Nazis or Communists involved Maybe Europe is right in that you can eschew your past

@feydemon We like Canada. Your government (not all of you) threatened them then almost started a war with us. Not classy behaviour. I hear a lot more vitriol towards the US in the UK nowadays almost as much as I did in the early 2000s. Trumps set your rep back big time again.

I don’t think I’ve ever encountered a single British person while living in America for 2 whole decades do they know they’re allowed to come here

@feydemon Scads of coworkers, but they all showed up in the 1980s and early 1990s.

@fandompulse That guy looks too much like Dave Lister.

Alan Ritchson’s War Machine posts 71.4M hours watched around the globe in three days, equating to 39.3M views. Is this officially a blockbuster sci-fi action film?

@JacquiDeevoy1 Some sort of hand waving about punctuated equilibrium.

If we evolved from apes, how come apes aren’t still morphing into humans? Why don’t we see human/ape hybrids in various stages of evolution in the wild?

@kautzmania Jaysus, that's pretty heinous as music goes.

Band wrote one song fifty times and have the politics of a Brown trust fund undergrad. One of the worst artifacts of that era.

@DanYccd13 @PlowboyPodunk @Barmakf I think 'sleep' is the least of it.

@PlowboyPodunk @Barmakf Dancing boys , because their religion forbid women or girls from doing it , back during the war with Russia females were scarce so they re-adopted the practice of old . It’s basically older men putting boys under 18 in dresses make them sing and dance and then sleep with them

It is difficult to find a Taliban leader who has not been photographed with a bacha. The practice now appears openly tolerated even at the highest levels of the Taliban. Khalifa Sahib Haqqani with his Bacha

@AshFarms @MicrosoftEdge How much stuff does Edge do on Windows that isn't being a browser application?

What do you think people who work on Microsoft Edge tell their friends that they do? "I work on a browser that comes pre-installed on 82% of computers sold, yet only captures 5.46% of the market." I use @MicrosoftEdge for one thing and one thing only. To download Chrome.

@jrovner I had both of these. Lost alien technology.

i grew up in the 1960s and 70s. we had transistor radios.

@HistoryBro1 Tectonic cracking.

Behold! Valles Marineris - The Valley of the Mariners - on Mars... The largest canyon system in the entire solar system; absolutely dwarfing the Grand Canyon. What kind of geological event could have caused such a giant scar?

@toddsaunders Bummer that people don't work on manufacturing bath towels or shoes.

We all knew this was coming… but today I heard about it actually happening. A seed stage company backed by a well known VC openly admitted (in a board deck) that their strategy is to get access to a large incumbent’s software from a customer, clone the entire thing using Claude Code, and offer it at 90% less. Not “build something better.” Just copy it and offer it for less. The VC endorsed this as the GTM strategy. And even wrote back in writing that it was a good idea. Using a customer’s licensed access to reverse engineer a product and clone it is ethically bankrupt. I don’t know how else to put it. It likely violates terms of service. It may violate trade secret law as well (but I’m certainly not a lawyer). And a reputable VC putting this in writing in a board deck is genuinely insane. But it’s going to happen anyway. Everywhere… all the time. I don’t know where this ends, but we all knew this was coming and now it’s here.

@JulieChangRE So far as I could tell, the majority of solar sales were based on hand waving, magic numbers, government and power company subsidies, exaggerated reliability, something involving loans and interest rates.

Talking to solar contractor today With the federal subsidy gone Not many people are buying solar

@LisaForteUK Guild rules.

So apparently the MRI scan I paid for I’m not allowed to be sent the report!?! They will send it to a Dr but not me. I know some will say it’s for xyz reasons, heard them all, understand them but don’t agree. I paid for it, I want to be able to take it to a dr I pick

@VideoGameHstry Never cared. I couldn't imagine why someone wouldn't prefer a pinball machine or foosball.

Without saying anything, how long have you been playing video games?

@MTweetingGreatA @AutismCapital Mother of God. That's a real thing.

@AutismCapital Obligatory:

There is a real problem of the powers that be systematically going about erasing our history and nobody wants to talk about it. It’s not just the UK, this happens in the US too. They are literally trying to erase history. Tearing down the statues, changing the money, rewriting the history books, you name it. It needs to be called out.

@LeilaGriffiths Trader Joe's is just an outlet store for stuff they buy from someone else. 'Health' chips and plastic tubs filled with God-knows-what. The Sysco truck goes to all restaurants. Answer? Raw ingredients bought at a store. It's cheaper anyway. Check out Grocery Outlet.

@southernyankee On a serious note, we are coming to California soon for a holiday. Where can we eat? Have heard that Trader Joe's should sell reasonable whole foods.

Just in case you were contemplating trying Chick-fil-A’s new maple pepper bacon sandwich this weekend, here are the ingredients you’d be consuming….
